It has been a while

Hello everyone!!! Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Our summer has been wonderful and incredibly busy. Colin and I made a trip to MN for a wedding, we have been fishing a lot, playing non-stop, and I even started a part time job. Things have been absolutely wonderful. We are finally catching a short rest before the craziness next week and I thought I would stop in and say hi to everyone.

It is difficult to believe there is only one month left in the summer. Before we know it the snow will be falling again. So for now I will leave you and get back to enjoying this beautiful weather. I will post pictures soon. Enjoy!!!

End of May in Pictures

The end of May was full of fun. We had something planned every day. Story time came to a close, Jason finished his first year of preschool and we started to get into the summer swing of things.

Jason had been playing in the sprinkler.

Jake really thought it was funny when Jason got wet.

This is what it looks like when you punch water.

And this is how Jason got dripping wet.

The kids took a break to be cowboys.

A trip to Cody was a perfect opportunity to fly kites.

Jake's kite flew high.

Jason and Grandma Connie got his kite up right away.

HAPPY SUMMER!!!

Oh beautiful days

The last few weeks have been full of great fun as usual. We have experience a huge amount of rain, a lot of playing, and spending time with family. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

On mothers day we escaped to Meeteetse to get in a little fishing and see Mom and Dad. We discovered that we have two very enthusiastic fishermen. Jake and Jason didn't want to give in despite the fact they were exhausted. We didn't catch anything, but it was a blast spending time with my men, Mom and Dad and great friends. We even got a ride in Dad's creation, the electric pickup. It is awesome!!!

An owl that we saw while fishing.

Jason will catch something with his Spiderman fishing pole sooner than later.

Jake wouldn't put his fishing pole down. He loves trying to be like his daddy and big brother.

Our fishing crew. Great friends and a well behaved dog herd.

This week we went to story time like we always do, but it was very special. This week we did the Three Little Pigs theme. Some of the kids got to act out the story. Jason was the man with the sticks. Those kids are just cheek pinching cute.

Jason is the man in the hat holding the sticks.

With all of the fun we have had a bump in the road with flu making it's way through our house. It tried to knock us down, but nothing can keep us from having a blast.

Today we were lucky enough to get a chance to participate in Track and Field day with the preschool. It was incredible. The kids had so much fun that nap time was more peaceful than usual. Our boys participated in everything and are true champions. They even have medals. Jason said he is starting a collection of awards. Those boys are so cute that it could just melt your heart. Amazing... that is the only word that even gets close to it.

Jake was excited to ride the scooter.

It is scooter time for Jason.

The fun never ends here. I wish I could show you all of the pictures, but it would take hours to load them. My handsome little boys are always full of surprises. I can't wait to see what we will do next. Enjoy!!!

Enjoying the fun with my little men

The month of April has been wonderful. We have celebrated Jacob's birthday, Jason started soccer, and spring activities are in full swing.

Jason warming up for his first soccer game.

Jason loves to play soccer even though he spends more time dancing and waving when he is on the field than he does actually playing.

Jake cheering on Jason.

The preschool teacher has graciously invited Jake and I to join in on a few field trips and we happily excepted. We went to a sheep ranch to check out the lambs and we had the pleasure of participating in the Mini Relay for Life day.

Jake loves to "jump" on the trampoline although his feet never left it's surface.

Jake with his friends Ellis and Sophia. He loves to play with his friends.

Jason was so excited to release the balloons into the air.

Jason can jump like a pro.

Jason was coloring around one of his friends.

Jakers had to wear Jason's old shirt since it was purple day.

The Kiddie Kollege group!

When we aren't running around chasing the preschool kids we have been swimming and gardening. The boys have really turned into fish and want to go to the pool every day. The water is so warm and I am a true believer in the healing powers of the water.

On the gardening front we are getting more done every day. Some of the early plants are in the ground. Jason insisted we plant strawberries so that is what we did. He checks them every day. In the next few weeks we will be adding many veggies and we will have a lot of flowers around the house.

Spring is truly beautiful and we have been trying to spend as much time enjoying it. I hope all of you are doing well. Happy Spring!!

Jakes b-day party!!

Grandpa Moody gave Jacob a dog that really freaked him out at first but then he fell in love and has slept with it every night since.

Jake's Diego cake.

Jake got a cowboy hat from Grandpa Jay and Grandma Connie so they had to play cowboys.

Playing Cowboys means riding the giant dog like a horse.

Jake blowing out his candles.

Jakes party was a huge success. He had blast playing with his friends, cousins, and participating in all of the standard party events. It was complete with a Go Diego Go! cake and lighening McQueen plates. Colin had to work but we still had fun and took a ton of pics for him. Enjoy the pics!!!!
