May is almost over!

The last parts of May were pretty good. I tried to get out to the park a few times and we visited Daddy at work while I went into the Chiropractor and just tried to enjoy the rest of the school year before summer started. 

Oh and we also found out that we are getting peaches this year!!!! YAY!!!! We got 4 peaches 2 years ago and they were delicious. Then last year we didn't get any. So we were hoping that we would get some this year. We didn't realize how many we had the potential to get this year. I went out to check the peach tree and saw this beauty. Then Brandon came a looked and we noticed a ton more. We never got our usual snow late in May so none of the blossoms died. So we may have a bunch this year which would be amazing!! We shall see what happens. At this point we are just excited to see that we will be getting some peaches this year! 

A little bit of park time!! The kids love going to the Twin Silos park and I don't mind it either. It is a fun park with lots to do. Plus it is closer than the Mammoth park. 

Emmett found a feather on a little bike ride/walk we went on. He thought it was pretty cool. It is pretty funny how much more of a germaphobe I am these days. I used to not even think about germs but when he picked up the feather and handed it to me I was a little grossed out. haha I need to stop being so weird! haha 

Gave this kid a hair cut outside before he went to preschool. They were having picture day and his hair was getting super long. So I decided to cut it in between going to the library for story time, eating lunch and preschool. I had to cut his hair pretty quick because we were running out of time. At least I managed to do it. He is just looking so grown up!! 

Nothing better than visiting Dad at work and having him read a story to the boys! haha 

Lastly, the Toys R Us near us is going out of business. So we went to look at some toys and see if there was anything worth while on sale. We ended up getting a small thing of hatchimals. For some odd reason Wyatt has been wanting to get these hatchimal toys. They are these eggs that have a tiny little creature animal thing inside. You have to make the egg hatch by rubbing it and after a little while the egg gets softer of the heart and you can break it open. haha The boys were super excited about it.  

We got a pack that had 4 eggs and one little animal in it. We let Emmett have the little animal that was not in the egg and then Ethan and Wyatt both got 2 eggs to hatch. They were so silly about it. 

Oh and our milk was basically gone one morning and I let Wyatt try drinking it from the carton. He thought it was super cool until he realized that he had to lift it super high to just get any out. 

Then Emmett wanted to try! haha I think I ended up pouring it into a little cup because they both couldn't tip it hight enough to finish it off. haha

The boys also got to go on the Father's and Sons this year. It was supposed to rain and have thunder and lightning and at first it got canceled. Then they secured a lodge up where they were supposed to be staying and so they got to go. The boys were super excited!! They didn't get to go last year so this was Emmett's first time going on the Fathers and Sons.

 They were so happy to be going with their Daddy. The nice thing is that they ended up being able to enjoy the evening because it didn't even start raining until later that night and in the morning. So they had lots of fun playing out in the mountains and spending time with their Dad.
I thought I was would excited to be solo for one night and be able to do whatever I wanted. Instead I was pretty sad to see them leave. They are my life and it felt weird to have them all gone for the evening. I made the most of it though and got invited to go to Chick Fil A with some friends and then I went to the Temple and then got some Panera Bread for myself and a Chick Fil A milkshake. Then ended the night with a movie and eating my dinner. So it wasn't too bad. I was just lonely! haha I don't do well on my own. haha Especially when my family is gone!

 That next week we went to costco and got some ice cream and on the way home Emmett made a little bit of a mess. haha He said, "Mom! Look I'm a mustache" haha What a silly kid!!

 Look at that cutie!! :-)

Wyatt had his last day of school on May 22nd. They were having a party and got to play out in the blow up water slide in the backyard and have pizza.

Wyatt was super excited. I was excited that the weather stayed nice for him to have his water party day for his last day of school. 

He has grown up so much. It is exciting and sad at the same time to see how big he is getting!!
He sure did love preschool but he is very excited to go to kindergarten next year!

The night of the preschool celebration I decided it would be yummy to do grilled pizza for dinner. Well.... I attempted it and failed....

 I failed 4 TIMES!!!! I tried grilling the pizzas and when I opened the grill after just a couple of minutes the flames from the grill for like 3 feet high. I had to turn off the grill and still the flames were going super high. The pizza was dead!! It took almost 10 minutes for the flames to go away. Then I tried to just grill a pizza on the grill with it turned off but still hot. Ya well that burned as well. So I gave up on the grilled pizza and I turned the oven on. I got the pizzas all prepped and in the oven when it was preheated. It said not he crust to cook them for 10 minutes. So I set my watch timer and went outside to watch Emmett and make sure he didn't get hit by a car. When I came it at the 10 minute mark I knew right away that the pizzas were burnt!! I had now burnt 4 pizzas! I called Brandon and told him which he then started laughing on the phone. haha It was quite funny and yet very frustrating! So now we had no dinner and we had to go pick up some Freddy's before going to Wyatt's preschool celebration! It made for a crazy evening that is for sure!! Not sure if I will be trying grilled pizzas again any time soon! haha

Field Day/Dad's and Donuts retake

The Friday before Mothers Day Ethan's school had their annual Field Day. Brandon was helping out with one of the stations so we decided to all go and have a picnic lunch with Ethan and then just hangout for the rest of the time. Before that however, we decided to break off and let Brandon take Wyatt out for some "Dads and Donuts" time. Since Brandon missed "Dads and Donuts" with Wyatt's preschool we thought it would be fun for them to have their own Dads and Donuts outing. So Brandon took Wyatt and I took Emmett out for some donuts as well. 

