Memorial Day

We spent Memorial Day at Hawaiian Falls.  My favorite was the lazy river - which turned out to be packed with teenagers, and not so lazy, but still enjoyable!  The boys had a great time riding the slides and playing in the water.

Buzz

Growing up I could always tell when summer was near because the Brande boys would be sporting a freshly shaved buzz.  The Brande boys are the little brothers of one of my closest friends I've had since I was 12.  

So when Griff started to have to tilt his head up to see through his hair, and I started to ask myself if maybe this was neglect on my part...  I decided to honor the Brande boys and go for the BUZZ!

Western Day

I'm a lucky girl... I get to live with the cutest cowboy in Texas!  A couple of weeks ago Madd's school celebrated Western Day.  According to Maddox, real cowboys have a rope.  We made a trip to Lowe's and both the boys selected their own ropes, under the condition that they not tie each other up!  I'm keeping my eye on them!

THREE!

I can't believe Griffy is three!  We celebrated Griffy's birthday on Monday the 19th.  We had dinner at his favorite place - McDonalds.  Then headed home to  presents and the much requested "Thomas" cake.  Ever since Griffin saw the Thomas cake while helping to select my Mother's Day cake, it has been a daily topic of conversation at our house.  The only down side to the Thomas cake, the smallest size was a 1/4 sheet, a little big for a family of 4, so mommy had to take it out to the dumpster a couple of days later, to keep from eating the entire 1/4 sheet cake!

Happy Birthday Griff!  We love you!

Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful mother's day!  I am so grateful for my mom!  I always hope that I'll be even half the mother she is!  I love you mom!  

I was spoiled by my boys.  After a surprise trip to the spa, I came home to flowers, balloons, and cake.

Griffy kept wishing me "Happy Birthday"

We finally convinced Griff it was Mother's Day.

Wyatt Wolves

Maddox played his last soccer game of the season on Saturday.   Madd can't wait until next Fall, so we can play again.  As much fun as I had playing coach to the cutest group of 5 year olds,  I am grateful that my coaching gig has come to an end.  I'm hanging up my whistle, and keeping my fingers crossed that I never have to use it again!
