the big weekend…

March 25, 2014cousins

we did it!  granny and i had been preparing for this busy weekend for a while.  with the help of daddy we did it! jack you were in heaven for  f o u r  whole days.  you had joshua, the outdoors and the wii all to yourself.  we created great memories this weekend amongst the hustle and bustle of it all.

DSC_0046jack, you and joshua were so much fun to watch.  you did pretty well taking turns with things.  you try so hard to be just as big as him.  you also let sam know he is to little for a lot of things.

DSC_0059samuel, i think you found your hero this weekend.  i had been wondering when you would take notice of the cooler older cousin.  you would run up and just stare at joey.  it was so funny to watch you with him.  you were really watching everything thing he did!

you also couldn’t wait to get your hands on the four wheeler also known as the “joe.”   if no one was on it, you ran as fast as you could over to crawl up on it.

flair affair was a hit!  we were so thrilled with how it turned out.  there were so many other beautiful and creative tables i had to get pictures of!   erika had an amazing performance as well!  so much fun to end our crazy weekend!

rodeo round #2

March 25, 2014kids

 we looked forward to this rodeo trip for a while…  the day we got to be with friends and see all the “aminals.”   we didn’t get the memo all the children of the city would be there as well.  us mama’s feel we could survive anything after surviving this rodeo trip!  it was such a crowded day, but we made the very best of it and some of our very best memories!

DSC_0700we started a tour with our group and after two exhibits we realized it was just too fast and too crowded for the little eyes and feet we had with us.  we ended up doing our own thing at our own pace and had a really great time.

DSC_0736the petting zoo wasn’t what we thought it would be.  after a very long line to wait our turn.  the oldest two of our adorable bunch became the llama’s favorites… the were traumatized to say the least and were ready to get out of that pen!

boys and their dog…

March 25, 2014kids

she can be annoying and cute all at the same time…

DSC_0639that’s your dog! oh samuel your best friend for sure right now is your dog.  you like her so much even jack is starting to come around to her again…

DSC_0647
no matter what this crazy weather is doing, you want to be out there to see her and tell her “hiya!”

DSC_0648
it’s been a crazy spring so far.  a few beautiful days and then the cold came again and spread that yellow pollen everywhere!  samuel you wanted to go outside so bad today but i just couldn’t do it.  that chalky yellow stuff has my head hurting and your nose running like crazy!  hoping we can clean it off and have a fun day outside again!

DSC_0689after all, your doggy is missing you!!
