Future Potato Farmer

When we planted our garden Ryan decided to plant his potato outside of the garden bed. He must of known better than his Mommy because his potato plant has grown to triple the size of the others and is producing bigger and better potatoes than the rest. Maybe he has a future in potato farming.

"All Dressed Up"

I LOVE when my house is all dressed up for a holiday!!

"Buzz Baby"

Callie is very interested in playing with her baby dolls right now. Her favorite choice of babies...Buzz. She loves playing with Ryan's Buzz Lightyear Robot. She totes him around in her arms, she pushes him in the stroller and the play shopping cart. She calls him "Buzz Baby." I sure this is not the intended purpose of the Buzz Lightyear toy, but it works!!

Happy Father's Day!!

We love you. We are so lucky to have the best Daddy in the whole world.

Ryan's Preschool Gradutaion

Ryan graduated from preschool!! His school had a nice ceremony, the teachers talked about each student and why they loved having them in school that year. They said that Ryan was very social and that the girls all fought over who was going to get to play with him, what a ladies man! He had a great year and now onto kindergarten. We are so proud of you Ryan.

Vegas Baby!

Last weekend I got to escape on a quick girls vacation to Vegas. I met my Mom, my sister, Jen and my Aunt Susan. We had tons of fun, besides the stomach bug that affected a few of us, and a few late flights. It was great to get away and just be with the girls. Jen was lucky at the blackjack table, as long as she didn't place those $50 bets on accident...haha! Mom and Susan had mega fun at the mega slot machine. All in all it was a good trip and we had lots of laughs. Maybe next time we will convince the other girls to come along...Lizz, Brandi and Dawn...I am talking to you!

TURKEY RUN!!!!

We have been watching two momma turkeys and their babies the last couple of days. The babies are so cute, so little and they follow their mommy around. Tonight during dinner we saw the turkeys fly up into the tree at the back of our yard, and then the babies flew up too. So being the brilliant person that I am, I decided this would be a great photo opportunity. I got my camera and went out the side door so that I could ease up on them quietly. I couldn't get a real good shot because of the lighting so I kept easing up the hill. The turkeys were clucking at each other, I thought this was so cute. The momma turkeys then flew out of the tree and went on their way, or so I thought. All of a sudden the mother hens clucked at the babies, the babies flew down and a momma started CHARGING at me. Neck stretched out, wings stretched out and running full speed. I turned and ran...stumbled...down the hill, hit the edge of the trampoline, spun toward the grass, tripped and started to fall. Thoughts running through my head; oh no my expensive camera, must save camera, dang the camera, throw it at the turkey to save myself. I decide to gracefully roll into the grass and save the camera. I then noticed the turkey was still after me and I screamed for Damon, hoping that he was watching. I got to my feet and Damon was there and the turkey ran off. I scrapped up my leg and arm, and my adrenaline is pumping. Luckily I didn't break anything, it would totally stink to miss out on my Vegas trip because of a turkey chase. So life lesson learned...don't approach wild animals and their babies. DUH!

SUMMER...it's about time!

Finally the weather has turned warm and we are getting to enjoy the nice warm sunshine.
