We got a trampoline for Christmas and it has been the BEST PURCHASE EVER!!!  We have had so much fun on that thing every day!!

What a cute picture of these boys, while waiting to pick up Calvin at school...makes me smile!!

The Simple Joys of life!  Oh I love boys!!

Calvin wanted to paint my hand :)...if something so simple can make him so happy...I'm IN!

Calvin earns money and lately has been wanting to spend all his money at the walmart fun center :p

Livin' it up in the great outdoors!  Best Dad Ever :)

I took Jordan and Wyatt to Freestone park while the big boys were at school.  We had a picnic, fed ducks, went exploring, and played at the park.  It was lots of fun!

I had to add this picture of freestone park because Jordan's face cracks me up!

Calvin found out that I had taken Jordan and Wyatt to Freestone park and felt so left out, so I took him and Jordan back after school :).  It's my favorite park so we always have fun there...can't get enough :)

Story
I bought this sub sandwich for dinner.  There were 3 pieces so I gave one to Lyle, then split the other between me and the boys.  After we ate I asked Lyle if he wanted the last one.  He said, "I don't know if I have room in my tummy".
We went on talking about other things, but I looked over at Calvin and noticed him measuring his tummy, then the sandwich...I asked what he was doing, and he explained how he was measuring to see if indeed, Daddy really could fit the sandwich into his tummy :).
Hehe...children are the best!! 

Mary and Carson took Jordan and I to the zoo while Calvin was at school one day.  There was a baby orangutan there and we totally lucked out!!!  They came right up to the window as soon as we did and we got some great pics!  OMG it was ADORABLE!! 

Gotta share the love :)

I love taking Jordan shopping with me.  He feels like such a rock star "driving" these carts around!

We went to Bounce-U for Colt's daughter's birthday (really it was an excuse to see Mandy but it was awesome getting to see everyone!!)

I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!  What a dream I am living!!

I love how this cutie loves on this sweet little bunny bun bun. 

Jumpstreet!

December 2014

The Hinton's introduced us to the Light Parade in Phoenix.  It was a blast!
(An old lady tripped right behind us and her head was all bloody...paramedics came and it was pretty scary/crazy)

Calvin and Dylan made Gingerbread Houses at school

We went on a hike up South Mountain with the Hinton's one night.  What a beautiful view!

One of my favorite things lately is watching the birds outside the window as I do the dishes!  I am a lucky girl!

The Christmas Basket

Lyle setting up the big Christmas surprise

Thank you Grandma Barer!

The Wubble (Cool, but pretty much garbage)

 

Our sweet neighbor Barbara Clerkin spent a lot of Christmas with us!

Enjoying our Christmas surprise!  Go Calvin!!

Sharing our fun with friends always makes everything better :-)

Another Pizza Night with the Hinton's! Best pizza EVER!!! Mmmmmmm....

The kids enjoyed a movie in the Hinton's master bedroom, while the adults enjoyed watching funny video clips in the living room :-) 

Fun at the park 

(I think we were with Magnus and Tammy)

At the Dentist

This was Jordan's first time (I think) getting checked out.

Calvin was the best big brother to show him the ropes and help him get excited about it!

I just LOVE this picture.  I was up on the roof watching the sunset.  I was in aww that I am so lucky to have this view from my rooftop!  Blessed!!


Precious Moment

I love that his moment was captured!  Jordan wants so badly to be big like Calvin, and Calvin so kindly let him be a part of his homework.   I love their faces here...brotherly love...again, I am blessed!!!

At the park (behind Target) with the Driggs again.

Our favorite books from the library

 Leaf Party

We went to return books at the library and as I was driving away I happened to look across the street and see tons of autumn leaves on the ground!  I couldn't help but pull over and insist we have a LEAF PARTY!!!  We stayed for at least an hour and just had a blast with each other!

We went to Jaime's birthday party...the theme was John Cena.  They had a HUGE bounce house.

Someone at the party brought their new puppy and Calvin was so sweet and gentle with him!

Brianna loved Calvin so much!  He always watched out for her and took good care of her!

More fun with the Hinton's 

They were playing dinosaur here...Wyatt was the baby dino and Calvin was very serious about taking care of the sweet little baby :-)
