I love mommy....

I woke up on Mother's Day only to find that my children and husband had been doing some planning and shopping for me! They made me a very sweet card (see below) and bought me some nice gifts.

This is the card they made, on the back they each wrote something to me.

After a wonderful day at church, we then went to grandma and grandpas, had a wonderful Mother Day's Lunch at the club and then did a couple holes of golf.

Grandpa giving Chase pointersKami loves to play golf, she is a natural.

Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mothers!!

Mother's Day Tea Party

Kami's classroom had a Mother's Day Tea Party this year. Her class was the only class in the whole 3rd grade to do one so we were very privledged. They greeted us, escorted each mother to her chair, and got us our "tea" (lemonade) and cookies. My oh my, don't those Linens look good!!

Kami singing a song about how much she loves me!!It was really a nice treat to come to her classroom. It is very rare that anyone gets to go into the classroom know a days, so it really was nice.
Mrs. Pavlick took pictures of all the kids through out the year and gave them to us on a disc to have.

My beautiful NINE year old!! Can you believe she is 9!!! I love you Kami!! Thanks for a fun day!

Where is Christian?

Christian is such a stinker....literally. As of lately, when he needs his diaper changed, he runs and hides. Usually it is on one of the couches with his head buried in the cushion because if he can't see me, then clearly I can't see him...

So it was definitely time to change his diaper and so he runs, only this time I can't seem to find him in his normal hiding place. So I am looking and looking and really can't find him. How hard is it to find a 2 year old hiding??? Isn't that the question of the day!!!

So this if the first thing I saw when I finally found him. Curled up under the bench!! I just had to laugh (and grab the camera!!) Since then, his hiding places have started to become more unique!! Like I said, What a stinker!!! I guess my next option would be to just follow my nose!

Happy Birthday!!

The boys favorite thing to do....eat popsicles!! Christian goes straight to Grandma's freezer and pulls with all his might (not quite strong enough) to get a popsicle. However, Christian has learned to only eat half a popsicle, throw it away and go get another.
Happy Birthday Kami and Grandma!!
Their birthdays are close enough that we do a celebration at once!!
April is such a busy birthday month...Grandma Sue, Grandma Bah, Uncle Randy, Kami, Aunt CeeCee, Uncle Cameron....am I forgetting anyone??? If so then Happy Happy Birthday!!

Dog Sitting

Let me begin by telling you that my two boys are deathly afraid of dogs, especially Chase. They have never been attacked to my knowledge (and I know everything), they are just scared. So when I was asked to dog sit for 9 days, needless to say, Chase and DADDY were not happy with me accepting. Daddy isn't afraid, he just doesn't want our house smelling like dog.
So, after the first night of Christian crying for hours (this is going to be a long 9 days....) he decided that Gabe isn't so bad after all. He also discovered that Gabe really likes carrots.
Best buds!

Hugs!! Gabe is a very patient dog, although, my children were very gentle with him. We told the kids this was their test. If they helped walk the dog, pick up poop, play with the dog, then we would get one. Well they surpassed all of our expectations!! Kami even picked up poop, and Chase took him for a walk to go poop!! Chase has made it very clear that we are now allowed to get a dog only if it is like Gabe. Gabe is @ 12 years old, he has pretty bad arthritis and is an epileptic dog. He is very very calm and non threatening!! Anyway, so when the owners came to get the dog, we were all crying. It is amazing how quicky one gets attached.
