All Boy!!!!

Today was such a beautiful day we couldn't help but stay outside for the majority of it. When we were cleaning up we found this poor little lizard in the trumpet vines. So we caught it for the boys and put it in the wagon and they played with him for at least 45 minutes straight!!! Who would have thought! Tad was the one that got the biggest kick out of it, he wanted so bad to pick it up but just couldn't make himself. It was funny. Eventually he grabbed it by the tail and carried it around with him (by the tail) for ever. Finally I distracted him enough to rescue the lizard and put it back in the vines. I get such a kick out of what they think is the coolest thing in the world.

Happy Mothers Day!!!!

I was reading Janae's post on her mothers day and I feel like I to should express how grateful I am that I am a mom. Today in sacrament meeting Sister Lunt, our relief society president gave a talk on motherhood. How sacred and divine our calling as mothers is. She shared a story about her daughter with us that just made me cry! (If any of you know me, it doesn't take much to do that!) She said her daughter was born a natural nurturer. She always had baby dolls around and was always taking care of them. All she wanted to do was be a mother. Marla said she told her once that she should have a hundred babies and she would set up cribs all over the house for them and she would help take care of them. Her daughter got married and soon found out that she would be a mother to a little boy. She was having problems and she said on a very cold December day her husband and her had to leave the hospital knowing that they would never hold that little baby in their arms. It broke my heart. The thought of not having my two beautiful children in my life is more than I can even imagine. I am so blessed to have them in my life. I am so grateful I have such an amazing mom that has helped me in raising my boys and everything else in my life. I can only hope that I can raise my children to be outstanding young men. To be strong members of the church and to hold the priesthood with honor. To all of you mom's that look at my blog, you are amazing women and I am so blessed to have you in my life! Thank you for all of your support and love and help. Your motherly instincts aren't only for your children, you have used them to help me at some point. Thank you and I hope you had a happy mothers day!

My very first game!!!!

For my birthday this year, Joe asked what I wanted and I told him that I had never been to a live baseball game and I have always wanted to go. So he took me to the game this weekend!!!!! It was a blast, I loved it! Here are some pictures from the game! They are just random, I don't even know who is in two of them!

You would think. . .

You would think a broken leg would scare this little boy. Not Darrell, Fearless Superman! The very thing that gave him his broken leg was his favorite hide out the other night. It was funny right after his broken leg he would walk over to the cement mixer and point to it and say ouchie, ouchie and just leave it alone. I think he has overcome his fear. What do you think?

How does your garden grow?

We decided we were sick of our yard looking so dead so we took back everything that we weren't going to use for the remodel and used the money to buy Flowers! I am so excited to have something pretty in the middle of my mess! Tad loves the grass that we bought. All he wants to do is run his fingers through it. He is so silly. I am loving his little personality right now.
This was a very special, one of a kind flower that is so rare that we are the only ones in the world that has one!
It grows at a very rapid pace. We got it planted and within seconds that little flower just shot right up! All it took was a little love and talkin' to.

Heaven Sent!

This is on of my favorite pictures and one of my favorite poems that I heard when I was first pregnant with Tad. Just thought I would share it....





Precious ones-so small, so sweet,
Dancing in on angels feet.
Straight from Heaven's brightest star,
What miracles you two are.

I have decided that our blog is for everyone that is having a bad day. They look at our life and they can't help but laugh. Who knew that life would get so fun after having kids. Don't get me wrong I love my baby's but they can be a handful a lot of the time! Lindsey commented that I probably get good rest at the end of the day, I get such good rest that I don't even feel both of the boys climb into bed with us. Any help with how to keep your kids in their room all night would be greatly appreciated. They go to bed in their bed but at some point in the night they quietly sneak into our room and very carefully sneak into our bed. Seriously, I have no idea how or when they got there when I wake up in the morning.
This picture is of my dear little Tadlet! His brother thought he needed his hair washed. So he washed it with Desitin diaper rash ointment. It took forever for me to get this water resistant "STUFF" off of his head. He didn't mind though he just laughed. Poor little boy. I can see this is the first of many crazy things his big brother is going to talk him into letting him try!
