look MOM!

So I was cleaning like crazy last Monday for some people to come and look at our house. by the end of the day I was almost done and had sent the boys outside so I could finish the floor with no one on it. then David comes home and calls me outside and tells me to take a look in the flower beds the boys had planted some flowers for me! I had just spent some time planting some flowers and weeding to make it look good and now the boys had dug in IT! my first reaction was "are you kidding can't they stay out of stuff!" but when I came out I had two little boys looking up smiling saying " momma look at the pretty flowers we picked, we didn't want them to die so we put them with your other flowers!" so the irritated feeling disappeared and I just had to laugh and know that they had a sweet thought, BUT next time you will ask right BOYS?!

Memorial Day trip

We had a memorable Memorial Day weekend at Great-Grandma's farm in Milton-Freewater. This was Isabel's first time there and we all had a good trip. we went with my mom and dad, who also brought my 2 nieces Jaime Lynn and Bri Ella. My sister and her family came as well.

Planting the fields

we went out to Farm Grandpa's and helped him and Grandma plant. we had a good time and got some work done with them. the boys found a frog and were loving being a part of the work too.

Here is how I found Isabel the other day. she was in a basket of books with her Lamb, reading. so sweet!

My girl

here are a few fun things Isabel is up to!

Flowers are her favorite thing! this is her learning to smell not touch! (she blows)
she loves books, she snuggled up to Aunt Regina.

her first pretty toes!

Violin Recital

Colton and Rhett had their Suzuki Book 1 recital this last Saturday. they were so cute and had a great time. here are some pictures to mark the day. There are 16 songs in book one and Rhett knows them all and Colton got to play 11 of the 16 (he has only been playing 10 months). they both did a great job! This is their teacher Mrs. Cassella
Them in the group

the day

he is singing Happy Birthday to YOU! He loved traditional birthday breakfast!

he finally figured out how to hold up three fingers
he loved his Gluten Free cake and even pick out from his own car's which one's where cool enough to be on his cake.

this was him trying to figure out how to put up just three. it takes much more coordination than just two fingers. it turned out looking like "rock on!".

we had a low key day with a small BBQ and cake for him with David's family. he was so happy to know that I made him a cake that wouldn't hurt his tummy. love you little man and know food goes a mile with boys. I will do my best to make you treats and things to make you feel special and loved!

Oh and my favorite thing Clay said of the day was when I asked him what he would like on his Hot Dog? Clay says "UMMM I would like some WHIP CREAM!"
