Mt lemon

we packed a lunch and headed for higher elevation, Mt Lemon--it was a nice little drive and much cooler!!

Big girl

I looked back and saw a big girl, not much of a toddler anymore :(

Meet Sparkles

Sparkles the baby chick loved coming in from the heat to play with the kids

How pregnant people lay out

Meet very very pregnant Lierin--she is a nut!!

Schools out for summer!!

 

School is out!! At first Aydan was sad cause he wont see his friends (I love how big his heart is) then at the picnic lunch he made me promise we are not going to move cause he needed to go to Redhawk next year--don't worry we are not gonna move!!!

outfit of the day

Weeding

Well don't you weed with your snow gloves on???

Tetnus shot?

I had to drive Ian's truck the other day--I should have taken it to the fire station and had them hose it out--all of it.  15+ years of nasty just filled up in this truck--good this I had my tetnus shot!!! (but I did like drive a stick shift!! why don't they put those in vans??)

The graduate

She is a kindergarten graduate!! YAY

Brand new look

Kyndal refuses to let me brush her hair--so you know what that means....a more easier low maintenance do!!


I LOVE it, it is so sassy just like her!! and Miss B got a trim up also!!!

Happy Mothers Day

Well it is a dreary snowy depressing day! It has snowed all day (still snowing) so stuck inside with the kids (ggrrr) Ian is working and our bank account hates us-so nothing exciting going on over at our house!!!

But here are to the kiddos that make me a mom!! They drive me bat shit crazy, happy and proud all at the same time!! I wouldn't have it any other way!!

He is going to Prom

Is he really old enough?? :(
Zach went to his first Jr/Sr prom on Saturday--time sure is flying by!!
He had so much fun and I am glad he decided to go and always have this memory!!

Being Pampered

Brooklyn's kindergarten class had a Mother's Day spa today!

they served us cookies and juice

painted my nails

filed my nails

so pretty

foot massage with minty lotion

then a back rub

best day ever!!!

cupcake bandit

So Zach happily volunteered me to make cupcakes for his class (again--but he raves that everyone loves them--so how can I say no)
So I get them baked (orange for our EHS SRs), go take a shower-get dressed, hair and make up and come downstairs to make frosting and see this......

So I ask B and K-who did this
"not us" they both reply and B bolts upstairs
I ask K-WHO did this
K-Zach
me-Um Zach's at school
K-um fwintin (Quintin)
me-Um Quintin is at school
K-then I just don't know

oi vay

a viola and a cello

I am super proud of these two, they have both been in orchestra since the 6th grade and just keep getting better and better!!!

(I have a video but can't get it to work ugh)

These guys are called "2 Cellos" they are AWESOME!!!

And the award goes to...

Quintin...
SO we are sitting at the acedemic award ceremony trying to figure out "why" we are here (they dont tell you before hand--and I KNOW Quintin's grades--he's smart but lazy) so we are waiting and waiting as each department gives awards and FINALLY--GYM comes up--hahah it all makes sense now the only class he has an A+ in!!
Go Q!!!

Front porch swag

Found this $20 (for 2 chairs and love seat) deal--fresh coat of paint and viola!! (now new cushions!!!)

These genes run deep
