Memorial Day

We spent our Memorial Day as any red-blooded American family would. We visited the cemetary...

And then spent the day at Cabela's practicing our shooting. 

Wheeler Farm

Summer seemed to bloom late this year, so when it finally warmed up we took the twinners to Wheeler's Farm. These boys LOVE animals. I don't know where they get it from because I am not exactly an animal lover, but they can't get enough of furry critters. 

 Wilson would literally jump out of his stroller and touch any animal he could reach.

 Ben was so mad that Tyler wouldn't let him inside the sheep pen.

If we didn't live in such a tiny place I would be a wonderful mother and get them a pet. Maybe next year little ones.

Mexico 2011

I've been up to my neck workin' 6 days a week
Wearin holes into the shoes on my feet

Been dreamin of gettin away since I don’t know
Aint no better time than now..for Mexico

Want a towel on a chair in the sand by the sea
Want to look through my shades and see you there with me

Want to soak up life for a while
In laid back mode

No boss, no polite, no stress, no dress code
Babe lets get packed..tank tops and flip flops if you got them

No shoes, no shirt, no problems
Blues what blues..hey I forgot them

The sun and the sand

 and a drink in my hand with no bottom

No Shoes

No Shirt

No Problems!!

Let's Hear it for the Boys!

Benjamin and Wilson are FULL of personality. Watching them grow up is such an exhausting delight!

Whenever Daddy has on his hat, they must put on their hat too. They love to be just like Daddy.

 Always the problem solvers, they are not to be deterred by simple obstructions.

 If they could talk, they would always be asking "What's that?" They must be included in all family activities, whether it be working on the computer, watching TV, household chores, doing Mom's hair, or eating/drinking anything Mom and Dad have.

 Always innovative and always up for a laugh. At times our house seems too small, alas, improvisation is the order of the day!

 Sunglasses or other "cool" accessories are a must. 

Benjamin and Wilson...you light up my life.

Mother's Day 2011

I love Mother's Day!! I woke up to a delicious breakfast made by my handsome personal chef. Got to hear all about how wonderful I am in Tyler's sacrament talk. Spent the day with these two cute munchkins and ate at one of my favorite places for dinner! Eating out, no prep and no clean up! Sigh...love my men!

 Wilson loved the fire

 Ben was not so sure!

My Best Friend's Wedding

I was so excited that I not only got to attend the Royal wedding this year, but was actually officially part of the wedding party. Joey and Page are the cutest newlyweds on the block! I love you two!

 The "groomsmaids"

 Me and my handsome boys!

Mary Poppins

I am so lucky to have our cousin Britt watch the boys while I go to school. She is such a doll and we ALL love her to pieces!

Easter Egg Hunt

Noni and Papa's annual Easter Egg Hunt was a bit more exciting this year. The twins slept through last year's hunt, but were more than willing to find candy this year!
