Life is just so hard!

The Lords Been Good To Me

Work Weekend 2011

This past weekend was our "Work Weekend" at the lake house.  We all put on our grungy clothes and got tons accomplished!  Boards on the deck have been replaced, bar signs are hung, speakers are up and functioning, flower beds are cleaned out, and the entire deck has been stained.  Now we are officially ready for summer!

Cruz was so interested in helping get the old boards up.

 Jett helped out too!

 Wanting to be the first to "paint" the deck!

 By the end of the day Cruz and the deck had the same amount of stain on them!

 Playing in the house

 Some people "Supervised"

 And some people actually "Worked"

 How many people does it take to stain a deck?

Dr. Seuss Day

Its been a few weeks ago but I thought I'd share anyway.  Cruz's class had Dr. Seuss day.  They had green eggs and ham for breakfast.  (Miss Carrie said Cruz was NOT a fan!  Surprise! Surprise!)  They watched Horton Hears a Who, read Dr. Suess books, and turned themselves into Cat in the Hat!  So fun!

Mommy look at me!

Jett is moving in full force now.  Crawling and disappearing are his two new favorite hobbies.  The other day he vanished right before me.  I looked all over the house, in every bedroom, calling his name.  Then I walk toward the front door and look who's hiding...

Just checking out the front porch!

 Literally licking the window clean!

 And laughing about it!

 ooo, whats that?

A house full of sleepy boys

This is my house every morning before the chaos begins!  It is calm and quiet.  I thought I'd document it so that I can remind myself of what "down time" is!

I also got this cool new photo app on my phone that I wanted to play with so voila!  Love it!

The Sloth

Jett is finally crawling!  Now when I say crawling, I really mean one arm, one leg, army crawling!  Its hysterical!  And he is fast!!!  He can move across the living room before you can blink an eye! 

Here's a little video of the action. 

Its beginning to look alot like...

LAKE TIME!!!

We spent this last weekend with the Campbell's and Beaty's at the lake!  I can't decide if the little boys or the big boys had the most fun!!!

Let's see how many people it takes to hang a tree swing!

 Jett and Gammy watching from the porch.

 I think there may be too many cooks in the kitchen!
Cruz is ready people!!!

 The first run!  Please Jesus don't let this thing fall to the ground!

 Max's turn. Not sure what to think yet!

 Mason's up!

 Rowdy crowd!!!

 Jett's turn!  I figured if it held up for the 3 big kids, we were probably safe!  He LOVED it!

 Camp Director Marshall taking the boys on a golf cart ride.

 Jett being introduced to one of the Beaty's pups "Big Poppy"

 Signing our names on the church benches.

 Nothing like a lake nap on the patio!

 Ready to go fishing!

 Fishing on the dock.

 Cruz is learning about fishing lures and tackle!  

 All 3 big boys checking out the fish and ducks!

We love spending time at the lake with our friends and family!  Can't wait till it gets a little warmer and we are joined by the Blackburn's, Jackson's, and Fischer's for more fun in the sun!!!

Mama's, don't let your babies grow up

How do you stop the clock?  If anyone has the secret to slowing down time, I would love to know about it!!!

Jett's new favorite toy is the remote!  Any remote, anywhere, anytime!  He is such a boy!

Trying to re-program it as we speak!

Chillin' on our back!

Rollin' to our side...

and onto our tummy! yea!

We love pulling ourself up next to the couch!  I think we may try to run next!!!  

Who me? Naaaaa!

Did I mention we LOVE our remote!

Watch out Big Brother!

I think Jett has finally learned that he is going to have to take up for himself or else!

Jett's toys are now "allowed" in the playroom!;)  Yea, we're clapping for joy!

Bath time (aka splashfest) with brother!  Guess who can splash the biggest?  Yes, that would be the little man!  Mama needs to start wearing a head to toe rain suit for all evening kid scrubbings!!!

It won't be long before the WWE style wrestling matches are ON at our house!  I have a feeling I should start padding the walls now!!!

Yes, it was 70 today but didn't we just have SNOW???

I'm so behind on my blog posts!  Anyhow, we have had two waves of snow here in OKC and Cruz has been begging to get out and play in it!  I convinced Garrett to join him while I took pictures from the window.  There is nothing fun about -10 wind chills (except maybe to a 3 year old!).

It started well!

 Getting colder...

 Telling me "Mommy, my hands are COLD!"

 O really, no wonder child!

 After about 20 mins of playing in the snow and 5 minutes of stripping off wet, cold clothes.

 Brrrrrrr!
