How Dad Gets Creative!

Its interesting to see sometimes how boys can simply entertain themselves. I came out of the bedroom to find all of them with these little stacking cups on their heads. Not sure how or what was keeping the children entertained with this but it made for a funny picture. Kenny loves to play with the kids and he is always so creative.

Zach thought this was the coolest thing. To me he looks like a birthday cake......oh the life of a mom with boys. Its fun! Never a dull moment.

Sad moment but Happy Ending

This was my yard Saturday night and Sunday Morning. Saturday was a crazy day and when we came home Kenny decided to dig up this hole that he noticed had excess water in it signifying a leak. As he was digging the groud was just so saturated. At that point in time I was calling my best bud, Felicia, back and told her about our little leak. Her husband jumped right on it and came over to help Kenny figure it out. After being here for an hour and digging he decided we all needed to eat and come back and figure the whole thing out. They took us to the most amazing place that dreams are made of and we had the best dinner followed by yummy ice-cream....you guys are the best! Anyway so back to my story, we get home at 9pm and the boys proceed to dig. And dig. I should have been studying but watching the men figure this mess out was much more interesting then drugs ( not taking them but studying them) so I went out to help. They had to dig up half the yard and I lost a Lantana in the process but they felt like they knew where the leak was so all was good. Except Home Depot was closed and we had no water and the next day was Sunday. Kenny and Adam both knew it had to be done and evidently many members of our church did too because on Sunday many people showed up or called to offer their help. With the expertise of Adam and Thad Kenny was able to fix the water by having to replace the whole line. Turns out our wonderful builder put in terrible piping that can have pin hole leaks in it after only a short period of time. THANKS DR HORTON HOMES!!! Anyway, our yard is back to normal, I can't figure out how to clean the street from all the dirt but the best part.....WE HAVE WATER AGAIN!!!! YAHHHHHH! Thank you so much for all who helped!

I tried to fill the day with lots of fun. We went to kids at the park. Went out to lunch with the girls and then had ice cream and cake with my parents. Overall it was a good birthday.

Happy Times

I thought this picture was so cute. Zach loves Tyler so much. One night as I was sitting on the couch I looked over when I heard rumbling in the toy box. I look up to see Zachary with these ugly alien glasses on upside down. I busted up laughing and then Zach thought Tyler needed to wear them. This was Tyler's reaction.

Tyler is 10 months old today. How crazy is that. He is such an amazing baby. Always so bubbly. Never really complains.
He loves to eat, push around his Winnie the Pooh car and play with Zachary in the bath tub.
He is such a light in our house. Always making us laugh and entertaining us.

A week almost worth forgetting


This week was the start of my nursing program. Before it even began let me list the possible bad "omens" that occured that made me question my decision. Not to be worried though its totally worth all the trouble to have this degree.

First- babysitter stuck in Utah (Still stuck in Utah)

Second-couldn't find essential shot records that I had a month ago. (Found them thankfully, next time I will follow that wonderful voice that told me in advance to look for them).

Third- Zach becomes ill the day before school starts. Ends up having Bronchitis and an ear infection in both ears.

Fourth- Tyler becomes ill (Croup).


Four very stressful situations. However, as I was studying during naptime Tyler woke up ready to play. I threw this ball a couple times and he would roll it back. I just kept trying to be focused on my book. Finally, I realized I hadn't heard from Tyler. I look up and he is staring at the book blankly wondering whats so amazing. I then gave him my highlighter. He used it as A HAIR TANGLER. MY HAIR MIGHT I ADD! If you can tell he is not the healthiest baby at this moment. But at least I got him to smile. He will invent new uses for highlighters before this program is done.

Things I learned this week:

Homemade Crockpot stroganoff amazing for 3-4 meals. Change it up between serving over noodles and rice. Yummy.

Germs are everywhere, I need to go clean my bathroom.

Getting to school an hour early gives you much needed study time.

Adjust side mirrors before merging onto the freeway.

These are Only a few of the crazy things I have learned.
