oh ya! tys won!

Results are in and tys won the staining contest! Thanks for all of your votes. The prize changed from a Harley to a small cash prize. Haha not enough entries, but will be published in some concrete magazine. Still cool!

Us again...random here and there :)

 These two love waiting for peyt to get home while sitting on the porch.  So do I, but it was cute they were sitting together waiting, but as soon as I grabbed the camera kinlee got up :)

 Kinlee LOVES these swings! Julie bought this swing set while they were still in their old house.  The kids didn't get to use them much since they moved.  I thought we would love nothing more than to buy them from Steve if we had the chance so that they could get the use out of them that Julie ALWAYS wanted. And they have been absolutely perfect.  It makes me so happy that Kinlee asks to swing every day and really makes me smile to have it bring the happiness that's exactly what she would have loved.  It's so neat.

 Even friends come swing with us all the time :)

 This year Tysons dad wanted to do Lagoon passes for the kids. So we thought what the heck, if we only have to buy 2 then lets give a shot for a summer.  It has been great. I have been mostly taking the kids while tys has been so busy catching up on work, thankfully tho, meaning I'm so grateful he is busy with work!  Here is the new jeep ride. No, we do not know the girl riding with drew :)

 Miss Kinlee with Peyt!

 The dragon spinning ride thing. Kinlee LOVED it!

 and my cute boys peeking through!

 Peyt got the MVP at one of his first bball games! He was PUMPED!

 Drew is so generous! I was going out with friends one night and he came and asked if I had money for dinner, then left me some change on the counter and told me to use it if I needed. He said not to worry cause he had more and didn't need this. He is the sweetest.  He is always handing out money. In a way, I hope it never changes!

 Don't even ask, I don't know what happened! ha...she loves making a mess!

 Drew came home today hiding something behind his back! It was this flower for me! and he left a card on my bed!!! Cutest ever! love him! I love mothers day!!!

 How about those soccer shoes?! She didn't care they are 10 sizes too big! :) She wore them and even played some soccer with me and peyt!

 while we were outside playing, I was taking kinlee and peyt for a ride in the wagon. Kinlee started crying and I look at her...she has her hand out the wagon, dragging on the ground!!! Her pinky was rubbed almost to the vein. it was THE saddest! I was freaking out. anyway, while I was cuddling her and rocking her, the boys came in with these drawings for her. They said it was to cheer her up and they hope her finger got better. I love these boys! They are seriously the sweetest and so thoughtful!!! And she smiled, laughed and LOVED it!

 So not gonna lie.  Last week was I think by far my hardest mom/wife week by far.  I don't know why for sure. So much hit me at once and I was overwhelmed. My oh so sweet hubs knew I was wearing out and came home with these and the sweetest card. HE is seriously the best. I'm so thankful for a good hubby that never complains, seriously he doesnt, that always lifts me up, is ALWAYS there for me and wants me to just simply be happy. I love him more than I ever imagined was possible.

 They are lasting so amazingly! How pretty huh?

And this is out of order. The boys had a no electronics challenge so they wanted to do sumo pillow fights kinda like on good luck charlie.  We did it! They LOVED it! it got a little crazy but was seriously hilarious to watch! :)

1...2...3...GO!

Catching up! Yet again...Why do these not post in order? They upload in order so I don't get it. Oh well. :)

 My kinda girl! Lickin' the bowl! YUM!

 She was sporting Drews shoes for a few days! nice...right?!

 and maybe this post should have been called Kinlee...I know! She takes up a lot cuz I'm with her a lot! But this little miss wanted to make something so we shortened up the apron and got to cookin'!

 Drew wanted to go to Wendys with Grandma! So off we went~! FUn as always!

 The other pic to go with this is below. But we had a temple date night with my dad, shan, ryan and amorie. We did sealings, it was so neat to be with them all.  I love going with family! After we went and got some yogurtland! Ryans won for most of whatever, anything...he had quite the mix!

 when we got home that night, Peyts tooth was BARELY hanging on! and out it came!

 tooth #6!!! awesome teeth! Hope they straighten out on their own :)

 and again, she wanted my bracelet and necklace! and was posing away! :)

 She helps herself to what she wants in the pantry, cereal this time, and just chilled on the couch with her cute dog and blanky(which is a pillow case my grandma pickett made me.ha but she loves it's silky feel!)

 Happy Birthday to Carston!

 These cute helpers with way too many clothes!!! I swear it never ends, but thanks boys!!!

 how about some cute hip hoppers! Minus Eli and Sam who couldn't make the pic night! I'm excited to see it all at the end!

 Just chillin, feet up and all!

 Yep a mess, but a good example of looking through the things that don't matter to find the things that DO! My family!

 Drew wanted cinnamon rolls one morning, so we headed to my old time favorite place! Great harvest! I got a carmel pecan one! YUMMY!!!!!! Thanks Drew for letting me enjoy with you! :)

 and yes, I went to great harvest in this. nothing matched, straight outta bed...but it was like 1030 am. It was one of those days that I didn't wanna get ready. ha (I wasn't in bed till 1030. just looked like had rolled out)

 Peyt came home and said his buddies were coming over for the jazz game! ha love it! so they did!

 made signs and all!

 My cute drew! love this boy!

 and this one too! :)

 Kinlee was teasing drew. I thought it was so cute! she kept tickling his neck while he was trying to play the wii!

 We went to lunch with Grandma shannon! which was yummy and so fun. But kinlee was not in a good mood. After lunch, grandma showed up with these at the doorstep just to see kinlee smile! It worked! she loved them!!! Thanks grandma! :)

 Drew got to bring rattles home! he loved it!

 Playing crack the egg! he said rattles was hard to crack!

 She said "mom look!" then lifted her shoulder and was so proud of putting her sunglasses on her head!

 Baseball started! They won their first game 11-5! Yay! :)

 Peyt as catcher! He hit the ball too! but I didn't get a pic of it.

 LOVE this pic and my cute kids! couldn't be happier with them. except when its 9 pm and they won't go to bed, or when they are fighting and crying..or...or...haha jk :) it's all worth it!
