Memorial Day

We took the boys to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They were excited to see it. The boys had watched the other three episodes of Indiana Jones last week. Later we went to my parents house for dinner. It was a pleasant day!

Father & Son Campout

The Friday night before Mother's Day our church has a Father and Son campout. The boys really look forward to this campout and talked about it all week. Eric didn't go this year as I am just not ready to let my baby go. Aaron tells me too many stories about how he just lets the boys wander off and run around without much supervision. I think Aaron is a little too trusting. The weather was perfect and it appears my boys had a good time.
One of my boys will eat hot dogs. The other one won't.
What is it about boys and fire? Nicholas really likes to roast marshmellows. He said he only ate 10 this year.
Here are both boys playing with their friends.....near the fire?
Carter and his friend Dallin playing with the new playground equipment by Lake Grapevine.

Do these boys look tired? It is only 11:30pm. Then they woke Aaron up at 6:30am.

The boys came home exhausted and dirty after their outing. After getting them all cleaned up they all took long naps.

Thank You Uncle Larry

When Uncle Larry stayed with us several weeks ago he had to leave very early in the morning to catch his flight home. When the boys woke up, they checked the room where he had been staying hoping to say good bye before he left. Instead, they happened to find something special had been left behind. Carter awoke first and came to our room as Aaron and I were still asleep (Aaron went back to bed after dropping UL off). He was waving something in front of my face hopping all the while. Uncle Larry had graciously left behind some money for the boys with strict instructions for them to go buy something for themselves. Thank you Uncle Larry, and here are the pictures of what was purchased...

Carter with a new Transformer
Nicholas with an Indiana Jones Lego set.

Shortly after his visit we received a package from California. Inside was a very nice card from Uncle Larry thanking us for letting him stay with us while he was in town (we wouldn't of had it any other way) and a box of Wine Country Chocolates.
Now the weather isn't as nice and cool in Texas as it is in California. In fact, the day the package arrived the temperature was is the upper 80's. I popped the chocolates in the refrigerator and by the time Aaron got home from work we were able to enjoy the delicious delights. Yes, I did share. Thank you Uncle Larry.

I'm back again!

I haven't posted latley because our memory card reader was broken. We had to buy another one in order for me to download the pictures from my camera. I have a lot of pictures. I will try my best to update my blog weekly or maybe monthly. I do have a life!!! So keep checking :)

Mother's Day

I'm so blessed to be a Mom to three loving boys. Being a Mom is not easy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I love tickling my boys and giving them hugs. Hearing them laugh brightens my day.

Aaron and the boys made breakfast for me. My sweet husband made dinner and also did the dishes. He is a wonderful man. A couple of weeks ago Aaron gave me these beautiful roses.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you!!!! You are always there for me when I need you. You have been such a good example to me.

Here is this wonderful man again. Aaron grilled chicken for us at my Mom's house for our Mother's day get together. Aunt Susan brought bubbles and fun stuff for the kids to play outside. Eric spilled a bunch of bubbles on him. We had to put his shorts in the dryer. He kept entertained with this bubble maker.
My Mom and her six grandchildren. My box of chocolates. I did share them. Mom got one, PJ got one, and Susan got one. My boys don't like chocolate covered strawberries. That left me with more to eat, but I shared some with Aaron. Oh, they were very delicious!!! Happy Mother's Day to my mother in law Karen. You are the best mother-in-law a girl could have. Happy Mother's Day to PJ, Kelly and Chrissy. I love you all!!!

Bill lives...

Is that yellow duckling "Bill" All of the kids were able to pet the baby duck.
Eric thought the duckling was so cute.
Carter preschool class went to the park for a picnic with their bears.

Two Months and Not a Day Longer....

Okay, so a little time has slipped since the last post. The weather now is certainly warmer. The snow from the previous post was gone by the next day. After receiving harassment from various folks about not posting, I pledged to myself that I wouldn't go longer than two months without posting. The date of this post has special significance because it is the birthday of someone special who we all love, Michael Tom. Michael always enjoyed being with our boys and they loved being around him. He left us too soon. He will always be a part of our family. Happy Birthday Michael. You are missed.
