Memorial Day

Well, I'm definitely enjoying the 4 day work week. We enjoyed a nice relaxing Memorial Day weekend with my parents here. Shopping, BBQ'ing hanging out with the boys, and Dad and I losing a ton of cribbage. D-man really enjoyed his time with Pop and I think he'll have a great time in Pender when we go in July.

That's What I Get

I was trying to get a video of T-man throwing something and then telling himself "no no no". Well, you can see what I get for trying to get him to do things he's not supposed to.......

Vegas Baby!

Marshall and I had a wonderful trip to Vegas without the kids last weekend. We really enjoyed the time together to just focus on us. We enjoyed walking around and checking out all the construction and new casinos, cheap beers on the strip, time at the pool, poker for Marshall, and nickel slots for me (I won $50 in one spin!). Thanks to our sitter and great friends, we knew the boys were in great hands and we really enjoyed ourselves!

Mother's Day Breakfast

Every year, they have a little breakfast the boys' school for the kids and their moms. T-man ate quickly and was ready to run and play. D-man and I then had a nice breakfast and did some cards for Nana and Gramma after we ate. Was really nice. I'm very lucky to be a mom to such great boys.

Cinco de mayo

Well, it is the 5th of May and the start of another work week. We started the weekend with Friday night bowling with Tyson's. Was a great time for kids and adults (although the kids were definitely tired and ready to come home at 8:30). Saturday was soccer and lots of bonding time for the boys as I headed to the mountains for a girl's weekend in Vail. We stayed at the Vail Cascade resort and enjoyed spa treatments, yummy food, cocktails, and good conversation. Was a nice get-a-way.

D-man and I also headed to the store and picked up some plants and seeds to get our garden started. We planted tomatoes, cilantro, mint, rosemary, "hot peppers", a strawberry plant, and will be putting in some flower and pumpkin seeds later this week. Will be excited to see how our efforts turn out this year.

Go Cougs!

Although basketball season is over, we are happy to see that Tony Bennett will be remaining at Washington State for another year. Here we are in our Coug gear for the big games in the NCAA tourney games here in Denver. Go Cougs!

May Day Snow

Hard to believe, but we had a snowstorm on May Day here this year. It was 80 degress the day before. Wild, wild weather.

Were they on sale?

It's the small things that really make a mom proud. Today, I stopped by the store before I picked up the boys because I promised D-man we could make pizza tonight for dinner. I also remembered to pick up some napkins because we need them. In the car, D-man saw my purchases and noticed the napkins and then promptly asked, "Were they on sale"? Marshall and I must be training him well. :)
