Baseball Game!

My Aunt Linda's boyfriend, Ken, gave us tickets to the Roughriders game! THANK YOU KEN!!!! So we took the boys over on Wednesday, and they had so much fun. All Levi could talk about was wanting to get out there and play with them though. haha I also took him to the gift shop and let him pick out a new "roughriders" shirt, because the one he was wearing was almost to small, so it needs to be handed down to Seth. Levi and Seth ate hot-dogs and ice cream, and had themselves a Wonderful time! They even stayed awake the whole way home! I think we finally got them in bed around 11:30 or 12. haha They were just too wound up to think about sleeping.

We also got the pool set up for them again. Finally. Toby got in it and started swimming while it was filling up, and snapped a few holes in the top ring. So Stephen had to cover them with tape, while I got some patches. Luckily we got it all fixed late yesterday afternoon, and it was up and ready to go. The kids were in it most of the day yesterday, even though it was really cold! They didn't care, they were just so thrilled to be swimming again.

Levi was SO happy, and EXCITED to be at the baseball game!!!!!

Seth slept the whole way to the ballpark, so he wasn't in a very "chipper" mood at first! haha

Levi and Seth, goofing off.

Mommy and Seth.

I'm not sure why Seth is hiding his eyes! haha He was probably playing

Levi's favorite "rough rider" "DEUCE!"

They told us to stand up, because we were going to stretch....and ended up making us dance the "YMCA". haha Levi LOVED it!

Daddy and Levi dancing to the "YMCA" song.

Seth made a new friend with the woman sitting in front of us! haha

Levi took a picture of me watching the game.

Mommy and Daddy, again....

We got the pool set up for the boys, finally. Even after Toby got ahold of it and chewed a few holes in the top ring (which we had to patch)...but hopefully it will last us another year.

Isn't he cute! haha

Happy Birthday!!!!

Saturday we celebrated my Mother's Birthday. It was a wonderful day! I knew I couldn't "surprise" her with the party. She is a see's all, know's all, kind of Mother and there was no way to get her there without her putting 2 and 2 together and getting 4! Afterall she is a CPA! haha

So we threw her the party and told her about it...what I didn't tell her was who all was invited. She thought it was just going to be a "small" family get together. But I invited some of her best friends that she used to work with before she moved (and hasn't seen in years!), and two of my friends that my mother practically raised when we were all teenagers (she hasn't seen them in years either)! So luckily Mom had no clue they were even invited, or coming to the party. When they showed up, talk about surprised!!!! You could tell by the look on her face, that she did not have any idea they were coming. She was so happy, and so surprised!!! It was a priceless moment.

I wish I had taken more pictures!!! I didn't get any pictures of Mom with her Mom and Dad! Nanny and Pa were there, and I wish we had got a picture of them with Mom and Aunt Linda, all together....

It was a great day! After lunch, the boys helped Nana blow out her candles and then ate cake. Then Mom opened her presents and cards. After that, I had to take the boys outside so they could swim in the pool. They couldn't wait! They had so much fun, and totally wore themselves out. After all of that fun in the sun, they had to come in and eat more cake! haha Then we came back home and they slept the whole way! Talk about a nice, quiet trip! haha

It turned out to be a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Mom! We Love You!!!!

Mom, opening her birthday presents and having a wonderful time! Happy Birthday Mom!!!

The birthday girl, with her friend Gladys. Aren't they adorable! It was so great to see everyone again!!!!

My niece Haylee....wishing for lunch to hurry up, so she can go swimming in the pool.

Levi took this one of my cousin Taran...looking cute as always!

Levi was having a blast, running in circles, taking pictures of everyone in the house.

Levi took a picture of his Daddy and Brother, relaxing and enjoying the day.

Levi took this picture of me and my cousin Taran.

Levi was a busy little bee, taking pictures. He actually was doing pretty good! I let him use the digital camera, so I could delete the pictures of peoples feet, and the back of the chairs! haha

Levi taking more pictures of my Mom and her friend Gladys.

Levi taking a picture of my cousin Taran. He is actually getting fairly good with the camera.

They were so ready to blow out the candles, but they had to wait for me to get the other camera....

The boys just love birthday candles! They are like Moth's to a flame! haha

Levi and Seth had to help their Nana blow out her birthday candles.

Was Seth eating cake????? haha

My Daddy and Kimberly. She was my best friend when we were teenagers. We were inseparable! We lost touch over the years, but I tracked her down and Thankfully she was able to come to the party. It was great to see her again. I just wish we would have had more time to visit.

he was so worn out, he slept the whole way home.

After a fun filled day, the boys crashed as soon as we got in the car....talk about a nice quiet trip! :)

my cute little cowboy!

Levi is telling his Daddy to defend himself! haha

Here it is "after"...of course our water-hose is out but the grass is looking great, and really made it look so much better back here. Levi and his Daddy are sword fighting! At Midieval Times, Levi wanted nothing to do with swords and told the "KING" that he didn't like fighting with swords...but after seeing the show he had to have one, so we got 2 wooden swords and that is all he ever wants to do! haha

remember our "before" of our MUD...haha Well, we had already laid a few bricks for our path....but you get the idea.....

Seth had to try to take a picture of Mommy, since I was taking his picture...haha

here's the other one of him in his crown....

We took the boys to Midieval Times and they LOVED it! Here are a few pictures I took of Seth in his crown. Isn't he a cutie pie!

Mother's Day was Wonderful!

Mother's Day started off with the boys fighting...and I thought "oh no!" But it got better after we went to church. We were able to meet Daddy for lunch, and then we came home and the boys took good naps. Then Levi and Seth picked me some flowers, while waiting for Daddy to get home tonight. Stephen got home, and the boys always run out to meet him. The next thing I know, Seth is running back with a card! I opened it up and it was the SWEETEST and MOST PERFECT card Stephen could have ever found!!!! (Thank you!!!) Then Levi comes running up to me with this huge gift bag, saying Mommy lets go inside and see what I got you! haha So we ran inside and it was a cordless sweeper!!! (Thank you Honey!!!!!) I have been wanting one of these, because EVERY time the boys eat, I am on my hands and knees sweeping up the crumbs out from under the table with a little dustpan/brush. So I was so excited to get this, it will save me a lot of time and be so much easier for cleaning up after them. Then there was something else in the bag...it was a Women's Fitness RX magazine! (Does my hubby know me or what!!!) I love women's fitness and working out, and this magazine is a good inspiration and very informative. I was so excited!!! But it wasn't just the gifts, it was that Stephen thought about me, and got these things knowing I have been wanting them. He really put a lot of thought into it, and then letting the boys give them to me...it was so sweet and totally priceless!!!! It was a wonderful Mother's Day. (Thank you Stephen!!!)

Mother's Day: Mommy and Seth, saying "Cheese!" haha

What can I say...this child definitely has a big mouth! haha

Mommy and Levi...he is being silly....as usual!

Daddy and the boys!

I don't know why the last picture was blurred....it isn't on my computer, but after it uploaded it appeared blurred on here....wierd!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to ME!!! Levi took our picture, and Seth jumped on us! haha Never a dull moment around our happy home.

Levi would climb to the top and jump...I caught him "mid-air" on this one! haha

The boys had enough with "helping" and decided they needed a break to play in the water and cool off. They had a blast!

My Handsome Cowboy....wondering why I am taking pictures instead of helping.....haha But after this picture I started helping, and we worked ALL day, and part of the next day too. I was sunburned and my muscles were SO SORE!!!!

Seth: "being just like Daddy".

Daddy laying out the new grass.....
