Which mom are you?

Take this test!
OK, so maybe you never went straight from a convent to motherhood, but it's a safe bet that you encourage and support your family in much the same way that Maria did. Playful and yes, sometimes a little mischievous, you tend to lead by doing, and you always make sure to help your children achieve their goals without actually doing it for them.


You inspire your family because you always find creative ways to make even the most mundane chores or homework problems seem fun and important. And you want others to try to find the beauty in life — whether it's from art, music, books, or adventure. Those are just a few of your favorite things.

Monster Trucks!!

These pictures are from the pit party before the show. It was a lot of fun to get right up next to all the trucks. The kids had a great time.

Grave Digger....of course!


Kason and Kaiden in the wagon! The only way to go anywhere really...


Tough man Kason! I went go get him down and he told me..."It's ok mom, I can hang a little longer!"


Superman is Kason's very favorite truck.




Monster Mutt!

Happy Birthday Jayli!

I can't believe my baby is 2. Her birthday was last Thursday. She is the cutest little thing I have ever seen, I just can't get enough of her. She is so big and getting so smart. She is already potty trained (for the most part), sleeping in a big girl bed, and just so sweet. My little messy face, wild hair, crazy girl. She is always thinking about her brother. She won't take a piece of anything without getting one for her buddy! It has been so much fun watching them play together and be the best of friends.
Here are a few pictures of her over the last year. Ok so I had planned to just do 1 picture from every month, but I had a hard time deciding, so I did a few more!!! Awwww, isn't she the cutest!!!
Well I thought the pictures would double up, so it seems extra long!

Weekend with all our company!!!

Grandma & Grandpa and Kaiden came down on Wednesday night for the whole weekend. The kids had a great time playing. The boys were too funny, laughing the entire weekend. Grandpa got the boys new race jammies and they loved them.
Grandma made Jayli a new little summer dress. Doesn't she look cute.




Scott, Brittney and Blair came down on Thursday night. Friday afternoon we decided to go to Chuck E. Cheese since both Kaiden and Blair had never been. I already ha 70 tokens when we got there and we figured that would be enough for all of us. Before we left I decided I should print out another coupon for more just in case. Well, the first 70 lasted about 1/2 hour. So we got another 100 and that lasted about an hour. All the kids had a lot of fun. Scott and Blair had a big basketball tournament going on. When we first got there Blair was going to play a soccer game. It had a ball that came down 1/2 way then you had to kick the ball from under a bar and try to make it in the goal. So he gets up there and first try kicks his shoe clear up inside the game. Kaiden came walking over and said "Blair why did you put your shoe in there?" It was pretty funny. They all got lots of tickets and lots of dumb little toys that they love! Jayli and Grandma stayed home because poor Jayli still wasnt feeling well and so she was having a nice long nap.



It was so much fun to have everyone here for the whole weekend. I think everyone had a good time (until one by one the flu started going around). I hope they will all come back again soon. Kason was so sad Kaiden had to go home. Monday morning he woke up and first thing he said was "I think Kaiden should come over today." I sure wish we lived closer together so the kids could just come over and play for the day. Maybe someday!!

Easter!

I'm a little slow, but I figured its better late....right??
