FFF= Pajama Party

The boys are both doing their "silly" faces for the camera, They crack me up. These were taken about a week ago. This past week we have all been sick, UCK!! I think he have all just been passing around our cooties. Luke and Dew are doing OK today but me and Kolby are still not to hot.

We took Kolby to the Doctors yesterday, we found out (we had sort of figured it out on our own) that we have a BIG boy. Kolby is in the 90% for Height and weight. Hum.... I guess that explains why he and Luke weigh the same.

Kirsten!!!

I know that I have mentioned that Dewey's sister is stationed in Iraq. We worry and pray for her daily. I mentioned this to Luke's wonderful daycare and asked if maybe the kids could make a card to send to her. Well Jenny went above and beyond, she had the kids do this poster. It has all the kids hand prints with their names and ages. We sent it to Kirsten and she was thrilled with it. We just got this picture with her holding it. Thanks Jentle Jungle!!!!!

How to make a cool fort out of an ordinary entertainment center

By Luke Warner

Now the key to this project is timing and patience, about a week before you plan on having the fort is when you need to start the project. The place I found for the perfect fort just happened to hold about 100 of my parents DVD's. So I started out slow, several times a day I would pull out 5-10 DVD's and scatter them on the floor. Because my mom had to pick them up she started to think that having the DVD's in a place where I could reach them was maybe not such a good idea. Its key for the whole project to work that she think this, this is where the patience comes in.

After about a week I was pretty sure she had about given up hope of a nice organized DVD center. Now comes the timing........ I waited until she was safely in the bathroom at the other side of the house. Now I knew I had to be fast, even in the bathroom she would soon realize she was not hearing the normal screams and yells me and Kolby always make. So she would know something was up. Luckily I had Kolby's help, as I flung the DVD's out Kolby would scatter them around to make more room. It was a great team effort. I'm proud to say that by the time mom came out (maybe 5 minutes) we had all the DVD's out of the cabinet and were able to climb inside.

So with a little effort on my part I now have the perfect little cubby to sit in.

FFF= Favorite photo of the week (only one)

It was hard to pick only one. But I love this one of Kolby smiling. The super-cute chair he is sitting in was delivered yesterday. It was a surprise gift from G.G (Great grandma) in Texas. Thank you, grandma Kolby loves it!! She gave Luke a cute wooden chair last year, so now they both have the perfect place to sit.

Birthday fun with toddlers

So.... finger painting with a 1 and 3 year was not near the fun I hoped it would be. I take that back it was plenty of fun for Luke and Kolby, me not so much. I had planned to have this little project outside but it ended up raining all day. So it was inside the house for painting fun. The actual painting part took about 6 minutes the cleaning up the paint off of every surface that little fingers can reach, grab, touch took about an hour. But this is our finished project.

Luke is holding Kolby's hand to try and keep him in one place. You can tell Kolby is not so hip on this idea. I took about 8 other pictures with Kolby in various places in the picture all of which involve him trying to run off.

Who likes cake?? Luke was so excited to help bake "daddies cake" I think he liked that part even more then the eating part. Now Kolby on the other hand was a wild man, he inhaled the cake and was laughing the whole time. By the end he was covered from head to toe in cake and frosting.

All in all Dewey said it was a great birthday.

Happy BIRTHDAY Dewey!!

I found these pictures from....gasp..... 18 years ago. (I know when you say the number it seems like a long time ago, but it doesn't feel like that long ago) My darling hubby is still 30 something. I love looking at these pics, he has always been fine as can be and is only getting better with age. (I promise sweetie)

So Happy happy birthday to an amazing man who I am blessed to call my husband!!

The boys have a surprise planned, I'll post pics when we are done.

Sunday fun

We have a beautiful walk/bike trail that starts at a park in town and winds its way up a canyon. It has warmed up here, Sunday ended up being a beautiful day.

Luke walked for the first mile!! We kind of thought he could do it as he does nothing but run all day long. Dewey wore the back back to carry him once he got tired. And I pushed Kolby in the stroller. He was happy as can be to just look around at everything.
Kolby has not quite learned "smile when there is a camera in front of you" but with the zillion pictures I take I'm sure it won't be long.

There is a playground at the park at the beginning of the walk. So after snacks we played there for a minute. Can anybody tell me why slides are so blasted hot. The first one Luke went down he yelled the whole way "TOO HOT, TOO HOT!!" Poor little guy. But as you can tell he had plenty of fun playing on the other toys.
