hot days

We had some pretty hot days last week. The boys had a great time spending the day in the kiddie pool all together. Issabelle and I watched  from the living room. This was the first time she was hanging out in a one piece shorty. Her arms, legs and toes are all so cute!

on mother's day

We spent the day at home. My boys made their Mama a nice breakfast. Fresh squeezed juice,  a healthy smoothie, a most delicious yogurt parfait and chocolate chip scones.

Then there was work to be done so we can stay warm in the winter. Always looking ahead. The rest of the day it rained.  We played a game, knitted a bit and just relaxed. Eric made a big dinner with lots of yummy food. I haven't been sleeping so well lately so I was off to bed early. But this is where I love to be... home with my family.

baseball begins

The season has started. It is always fast and furious. 6 weeks. 15 games. Our evenings during the week can be a bit rough since we have two little ones who should be asleep by 7:30. The games last until 8:00. Most nights I leave early as long as Eric can make it to the game. Dinners have been less than stellar. I am trying to find some good salads to keep us going through the next few weeks.

It is just Landon this time around. He has moved up to the minor leagues and is loving it. He has been trying out pitching and doing pretty well with it. My little guy is not so little any more :(

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all you mothers a lovely day.

needle felted ninjas

One afternoon there was a flurry of activity with the needles. The boys were on a mission to create something for an upcoming fiber show they want to enter. William came up with a guy and then they both ended up created something similar to one another.

Pictured here is Landon's gang of ninja's.

new wheels

The boys had been so eager to get down the tricycle for Harkin. It was early April when we had our first nice day and so it came down from the attic and they all had a great time going around the driveway. Since then it has become a daily routine where Harkin gets his push around. Hoping by the end of summer he may have the whole pedal thing down. We'll see.
