It only happens to me...

Do you ever have one of those times in your life where you think "this stuff only happens to me"? Well I have many of them. Yesterday after dinner I'm cleaning up the dishes and as I'm bringing the pan of sloppy joe mixture to the counter the spoon falls out of it onto the floor. Splat! I had a huge mess to clean up because of course the spoon had the bbq all over it. Today as I'm making chicken kabobs for dinner tonight I stab myself not once but twice with the skewer leaving me to dig out a large wood splinter. Now as I was just shaking up some fruit in a Tupperware bowl the lid comes loose and grapes and cantaloupe are everywhere on the clean floor I just mopped. I told Ben last night these things only happen to me..:) He laughed and said they don't but they do happen a lot to me. So ok there is my vent for the day I am a clumsy person mostly because I tend to do things to fast. Maybe I need to learn a lesson from these incidents and learn to slow down..hahahah.

Been awhile..

Since I last posted. Not to much is happening here. Roman has dumped the train set bucket over and is playing drums on it with two plastic tinker toys. It's his new favorite thing to do let me tell you it gets quite annoying. He's also taken to dancing a lot lately I don't know where he picked that one up from but he's quite cute to watch. Could be we have a little muscian in the family. Lucas went camping with a friend all weekend and it was so weird not having him around. That's the first time he's been away from home by himself. He had a blast and was not ready to come home yet although he did say he missed Roman a lot...and later he added his mom a little bit..as he said it with a smirk. I'm no fool he is such a die hard mama's boy I know he did more than he admits to he stayed pretty close to home yesterday. He was such a sweetie all day long he was very helpful watching his little brother and helping clean etc. I think I'll send him away more often..heehee just kidding I really missed him and I'm glad he's home. Kaleb thought it was great being the big cheese for three days. I realized how much more he can do than what I give him credit for. It really made me see how Lucas overshadows him quite a bit. It was nice not having two kids nit picking and fighting for a few days. But here we are life is back to normal..:) We did make it out on our boat finally and it ran GREAT!! we were so excited it was been a pile ever since we bought it Ben finally ended up having to rebuild the engine last summer. This is the first summer where it actually has ran good. We had a lot of fun on it Roman kept laughing and saying "this is fun, go faster daddy". He loved to go fast he was to cute. Although we have it for sale I'm secretly hoping it doesn't sell until say Sept. hahhah the way boats are selling right now it'll be awhile before it sells. We'll use it until it does. Well Roman is waiting for me to "play drums" with him now as he is wearing a huge cowboy hat and insists that I do the same. Here's to drumming in cowboy hats!!

Woohoo she's here...

Our new little niece she is just a beautiful baby. Congrats Isaac and Esther !! She is a beautiful blessing from God!!

Running..

Today they boys and I ran a 5K race which is 3.1 miles. We had so much fun the boys ran their little hearts out I was so proud of them. Lucas ran it in 30 min. and Kaleb in 31.20 they were to cute!


Here is Lucas running. He looks so hot it was very hot and humid!









This is Roman cheering us on...he was earlier..he was sitting his this chair next to his grandma when I went by it was so cute!!











Here's Kaleb running for being just seven he ran so good..the food at the end was major incentive to them both! That's boys for ya..

Parties, Parties and more Parties...

Well after a busy weekend two bbq's, a family picnic, and a parade we had the last of our parties today. The boys had their party from performing arts to go to at a horse farm today. They had a riot they each got to ride a horse which they thought was very cool. Roman wasn't to sure at first but once the horse moved he started laughing. He is quite small compared to the horse he looks so cute on it. We ended up having a great weekend and even though it was slightly busy it was fun.

Parties, p

Thursday...

Seems like I just posted but I guess it's been awhile. On Monday night the boys had their choir concert and plays. It was so so cute! In Kaleb's play he had one line and he said it so loud it was great. His line was "love your enemies" he said it "love your eminies" we all got a good chuckle it was just so cute. Even at seven he still says words wrong not to many at just enough to make it cute. He'll say "ba-sghetti" for spaghetti and such. Anyway Lucas did good as well and both plays turned out good. Their choir was really cute as well one little girl in the front had her shirt completely buttoned wrong and it was so obvious it was so darn cute she was around six I think. Some of the kids had to change after their play into their choir clothes so she probably was in a hurry. Anyway we all thought it was cute. Kaleb who doesn't normally sing loud because he gets to embarrassed for people to hear him....bless his little heart he sang so loud you could only hear him at some parts in the singing. He was just so cute that night! My father in law taped it and I'm so glad he did..thank you again.. So other than the kids concert and drama play we haven't been up to a whole lot. We did go to the zoo yesterday major mistake. It was so busy it was utter mad chaos. I think there was probably 35 buses of school groups maybe more and every mom in the city it was crazy. So we won't be going until school gets out again. I think I will plant my flowers today in my front yard it's suppose to be 88 and sunny....yipee!!
