A Great Birthday Surprise for Me and Daisy

Well my birthday has pasts and Mike and the boys surprised me as I woke up with a cake, flowers and a balloon. The boys were thrilled to have cake for breakfast- a tradition we have recently started. After cake we went out for the day for free ice cream from cold stone creamery and a bowl of pasta from Noodles. (I encourage everyone to join the birthday clubs at their websites for free birthday ice cream and noodles). When we returned in the late afternoon Daisy had the remainder of the cake on her face. It may be hard to tell in the picture but her entire face was pink from frosting. It was hilarious.

Martha Stewart eat your heart out

Yes can you believe it, we have a huge garden at our house. Here is a lovely picture I know even Martha would love. It was taken early enough in the season that there is no weeds. Give it some time, I am sure the weeds will creep in and take over.

The Knights Castle

Garrett spent an hour building this amazing castle. Complete with "draw bridges" and "secret hiding places." It was truly amazing how proud he was of himself. He ran up stairs and said mom grab the camera, you need to take a picture of this.

SO of course I did. Lucky for me it was just fast enough. Seconds later the destructo man - Carson, came behind me and demolished the entire thing. Garrett tried hard not to cry. I had to laugh and Carson said Do Dit again mommy. I am glad Garrett has patience.

Adisons "RASH"

Well Adison has aquired an awful rash. That not only I am so sick of, all of my freinds are likely sick of hearing about because I just can't figure out how to get rid of this thing. I have had lots of advice from people and have tried many things. So you will all be happy to hear we will be going to the doctor on Thursday. I am hoping they will have insight on how to rid our little princess of the redness on her chin. We shall see. For now this is how her chin will look.

Puddle Jumping Fun

The Boys enjoyed splishing and splashing in puddles throughout the neigborhood during our first big rain this year. Of course this was after we spent an hour in our basement waiting for the tornado to come. Fortunately it missed our neighborhood. Garrett had lots of fun calling people and telling them the tornado was coming.

Garrett's Last Day of Preschool

Wow a whole year of preschoool has already past. Of course it is bitter sweet for all of us. Garrett will miss his awesome teachers, hopefully they will miss him too, he'll have more time with Carson, Adison and Me (not sure how he feels about this), I will have no more days with only two- when will I shop?

Of course we all know that it just means summer is here and we will have more time to play. SANDALS- BEACHES- YMCA - TANS- CAMPING- who could ask for anything more?

A new type of swimming pool

While I was cooking dinner this evening the boys decided to make a swimming pool today in the basement. This is a picture of Garrett getting stuck after diving in. I arrived shortly after he starting calling "MOM help I am stuck." Of course I looked down stairs saw his feet in the air and grabbed the camera. Carson ran to the rescue and jumped in after him, only he landed on Garrett's head.
