Bring on the Camping Season

Over Memorial Weekend, my parents, Chris and Sam, and the kids and I went up the Selway to go camping. It was a wonderful weekend.

First Photo Shoot Attempt

So I have been trying to take the pictures of the boys since my wall needs updated. I really dont want to take them to a professional since it is so expensive and they never turn out the way I want. So we went to Chris and Sam's last night to try taking their pictures. They have such a beautiful yard that we knew we could get good pictures. The problem....the subjects didnt cooperate. They fought with each other and made each other whine and cry. So this is what we ended up with. Next time...hopefully not so many distractions. Rick and Chris were hitting golf balls while we were taking pictures. Not helping when 2 little boys wanna golf.

Toddy's new Shoes

Toddy picked out his new shoes. He loves them. You tell him to go get his shoes and these are the ones he brings back. And yes he does have more than one pair. I am his mom. My kids have lots of shoes. Daddy doesnt like them. He says they came out of mommy's era. I am sure they will grow on him though.

Mothers Day

We had a great time on Mothers Day. Rick, Dallon, my dad, and Chris went golfing in the morning. I know, why do they get to go have fun on mothers day, they should be home slaving over us. But, while they were gone, us girls (my mom, sam, and I) and Toddy planted flowers, went shopping, and made all the goodies for the bbq. When the boys got home they bbq'd for us and then we hung around outside. I think the pictures will explain it all!!! It was a great Mothers Day!!! Oh, and since Rick got to have all the fun yesterday, he is taking me shopping today. I think there is an alternative motive since he wants golf clubs!!!

Looks like we had more fun than what I thought!!!

Video's of Mother's Day

These are the videos of my brother wearing Toddy's helmet and riding Dallon's bike. He rode down the sidewalk and made the turn and came up the road. Stay tuned for a slide show of all the pictures and happenings on Mothers Day!!!

This is Rick riding Dallon's bike. He wasnt brave enough to put on the helmet. What a great role model right?

Some Fun Pictures

So Rick put a new application on his Ipod....he is having way too much fun with it!!!

Happy Anniversary!!

Today Rick and I have been married 7 years!!! It seems like forever. We have had a very exciting 7 years and hope for many more to come. I love you Rick!!! Sorry we cant be together today, but we can celebrate when you come home!!

Update on Dallon

Well, I got Dallon's hair cut at Walmart yesterday. By looking at the pictures, need I say more...it is horrible. He will be getting it fixed on Monday. This is the first time that some one else, besides for me, has cut his hair since he was little. He was so excited to have it done and it didnt look good. But, he did very well.

So, what else is going on with him? Well, he is becoming a very independent little boy. He is turning 5 in August, so he thinks that he should get to have a say in everything that he does. He wants to stay a lot at other people's house. This is very good because he does very well. Usually he doesnt want to come home. He is really wanting to help me cook these days. So, we make a lot of things that he can help with. Now if I could just convince him to help me clean the hosue we are set. The past 2 weeks, he has learned how to ride his bike with no training wheels. He can go down hill and on the flat really good, but uphill is still a challenge. Now, for the good news. He gets to start preschool in the fall. He is very excited about this. He will be going 3 days a week. I think Toddy and I are excited too. Probably Toddy more than I am. I will probably bawl the first day. Anyways, you are probably asking why he isnt going to Kindergarten since he will be 5, well boys mature slower than girls and we wanted him to be at a good learning level. My Aunt Vickie gave me some very helpful advice and this was the best option for him. And since he is excited then so are we. I guess school shopping this summer!!!
