Brecken's farm field trip

Brecken's class had a special afternoon field trip to a farm, and the teacher invited the family's of all the children to come as well. Daddy took the day off of work and we took the boys with.  They had so much fun seeing all the calves and cows.  We even got to a see a newborn calf who was trying to stand for the first time.

 

 

 

 

Crew {1st Haircut}

Crew had his first hair cut today.  His hair was getting a little long around his ears and at the back of his neck, so I trimmed it up a little for him.  He was definitely a moving target but we got the job done.

 

 

 

 Ignore the dirty face.  We just came in from doing yard work all afternoon, and this guy likes to play in the dirt.

 

Crew {10th Tooth}

Crew's 10th tooth, his left upper lateral incisor is coming in now.

Brecken's 1st play date

Brecken had his first play date today with a friend, Collin, from school.   He was so excited to go home with him.

 Brecken has so much fun with his school friend.

Teacher Appreciation and Warmer Weather

Last week was teacher appreciation week and we sure appreciate the teachers at the kid's school. We made a lemon cake for their luncheon and gave them gifts to celebrate them. I cried writing the card to Brecken's teacher because he has grown so much over the past year.

 We have had warmer weather which means we practically live outdoors. 

 One weekend it was so warm that the kids wanted us to set up the kiddie pool. Sadly the kiddie pool had a hole in it last year so we only had the baby pool.  But they all climbed in.  And then Mackston said "Mom, can you come in here?" 

 We went to the driving range one night to practice.  The kid's thought it was the best thing ever.

 Even Crew had fun.

 

 

 I planted some flowers on afternoon.  My help needed a mid day bath. And he may have sampled the dirt.

 

 

We are so excited to close out the school year and be home everyday.

Mother's Day 2018

Mother's Day weekend started on Saturday with lunch and dinner with Grandpa and Grandma, Jeremy, Jessie, Allie and Ryan to celebrate Mother's Day and Grandma's birthday.

 

 

 

 

Happy Mother's Day to my mom and mother-in-law.  Thank you for all you do for us and for our babies.  We know we don't say it enough, but you are amazing!

We had a very relaxing Mother's Day, well after church that is.  The boys were a little restless in church but other than that, the day was perfect.  Chesney sang in the children's choir at church for the first time and loved it. I let her wear a pair of my dangly earrings to church. It was her first time wearing this type of earring, and she was so excited. And she got herself completely dressed and braided her own hair.  What in the world happened to my baby girl!?!

 

 

 

My kids were so sweet and showered me with lots of hand-made gifts. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma and the kid's teachers for help with such sweet gifts.  And Chesney planned a party in honor of me.  She had all sorts of cute poems and messages taped to her walls.  The best part about the party is that she made a game called "pin the high heel on Mommy".  She had a cut out person who was wearing a dress and you had to pin the high heel on her.  That little girl sure knows her Mommy.

 

 Brecken thinks I'm 70 years old but at least he loves me more than monster trucks.

 

 Chesney asked me my favorite things and then made a giant sign with all of my favorites in bubble letters.

 

 Pin the heel on Mommy.  I just love Chesney's creativity.

We had lunch with Grandpa and Grandma,and then we went to a local greenhouse to pick up some flowers for a flower garden I want to plant.  The kids did an excellent job of picking out flowers with me.

We planted some flowers and then ended the day with a trip to the ice cream shop. I am beyond blessed to have these little sweeties who call me Mommy.
