Random Sleeping Ben Pictures

I mean is there anything more sweeter and cute than a sleeping baby?! I think not!

Rocket Launch

Brayden and I attempted to go outside at the time of the launch for the rocket but unfortunately the sky was too cloudy so we weren't able to see any of it. 

Family Bike Rides

The weather has been beautiful and to get the kids out of the house and off electronics during the day we have been doing a nightly family bike ride!

We go about two miles, the same route (passed the burn house as Ben says) and he pees in the same spot every ride.

Few minutes of fresh air is always good for the soul!

Ben's First Friend Sleepover

Ben had his first friend spend the night and boy was he happy.

My best friend Tracy's son Coen came to spend the night with us! They enjoyed playing together and eating breakfast.

The first picture is the two of them and the second picture is Brayden with my friend Tracy's other son Cade years ago!

Friendships all in the making!

Summer Summer Time

We've been spending lots and lots of time in the pool with friends lately!

It's been making for some tanned boys, lots of laughter and some good sleep!!

Mother's Day 2020

Mother's Day 2020 was a nice quiet day spent with my favorite boys!

We started the weekend having a nice Mother's Day with lunch with Jake's mom and sister at their house. It was a nice day of playing outside with the kids and enjoying the time together.

Mother's day morning we started the day at Tracy's house to celebrate Cade's 10th birthday with Kona Ice. We then went back home to celebrate with my Mom and Jake ended up having to work so I ended my Mother's Day over at Tracy's celebrating with my boys and wonderful mommy friends!

Simple days are sometimes the best days!

Poison Ivy

Amidst of the craziness of the Covid-19, we had a horrible case of poison ivy on Bransen's face. This is the first time I have ever encountered anything with poison ivy. His eye was almost swollen shut  and his face was swollen.

A quick trip to the Urgent Care and some oral steroids, he was back to looking like the handsome boy he is.

Now to learn to stay away from the poison ivy in the lot next door!

Beaches Re-Open

Finally after many many weeks of the Covid and the beaches being closed they were finally re-opened and we were able to enjoy some fun in the sun and sand with some of our best friends!

Weekend of FUN

I, we, everyone was tired of being stuck inside. It was a week when we had all the kids so I ended up looking into getting a bounce house for a few days to get the kids outside and off those electronics! Well I found one, had it delivered on Thursday and picked up Sunday night!  The boys were thrilled with excitement. Patiently awaiting by the front door as it was being set-up to run straight to the slide.

The neighborhood kids were over all weekend and on Saturday we had a little get together. Kona Ice made a trip by, we enjoyed pizza, lots of soap on the slide and TONS of laughter with all our friends!

Virtual School

For the last nine weeks of school, we have gone completely virtual. The first week was rough, real rough! Teachers were using different platforms, sites were being overloaded and crashing and everyone was confused! Our days were filled with zoom meetings and getting a chance to see the teacher and friends.

As the weeks went on and everyone got in more of a routine everything started flowing smoothly. Bransen has a set of daily work everyday while Brayden was given his work on Monday and was due on Friday!

We survived! It wasn't easy or pretty at times, but we survived! I'm proud of these boys. They tackled something out of the ordinary and flew with it!
