FFF= Crazy Hair

This one was tough because with my boys, its always crazy hair. Luke has taken to wearing a hat 98% of the time. So I have not taken a pic with him without his hat in ages.

These pics were from a few days ago. We have a small fenced in lawn area in the back of our house. How the boys were able to find mud is beyond me. And there are only pics of Kolby with mud EVERYWHERE. Somehow Luke remained in near pristine clean condition. After some questioning and a small shovel was discovered, it became clear what had happened.

Kolby thought it was the most fun ever to stand there and have Luke shovel mud on his head.

Its hard to tell in this pic but there is mud...in his mouth

And drum roll please..................

The PIF winners (randomly drawn from Luke's hat) are ANNA, PAULA and JANA!!!!

So will you three please send me your sail mail address's to swwillwork4u @ yahoo.com (no spaces) And I will work on getting you your fabulous little somethings in the mail.

"Yea sister" and "PIF"

Cassidi came down last weekend, the boys were beside themselves excited. All we heard all day Sat was "when will sister be here" then when she got here "Yea sister" . They had to know where she was every second. (Which meant pounding on the door while she used the bathroom to make sure she was in there.)

On Sunday Cass and Dewey went for a horse back ride. From our house you can ride on dirt roads up to some small mountains. These are pics they took on their ride. They were gone for hours and had a great time doing some father daughter bonding.

It was such a fun weekend having Cassidi visit. (hopefully the boys didn't traumatize her to much :)

Ok now for the "PIF"

Love Rainbows

We have had these amazing afternoon summer storms, almost every day for the past week or so. These pics are from the storm on Saturday.





I love love these storms, they cool everything off and bring much needed rain and are simply beeee-autiful . But....... We now have weeds that are almost as tall as me. And I swear they were not there a few days ago.
And maybe you green thumb gardener type peeps can tell me why in the very spot that I had THREE failed attempts at growing a garden there are now weeds with stems as big around as my finger???? And don't tell me try squash it will grow like a weed. Squash of any kind is my favorite and I could happily eat it every day. So 90% of what I planted in each garden attempt was for my own personal selfish reasons squash. Nothing, nadda, nilch made it.
Back to glass is half full :)
So after pulling weeds Sat and Sun the backs of my legs are s..o..r..e. The kinda sore that means it counts towards my workout. YIPPEE

FFF= Friends

For Kolby, Luke is his best friend. They have such a funny relationship. Luke is very bossy and likes things done a certain way. Kolby has his own ideas about how things should be done. So it is an endless cycle of laughing, crying, screaming and then laughing again.

Yes they are both wearing bowls as hats
I love this pic, the way Kolby is looking at Luke. Luke was making some noise that Kolby thought was hilarious. He would laugh and laugh when ever Luke did it.
This is one of the cave pics so don't mind all those red eyes. The three kids to the right of Luke are our friend Sam's. Even though they are older then him, Luke still has a blast anytime we see them.
This is Luke and Drew. Drew is also older then Luke but is so cute with him
Drew is one of my best friend, Kim's son. So we do a lot with them. As you can tell Drew is helping Luke climb to the top of this slide.


This is one of Lukes favorite people. His new cousin Jordan. Haley her sister is right up there as his favorite peeps too. They live in Salt Lake and he always asks when they will come down to see him.

Luke's best friends according to him are "Nona" (its really Leona) and Riley from preschool. He talks about them all the time. I don't have any pics with him playing with them. Whenever I pick him up he seems to be playing with everyone or Kolby. But in his mind Nona and Riley stand out as his friends.

Summer cold???

Yep me and Kolby have come down with a cold. Since when do we get sick right in the middle of summer? So its been a little quiet around here the last few days. It rained all day Sunday so that was the perfect day for us to all snuggle on the couch watching movies.

It's probably my own fault I got sick, I have not been taken vitamins the past few months. So mental note to self "buy loads of vitamins the next time I go to the store".

Workout update.....

Well my first week went "OK" not a huge success but not a huge failure either. I would put it as a good place to start. Once the boys were in bed I did two nights of weight training and one night of cardio. A few workouts short of what I was shooting for. But it did feel really good to get my muscles moving again. So I better get over this cold soon so I can get back in the swing of things.

FFF= Our Choice

Yesterday the boys and I were in the backyard playing. They filled up a wheelbarrow with dirt and mud (cus they are boys) and dumped it on the back patio. Of course this would be impossible to do without both getting very dirty. I grabbed a hose to clean up the mess. And didn't realize that would include the boys.
We had so much fun. (I love those unplanned simple wonderful times) The boys ran all over the lawn with me chasing them with the hose. They both laughed and screamed and ended up soaking wet. And bonus the lawn got watered :)

Check out these cute chicks :)

Our newest farm addition.............. More chickens. They are not all ours only 15 or so of them. The rest are our neighbors. They are currently living in deluxe accommodations at their house.

And the coolest thing is that they will lay "Easter" colored eggs. From what the catalog said they lay in all different colors. I have never seen such a thing so I'll keep you posted on the color success.

The boys were so excited to see them. Kolby reached right out to pet one. Luke is excited because he will get to help dad build more chicken coops. (Just like Handy Manny, he says)

Just look at those cute little faces!
