As Good As it Gets

We hadn't tried Sunday Morning pictures in a while, so last Sunday, I thought I would give it a try, and this is as good as it's going to get. 

Boys and their Toys

Yesterday, I took Jason and Jaxon to John Deere to pick-up our new sprayer (and Josh's).  

Jaxon loved riding all the way home on it!! He kept saying "BIG!!!"

I immediately started calling it the "Transformer." I think it looks big and bulky, like a monster. 

And, it is SO big, when the "wings" are all the way out it covers 100 feet of ground!!! And, you just hit a button and it will drive itself!! I think they got that feature for me!! :)

I also called it "my house".  I think this shifted the house plans down on the list for a few years!! :) Oh well!!

I was coming home last night around 9, and I see these big lights, and it is Josh driving the sprayer around.  So Jason and the kids went over to "play" some more with it at 9:30 at night!! 

Boys and their TOYS!! 

But, Jason informed me it is not a toy.

Cause and Effect

Couponing makes me do some 'extreme' things. 

It also causes me some problems. 

For example, my cause and effect:

Because I had a coupon for Suave deodorant, I bought this.  

(Some of you should just be proud I am wearing deodorant.)

Because I have NEVER used Suave deodorant before in my life, I got this horrible rash under my arms that itches like crazy.  

Love it!!

Started painting Jaxon's bed, and I am loving it!! I ordered a wooden spindle off of ebay for the one that was missing.  Should be in this week; may be changing the beds out, as early as next week!!!

Am I ready to "make" Jaxon stay in his new bed???? :)

Just a Swinging!!

Summer is here for the third time now!! But this time, it's real!!

This is were I'll be everyday for the next 80 or so days!! My laundry will pile up, and the dishes will stink, but it's summer time, and my sister said it was okay. 

The kids have been in the swimming pool literally all morning!! Kylee is beyond excited to be with her cousins, and Jaxon doesn't care were he is as long as I'm close by!! :)

I'm Gonna Go Real Far, I'm Gonna Be a SUPERSTAR

My niece graduated from Kindergarten last Thursday.  She is the one on the right with the pink flower in her hair.  The cutest one of all.   Oh sorry.  :)

Here's Mrs. Holik's class. 

They performed 3 or 4 songs.  They were so cute.  One of them Kylee learned and is doing now too.  

But, one of them talked about when I grow up, I started crying.  It made me so sad because I know how fast it's going to go.  

"When I grow up, I'm gonna go real far, I'm gonna be a SUPERSTAR!!"

She received PERFECT Attendance award.  There was only about 6 of them out of the whole grade!!

They had asked each kid what they wanted to be when they grew up, as they were walking across to get their diploma the principal would read it . 

Addi said she wanted to be a mommy.  I was nearly on the floor crying.  How sweet is that.  And what a testament to what kind of mommy she has.  So proud of her!!

It's really been on my heart about the "day and age" our kids are growing up in, and especially with all this homosexuality stuff in the news. I think it's awesome that Addisyn wants to be a mommy, and see's the kind of "home" that is right. I pray the Lord to protect our children from the workings of evil.

 Way to go Addisyn!! 

Kylee and I put together a little goodie bag for her with a journal, a shirt, a soda pop, and some Halfmann's Kelly Green Cookies!! Yummy!! 

Can't wait to celebrate next year with Karter, and see what's in store for Addi!!  Love them!!

Our Dancing Queen

Kylee finished Dance Class on Wednesday with a Dance Recital. 

All the girls looked so cute in their leotards. 

We've had to struggle a little the past month to "want" to go to Dance.  One morning she just told that she really doesn't like doing the "squats".  Which are really called "plie", and look like this.  :)

She can do the plie good, and walking on her toes.  She has trouble with a few of the other skills (can't remember the names), but it was her first time to try dance; I think she did good.  

Their teacher gave them each a crown and a flower.  So sweet!!

Aunt Bri came to watch her, and then we got to have snacks and drinks.  Yummy!!
