Life. Is. Good.



With school being done for the summer words can not explain the big weight off my shoulders. It feels awesome to not be worried about getting work done while making time for my three boys and all the other daily tasks. This past weekend we went out for Kasey's bday and wow I haven't had that much fun in a long time and stayed up much past our usual bedtime..haha..I know, we are getting old, but two young kiddos will do that. Sunday we lounged around and then went to Waterloo to see my mom and dad. It was really a great mothers day. So, Payton turned 18 months old today...wow...and Parker will be 6 months old on the 15th. Payton is really starting the toddler stage where tantrums are coming full force. He definitly has a strong personality. I do have to brag about how smart he is, he can put most of his puzzles together by himself and do the shape sorter toy in like no time flat. Parker's first tooth broke thru today, you can't see it really but you can definitly feel the tooth has come thru the gum. He hasn't even really been fussy. He is such a mellow little man. Well here are a few pics from this past weekend. One is Parker being the smiley boy he is and the other is Payton on the batter powered John Deere which he actually figured out how to make go! More pics are on facebook.

Relaxation....

Ahhh...it feels so good to be refreshed and relaxed. I just got home from Florida yesterday morning after four days in Clearwater Florida sitting on the beach with my mom and sister. We laid out in the 90 degree sun, walked on the pier, swam in the ocean, shopped, and even rode waverunners out in the ocean. I saw so many dolphins it was so amazing, one even came up close to our waverunner! The sand was white and amazing, we even found really cool sea shells. It was such a nice get away. However, I have NEVER been away from my three boys for that long EVER. But, they survived...daddy really did a great job, I should have never worried. I just submitted my last paper for the semester and now get to enjoy a fun sun filled summer. Hopefully the only stress we will have will be moving into our new home. I will try to upload some pics when I have more time. But, for now.....bring on summer!
