hAPPY bIRTHDAY sTEVEN

To my wonderful husband I would like to tell him HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are such a great person with a sweet heart. I love the way you love your boys and how excited you are about having a new baby. You are such a sucker when it comes to your boys. Riley comes and asks if you can play with him or if he can have something, of course most of the time you say yes. You are so tender with them, well me too. Thank you so much for being YOU!!

mERRY cHRISTMAS

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was so much fun cause Riley actually understood the whole Santa Claus thing this year. He was so excited and he wanted a baby drum (a small drum) and a trampobean(trampoline). Santa came thru and got him what he wanted! Aiden was just like eh'whatever! He does have fun with his toys. They both have fun with each others toys too. Steven got me a wheat grinder I have been wanting along with some bread pans. Hint, Hint for what's to come! Joyce got all of her children's families a BOSCH! I love it. I haven't bought bread from the store since then. Steven absolutely loves that part. He has been begging since we have been married to bake him bread. My excuse was it took to long and was too hard. Now it is so simple. Thanks Katie for your awesome recipe.

hAPPY bIRTHDAY aIDEN!!

Aiden turned one year old on December 4th! I can't believe it has already been a year since the little stinker was born. Just like last December, this one didn't go real great either. Aiden and I were both sick on his birthday. I got over my sickness in a couple of days. Aiden, however, wasn't as lucky. His lasted 2 weeks. Let me tell you, 2 weeks of vomiting and diarrhea are NOT fun! We finally got to have a party for Aiden. He was so fun! He would open a present then we would all clap cause Aiden would get super excited and start clapping also. He is such a cutie even though he can be a handful! Love you so much sweetie!

hAPPY hALLOWEEN!

The boys were so dang cute! I decided we were going to have a more traditional Halloween this year and not buy costumes. I was going to do with what we already had laying around and be creative! Riley was going to be a pirate and Aiden was a scarecrow! Aiden's was way easy. I just got overalls and a flannel shirt. He was suppose to have straw coming out of his hands and feet but of course good ol' Wal-Mart was out of rafia. So he went without. Riley, I just cut some sweat pants and got him white shirt. We had some old pj's that had a hole in them so I made a belt and head-band out of them. I did buy him a sword to complete the costume though. Riley had so much fun! That's what counts right!

pEACOCKS

So Steven and Riley were driving down the road where we lived in the trailor, heading to the arena. The Cluff's who live down the way have A LOT of peacocks. They are always in and around the road. We even have to sometimes wait for them to move out of the way before we can keep driving. This particular day one was out by the road and had his feathers all spread out. It obviously was the first time Riley had seen, or noticed, them. He got all excited and was like, "Look daddy look!" Steven asked "what is that Riley?" Riley responded, "It's a FLOWER CHICKEN!!" Steven loved it. He had to call me and tell me what he'd just said. This is too dang adorable!

tIGHT sPACES

Britt came to play last week and the boys were having so much fun playing in the back yard. I had Riley's little pool out there with just a little water in it but it was starting to get really nasty and the toys were a bit slimmy. I asked them not to get in it yet, that I would clean it out and refill it with clean water. I got them all squared away and then remembered I bought Aiden a tiny pool too. I blew it up and put the water in it and he LOVED it! The bigger boys thought that maybe it would be fun to get in with Aiden. They all barely fit! It was too dang cute!
