My Funny Boys

So, I am learning a lot raising these two boys. They are very loud, laugh all the time and can make something as simple as eating cereal in the morning turn into something crazy and fun. These two boys make it all worth it. These two boys say the funnies things, and keep us laughing around here. A few recent ones that have been said

Thomas,"Mom why is the house so clean?" me, "I don't know Thomas what do you think?" Thomas, "I think that God came down here invisible and used his special powers and cleaned everything up."

Joseph goes around constantly saying "You no see me, Mommy" with his eyes squeezed shut.

I am trying to remember to write down all the funny things that come out of their mouths, so I hope to have more to share soon.

Snow Days!

I am Back

So I kind of got away from updating the blog for the past several months. I thought I would start with just a few pics from Christmas. The boys had a blast and received lots of toys that were from Toy Story 3, Bass Pro play sets with trucks, and boats and more action figures. Addy who will be turning 10 this month, received clothes, her very own Monster High Doll, and a guitar. Savannah got Wii and Ds games and her very own Tether Ball set, she also got the classic Sorry game. The kids had a great Christmas and have actually gotten a long very well this Holiday Break.

Softball practice starts back up this week, and Swimming continues with another Swim Meet in about two weeks. The girls also will be participating in the Pinewood Derby in a couple weeks, and then the Father Daughter Dance follows that. I plan to try and get the boys involved in something soon to get us through the winter. I am excited to be starting my new schedule at work in just a few weeks. I am part time casual so I only work 2 shifts a pay period,which isn't bad, but now instead of working every Friday like I have done for 6 years or so. I am switching to every Wednesday and then I have to work every 6th Weekend. This is so exciting because I will be able to enjoy the weekends with my family.

In about a week Allen and I will attend his Annual Holiday Party and I look forward to having a night away with my husband who I love very much. One of my Biggest new years Resolutions is to spend more time with my husband and be a more loving and supportive wife. I think sometimes as a busy Mom I may fail in this department. I intend to be much better this year. I love you Allen.

Spray park with Friends

Addy has been taking art classes at the Nelson this week, so the kids and I have been looking for things to do. The first day the museum was closed... so we sat outside and the kids ran around the sculptures outside of the museum. I believe it was 99% and after an hour, we ended up going and sitting in the air conditioned car and watching a movie till her class was done. The second day we visted the museum and packed a picnic lunch. Today we met up with some friends and visited a spray park at a park in the area. The kids had a blast. Tomorrow is Addy's last class and I will post pics of the things she has made this week.

Fun at the Beach

We may not live near an ocean, but we can still find beaches to hang out at that are close by. Last weekend, we went 3 days in a row.

Fourth of July

My Friend Chrissi and I decided that we needed to arrange for a 4th of July parade this year. We had done this a few years ago but not had one the past few years.

We took a family picture in our Red, White and Blue!

Belden Bray Trip to the Zoo

We took a trip to the Zoo a couple weeks ago, with our favorite family. The weather was perfect and the kids had a great time.

They had so much fun playing with this silly bird in the Rain Forest

Joseph loved the "ooh ah ah's" otherwise known as the monkeys
