Mother's Day

Mother's Day is a great day to honor all the women in the world. I have so many amazing women role models in my life that I try to emulate, including my own mother.
My Mother's Day was wonderful. It started with breakfast in bed...I have to say, the breakfast is getting better with each year. When we were first married, breakfast in bed was a bowl of oatmeal. Now? ...scrambled eggs, just the way I like them, waffles, toast, and a tall glass of orange juice. Not bad....
Above are all the wondeful hand-made gifts..I love them! What's funny is that it seems like yesterday I was making the hand-made gifts at school.

Nana R. was watching some grandkids over Mother's Day weekend. So, we had them up for dinner. Nana R. is a wonderful mother and Nana. Here are all the kids ready for a 4 wheel ride...don't worry, they didn't really ride like this... :)

Rhett surprised me with an "itouch". Though I enjoy this fun little gadget, the kids have soon taken over. Maybe I shouldn't have downloaded so many kid apps. Anyway, Bridger is quite a natural with it. He, and the others, call it the "black game". I found Bridger like this the other day, playing his favorite ABC app.

Hope all you wonderful ladies had a fabulous mother's day!

This and That

We went to Bozeman, Montana last weekend for our nephew's baptism. Though we didn't take any pictures there (sad to say), we did see some wildlife on our way home. The kids thought it was so cool to see a bear walking along the highway, as well as some buffalo.

Hailey had her first official swim meet with her new swim team. She swam the 25m freestyle and 25m backstroke. She did really well. I am amazed at how much she has improved over the past year.

Bronson's new love...the saucer. This saucer has been through all five kids. It has saved my sanity. :)

Bridger has been wanting to "hold Baby" a lot lately. It's really cute, though Bronson is almost as big as Bridger is...and I think their heads are the same size.

This is a typical site at our home. All three boys lined up at the bar, eating their mac and cheese before heading off to school. Their conversations usually consist of their food being healthy so they can run faster and have BIG muscles.

Rhett loves living in the mountains..mostly for the immediate access to wildlife. Across the street is a stream where Rhett loves taking the kids fishing. They caught a nice looking trout. Now I just need to learn how to cook it....

Our spring break consisted of snow (below), swimming at an indoor pool, movies, Nickel arcade, and everything else in between. I really enjoyed not having to be anywhere...just taking it easy.

Bronson found his toes...he is quite flexible.
