BOYS

Honestly, I don't have much to say. I'm just sick of it being Father's Day all year long. Had I ended with a Mother's Day post I probably would have left it but since I didn't, you get to hear a story that's kinda gross and probably not all that funny....but it's not Father's Day and that's what's important right?
We took the boys shooting the weekend before last. They wanted to make their own targets so I'm thinking that's a great idea and I get out all the stuff to help them. The little turds tricked me! They made targets on the front but on the back they drew stick figures and if you hit it right on the front, it hit the stick figure where it counts on the back. Seriously? They thought they were so clever. And then while we were shooting they peed in empty water bottles so they could shoot those.
John thought that was hilarious (I might have smiled a little but not much. I'm much more civilized than that) and of course let them shoot those too.

Some of the backs of the targets. I have lovely children.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's day to our dad who never seems to mind that there is always someone climbing on top him, laying on him, boxing with him, or accidentally kicking him where it counts. He is a definitely a boys dad and spends a lot of time just playing with the kids and they love every second of it. Happy Father's Day! We love you!!

Congrats!

Congrats to T-Dog for graduating pre-school! He is ready to move on and really excited to start kindergarten this fall. He will be going to an all day kindergarten at an international school that teaches Spanish to all the students. He is already preparing. The other day as I was leaving he said "Peace out mom" I was dying laughing and he said, "What? All I did was say goodbye in Spanish!" It's gonna be a LONG year. Congrats T!!

This is why

You don't give a 2 yr old their own hot fudge sundae........Don't ask me what I was thinking because clearly, I wasn't.

Willy

Well, he's dead.

Let me start at the beginning... About 6 months ago I had to run to the pet store to get crickets for our gecko (I do realize that is totally gross but have recently gotten over it because well, the lizard isn't gonna feed himself). I had all the boys with me and we started looking around at all the pets. They all decided they wanted a rat. With red eyes. Seriously? That's gross.

Then we come across the reptiles and they change their mind to a frog or a snake... Finally they decide on a frog... We made a deal. I buy the $7 frog and they save up and buy everything else. I knew it would never happen. For them to save $80 is crazy.

It took six months of saving and pulling their money, but they did it. Tyson and Tate's birthday money gave them that last $20 (thanks ALOT grandpa and grandma..). We all went to the pet store the next Saturday and got everything we needed and put it altogether.

They sat and watched that frog forever. We even considered going to the movies and letting the frog babysit.

Willy was a great frog.

Then a week later Blake asked us to come check the frog because he looked like "beef jerky."

Well, he was right, and the frog was dead. I have no idea why. They cried and cried.

John tossed him in the trash before we realized they were expecting a funeral.

So we lied.

We told them we decorated a box and buried him in the backyard and when they asked if we could dig him up when we move and take him to he next house we told them of course they could.

Goodbye Willy. The boys will miss you. Me? Not so much. You were a great frog for that week we had you.....

Tyson's Birthday

The cake...We had a red cake made and then John made the "M" part.

Tyson turned 5 about a month ago. I figured I better post pictures before he turns 6. So I am a month behind...hey, that's how I roll. He wanted a Super Mario party. Take note, if your child ever requests this theme, run screaming to the hills. There is pretty much nothing out there. I did find a pinata and some plates on the Internet which cost a small fortune and the rest we had to make. It was a lot of work but John and I actually enjoyed it. Now we are praying Blake and Ryan don't pick some obscure theme for their party...with our luck they will pick Avatar or something.

Here's Tyson and the pinata...
