May 2013 part 1

It's been a while! We had quite a few things in April and May that have kept us busy. SUMMER is here and we are sooooo excited! We decided to try planting a little garden this year. It produced a few little tomatoes and onions and then it just didn't like us anymore. It didn't like me...I'm horrible with plants and gardens! I killed a ficus tree that a teacher gave me as well :( We'll try again next year!

Soccer season at school just ended. Braden recruited his best friend Tyler to play this year. They had an inexperienced team so it lead to some frustrating moments for him. I think he learned (I hope) some things through the experience...
and he's getting really good at ignoring me :)


 Heston has never had a big birthday party. His birthday is in August and right when school begins and I have been a slacker about following through with a big friend party. So we decided to have an early birthday party for him. He invited all the boys in his class and then some. I rented a room at the McQueen rec center and it has to be hands down one of the smartest decisions I've made in a while :)
It was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Party theme that Paige and I planned, Heston loves the Ninja turtles. I have no pictures of the cute games we made, the fun popcorn mix we made for each boy or of the gifts Heston received. A Pinterest worthy party? Far from it.
It was insanity at its finest and the boys had a blast :)
Just as I was telling the moms about how the boys couldn't possible destroy the place, a ball was kicked up to the ceiling and one of the tiles got jacked up :)
I really have to give Paige some serious credit for this party, I couldn't have done it without her. She's creative and she knew just what those boys would love. She should start a party planning business! Thank you Paigey! :)
Aaron and Braden swept in with the pizza (after all, that's what ninja turtles eat) and took a turn with the kids too. It was a family effort for sure. We all slept well that night :)



My only request for Mothers Day was some pictures with my kids
It was a good day :)

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!
 I just adore these kids. I just adore being their mom.
I'm so feeling so blessed today. I remember being 5 years old and wanting to be a mom. (Along with my dream of being owner and waitress of Kriston's Kafe and being a nurse on the side)
Who knew being a mom would be so challenging and rewarding? Mom made it look effortless. (no joke, I have one of those mothers that always has her stuff together.) Seriously, my mom is such an inspiration to me. She has so many great qualities. I love her so much :)

May catch up

Just catching up on a few things...I can't believe May is half way over!
Paige received Student of the Month in her class, we are very proud of her!
Mother's Day was so nice. The kids made me go back to bed and brought me in some breakfast. My favorite part of the day was the homemade little cards and crafts they made at school. I look forward to this every year! Braden made me a little photo album in my favorite color. Heston made me a frame with a picture of us in it. Paige made me a little coupon book and also a story book.
This is the inside of the book that Paige made...
My favorite food is salad (and I love mushrooms so she drew those in there too)
The thing that I don't like...
that's sushi
and that's the truth


I help our family by cooking dinner on my sweet pink stove (a pink stove would be fun, wouldn't it?)


This is me (she drew me using my favorite color, I love that)
doing the laundry. That's our couch and it has clothes laying on it. This is a true representation of what our couch looks like most of the time. Laundry...that stuff is going to be the end of me...
This is B, P and I jumping rope. In the evening, we'll go out and do some jump rope. They'll teach me fun jump rope rhymes and then I'll teach them some from when I was younger. I jump the rope until I pee my pants and then we call it a night. The joys of giving birth...
My sweet daughter...she knows me too well ;)

I LOVE BEING A MOM!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!


















This is such a great holiday, to give us a chance to thank our Moms for all they do. I just wanted to wish my Mom a Happy Mother's Day. I love you and I'm so thankful for you!
