Summer.....

Well, I haven't blogged in a couple weeks! That is so strange for me!! The kids are all doing fantastic. Jackson is still going strong in Tball and football. I do promise to get some pics on soon! The kids and I went to Utah last weekend and had a great time with my friend Holly and her boys. We went swimming one day and then to Hill Air Force Base and this great park that is like a pirate ship the next day. Kids had a blast, and mom got sunburned. Lesson learned, don't forget to sunscreen yourself as well as the kids!

Play Time

Well, we've been busy playin and it's been fun! Jackson had a football game last night. It rained. I took some pictures, but since it was rainy they aren't that great. So if next weeks game is better I'll post some from then. After the game, his two friends Jake and Adam came over to spend the night. We stopped at the dollar store and got lots of candy, popped popcorn, and they watched Kicking and Screaming. It was the first time they had friends over and it went quite easy. They were asleep by 10:30.

Then this morning the four boys plus my sisters boy Paxton and I went to the summer movie today at The Reel. It was the veggietale movie, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. They really enjoyed it. After that we went to the park for the free lunch and they played. It's been 70 degrees today and we've soaked it up!!!

I work tomorrow at the hospital. Jeff is playing in a golf tournament. My mom and sister are having a hard sale here tomorrow and the kids get a babysitter, which they are excited about!!

Hope everyone has a great sunshinny weekend!!! And Happy Father's Day to all the awesome dads in my life and all of yours as well!!!

Baby it's cold outside!!!!!

Ok, so I swear that if this weather doesn't get warm soon, I'm moving to the east coast! I'm so jealous of their heat wave right now!

Today Jackson had a TBall game at 9 am. One of the very few I ge to even go to. So I bundled the kids up in what I thought was warm enough clothes ad off we went!! Reading the thermometer in the truck on the way....it say 40 degrees... Wow, it's gonng be chilly I think to myself. Chilly does not even begin to describe the cold wind blowing when we got out at the ball diamond. The kids were saying they were cold and wanted to go home before our feet even hit the sidewalk! But, we went. The coaches (bless them) deicided that we would only play one inning. Which was great, because for that whole inning Kaden did nothing but cry and say he wanted to go home. I think Miss B was in shock and didn't make a peep. Jackson on the other hand was still having fun playing. He made an awesome first catch of the game when his team was in the field, and then made a great hit when he was up to bat!!!

After the game we went home and the boys sipped hot chocolate while I cranked up the heater! Completely ridiculous since it is June 11!!!!!

Take care and STAY WARM!!!

Update at Last!!!

So sorry for how slow I've been! My excuse is that my computer has caught a virus and runs at a snails pace! So everytime I get on to update, I get frustrated and give up!! But today, I decided that I had to do it! So.... Jeff's birthday cake is the pic on the bottom. It's a pool table obviously. Everyone thought it was cute and it tasted amazing! Yummy chocolate, can't go wrong!

The boys and I had a date night on Friday night. We went to Idaho Falls and ate at Leo's place, the went to see my girlfriend and her kids in a dance performance of The Wizard of Oz. It was so fun to watch! The boys really loved it! Kaden kept asking about the witch. My friend Karla was one of the witches in it, so after the show we hunted her down for a pic. As you can see Jackson thinks she looks fabulous. Where's Kaden you ask? He's standing with his face buried in my legs crying big crocodile tears saying "I don't like the witch" Oh well.... Now when he starts having nightmares about green faced witches, I won't have anyone to blame but myself. Besides that though, the performance was wonderful and we had a great date!!

Not to much else happening right now. Jackson continues playing TBall and Football. I get to finally make it to a TBall game on Wed, so I'll take some pics then and post them as soon as I get some patience!

Last Day of School!!!!/ Jeff's BDay!!!

Well, it's the last day of school!! YIPPEE!!! Jackson was pretty excited. I decided to celebrate with him, so I got up this morning made him blueberry pancakes and sausage and hot cocoa. Plus he's been asking since he learned how to ride his bike if he can ride to school. So after breakfast for everyone, Jeff attached my bike trailer and the kids and I rode with Jackson to school! That ride made me realize.....I'm outta shape!! Plus I gotta ride back at noon and ride with him home! Good thing the school is pretty close!!! The kids are loving the trailer though. Brooklyn was singing to us the whole way.

Today is Jeff's birthday...32!! He chose the Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I think everyone from the my family and his parents will be there so we'll be quite the crew! I'll take pics and post them. I ordered him a cake from the cake queen Paula, so I'll post pictures of that too!

Jackson has offically started with TBall and Football practice now. So we're staying busy with practices for each twice a week. It's good to keep him active though!! He gets into much more mischief when he's bored!!

Perfect Attendance.....

Today Jackson had an awards assembly at school. He received a perfect attendance award. He hasn't missed a day all year. Good Job Jackson!!! The last day of school is next week, the 29th. I think we're all excited for summer break! Hope everyone has a great Memorial Weekend!



So this is a really bad picture apparently.... Guess I need to read up on my new camera!!! Anyways....he's in there....
