Update

Here's what's been going on here...

 

"No mommy I PROMISE I didn't touch the flour!"...

 Playing games...

 Josh LOVES wings with SPICY sauce!

 Who needs a deck when you can do this...

Tyce is hilarious at the library, he picks books based on how clean and well taken care of they are. It takes him SO long to find out he likes.  He looks through every page for rips, stains, creases, etc...

The boys had  movie night/sleepover downstairs, they are so lucky to have each other...

Jackson and cuddly Brody...

It's finally warmed up around here so we walked to the train station to meet daddy...

We had a picnic lunch at Kimberly's house with Jake...

Traci, who rarely leaves the house after 5pm with the girls, joined us for dinner and ice cream...the kids had a blast together as always...

 Friday Fun Day at my house!!!

Watching Joshy play baseball..Jake, Jasper, Jack, and Tyce...

Jackson and I had a special day on Saturday and went shopping for summer clothes.  Here we are before we headed into the mall...

Hahaha, he accidently tried on some girls shorts...it was hilarious.  He was rolling on the ground laughing and it reminded me so much of going clothes shopping with my mom growing up.  I remember going shopping with her for school or summer clothes and she was always in a good mood and when I'd try on something that was too big, too small, or just hilarious looking her and I would crack up.  Ah memories!

 Spoiled boy got some great stuff!

 Sunday was Mother's Day, Parker ironed my skirt for me...

 I couldn't decide which one I liked better...

I got to sleep in, the boys gave me cute homemade gifts, Parker gave me a thoughtful gift that I am going to return, haha.  He made breakfast, dinner, and did all the household duties...it was glorious!!  It's my fav day of the year and it flew by!

I am extremely grateful for my own mom who taught me all I know about mothering.  She was always a good example to me of hard work, devotion, and patience.  She is one of my closest friends and by far the person I call the most!  :)

I am also grateful for my second mom, or mother in law.  She shows unconditional love, acceptance, and patience for me and my children and for that I am so appreciative.  She would do anything for her family and is very unselfish.

On the way home from church the other day they were all hot so they stripped down!  Gotta love Tyce's Chip N Dale look... 

Tyce had "beach day" at preschool and when I picked him up he was COVERED in red popsicle...how he managed to get it in some places is beyond me...

I bought each of the kids a new my little pony/equestrian doll...they were SO excited!  Yes, Tyce loves My Little Ponies.  No, I am not worried.  He spends most of his days with Leah and Sarah and has always been accommodating to them to always play girl things.  He also loves sports, dirt, bugs, guns, and all things "boy" so for now I am just going to enjoy having some girly toys around the house.  :)

It was super hot so we ran in the sprinklers!  Later, when the twins came home from school, Lori and I filled 250 water balloons and the neighborhood boys had a super fun water balloon fight!
