Gage the fix-it man




I had to run and get my camera when I saw Gage reading off instructions to Josh about how to fix the toilet. He was studying that paper like he knew exactly what it said. At one point he said to Josh "Dad, it says that the toilet is not suppose to leak not even one bit" LOL
He was rattling off all sorts of things he want Josh to do. It was so cute!!

Happy Birthday Des!!

Today is my oldest sister's Birthday! All us girls got to go to lunch with her today. My mom surprised Desiree by decorating the back room at Fredrico's pizza with streamers & balloons.
Des standing with her cake and decorations

This is Desiree's reaction to her little Birthday room



Just thought I would show off some cute pictures of Desiree from 100 years ago!!! LOL
She really was one of the cutest little girls I've ever seen. I must say, her little Avery has got her eyes!!


Those are called Cloth diapers, have you heard of them before???




Des is the very best est mom I have ever met. Her children should know how very lucky they are to have her. She is amazing at everything she does.....REALLY-- you name it and she is probably a pro, if not she is learning how to do as we speak! (cooking, painting, crafts of all sorts, knitting, cleaning, fixing stuff, schooling...just to name a few) She always gets mad when I say that she is the perfect mom, but I really do feel that way. The world would be a much better place if we could all follow her example.....and we would all have much better children as well. Happy, Happy Birthday day~ We all love you!

Gavin's Birthday at boondocks

Gavin turns 4!!! So big!!!
This little guy is on of the toughest kids I know, and we were so excited to be able to celebrate his 4th birthday with him. Gavin has been though more in his 4 years then most people do in their entire life. Gavin has won the battle of cancer and numerous surgeries. He is the cutest little spirit you'll ever meet! Happy Birthday Gavin!~
Who's kid is that??? Pretty sure he was raised in a barn!!

My 'home boy' Jace!! LOL


Clay making the most out of the birthday party experience!




Clay and Gage adore Gavin!!




Boondocks puts the Fun Park's soft play to shame!




Clay wouldn't leave Gavin's side in the soft area. He played with him the entire time. What a sweet kid!!!






Best part of having a birthday party....the mom's get to get caught up on all the latest Gossip..JK
But really it's was fun to hang out with some good friends while the kids played!








The boys and their friends Kaden and Carson getting ready and super excited to do some 'NASCAR' racing with the go-carts!








Look how excited they all are!!









As you can see, Jace takes his race very seriously!! Completely focused on winning the race!LOL








Gage ~ not quite as serious! But has absolutely no fear with speed!











And the race is on.....looks like Gage is taking the lead, Clay is tied with some girl close behind!












Jace relaxing a bit!













Gage and Clay..looks like Clay pulled ahead of the girl!















Clay just can't hold back his excitement!















Our little Carson friend~ his first smile of the race, he was super nervous and very caution of all the other drivers. He was so funny to watch. He is for sure his mother's child! LOL















Clay~ making sure I see him for the 100th time!!

















At this point...Gavin is so done with having his picture taken!!


















Me with my very good friends Jessica and Daci!!

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday today, the kids got to dress up as their favorite book character for school...NO...thing 1 and thing 2 are not favorites but it was fun and cheap for us. Plus it was all we could come up with last minute. One of Jace's favorite books is Captain Underpants, and I tried so hard to get him to dress up like him, with clothes underneath of course. But he chickened out at the last minute and did the same thing as his brothers. Oh well....I think they look really cute and they loved the blue hair! PS~ Not sure if the blue coloring is a wash out or not, so they might have this look for awhile! LOL

Families that Play together, stay together

My sweetheart Josh went out and bought me a whole new snowboarding get up. I've needed a new coat for years and boy did he come through! He got me pants, a coat, goggles and a helmet that all match perfectly. Now I feel like a cute little snow bunny! Josh bought all the boys helmets too. Josh is very much a safety freak to say the least and he wasn't going to let any of us go snowboarding one more time without helmets. It's a good thing too. Gage and Clay both hit their heads off the lift and I did a major crash where I slammed my head off the ground. Good thing we have Josh to look after us!!!
Jace heading for a jump..I took the picture too soon

Clay falling and smiling at the same time

Eeeekkkkk! Should I be nervous about this crazy boy Jace?
