Music in the Park July 1st

We went to have school lunch at the park with the Saunders. They had lots of fun activities planned that week so we got lucky that we happened to go there! They helped the kids make comb kazoos, bell bracelets & one other made out of a cup...not quite sure what it was. They also had drums for the kids to play on. Here are the kids jammin' at the park!!!

We went camping...had a superb time =)

Went crazy today cause the kids are really whiny...had a superb time =)
Had 4 extra kids at my house, occasionally driving me & each other a little crazy...had a superb time =)

Life's been good. I would post more & be a bit more detailed, but you should be grateful you got that much out of me...LOVE YA!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!

It has been a lovely Mother's Day!

I got breakfast in bed (pancakes, bacon & sausage, & milk). Isabelle gave me a couple of poems and Ben made me a calendar with his finger/hand prints. Matt bought me a mop...cheap you might say, but I REQUESTED it! He asked me what I wanted and I told him (good man!). We are on a budget & as of right now, I have no serious wants...lucky guy =)!!!

Here are the kids doing dishes....HOORAY!!!!

Matt grilled steaks, with sauteed mushrooms & onions, corn on the cob, and baked potatoe....yummm...this is what heaven truly looks like!

Isabelle & Ben with me & our yummy dinner (I got to eat off of the special occasion plate too!)

We made homemade ice cream in bags. It was cold but SO fun! Matt didn't like it too well...I don't think it was creamy enough for him (we used skim milk). But I LOVE ice milk so it was divine!

Isabelle & Matt with their ice cream!

Me & Ben with our ice cream!

It was a super delightful day! I have been pampered and have been given a lot of love =)

Today the primary sang "Love is Spoken Here" in sacrament meeting. It turned out AMAZING! I was SO proud of those kids! All that hard work totally paid off =)

Happy Mother's Day to all you mother's out there!!!!

The Zoo!

Here are the adventures of Matt and Isabelle at the Hogle Zoo, May 4th, Kindergarten Field trip. This is my absolute favorite picture they took. They are on the zoo playground.

Here is Isabelle and Matt's other charge Kayla Loomis. Here they are visiting the tigers...real and fake =)

Giraffe's!!!!

On the playground again. LOOK! There are sitting on Aragog!!!

Turtle Isabelle!

Cave dwellers Isabelle and Kayla.

Posing with big elephant. It makes noise and squirts water.

Gorilla Isabelle!

They had SO much fun!

Isabelle's favorite part was looking at the rhino's with the birds on their backs!
Her whole class wore red tie dyed shirts so they wouldn't get lost. Too cute!

Makeup Post #1 Dr. Suess's almost birthday

Yeah I know I should fix the picture and rotate it. But I am lazy right now and it is just easier on me if you tilt your head =) Thanks!Ben celebrated Dr. Suess's almost birthday at circle time on February 18th. It was alot of fun and they got to play in "Oobleck"!!!!
Ben LOVED it. And yes I dug in too. The other moms would touch it but that's it. It's just cornstarch, water, and food coloring...but oh so fun!

So Bad!

So whenever I take a picture I use my camera because I don't have a regular camera. Then I straight way text it to my e-mail. Well I was just looking through my e-mail.....YIKES!!!! There are so many pictures. So that means so many blog posts left undone...whoops! So I am going to try to catch up. We'll see how that goes!

I'm green....with envy

So Matt went with Isabelle to her end of the year fieldtrip to the Hogle zoo. I am seriously green-eyed today. Although I am seriously excited for them too. Sigh....
Hopefully he will take lots of pictures and I will post them all for you. Then we can all live the adventure through pictures together =)
