Mud Soup

The kids wanted to make mud pies, they kept telling me they need one more cup of water


I got sick of filling up the little cups of water. So I filled up a pitcher of water and gave it to them.




And instead of making mud pies she made mud soup and bathed in it.





Once they were done I hosed them down as best I could in the back yard and then threw them in the bathtub. They were so gross but they had so much fun.

Ryan's Birthday

Poor Ryan he didn't get a big party this year. We went to the movies, and then to Cheesecake Factory. I was so glad he picked that for his Birthday dinner. I love that place.

We gave him his presents. I bought him a bunch of little gifts and spread them out on the floor and let the kids pick what they wanted to give daddy they thought they were pretty cool.

Hailey is really into Home made cakes, so this year we made daddy one of his favorite's yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

The big 33. I think he looks really good for an old man. =)

Fathers Day

Sunday is a busy Day for us. So it was pretty low Key. I'm a bad wife and forgot about breakfast in Bed so I had to run over to the mother in laws and barrow some groceries to make breakfast for my wonderful hubby. Then we gave daddy his presents and went to church. I had asked Ryan what he wanted for fathers day dinner and he said nothing special because by the time we got home from church at 5:30 it would be midnight before we ate. I felt bad but said OK. But the night before Jammie aka-mom in law IM'd me and asked if we wanted to come over for dinner to her house. So I told him his mom wanted us to stop by after church, when he asked why, I told him I think she has a little fathers day present for you, so we surprised him with one of his favorite meals Roast and mashed potatoes. Thanks Jammie







This has nothing to do with Father's Day this is just Jacob's Funny Face

Ben's new trick

Some mornings Hailey would get Ben out of his crib so he could play with her and Jacob. Then one morning I asked Hay did you get Ben up this morning and she said No. So I thought oh no he's climbing out of his crib. At this point I was hoping it was still a fluke then Hay was still sleeping and Ryan brought me Ben in our room and said look who I found wandering down the Hallway. So I put him in his crib to see what he would do and this is what happened. He's barely 18 months old. Doesn't he know he's my last baby so he needs to stay little?

Cole's Birthday

Our friends little boy turned 5. They had a really cool water party the big kids had such a good time and I took Ben back at the end and let him play for a little while. He had a good time

I didn't get a picture of this but as Ben was running around and he ran over to a pool that the sides were taller then him and he wanted to get in it but I told him no because it was a big kid pool, well we all know how well he listens to me so as I started towards him he flat footed jumped over the edge and into the pool. He was saying oh yeah mom you want to bet.

Clean Garge

This picture won't mean anything to those of you who have never been in my garage before, but for those of you who have had to walk through my garage afraid for your life, and afraid that something might reach out and grab you or that something might topple over on top of you. You can appreciate this picture.

End of the year water party

Hailey didn't get a big Birthday party this year. So instead I let her have an end of the year water party, and she got to have her classmates and a few other eduprize friends over they played in the sprinklers, played with water balloons and water guns.

Had cookies and Popsicles. They had a good time.

Ben's first icecream cone

Ben has had ice cream before but this was his first ice cream cone. He didn't like eating it like normal he would stick his finger in it and lick the ice cream off of his finger. He's so cute.

Night out with the Girls

I went out to dinner with some of the girls from the office. I really enjoyed it. I don't get to get away very often so it was nice to have some just me time. We had a good time.

me and Sarah


Marci, Myrna, & Sam

Hailey's End of the year party.

Hailey thought she was big stuff because she got to sit behind the desk with me and help hand out treats to her classmates.


The kids painting pictures for end of the year. I got pictures from 3 different kids.

Hailey and Mrs. Chamberlain. Hailey and I both adored her. She was a great teacher and we were very sad when we found out Hay wasn't going to have her for 2nd grade.

Logan's 3rd Birthday

My Cousin Evan's little boy turned 3 the day after Hailey's birthday. They waited for it to warm up a little and had a swim party for his birthday.

What a cute cake. Ya gotta love Mickey Mouse.

I'm not sure what he's up to but he had such a cute look on his face.



The kids love using the silly string. I don't think they'd ever used it before. They thought it was great.
