Pizza Pizza

  The kids love to make pizza and on this fine evening we were um, well lacking on toppings.
Truth be told I prefer cheese pizza, but the incredible mom I am I say "how bout you guys pick whatever toppings you want." They Did.

The creator  &  Chef

I agree, it does vaguely resemble fake vomit.

corn and pickle pizza pie Anyone?

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

I don't know how he does it...but he does.

His alarm(s) ring at 3:15 a.m for work & yet he comes home full of energy to play with the kids.

 He involves them & puts them to work along side him.

He's, loving, kind, honest, respectful, patient and a good example.

I can only hope my boys will grow up to be like him, and Canyon will find someone like him.

And these are the reasons why HE is the #1 dad.

Happy Fathers Day Ry, we love you

Farmer Garys

:Warning picture overload:

 A trip to Farmer Garys included- Grandma Coco, Grandpa Mark, chickens, bunnies, goats, fish, the kids, myself & of course Farmer Gary.

                                         

did you know rabbits can have babies every 3 months.

The sweetest goat ever.

Lincoln wasn't a fan of her

But he loved feeding the chickens.

The kids herding the goats back

farmer Gary said Porter was a natural tractor driver

Canyon loved driving

She even gave grandpa a ride!

guess what the first thing Lincoln did,  yup threw rocks.

his pond has trout.

"the kids"

hahaha get it

The breakfast of champions

Brooke went to DisneyLand and brought the kids back this huge sucker.  I hid it up on a shelf in hopes in never having to set eyes on it again.

I obviously need to stop setting my hopes so high.

Shortly after the amusing pictures the fighting insued.

step #1: break sucker into pieces and divide among the kids...wrong... these sucker pieces were comparable to shards of glass.

Step#2: set kitchen timer and pass the slimy germ infested $5.00 disneyland sucker every 3 minutes...it worked!

Step #3: ending as quietly as it began, I spot nasty sucker on my living room carpet and throw away without even being noticed. 

Dear mom & mother in law, the kids were fed a healthly bowl of Kix (kid tested mother approved)

THANK YOU BEST FRIEND BROOKE

preschool Graduation

   The morning started out a little rough, complete with an emergency bath and removal of pink bubblicious from Canyons hair.  We persevered and made it to the library for Canyons Preschool Graduation and she did FABULOUS.

         Way to go Canyon, you have learned so much this year.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

Apparently the fresh new gallon of milk was heavier then he expected.

Take It From Me

 Those of you who know me, know I am cheap, frugal, thrifty, a bargaineer and a sales rack frequent-tor.  That is why i'm blogging about this site Take It From Me.
It's a blog only about reviews and give aways. well that's what i'm talkin about people. go check it out.

KINDY 500

  For school Porter had the Kindy 500.  He had to make a car to drive on his road trip to see different states and landmarks.  Upon arrival the kids sang some songs (America & grand old flag) and then did a parade for the parents.
  Some of these cars were very impressive with working wheels, lights & radios to which I assume the kids did more of the watching then the actual making. I admit it is hard to let the kid take over the project when you have a certain idea in your head. (maybe I really just have a jealousy issue)

Rag Curlz?

  Do you remember rag curlz?  You take a rag and rip it into strips. Next take the end of wet hair and roll it up with the strip and secure it with a knot. Pretty much the same idea as a normal curler.

  Well, I was missing my curly Canyon and decided to try this out on her.  She was surprisingly willing and sat on my bed while I cut strips and rolled up her hair, except I cut up a wal-mart sack. she even went to bed with them complaint free.

  The sun came up, the clock turned to 8:00 and in walked Canyon.  I was excited and grabbed the scissors instead of the usual "5 more minutes, just 5 more minutes"

                      

                            Before:

After:

Ummm yaaa, not the results I was hoping for.
At least I tried & shoot it was kinda fun.  definately won't be trying this again any time soon.

Fun in the sun

We found a window of sunshine & decided we better enjoy it while it's here.
               
                                                         
                                                       his ears make me smile

Hope your day was as sunny as ours.

cLaSsIc FuN cEnTeR

 My work party was at Classic Fun Center and let me tell you, the kids had been counting down the days.  They love this place! frankly it wears me out, but the sweaty heads, dirty feet & the uncontrollable laughter make it worth it.

                                                        

this picture is titled "snot and a scooter"

unfortunately, the tokens were free as well.

This is how you got to the top!!!  that kid at the bottom is Canyon & she pretty much ran up that thing slid down the slide & back up before I even got to the top. (come on i'm almost 30 plus I had Lincoln in one arm.)

This is P's, I made it to the top pose!!!

about 30 seconds later, a kid knocked him off. No worries he was back on in no time.

After a long scrub down & extra soap the kids went right to bed.
