Happy Mom Day!

Happy Mom Day!!  What a great day with the kids.  And I love hanging out with my boys! 

And one more!

 

Life...

April is just about over!!  Wahoo!!  Mom's work life got crazy and Dad's as well.  But...we are plugging away!!  Ryder got tubes today and I think he can already hear better!  Started on the deck...can't wait for that to be done...so needed!  Our house is ready for school to be done for the year.  It's been a long year for a lot of folks.  Summer focus...time with family!  I have to use some vacation or I will lose it...so going to take some days here and there!  Want to start a gratitude journal to help me keep focused on what I should do and not get bogged down in the crazy of day to day! 

Just because flowers :)

After tubes!

Busy playing!

Parker brought out the farm set.  He decided the animals were hungry...so he fed them his supper.  Each animal had their own "pile" of food!

Ryder is hilarious!

We love the Pete the Cat books!  This author has started a new series called The Nuts.  Ryder asked me tonight to read The Penis book.  Umm...no?!?!?  Boylife!!!

Testing from the phone!!

Downloaded the app since I take so many pictures with my phone!  Here's hoping it works!!

Happy Birthday to the best daddy and husband around!!! 

2 months...

Well...2 months flew by!  Kids are busy, mom and dad are busy.  Life is good  :)  We have had some tough personal loss in the last couple of months and are hoping for better, more positive news from loved ones!!!!  Noah is soaring through kindergarten, Ryder is LOVING daycare and is signed up for 2 morning a week of preschool, Parker is a talking machine (and sassy at that).  We finished swimming lessons (Parker did Parent/Child but those pics must still be on my phone).  Busy busy busy!

2016!

Well...the last 6 months have been CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!  Regular schedules have not happened and I feel like I have to start keeping track of thing better because time flies so fast! 

Christmas 2015--Christmas program--Noah as a wiseman, Ryder an angel and Parker a sheep.  Noah had a line--I bring you gold!  Ryder had a line--And on earth peace.  Parker...a great wandering sheep!  Christmas Eve was a day spent using the iPad for the Santa Tracker apps.  Christmas Eve church service and our tradition of reading, "The Night Before Christmas," watching the Polar Express adn matching Christmas pj's for the boys.  Noah woke up at 6:15 and came running into our room, "Santa was here!!"  Great day!  Christmas with the Rokes Christmas night; Christmas with Conklin side on the 26th--we had special guests Santa and Mrs. Claus!  VERY cool!!; Christmas with the Connolly side on the 27th in the morning and night.  Super great weekend. A HUGE snowstorm on the 28th meant we were stuck at home until the 30th.  It was a great break.  Scott unpacked a ton and we reorganized a lot.  Settled in our new room and bring on 2016!
