Hamblin Dairy Farm

I feel bad that I don't get to participate with Dylan in his school stuff very often, so I was VERY excited that David was able to take half the day off today so I could go with Dylan on his class field trip to the Hamblin Dairy Farm. It's been about 13 years since I've been on a school bus, and I got to ride on the very back seat, whoo hoo, doesn't that mean I'm cool?? It was so much fun to hang out with Dylan, and the other three kids I was in charge of were super sweet and cute and it was a fun day. We got to see a lot of cute baby animals which I think was the highlight of the farm.

Our group: Dylan, Ezra, Sayla, & Makaylee

Bedtime Stories

Ty loves to crawl into bed with Dylan and Mickell at bedtime and pretend that he is sleeping with them. Last night Mickell found a train book and read him stories before bedtime. It was so cute and Ty was in seventh heaven.

WrestleMania Shakespear Style

The kids absolutely love to wrestle and although David was tired last night he finally gave in to their begging and pleading. Can you tell who is winning?

A day at the salon

Lucky lucky me, I got selected for a free day at the salon getting a fabulous new hairdo by two of the most amazing hair stylists I've ever met! Don't I look amazing!!

Dylan and Ty

I thought the boys looked cute in their matching outfits today so I had to take a picture. Although they look a lot alike, they are so different. Dylan is my sweet sensitive artsy mama's boy and Ty is our crazy sporty daddy's boy.

Happy Valentine's Day

We had such a fun Valentine's day together. When we first got up David and I gave a cute stuffed animal and treats to each of the kids, then Dylan and Mickell had made some cute valentines to give to everyone. The kids were so sweet and thoughtful to us and to each other and even put chocolates and suckers on there gifts to each other.

The weather was really snowy all day, so even though I hate being cold and wet, we thought it would be really fun to take the kids outside and play in the snow. We bundled them all up, and ended up being outside for over 2 hours! They all had so much fun, and Ty was kicking and screaming when we finally made him go back inside.

We had such a wonderful day together. I love to see my kids happy and I love it when we are able to have fun like this together. I love being a mom, and I'm so grateful for the good life that I have.

What a great dad!

For the past while Mickell has been telling me that she really wants dad to bring her some boards home so she can build something. She called him up at work the other day and he told her that on Saturday they would go buy some boards and figure out something they could build. After talking to him on the phone she came up with the idea to build an airplane. On Saturday we all went over to Lowe's and picked out some boards, nails, and a hammer for both Dylan and Mickell. When we got home Dylan quickly drew up some "blueprints" and David helped them sort of plan out how they were going to build the airplane. The kids helped with everything and were acutally really really good at hammering in the nails...well, Dylan and Mickell were really good at it and Ty just had fun pretending. David made a propeller and a steering wheel for each side of the airplane so they could both play in it at the same time. It might not look like much, but they had such a wonderful day and were so proud of all their hard work. I'm so grateful that David is such a great dad and that he would spend his day helping them to create something so fun.
