More of May!!

Gramma found these cool fans :) and the kids ended up crowded around Aunt Teresa fanning her! Okay, how's that work??? And they still play with the fans (in July)!!

Us...

Of course, we didn't have the camera out when the rest of the families had their picture taken because we had already loaded up... :(

First swimming of 2009 - check out Kolby's cool cloth swim diaper by Imse Vimse!!!
Some of the faces of Kolby... He likes to ham it up!! The pictures of him in the striped shirt were taken at our local Las Fajitas - In the center picture he is standing on the little bar where they rest their feet on the high chair. He would get a chip and then scoop (and I mean scoop) queso or salsa!! Fun times!!!
More at Las Fajitas! Del didn't realize he was supposed to be in the picture some of the time... :)

Since we'd sold both trucks, we had one vehicle so one day the boys and I decided to walk to the nearest park - only 1.5 miles away!! Kolby rode in the stroller while Kyle & I walked. We were almost there and Kyle said, "Mommy, my legs are tired!!" I knew we were in trouble... So, after our picnic lunch, playing on the playground and swinging, Del came on his "lunch hour" to pick us up and take us home. What a wonderful Daddy!!

May's gone??

So I'm WAYYYYY behind... the other day someone commented on following my blog but it had been a while and they wanted to see pictures of the boys... erm, oops! You see (by the following) that I actually start things then don't finish them... get sidetracked or something. :)

In May, I sold my truck, finally. It was a sad but necessary parting and found a good home in Louisiana, of all places so someday some of you could see it on the road!! :)

Kyle is pretty self-sufficient... all his bowls were in the dishwasher so he found a cup for his cereal and milk as well as a cup for milk to drink!!

Ride'm cowboy!! (Looks like they were sporting new haircuts...)

Love the grin on Kyle's face!!!

Hang on!!!!

Fun new breakfast idea!!! I got some recipe cards from Usborne Books and their idea had a flower for the cutout - very cute but not exactly for boys!! We had a lot of fun with breakfast!!



May found us in Texas for Kyle's 4th birthday and a couple Usborne Books parties!! We had a grand time at Grampa Wayne and Gramma Dawn's with Uncle Kent, Aunt Molly, Madison, Preston, Uncle Kory, Aunt Teresa, and Ryan!!

All four Grandsons...

And Grand-daughter!! Madison reading!! Was fun to see her read stories to the boys!

Aunt Molly househunting...

Serious games...
Kyle had been eyeing this cake for 6-8 months at Wal-Mart so I decided it must be the cake he wanted for his birthday!! He is STILL talking about it!! :)

Actually, he's concerned (still) about what happened to the cupcakes we left behind at Grampa & Gramma's house... :)

More to come of family photos etc...

4 THINGS YOU CANNOT RECOVER …

This was shared in an email today and helped me to see a little more clearly...

Graduation...

We are no longer Daddy and Mommy - we have graduated to Dad and Mom. *sniff sniff*

Exciting new opportunity!!

I have found a new opportunity!! Well, several, actually...

I have found a way to save money on books for the kids (all the way until they are teenagers)! I have found a way to earn free books for myself and help others do the same!! I have found a way to promote literacy! And, I have found a way to make money and others can do the same, too!

Have you heard of Usborne Books at Home? Well, they are now Usborne Books & More and my boys LOVE them!! I decided I would start selling them! Of course, you can attend a home show and order books for yourself or for gifts. You can have your own home show and earn books, not only off your party but parties booked from yours! You can sign on to sell them to earn discounts for yourself and/or to make money!!

Anyway I look at it, it's a great deal and fun!!! I received my "kit" in the mail a couple weeks ago and my boys are loving the books!! I hope they'll be in a condition to actually share at your party!! :)

You can check out my website: www.ubah.com/A3442. You can enter to win $50 of free books, you can host a show, you can purchase books online or you can learn more about becoming a consultant yourself!!

I have dates available in the Houston area in March!!! :) I have dates available in April etc in Arkansas!! If you just want to see the books, let me know and we can sit down and learn about them together!! :)
