Pure Joy...

Unloading of Pictures

AWWW... yep they sleep like this most nights!

Kevin just ended his first season of soccer... he is the one in the white jersey with the red hoody, he did great! The first practice was spent mostly lying on the ground but he got more and more into it after that. We got the "they aren't sharing" comment and the "I need a break" but over all he did much better by the end of the 4 week season. It was a lot of fun to watch him with is team.


Grandma and the boys being cute!

Kevin rockin his soccer gear with his boxer briefs!
And drum roll please......


I finally uploaded a pic of the paint job in the master bedroom.. three stripes on the South wall...and!

I have finished the headboard that has been two years in the making... literally, got the fabric two Christmas' ago, and the board and batting this Christmas... I don't know about you, but I LOVE IT! ( now Tyler is telling me to go order more to make a foot board...lol.)P.S. it will be a little taller than that, it isn't mounted yet.

Other than that we have been working hard in the yard. We built the garden boxes and got the dirt and even put one of the boxes in, now we just need to get to the rest of them. do the fence post for the raspberries and tomatoes, pick weeds, I could go on and on.. but really we love having the nicer weather and being outside ( the boys love it too) Tyler went on a camp out and had Scout-o-rama this weekend so we only got a half a days work in yesterday but we got everything mowed and edged... the yard is starting to look a lot better! Spring really is my favorite time of year!

Its never to early to force higher education on your children...

So the boys were splashing in the tub last night and I asked them to stop, more water came out... so what did I do? it went something like this...

Mom: "you guys need to stop splashing the water of out of the tub"
Kevin: "why"
Mom: "because you guys are gonna ruin our bathroom floor with all the water and then there isn't gonna be anymore money to send you to college"
pause..
Kevin: "but I want to go to college"
Mom: "then keep the water in the tub"
a couple of seconds pass as he thinks...and i chuckle to myself
Kevin: "hey mom, whats college?"
Mom: chuckling "college is where smart people go and get smarter, its called higher education"
Kevin: "Oh, I thought you said that me and you and dad were going to go to college to get brushed?"
Mom: "nope honey, you get brushed at the dentist, this is college"...

p.s. the dentist conversation is pretty funny too!

Later Tyler asked me how college came up in the first place... when i told him it was because i was trying to get the boys to stop splashing in the tub, he laughed, said "nice" and realized, i will do anything to push higher education on my boys....lol.

You have to start early! HAHA!

Where else do youth think i could slip in college...
"you better finish you food, or you won't grow up big and strong or go to college"
"you better clean your room, or your college roomate with think your a wierdo"

Easter weekend

So we had a blast traveling down for Easter/ conference/ baby blessing weekend to Utah. All fo Tylers siblings (6, plus spouses) plus grandkids (25 top be exact) had a grand ol time! Baby blessing of baby Hunter, family pics, and and easter egg hunt like I have never seen before! (egg hunts with only two children in your family are way different!) it was so much fun! the kids loved it! got some great pictures and enjoyed lots of family time! the boys were so beat this morning I let them sleep in a miss preschool and speech.. I know I will regret it later, but I figured they needed their sleep! Plus Uncle Ken was there! so the kids got to see ALL of their aunts and uncles! It was crazy fast (we even had to cut out early before the birthday party!) but well worth the drive! I'll have to get picture from Ty later... so cute!
