What a Mom Would Say in 24 Hours

I tried to download this youtube video, but I am not computer savvy enough. I put in this link instead. Watch this, it is hilarious!

School Days

Today was Isaac's first day of preschool for the new year. I am lucky because he loves school and hasn't fought me to go a single day (he went last year too). I probably just jinxed myself :)Isaac and Ava ready to go!
Pre-game celebration...Isaac picked Panda Express (or Panda Bear as he would say) for a special lunch. Got to love that cheezer!
The traditional car picture. I have this same picture from last year so I thought I would keep up on traditions.
Post-game celebration...Golden Spoon. Isaac definately milked me for all I'm worth today!

Pine Valley Get Away

Last weekend Matthew, me and the kids went up to hang out in Pine Valley. It is such a great place to visit and get a change from the usual routines of life. When we are there we just relax and live life in the slow lane. As you will be able to tell from the pictures, nobody gets dressed, nobody puts on makeup, in fact no one even really gets their hair combed. Sometimes you just need those days! After the weekend, Matthew had to go back to work and Callie came up with her three adorable kids after a Lamoreaux family reunion to visit for a few days. We were a little outnumbered-me and Callie against five kiddos, but we had a blast!
Isaac and Ava catching a "big fish" (as Ava would say) with their Daddy. The group...Grace, JJ, Ava, and Isaac.
Callie and Ava in the creek.
Who's holding who? Gibson 6 months, Ava 20 months.
Grace and JJ posing for a picture.
I hate this picture of me but what do you do? I already warned you there is no getting ready!

One of Those Days

If you can't tell from the picture, Ava is crying. This kind of sums up our day. Kids crying, lots of fighting, missing shoes, all mixed with a long list of things to get done. I'm sure all you Moms can relate. This afternoon, I made an executive decision and decided to set up a "movie theatre" and watch Tarzan. I love all my days, even the crazy ones like today. I wouldn't have it any other way!
