Guess who turned 30?

Here is a sweet rendition of an old classic. Or something like that. The next several pictures are from our busy last 2 weeks, 2 birthdays & a graduation. Where does the time go?

Lots of Birthday Cake!

I love being a mom. I know that this is what I was created to do. To love God, to love my husband, and to love my kids. Nothing gives me more pleasure than holding their hands or kissing their sweet little lips. Today was a wonderful day. Life is good!

Check out the cool new do! This is the style he wanted & Derek said it's just hair! So I guess we'll have to pick our battles. At least my 5 year old didn't ask for an earring or black nail polish or a tattoo that says "mom" He is asking for his own cell phone, "in case he gets lost" was his reasoning. Right! we'll see which "battle" we pick next! For now, I'm ok with a mohawk!

These boys are the best! Taylor & Tyson with their new hairdos & then Tyson with his best buddy Jonah Bonah. Can you tell they're saying "cheeeeese"?

So today was one of those memorable days where nothing really goes wrong, just not the way I had planned. Tyson and I had planned to go to the recycle center, the library downtown & the Discovery Center but within an hours time he had "poured me a cup of coffee" i.e. filled my coffee cup with creamer & then poured the remaining creamer on the table & floor. Plus I think he drank all the coffee that was already in the cup to begin with. Then since his clothes were wet, he stripped down to nothing but his blue croclings & ran out the garage door so the whole neighborhood could see. While I was wiping the creamer from the rug & table he proceeded to pour a bottle of bubble bath into the tub( that'll be fun during bathtime tonight) anyway, one thing after another until we wisked out the door to run off some of his energy. Discovery center was fun, sorry, forgot the camera. There were about 17 field trips of school aged kids. overall, it's been an eventful morning & I'm ready to lie down he he, let's just see if that happens! New pictures to come shortly.
