Pirates Party

The end of the Pirate season is here and what better way to close out baseball then with a party!! As team mom, I decided the players needed a pizza party to celebrate all their hard work. The boys ate pizza, and cake, enjoyed each others company, and most importantly to them, got their trophies!! They all were so excited and proud to get a trophy.  I have not always loved being team mom (dealing with the parents can be tough sometimes) but I do love organizing things like this. Jayden has made some good friends this year and has really started to develop his baseball skills. Way to go Jayden!!

Some of the pirate crew

My favorite pirate!!!

tight spaces

Whenever it's quiet around here, it usually means the kidlets are up to something. Today while I was getting things done I noticed it suddenly began to seem a little empty around the house. As I was looking around for the boys I heard some familiar noises from under the crib. These silly boys decided they needed a hideout to watch the I-pad. I don't even know how they even fit under there. They are just nuts.

8 is Great!!

8 years ago today the two of us became a family. Time really is flying by, sometimes it makes me sad to think how quickly it is moving. I still remember driving to the Temple that special day with Linda and neither one of us being able to talk to each other or even look at each other because we were struggling not to cry. I remember how happy I felt to be kneeling across from you that day. These 8 years we have been through so much together in these years. Our first couple of years together were fun, and for the most part carefree. (Geoffrey, you remember: Date nights whenever we wanted, lazy Saturday mornings, Sunday afternoon naps) Then 3 years and many prayers later we became a family of 3 as we welcomed baby Jayden. Year 4 we added one more to our family, the loudest and tannest ;) baby Alex. The 6th year we added our curly headed Landon monster  to our crew. And these last two years well, have been just crazy! But through all the chaos, smiles, toddler fits, and snuggles there is one thing that time hasn't changed, and that's how much I love you! Geoffrey you are my best friend, and my eternal companion I am so thankful for you! I am excited to see where the next years take us! I love you!! Happy 8th Anniversary!!

mothers day

Happy Mommy's Day to ME!! 

This morning I woke up to a breakfast fit for a princess! Waffles and strawberries (my favorite!). I was also showered with lots of kisses and snuggles (also another favorite!). Then off to church  we went. My boys sprinkled me with a couple gifts too. My day was almost perfect until Geoffrey's blood pressure spiked and then he had to rest. Geoffrey resting= no nap time for me! A mommy's work is never done, even on Mother's day!! 

grandfather

Grandfather is here in Florida for a couple days and he decided to come over and visit. We don't get to see him to much but when he comes, the boys do a great job of showing him he's loved. Today when he came over the boys were swimming in the pool and after Alex was done he decided he needed a snuggle. What a sweet moment between Great Grandfather and his grandson.

Muffins with Mommy

This morning I was invited to eat muffins with my boys at school to celebrate Mother's Day. It was too cute! They had place-mats which they made, and little questionnaires about their moms. We ate muffins and enjoyed being spoiled and loved. Thanks boys for making me smile!!

DAY 3...

Today we spent the whole day at sea. I was really worried it would be miserable with everyone stuck on the boat with no where to go, but actually it was a great day. We went swimming, played games, ate more treats. Tonight was the formal night so we all got fancy and headed out to the dinner. During dinner I realized this truth... You can dress up the craziness but the craziness never goes away! Just ask Natalie what it's like eating a fancy dinner with 3 crazy midgets!!
