Yep, I Win Mother of the Year Award...

March 27, 2014

Yep, I win Mother of the Year Award, NOT!!  Today was Dawson's first Cub Scout pack meeting, and what did I do... made him miss it :(.  I thought it started at 6:30, unfortunately it started at 6:00. 

Poor Dawson, he went and sat with all the other scouts just in time for them to take down the flag, and say the closing prayer :(.  He was so bummed, he has been so excited to start scouts.  He had been talking about the pack meeting all week.  Such a horrible feeling letting your son down :(.

The Cub Master was kind enough to take Dawson in the kitchen and help him do the activity he missed.

They made crystals...

He was very happy...

I am such a bad mom, I can not remember anything to save my life :(.  Hopefully my kids will only remember the good things :).  Love you Dawson!!  You are so cute in your scout shirt.

Well, We Have Another Driver...

March 26, 2014

Well, we have another driver.  Our Jada Babe finally got up the courage to go take her written driving test.  We had gone to do it in November, but she failed.  She hadn't read the handbook :(.  She was so upset she didn't want to go back.

We finally got her to practice driving in the church parking lot, and then she couldn't wait to go get her permit.  She hurried and read the handbook in 2 days.

WHAT A CUTIE!!!

After passing the test and getting her permit, we let her drive home from the DMV.  I was so glad Dave was with us, and coached her through it :). 

She also got her bottom braces off before we went to the DMV, it was a big day for her :). Your smile is beautiful Jada.  You did a great job driving home :). I sure do luv ya!!

Another fun St. Patrick's Day Come and Gone...

March 17, 2014 

Another fun St. Patrick's Day come and gone.  For St. Patrick's we had our traditional breakfast for dinner.  We had green french toast, green eggs, bacon and Martinelli's sparkling cider.  There is a good reason why Brayden is not in this picture...

Just before dinner, he crashed on his pennyboard, and really did a number on his elbow and wrist.  Poor Brady Boy :(.

Our yummy green meal all ready to eat...

Here is my attempt at a St. Patrick's treat for the kids...

It is suppose to be gold at the bottom of a rainbow :)

I usually make green pancakes, but the kids requested green french toast...

I think this was a way better idea.

Dawson did not want to come in to eat since he had already eaten at the neighbors.  That is how things usually go for me.  I plan a fun evening, and at least one of the kids don't want to participate :(.  He just wanted to keep practicing on his new skateboard.  He is getting really good :)

Dawson is such a funny guy...  This morning he was adament that he was not going to wear green.  He wanted to be pinched.  He always makes me laugh :)

We had a bottle of Martinelli's that we forgot to use on New Year's, so it made the perfect addition for our St. Patrick's celebration.  You know a green bottle, with gold drink... Perfect!  We usually have Sprite, but I think we will always go with Martinelli's now.

Poor Brayden had to eat on the couch... 

We took him in 3 days later, and it wasn't broken thank goodness.

We had a great St. Patrick's Day!  

I sure love spending time with my family :)
