St. Patty's and Distinguished Dragon

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We celebrated by making a leprachaun trap (for school). The kids were very serious about this. They wanted to make sure he would be okay...not squished too much, the stick would still fall when we weren't around, etc. It was great! We also celebrated with our green foods...green milk, green apples, green everything...didn't do green pancakes this year, but other fun stuff. Needless to say, none of us got pinched.

I told them to do a silly face...Kylie doing a sad face as her silly face, Peyton being silly, and Porter doing whatever Peyton does, like always...

St. Patty's breakfast...

Side note: Who can resist this boy? Gotta love him!

Kylie got chosen for The Distinguished Dragon Award. There is one chosen from each class. She was excited to receive this!

After receiving her award...

Kylie with her friend, Booker, who also received the award. I am secretly hoping these two get married when they are older...and when Booker passes her up in height. I don't really think Booker is this much smaller than Kylie, it just seems like that in this picture. Oh well, they are great friends now. On the side...Kylie's future sister-in-law, Maizie. :) So cute! :)

Crazy hair

It was crazy hair day at school the other day. Not sure which was crazier...her hair ready for the day...or when we took it out. :)

Peyton took this picture...I love Kylie's pose with her hair. :)

Peyton's Field Trip

Peyton's preschool class went on a field trip to the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. It was full of animals, dinosaurs, and other fun things for the kids to see. They had a great time.

The boys...Peyton, cool dude Trent, and Jack...

Learning about the lions...
Learning about the dinosaurs...

Silly Porter...

Porter, a part of the fish world...

Peyton and Jack...

Chris...here is your turtle that you want. Instead of us having one, you can visit it at the museum. :)

Us having our picnic. Lovin' the string cheese...

On another note...Porter loves the ladies. He's already taking Avery on a motorcycle ride...

SLCC Alumni Weekend

This past weekend was my college basketball alumni weekend. I worked things out and was able to go...all the way from Las Vegas. Thank you friends, Hilary Armstrong, Kiki Comin, Becky Warburton, and especially Chris for watching my kids for me. Thank you, thank you! I was able to enjoy myself and not have to run in every direction chasing most likely Porter and having to entertain Peyton. Kylie would have been too interested in the cheerleaders, so let's just wait and get her excited for the ball players. :)

Anyways, it was a blast. First off was the alumni game. Not many of my years played...you suckers! So, I played with ones fresh from graduation. It was fun...but let's be honest. I'm glad I am on my other phase of life. I enjoyed playing ball, but also enjoy my kids and family. Playing again was fun and brought back several memories.

The best part of the weekend...seeing everyone! It was great to see friends after 8 or so years, seeing them as mom's, and seeing where we all are at in our lives...mom's, mom-to-be's, wives, OBGYN doc (still amazed, Brookie!), Pharmacist (still sounds boring, T, jk), coaches, etc. Love it all! I loved every minute with you guys. Now, let's get this annual weekend figured out! :)

Yep, you know it...I'm hot stuff!

Girl, I don't think so!
You got nothin' on me, Heather! :)

Good ol Applebee's has my photo up in a couple of their restaurants. I'm cool! And I'm even cooler that I get my picture taken by my picture. ;)

Alumni who played in the game...

Being honored at halftime...(seriously, what the heck was going on???!)

This, right here, made the drive and trip all worth it!

Love you girls!

Freshman picture, all over again...missed you Haley!

Have to admit...we have the best year. 01-03, baby! :)

Happy Birthday Porter!

Happy Birthday to the smiliest, funniest, Porter the Quarter we know! Love ya crazy little 2-year-old!

1 year!

Love ya Little Buds!

Family Pictures

Last month we decided to do family pictures. Bet you can't guess who the photographer is......Yours Truly! Yep, I took them myself. I can't believe how well the kids did just smiling at a red light on a tripod. I hardly had to delete any, they did so great!

Hope you enjoyed! They aren't the greatest quality, taken with a little OLD digital camera, but it did it's job. We had a great time. We sure love our kids!
