MOTHER'S DaY!

W

Everyone was testing there cart wheel skills!


Grant HaD to get it on the AcTion!

What a memorable Mother's Day!

SumMER Fun!

The boys were at it again! I decided to embrace it instead of getting upset they weren't still dry right after we took them in and dried them off! Wouldn't it be so fun to be a kid again? No worries at all!

HORSE N ArounD!

Some of Dad's (Rob's) childhood toys!

This was GRanTs way of helping out packing. We have been going through a lot of boxes that have been stored and have been finding a lot of Dads (Robs) toys from when he was a we little lad, several hats from his mission, and OTHER things! The kids absolutely love it! They have been wearing the hats and pretending to be Indiana Jones. GOOD tiMes!

TiME 2 MOOve ON!

The Bitter Sweet times in our lives! We bought a new house a little closer in so now it is time to pack up and move on. We are leaving our first home we bought and have been living in for the past 5 almost 6 years! We are leaving it in good hands though! :) Many changes are happening in our family right now. I will also attempt home-schooling the kids this next year! I know... that is a freaking me out too but hopefully it is going to be a great experience and time to grow closer with my kids!

The kids were a big help with packing! I just wish it was all done!

BoYs! BoYs! BoYs!

I just LOVE my two little men! They know how to put a smile on my face! I made these shirts for the boys and they absolutely loved them (thanks for the help aunt Danielle). Grant came downstairs with his "DUDE" hat on (his hat backwards... and yes he came up with that all on his own) and the cowboy boots all by himself.

Grant got attacked by the LotIoN!

Fourth of July!

So I didn't do that great on capturing our Fourth of July festivities this year. Thanks Christy for the great party as usual. I totally spaced bringing my camera! All I have are a few pictures of the kids eating their fruit kabobs! Just a little something fun... until they started using the skewers as swords! LOL Seriously though I really feel that it is sooo important to teach our children about the history of our country especially with our FREEdom being threatened every day. I have not done such a great job in the past but that is going to change! I love my country and am so grateful for those who have sacrificed their lives and precious time in fighting for it!

GRANTS 2nd BiRthDaY!

(can I eat already?)

Grant loves to help in the kitchen and decided he wanted to help make his birthday trEAT!

Grant and his partner in cRimE!

(So my post are going to be all out of order but I am determined to get them all in this year. The important stuff anyway!)

My little baby is TwO now! Time is flying and I so LOVE the stage my kids are at. I truly enjoy watching them grow and learn about life! It is amazing how each child is so unique and different from one to the next. Grant definitely keeps us all on our toes around here. He is the CaBooSe of the family and just keeps us going! Yes his birthday is May 19th and I am just now posting it. Shame on me!