After donuts we got some lunches packed up and rode our bikes over to Bethke. 

We rode our bikes to Ethan's school. Emmett looked like such a stud with his sun glasses on! :)

Ethan was excited to see us and was even more excited to have some fun for field day. 

It was actually not that warm. We were not prepared for the windier weather that there was that day. So I played puppies with Emmett and we hid in the blanket and pretended to sleep and to hide. He sure looks grumpy in this picture. haha I believe this was his sad puppy face! haha 

Ethan seemed like he had a blast. Brandon had fun running one of the stations and I had an interesting time trying to keep Emmett occupied and happy and not bothering his Daddy. haha Luckily they had Kona Ice there and so I went and bough Wyatt and Emmett a snow cone and they enjoyed that. The rest of the time Emmett ran around on the play ground and Wyatt sat near Brandon's station and watched/tried to play. haha It was fun but we were super ready to leave by the time it was over. 

Mothers Day

Mothers Day this year was pretty great!! Brandon made breakfast casserole that morning and the boys were super excited to say Happy Mothers Day to me. Wyatt even prompted his brothers to sing Happy Mothers Day to me to the tune of Happy Birthday. haha It was super cute! I seriously felt so loved. Normally they act out more than usual on Mothers Day but they were actually being super good this year which made me enjoy Mothers Day even more! 

The kids colored some pictures for me and Brandon let me sleep in later which was lovely. Then church was really good and after church I got a nap and we had some yummy fajitas for dinner. I was super spoiled this year and I couldn't have felt more love. These 3 crazy boys try my patients pretty much on a daily basis. However, I have so much love for them words can't describe. They are each so different and yet have their similarities. I feel so blessed to be their Mom and that my Heavenly Father has enough trust in me to send these 3 precious little boys into my life!! I couldn't imagine my life without them in it. I wish I could hold on to them and keep them little forever. My life is these 3 boys and their amazing Daddy. Life would be incomplete without them and definitely a lot more boring! Happy Mothers Day!! 

Mothers Tea

Then on Thursday May 10th I was able to go to Mothers Tea with Ethan at his school. I dropped off Wyatt and Emmett at a friends house and then headed to Ethan's school. Sadly, I got to the program just a few minutes late and they had already started singing. I had tried to squeeze in the library and getting firehouse subs for me and Ethan to have for lunch at his school. So I didn't get there exactly on time. But I still got there and was able to hear Ethan sing some songs and say his little part. It was super cute!

Ethan did a great job. It was a short part but he still had to memorize it and he did a great job!!

After the program we went on the grass and at lunch together. 

Nothing like eating some yummy firehouse subs together and sharing a yummy chocolate chip cookie! 

After that we went and played some "knock out" with some other kids on the playground. 

Ethan kept wanting to get me out. I went 3 rounds and then he finally got me out. Before we knew it time was up and he had to go back to class and I had to leave. As we walked back to where Ethan lines up Ethan grabbed my hand and then he started getting all upset. I thought he was upset because of some of the other kids that were not being very nice but when I asked what was wrong he said that he didn't want me to leave. It just melted my heart that he was sad because I was leaving. He wanted me to stay with him the rest of the day! Sure made me feel loved that he wanted me to stay and was fighting back the tears when I had to leave!! It was a great afternoon spending time with just Ethan!! Sure do love this kid!! 

Moms and Muffins

On May 9th I was able to go to "Moms and Muffins" with Wyatt at his preschool. I was super excited to be able to go and have some time with just Wyatt at his school. I had Emmett play at a friends house so I could devote that time to just Wyatt. When I got to school Wyatt gave me the biggest hug and thanked me for coming and said that he was so happy that I came. It was so cute! I told him, "I wouldn't miss it for the world." Then we sat on the floor and did some puzzles while we waited for other moms to arrive. Once everyone was there Wyatt lead me to my seat where I found a cute apron that he had made for me that had his hand prints in the shape of a flower. Then the kids lined up and sang us some songs. 

They were cute songs!! Wyatt sang so well and he just looked so cute standing up there singing to me. He was so happy and excited to sing these songs to me. 

After some lovely songs the kids came over and gave us massages! haha It was so funny!! 

Sure do love this kid!!! 

After massages Wyatt went over and got me a drink of water and a chocolate muffin and then we ate them together and just enjoyed being together. 

While we ate our delicious muffins Wyatt's teacher Mrs. Christina read to us what the kids said for their "All about Mom" papers. It was super cute!!! 

Here is the other little thing that Wyatt made for me! :-) 

I only put this picture on here because the way I am kneeling makes me look like I am super short because of how the apron sits. haha 

Such a cute apron! I love it!! 

I was so glad to be able to go to Moms and Muffins with Wyatt. He is such a sweet boy and has such a tender heart. On our way home I told him that I loved him so much and he said he loved me more. It was nice to be able to tell him how much I love him as we rode our bikes home together just us two. My heart felt so full of love that day as he showed me and told me how much he loved me too. He told me I was the best mom ever. It was a very sweet experience and I am glad I got to share it with him! Sure do Love being a Mom to this sweet boy!
