Sunshine, crazy and more!


 We have had some fun and CRAZY these last 2 weeks... sometimes it seems our lives pause at night while we sleep and then from eye open until eye close it's simply GO!! :O It can be so exhausting.. but what would I change?! What do you take out?! I'm not sure... so hence we live and love the crazy! :)


Madison earned her 12 mile club! So she ran 70 laps (and then some) at the park and gets to enjoy a fun awesome day at The Reef which is a really awesome and fun water park in Billings! :) 






Mason and I spend a little time each day learning something... this time it was colors... ;) He's just so fun and Love having some 1:1 time with him while sissy is at school. :)





 
My challenge group is keeping me honest and working hard to hit some goals! Some days are definitely easier than others.. but the whole accountability sure keeps me honest and pushing... which I simply love and need.... it's super easy to push the "Me" things back and off my plate as it's already over flowing... but when I DO take care of myself first... things go SO much better.. and I'm happier and my family reaps the benefits!

I was quite proud of my unintentional quail look.... Not sure I could ever make it happen again! LOL



This little "reel" you'll see here is from an AWESOME and fun sewing kit! SO... there is the fact that I hate sewing.. and well have negative desire to teach Madison how to... enter this kit.... teaches some awesome basics and makes it fun and simple! Which is a win for EVERYONE.. you'll see her step by step through the process and check out her faces... I'm so in love! She's such a rockstar... she Made the turtle first as she is getting ready to make a fun package for her teacher at the end of school. :)




















Finished Product and So proud of herself! And I was too! What a champ! :) 

This is redneck in full swing ;) Brian tied the mower to the CRF 50 and was quite impressed with himself...  no it didn't mow well... no I don't think it's a good activity and no I won't let Madison try it. ;) 



And then there is this..... It's quite the story.. but just imagine... MUD... WATER... DIRTY.... and needing to eat prior to bathing as it was spaghetti.... Hence this scenario.
I wish I could tell you things like this didn't happen often... but... well.... let's just leave that one hanging in the air ;) 



 The Dentist!! Both kids did great and no cavities and Mason even tolerated a full cleaning! What a CHAMP! He didn't want a bib but rather wanted his blanket... but I was pretty impressed with him letting her brush, floss, pick and clean. Both kids rocked that seat this time ;) Next time we have X-rays... and well.. last time it was a tragedy and a very traumatic experience... so we will enjoy the happy for awhile.






Mason hasn't been taking naps and either the need for sleep caught up with him... or he had too much fluoride from the dentist... He slept almost all day and was as pleasant as could be, but just was tired ALL day... It started under the table where I found him.. (notice his cute little hand cradling his head) I moved him to the couch.. then he went upstairs to go to the bathroom and just crashed on his bed! Poor guy... being 4 can be exhaust apparently!





Booth at the Zoo #2! I love my Zoo booth and while it wasn't my best booth... the weather was awesome and I got my fill of sunshine and then we were able to head out and do some fun things with just Madison... we saw all the animals at the zoo, ate some good food, went riding! Made the day a total smashing success and Just AWESOME!



Trying out her selfie skills!












Brian mowed some tracks at the plant so we were able to go ride and have some fun... Madison raced both Brian and I and started cheating by cutting corners... I may or may not have been the first to cut corners ;) Soooooo might be myself showing her the competitive side of things ;) 

Mason went to UT with Grandma & Grandpa and is coming back on Tuesday... so we have been having some awesome fun with just Madison. It's really great to have some one on one time with each kiddo... and super excited to do a little switch and let Mason have some one and one.

Love my fun awesome family! As the kids are getting older we are able to do more things spontaneously (and I use this term very lightly) but it's become easier and so much fun!

As summer approaches it gets me excited for all our adventures and fun things we will do! 

I LOVE the sunshine!!! Yay for warm awesome weather!!! :)
