Pine Valley 2010

We love to go to the Veyo pool when we stay at the Cabin. It is a little dumpy pool blasted full of people under a big mountain with really yummmmy greasy corn dogs, hamburgers, fries and old fashioned shakes. That's what I'm talking about!

...And if you have ever been there you know how long this road up from the pool really is....It's a killer Ava I'm with ya on this one!

Happy 7th Birthday Tough Guy

Gotta LOve Spring time... and Ava

Thanks to Grandpa Arlyn We had a thriving Garden this year! We (well Tyler) Actually made home made Salsa YUM! We are down to one bottle now and Tyler refuses to use it... He's a saver, I'm a user!

So I know this is a little inapropreate but really it is hilliariouse! (my spell check will not check and I know these words are wrong, I'm a stupid speller) ha ha ha ha ha

Ava and her posse's at their pre school Graduation

Ella's team actually won every game of the season. Yahoo! They were in the championship game against some Fredonkie team and took 2nd (only because the donkies chose not to swing at any pitch and they had bad sportsmanship...if ya ask me). I was so fired up I wanted a re match! It was bad, Ella was so proud of her trophy (especially because Drew's team didn't hardly win a game) and I wanted to fight the other coach and umpires because it was rigged! This year its on!

He always loves to dress up in something so when they ask him to catch it just lights his fire!
Come on, Come on hit it to me.... I got it! I got it! I got it! Oh Ya here it comes.... Dang it! It rolls right by him. Down on the ground he goes into a big mad sulk then he stands up and throws his hat off... What a drama KING, I wonder where he gets if from??? I'm guessing his dad! (notice the big hubba bubba bubble gum in his mouth, wouldn't be a baseball player with out it)

It's Baseball Baby

Drew just had to have this titanium necklace for baseball this year, he wore it faithfully and I think at times it must of helped. . . And at times it must of NOT!

Here it must of worked because he hit a three run home run to win the game! It was the highlight of his season (he's still talking about it) Too bad Tyler was at work and only got to see him running around the bases, he missed the hit. After this the rest was pretty upsetting (or that's when the necklace wasn't' performing up to its promise)
And here you can see it was NOT working, with THREE BIG swings and a miss he pouts back to the dug out.

March & April 2010...

Ava wanted to be Ariel for Halloween for like three years, and not once has she ever been her. She had a birthday party to go to and By Dang she was going to dress up like Ariel (even if it wasn't a dress up party) So here ya go Av this is your big day to be Ariel... Pose it up girl!

















I tried to be a good mom on Easter morning and read my kids the real meaning of Easter before we did the generic idea of it all and search for eggs and open up the gifts from the Easter bunny...I'm not sure they appreciated it nor will they will next year when I try it again...Maybe when they are parents



My kids always bring home a cup with seeds they supposedly planted but they never grow so I always have to be sneaky and re plant some seeds my self so they can reap the rewards of their harvest. It's hard being a mom sometimes... ;)





















Ava and Maya are so lucky to spend time together while the kids are at school, they get to put makeup on dress up and pretty much do what ever Ava wants them to do.. Poor Maya will have a rude awakening when Ava is a full time first grader.
