My boys love to be outside and they have started eating lunch and snacks in their playhouse. I made them a picnic and let them eat with toothpicks. They thought that was so fun!

We had a great Memorial Day. Sheldon took the big boys hunting and fishing.
They went out to shoot coyotes and Max was in charge of using the call to call them in.
Sheldon said he did great!
 After shooting, they went fishing and both boys caught a fish. Talk about a great day!


After lunch and naps, we had friends over for a Memorial Day dinner. It was fun and we all stayed up too late. I am glad to be relaxing today!

Today we are remembering all of those that have sacrificed their lives and all of their loved ones who will never be the same.

 
Today we are also thankful that our loved one came home.



Have a great Memorial Day!

I am always looking for new activities to keep the boys entertained. I have been needing to clean the baseboards and have not gotten around to it yet, so I gave the boys rags to use to help me. Crocker did not do so hot. He got bored with it after about 2 minutes. Max did so great. He told me he was having fun and he ended up washing all of the baseboards in our upstairs. I was so proud of him and he earned a sucker for all of his hard work.

A few weekends ago, we were in Oklahoma City and decided to go to the zoo. The boys were thrilled and we had the best time! The boys loved running and looking at all the animals.


Crocker had to sit in time out while we were feeding Eli and he could have cared less. Sheldon and I laughed so hard when he turned to face us with his spit bubbles hanging out of his mouth.


This monkey came to the window and shaded himself so he could see inside where we were.


We had such a good time and it really made me miss living near a zoo!

I had a really great Mother's Day. I am so blessed to have 3 boys and a wonderful husband who love me.
We got up, got ready, and went to church.
My boys looked so cute in their outfits. 


My loves and I before church.



 The boys made me cards at church and they turned out so cute!

After naps, I was spoiled with flowers inside and out and dinner cooked on the grill. Sheldon grilled ribs, corn, and asparagus and it was so good!

 
 

I had a great day and could not have asked for anything better!

While we were in Kansas, Max and Crocker got to ride on a school bus. It was such a fun time and they both loved it!

 

After the bus ride, they got in some quality time with their cousins. This included using them as jungle gyms!

 

 Eli was not too far from the action.

 

Sheldon took the boys to the Indian Cave that is down the road. Max got scared and caught a ride with his uncle who was coming down the road. Crocker loved it and was happy to pose for pictures!
 

Gpa and Gma have a lot of sand rock around their house. It makes a big sandbox. They boys played and played in it. They really liked to make sand angels. This definitely cured me of thinking we needed a sandbox. I would go crazy with all the mess it would make!

We had such a good time and cannot wait to go back!

Last week, we went up to Kansas for a few days. We were excited to go and see Gma and Gpa and they were equally excited to meet Eli.

 

We had a belated bday party for Sheldon while we were there and we all know Max and Crocker love a good party. They were thrilled to eat cake and celebrate!



We just hung out the rest of the day. The next morning, we got ready and went to the cemetery. Max is old enough to "get it" and has been praying for "his daddy's mom, brother, and Mr. Guy to come back to life".

 

We also went to see some rocks. The boys loved climbing on them and had such a good time.



While Crocker was napping, Max got to go ride on a tractor. He thought he was big stuff and is such a country boy at heart.
