First day of school

Well the kids are just getting out of school to go right back. They had a short summer because of year around school. We had a fun time off together but they were glad to be back with their friends. I can't believe Morgan is in 5th and my Loryn is in preschool. I actually have 3 hours to myself 3 days a week while Loryn is in school. All the kids have great teachers and I am excited to see what they acomplish this year. I am also on the board in pta now that I have some extra time to myself and can spend more time at the school.

Roo Farm

We had a great time at the Roo Farm with Aunt Jamie. The kids loved being able to hold and feed all the animals. The only down fall was it was so stinking hot. Lacie was my most cautious about holding the animals. She is alot like me with animals. They had so many different animals you don't normally see at zoo's. Loryn loved the sloth hanging from the tree. We will have to go back when it is much cooler out.

Catching up

We had a fun Fourth of July with family. Lots of fun to be had swimming, watching fireworks and spending time with our loved ones.

This Easter we headed out to Nelson, Nv to hang out with the family to celebrate. We had tons of fun walking through old mine shafts, easter egg hunting,playing games, target shooting, and just spending time with loved ones. I am proud to say Marc and I won the adult egg toss, happily not get covered with egg yolk and the adult easter egg hunt. Like always the kids were on a sugar high for days after all the treats. One of my favorite parts is Easter dinner with Marc's family on Sunday. We have fun visiting and eating the best food made with love from his mom. I love holidays and getting to spend time with all those who mean most to us. It was an EGGcellent Easter!

Valentine fun

A group of my girlfriends and I got together to make Valentine candy boxes for our husbands. I think it was so much fun to make and I think Marc will appreciate it alot more than me buying him a box of chocolates. All of us brought a treat to share and enjoyed chatting while doing our boxes. I like that I was able to personalize it more and leave my own messages to him all wrapped up. I am so grateful for my Valentine and fall in love with him a little more everyday!


So this year I picked these mailboxes up for each of the kids, and everyday until Valentines I leave a little suprise in it for them. Each day the kids hit the door running to see what is in them after school. I have had fun doing this and love to see my kids with smiles on their faces. I love that such simple acts of kindness brings so much happiness.


Here is my dollar store project me and my friend Missy did. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Disney on Ice

This year all the kids went to the show. Mason was so excited to see the cars. I think that was my favorite part of the show. This was also Loryn's first time going. I love watching the look on their faces. She was happy to see Ariel and wanted ti go right down and see her. My mom and sister spoil my kids with this every year. Not that the show isn't enough they have to buy them one of the toys that are so over priced and all the sweets. This year Morgan said she was to big for the toys and didn't want one. My poor big girl is growing up way to fast. We all had a great time and the kids look forward to this time each year.

Mason is 6

Of course you can't celebrate your big day without having donuts with G-ma. The kids look forward to this every year.


So my little man turned 6 and boy am I sad. He is growing up before my eyes. I wish I could freeze time or at least slow it down. Mason is such a sweet boy and very loving, especially to his mom. I gladly admit he is a mama's boy. I dread the day he doesn't want to hug and kiss me goodbye. We were going to have a sports party at the park but because of the rain we had to change plans for his party. We stayed in and had a movie and snack night with a bunch of his pals. He wanted all boys, but had to settle on having his 3 sisters there also. It is funny how different all girl parties are to all boy parties. He had a great time and really enjoyed hanging with all boys. I am so grateful for my boy and love him to pieces!
