Preschool Graduation!

Yes folks, thats right he is going to Kindergarten in a few months!
So Cole had his preschool graduation last week. He memorized his part, we had the teachers gift wrapped and ready to go, I had my camera, but I failed to tell him to keep his fingers out of his nose. Now he is not a regular nose picker so I didn't think I needed to remind him of that. Boy was I wrong! To his defense, he said he wasn't picking his nose, he just wanted to see how far he could pull his nose holes- a logical explanation for a 4 year old! Oh, how I love this boy - he makes me laugh in so many ways. He is so tender and sweet (95% of the time), he is smart, and believe it or not he really is ready for kindergarten.
I will miss him!

Allen, Evangeline, and Mischa

It's Mothers Day morning and the kids and I have been having a blast morphing ourselves. It's been really fun to watch ourselves transform. We've also had some good laughs as we see what we morph into. This website takes your face shape, the way your head is angled, other facial features, and then morphs you into the "celebrity" your scan resembles the most. It's not real accurate - I had my hair pulled back in a ponytail and sunglasses on and the scan morphed me with a male race car driver, I was also morphed to Holly Hunter. Nick was morphed to Renee Zellwegger and Adrian Brody - so funny! Cole has been morphed to Marilyn Monroe (seriously - Marilyn Monroe's sexy white dress and all), Haley Joel Osment, Allen Iverson (our favorite). And all three kids have been morphed to cute little Asian celebrities (pretty funny too). It's very random but really fun - so try it and get ready for a good laugh! Have Fun!

What a weekend!

So this weekend we had 3 soccer games - McKayla was awesome and received player of the game, again! Way to go babe, we're so proud of how hard you work!
Cambria competed in a cheer competition on Saturday (in between 2 soccer games)! Whew!! Cambria's cheer team took 1st in their division, she did great! Go Stars!
and Cole learned to ride his 2 wheel bike (without the training wheels). I was so impressed because he was riding his bike two minutes after we took the training wheels off. Way to go bud - you're doing great!
Honestly, there's nothing better than watching your kids work hard, learn new things, and accomplish their goals! I am so proud of them! Way to go!

the man cold!

Don't forget to pause my music while you watch this!

The Man Cold Syndrome

I have many wonderful men in my life...husband, son, father, 5 brothers, etc... so I can honestly say I've been around men my whole life and this is the absolute truth...men are so dramatic when they are sick. We girls suck it up and still manage to function while we are sick, however, the male species are not quite as capable, and are so demanding when they are sick. Now, you may think I am writing about my dear husband, and I am to a degree, he is not sick right now (thank heavens) and I assure you when he is it's pretty dramatic! Today, however I am talking about my darling 4 year old Cole. He is fulfilling his roll as a man... he has another ear infection and I know it hurts terribly. I am keeping the motrin going, but he is using it to his advantage. He can't clean up his room- his ear hurts, I have to rub his tummy all night, he wants a hot compress for his ear and the second it cools down I have to warm it again - or the moaning starts, he wants me to carry him everywhere, etc....however, when he is playing Lego Star Wars you would never know he has an ear infection. Funny! He is totally working it and has perfected "The Man Cold" syndrome at age 4...it must be something males are born with!

HAPPY EASTER!

Cole looking everywhere for easter eggs. Too Cute! The Easter Bunny left the kids lots of fun things!
We always head to Wyoming for Easter! It's so fun to spend time with cousins, ride the horses, have an Easter scavenger hunt, and or course see Grandpa and Grandma. The kids have so much fun and love to explore the great outdoors.
