FYI

To click off the music so you can see/hear the video just click twice on the mega phones on both picture videos. Sorry for the inconvience, but I can't figure out another way to do it. I know the video is a bit mean to post, but I just love the fact that he is still throwing out food the whole time. And also, Mom is not driving, daddy is :-)

things kids say

I thought I would share with you some of my favorite things the boys have said the past week or two. Enjoy!!
1. We are in target about 9:30 am for a few snacks before we head to the Imaginon center when Ty and Bryce start talking (loudly I might add)Bryce: "I want some purple Gatorade because Daddy said that whatever color your drink is the color poop you will have." (imagine strange looks and a few smiles)
2. Not even three minutes later......."Well Jesus is everywhere..." "No He is not." "Yes He is because He lives in our heart so He goes where ever we go." "But what about hell?" OK, so now I am involved in a hushed tone, "boys, Jesus is in our hearts so He goes with us everywhere, but if He is in your heart you can't go to hell, so Jesus can't either." "See He is not there." "But if I go there then He is" "Mom I don't want to go to hell." OK, so now think about the looks we are getting. Ahhhhhhhh
3. Ty:" Mom, your belly is getting big again. Do you have another baby in there?" Trying to take this is stride with out crying or throwing up my dinner, "No buddy, no more babies." "But you might mommy, God might put another one in there."
4. Ty: "Hey mom, there is one more room back here (in the van) for another baby. Can we have one more sister?"
5. Dylan: "Hey I have an idea...."( his fave thing to say all day)
6. Ty during home school...he was drawing a picture of something strong. I was thinking of a man with big muscles, but let him do his thing. I asked finally what he was drawing and he says; "a bottom." OK, why? "Because a bottom is so strong it has to work hard to get the poop out!"
They keep me laughing, rolling my eyes, and a huge smile on my face all day long....hope you are smiling!

News Flash!!!

OK really big news!!!! NO I am NOT pregnant, amazing is it not??!! But really last Saturday we found out that there is a DONATOS PIZZA right here in Charlotte! Ah, Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Really I am not being dramatic, WE LOVE THIS PIZZA! We went there straight from the game last Saturday and probably have eaten there 4 more times since. (well some of us have anyway, not going to mention names) But it gets even better.......they are opening one less than 1 mile from our house. I know, can you even believe it! We of course took pictures! We were so excited, we played musical chairs outside while we waited. (sure it was still 85 out)

Team Kenya and The Lazy Five Ranch

Well Team Kenya is lets say KICKING BUTT! Or bottom as we say in our house! The boys are loving playing on a real team. They look forward to every practice and game. They are both doing so well and have scored multiple goals for their team. Dylan is dying to get out there too, and pretty much does every game. I am sure I am a sight for all to see holding Ava in my sling and chasing Dylan back off the field screaming his head off. We only have 2 games left, the boys will be sad, but we are excited that we finally have grass again in the back yard so they can once again resume playing one v one.

Daddy took the whole day last Friday and we all went to the Lazy Five Ranch. We took our sweet friend Kylie with us. We had LOTS of fun and many laughs as crazy animals came running to the car to get fed. Some of us were not big fans of it (Mommy and Bryce) while others just loved it (Ty, Daddy) and still others were just along for the ride (Dylan and Kylie). I mean really think about it...An ostrich, lamas, zebras, pigs...just come to your car, stick their heads in and demand to be fed. A drive through zoo if you will. A little nerve wracking, but fun nonetheless.

Weekend Fest!

Happy baby!!

Dylan is 2!!

We can't believe it!! He is so big, it has gone by so fast. He had a blast at his party. If you can't tell, we had a YELLOW party! When asked what kind of party he wanted, without hesitation, he said he wanted a yellow party!! The boys thought it was so funny, so it stuck!! We had a great time decorating yellow t-shirts, playing games in the yard, eating airplane cake, and opening gifts. Mommy and Ava had a change of outfits from the baby shower we threw that morning!!

how many monkeys......

Can you fit into one tree??!! Well we made it with 3 crazies and no broken bones in the tree for at least an hour!!
