Hey mom....

Tonight as I was reading a book to Prestyn & Cayden before bed,

Prestyn interrupted me and said "Hey mom"

Me: "yes"

Prestyn: "hey mom" (i thought this would continue ~ as it normally does ~ so I ignored him)

Prestyn: "hey mom, you know what i think we should do tomorrow?"

Me: (a little shocked by the BIG sentance coming from my 2 year olds mouth) "what?"

Prestyn: "I should go to cool (school) too"

Me: (still shocked by his sentance & a little saddened by the fact that he wants to go to school) "I think we should just go to story hour tomorrow at the library ~ do you think that would be fun?"

Prestyn: "yeah"

~ where did my baby go?~

~I can't believe the things that he says & how big he is getting~

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY!

Eagles bottie!

My sweet little Eagles fan...he's so cute!Prestyn after eating sand and having a bucket of it dumped on his head...

couldn't possibly have been big brother Cayden...

no way, no how.

My goofy baby!

You can't tell me this isn't adorable!!

Tonight's Fun!

We had a fun evening tonight. After dinner we took a little walk & of course ended up at the church playground. Cayden ALWAYS wants to go there and swing and go on the slide. Prestyn has been LOVING the swing too. So tonight I was prepaired for it & brought my camera along. Here they are:

Today's project

Well, today was a cool, kinda dreary day. So to start the day off I made a batch of homemade buns. :) YUM! Came out with 4 dozen, so our freezer is good & stocked up for grilling season! I love me a homemade burger on a homemade bun! mmmm, scrump-diddly-umptious!!!

Then my creative juices started flowing and I made this for Prestyn's room:




I love how it turned out & now need to make one for Cayden, need to buy more paper first...I think I hear Hobby Lobby calling my name!

Funny poses!! teehee

Oh my, Cayden is a GOOBER. I tried taking a self portrait today of me with the boys. Well for some reason Cayden thinks its funny to stick his tongue out or throw gang signs all the time. Wonder where he gets that from!?!? Anyways - these are too funny I just HAD to share!

Some outdoor fun

We played outside a little bit the other afernoon! It feels so good to finally get outside & get fresh air. Here's Cayden giving "Jeff" a ride (formerly known as poop-tail)

Momma with her little men:

the whole fam

"UGH, breakfast tasted kinda funny"

Good Friday

Today we dyed Easter Eggs with the boys - well - at least with Cayden. Prestyn ended up napping through most of it! This was our first run at dying Easter Eggs and we had alot of fun.


Cayden loved coloring on the eggs, check out the concentration:


THIS IS FUN!!!

Uh-oh Mom - look at my fingers...can you wash them please?

And our finished eggs (one broke in the mix)


After we finished dying the eggs I took Cayden to an Easter Egg hunt at the senior center, while Justyn stayed home with Prestyn (napping again). We ran into a bunch of friends at the egg hunt. Here's my big boy waiting patiently for them to tell him to go searching:

They had so many kids there - they had a limit of 3 per kid -here's his loot:

Eating some chocolate:

And checking out the birds:

Headed back home and ALL SMILES:

A few pics of Prestyn too - since he missed out on the action:

HE DID IT AGAIN!

Prestyn slept through the night again! Actually he's still sleeping!! YAY! I can't remember the last time I woke up before him! :) LOVE IT!

We're gonna go to our friend Teryn's house for coffee this morning. Cayden loves playing with Isabelle, so I'm sure they'll have fun! :)

The rest of the day I need to spend getting stuff organized around here & start getting my packing started for Vegas. Usually I would have packed & repacked about 5 times by now, but I'm just not too worried about it all. Just excited and counting down until we get to be there. I'm ready for warm weather & sunshine, and a FUN FUN time!

Thinking of all your Lustre-ites as Schmeckfest happens tonight. Wishing we could be there to enjoy it all with you! Praying everything goes smoothly & safely! Can't wait to hear all about it. SOMEBODY has to eat some verenika for me!!! (and take a picture) teehee

Okay, off to feed the babe!

Lazy day, more wind & a little snow

PRESTYN SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! whoohoo! I'm so cheesed! I'm praying he does it again tonight & on & on & on! It was amazing.

We just had a relaxing day today, got stocked up on some groceries, finished signing our papers for our will, and I did some cleaning. Not too much else. Prestyn pulled up to his knees at his bookshelf today...I'll have to upload the picture to share later!

I've got a bunch of stuff to get done tonight, like printing our tickets to VEGAS!!!! YAY! 90 hours and 41 minutest until we fly out of Bizzo! :) YAY!! I can't wait to be in 70-80 degree weather. Actually, scratch that, I'd be okay with 55-60, as long as the sun is shining.

So off I go, gotta get some stuff done!

More pictures, SNOW SNOW SNOW

WOW! I can't believe the ammount of snow we woke up to this morning & continued to get throughout the day. As of right now we've gotten about a foot of snow, but where it was blowing & drifting it was probably about 4 feet high. Next to the house in the backyard the snow is about up to Justyn's eye level.

Justyn went out to shovel this afternoon to try to get the pickup out to take Alicia & family home, we had heard the other roads were back open & he thought if he could get out of our driveway we could get her home. This picture shows him resting the shovel on the TOP of the snowdrift, CRAZY HUGE SNOWDRIFT!

We shovelled & shovelled and GOT STUCK IN THE STREET. It was about 2-3 feet deep. So we shovelled back out & drove back up into the driveway.
Look at my handsome hubby - still smiling after all this snow, and shovelling:

and me, down in the snow on the street that we just dug out of:

Here's a neighbor snowblowing his driveway, I can't believe this snow...still amazing me.

We had decided to not even try to get out (we don't have a snowblower & there was just too much snow in the street) and were about to sit down to dinner when our awesome neighbors came over with their 4-wheeler & shovels & started shovelling our driveway! :) So Justyn bundled back up & went out again! Thank God for awesome neighbors! They've been doing this all winter long. Looks like I need to do a MAJOR baking session & bring the neighbors some goodies!!
Justyn managed to get the pickup out & get Alicia & family back home! We've just been relaxing tonight, and actually lost power for about 20 minutes, but all is well!!
YEESH, what a bunch of crazy weather.

Okay, so a bonus pic for you all! Prestyn's latest trick, he just did this today:

Spring has sprung!!

Oh how I am loving this beautiful spring weather, I just hope its here to stay. The sun was out yesterday, hardly any wind and it was just too beautiful to NOT go for a walk. So I loaded up the boys and we took off on a hike!
Prestyn wasn't too sure of having to sit in the "baby" carrier, he prefers the stroller itself, but I knew the sun would bother him, so he was stuck:


Cayden was ready to go "hurry up mom, and quit taking our picture!":


And the boys while we were on our walk:


Somehow we always manage to find the ONE water puddle...but such is life with boys right? I guess I don't so much mind that though since they slept fabulously last night. Praise the Lord for spring weather and healthy kids.
