Mud Brigade

Before the 1st annual Mud Brigade at The Ranch in Loveland.

Two nice and clean boys

Port-a potty run














Not So Clean










The dirty boys offered hugs...not so lucky! Even the kids said "No thanks"






Watching the special run from the service helpers of the community
Police & fire.
There was a military salute for the fallen soldiers from the Loveland
High School flag team


3 kids just waiting to jump in!











AHHHHHHH!! I am muddy!!!
Yes dear, when you play in muddy water, there is a chance you WILL fall in...















Soaking up all the mud and water he could get in before the next runners came through.


This was a fun event and not too crowded. I am glad Liza and her boys were there to keep us company while the boys ran. The kids played in the jump house, plans were made for all of us adults to do it next year ;/

Best start and stay training...

rewind time-please

I have been so busy lately, I am getting behind on blogging. I tried posting pics a couple times-had no luck. What have we been doing?

Getting lesson plans done, classroom ready, students-(check)

{shaving cream numbers} Preschool started!

Pie tin color sorting ~just a few of the fun things preschoolers do.

Andon started hockey!

Notice the shoulder pads....

Andon was super excited for his 2nd day of practice that he got ready RIGHT after school.
Ate snack in his gear. At the table, Kendall says

"Andon....why do you look so strong?" LMAO

He says all serious.."I have lots of gear on"


Dad takes him to practice 2 days a week.





Cub Scouts started back up since my last post, I am planing for that every week, Back to school night took 2 evenings out of my week-planning and helping with the movie night and PTO has kept me BUSY! I had to coodinate lots of volunteers for school, had a meeting the same night I have scouts-about the same time too. I could have used a clone that night. Thank goodness for friends :) Birthday parties every week for 3 weeks now.
Kendall is in Girl Scouts, Devin has riding lessons, religion class started-somewhere in the mix of ALL this I need to find time to workout again ;)







Goofing off after hockey practice

Labor day weekend, we ended the weekend with a family reunion!

Paddle boats on the pond,

Bubbles, volleyball, soccer, tag



and just running in the field






catching frogs by the pond, he caught 3 frogs, one got lose, then he got 2
On the way home Monday, One went MIA.
I think it got ate by a BIG, Creepy grasshopper that was suspose to be dinner for the frogs.
When we got home, we only had 1 frog. Needless to say, I had a sad little boy.

Sharon and I planned to take my mom out to Rooftops for dinner at 4:00, we went to pick her up and while driving there, we kept talking, getting distracted, and talking more. Sharon turned around at the park. My mom noticed my van and says "whats going on here"-SURPRISE!!

Tradition-breakfast with a candle(Saturday morning after the sleepover)
PRESENTS!! Dad and mom got him new cowboys boot--and YES he is worried about style!
I told him it is OK to wear the boots with shorts-(I've seen country singers do it-even the guys).


Birthday Theme party


Truly a Boys Only Night
Little sis had a sleepover of her own at Cailyn's house

and from what I understand...They had fun dancing, jumping, being girlie girls and went to a parade!!

I took these boys bowling
{please notice the flashback party - 4 years old
You may or may not notice the SAME kids in the pictures}





Getting ready to bowl.
After bowling we went home, Deon made pizzas, opened presents, played/built Lego's, at 9:00 at night, they were ready for cake.
More playing time and lights and movie went off at 11:30, I was going to bed.
I woke up at quarter til 1:00 from a scream-the BOYS WERE STILL UP...
Devin had a great birthday party-Thursday was his actual Birthday and he chose Camachos. He wore a sombro and got a Mexican dessert!
