A Camping we will go!

Well our first trip of the season was a success. We went with 4 other families who all had kids that were 7 and under. The boys had so much freedom this weekend coming and going with their friends to the park, other campsites, bike riding and fishing that we barely saw them. This was definetly a new kind of camping for them. The twins had a blast playing with all of the other kids and riding bikes as well. They were the youngest there but the older kids liked playing with them, they even had a bedtime story read to them by one of the girls. Thankfully we are doing a lot more trips with friends this year otherwise our kids might think that camping the rest of the season was boring.

TIMBER!!!!!

So, we finally did it. We had been talking for some time about cutting two of our large trees down in the backyard to give our yard some more sun and clean up the play area for the kids. We debated for a year about topping or trimming them but in the end thought it would be best to cut them down. It is going to take some getting used to but we already love it. We could actually see the sunset tonight and it was beautiful. We are going to plant some smaller trees and bushes in place of it for some added privacy. We'll post more pictures when we are finished.

Elmo's Green Thumb

We took the kids to Sesame Street Live last night. I think Brook enjoyed it the most and kept wanting to know where Elmo went every time he wasn't on stage. Bry really didn't want to go but I think he secretly enjoyed it and Bug was a big fan as well. O just kept looking at the stage in awe and didn't really know what to think. It was definetly a show for the kids :)

Happy Mother's Day!!!

We spent Mother's Day morning at the Earle's house and had an amazing breakfast. Thank you Roger and Sue! The kids had so much fun playing with their family. We also celebrated Griff's 12th Birthday. Wow! All the kids are growing up so fast and getting so big. Happy Birthday Griffin!

We then headed to my mom's house to enjoy an afternoon of food and relaxation with my family. The kids were so excited to play with ALL their cousins on Mother's Day. We are so Thankful and lucky to have both are families close by.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Mothers, being a mom is sometimes hard but fun and rewarding at the same time. I am so Thankful for each of my 4 wonderful unique children.

1st Tball game of the season

Bug had his first Tball game of the season today in the rainy weather. All the kids did really well for their first game and had a lot of fun playing in the mud. Bug had some great hits and loved running all the way home.
