Momma's Graduating

I know this blog is about the boys, but I am too excited not to share. I finally finished the pharmacy tech program. I am all done with the school part, the national certification, and externship. Now, I just wait for the state to issue my license. I am so grateful for all the help I had along the way. I was so scared to go back to school...mostly because I didn't know how I could manage being a mom, wife, and student. BUT, with much help from my parents and hubby, I was able to get it done. My boys even helped me memorize the gazoozles of medications that I had to commit to memory. WOO HOO!! My first interview is next Wednesday...yikes. (Thanks for the funny face Scott!!:))

Lil' Squooooshies!

Gotta love these guys. I tried to get some good pictures of these boys, but they were so silly that it was hard to capture more than just a few good shots. Shortly after this shot, Scott started a dog-pile...it was all over after that. He is a tad too goony for this kind of thing. The boys all go to the same elementary school and Michael's teacher has also had Dallin. During conferences, she said, "Boy, your Scott has that special glimmer in his eye...like, 'what am I going to do next?'" She has him pegged!

Apples to Apples?

So, I thought we could just play a lil' game of Apples to Apples at my parents' house. What could be so bad about that? I had my camera in hand from earlier shots and caught these hilarious expressions!! The boys DID have fun...I promise!

Happy Birthday, Michael!

Michael is nine years old! My lil' squishy boy:) Michael wanted to get a dog from Build a Bear, so we "adopted" Russell. Then, we had a Mexican meal at Patty's house with all the family. Just a nice, simple birthday. His aunt Patty gave him a MP3 player with all his favorite music on it. Nana and Papa gave him a Painted Pony to add to his collection. If you have never seen these, they are amazing. I love seeing all the detail that they put into them. Grandma and Grandpa set up an appointment with a ranch locally to ride horses. Needless to say, he was in HEAVEN.

Uncle Tony's Shop

During our visit to NC this last week, the boys had a chance to play in Uncle Tony's workshop. He took the boys to a woodworking store and they bought the supplies to make pens. They spent hours out there making pens. The pens turned out sooooo cool. Some were made of wood and others were out of acrylic. The boys loved spending time with Tony and all the tools:)

New lil' baby toes

Don't you just love baby toes!!?? The boys and I got to go to North Carolina to meet our new neice\cousin. This lil' baby is so perfect! We've waited so long for her to join our family. We love you, G.!

Bike riding

Now that the boys hang out with my mom everyday, they get to ride their bikes on something other than dirt. They love how fast they glide down Mom's paved road:) I took them on some rides that I used to go on when I was younger...whew!!! It feels like the entire Harland Rd is a hill...well, only until it is our time to turn off. Then, it goes downhill. Pretty fun, though. I was really impressed with how the boys handled hills and tough parts of the ride. They are strong lil' guys. Ya know, I have always loved riding bikes. The wind blowing in your face and how fast your scenery can change...and how fast you can ride away from creepy houses or dogs:)
