Week #20 {2017}

Whew!  This week was SUPER DUPER busy.  Get ready for a ton of pictures.

Sunday was Mother's Day.

Monday Rylan looked just like Dylan.

I'm loving my Magnolia bag my sister got for me while she was in Texas graduating {way to go Davese!}.

We showed up to Payton's Field Day.  She was tired, soaking wet and completely happy.

That night Dylan had his last orchestra performance of the year.

Then they were awarded pins for their win at Dollywood last week.

Our freeway walls are pretty spectacular...and that sunset isn't too shabby either!

Payton had brought home some of her artwork from this year and I was pretty impressed with what she had done!

Tuesday was Dylan's End of the Year awards ceremony. Ry spotted Dylan as they were filing in.  He walked all casually over to him, with his hands in his pockets.  When Dylan spotted him, Rylan took off in a full run and hugged him.  It was such a sweet moment.

Dylan's cheering section...

He received an award for his Duke Tip scores.

I took him home after the ceremony (it ended at 10am and practically everyone was being checked out of school, so I joined the bandwagon) and we went to Gigi's for Dylan to mow her lawn,

and Ry helped Gigi in the yard.

While they were busy, I ran up to Payton's school to celebrate her summer birthday with her class.

My girl.

Wednedsay I went back to Payton's class to watch her "Teacher of the Day" presentation.

She taught the class how to make Daisy Chains and made countdowns to the last day of school.

Stinky boy.

Tired boy.

Thursday - These two irritate the snot out of each other...but then have these sweet moments too.

Friday was another beautiful sunrise.

I dropped Dyl off at school and Payton was passed out in the back seat.  They had pajama day today so she just scooted from her bed to the car this morning.

I heard screaming outside and looked out to see that Bombi had Rylan trapped.  Hahahaha!

Dylan brought me in a "flower" {aka weed}.  It is beautiful though!

Saturday we decided to take Bombi with us to Rylan's t-ball practice.  He's grown a bit since we first brought him home.

And he wouldn't sit still.

The kids thought it was hilarious.

Little man (black shirt, blue hat) loves his t-ball practices!

Later we were walking the property and Rylan ran back to the house to get my phone because he wanted me to take his picture on this log...and he wouldn't let me help him up there. {#bigboy}

Dylan's friend, Nico, came over.  I was laughing because they were being so quiet and I realized that the boys were watching the tv through the mirror behind Payton and Rylan.

And here's the beautiful end of a whirlwind week!

Week #17 {2017}

Sunday was freezing {!}, so I put on my daddy's sweater to keep warm.  I'm so thankful for things like this that remind me of him.

Dinner was a yummy Cobb Salad {when I meal planned, this cold front WASN'T in the forecast!}.

Monday Ry was exhausted and fell asleep on the way to TKD.  It's tough work turning 5!

This was our sunset.  It was SO MUCH more beautiful in person.

Tuesday morning was a wee bit foggy.

Ry guy had a sweet snuggle buggler when I got home from school drop off.

That evening, when the kids and I got home from school, Chris had picked up his new "toy"and had already mowed part of the yard.... 

For dinner I made Deluxe BBQ Chicken Pizza.

After dinner, Chris went back out to mow some more. {Think he likes it?}

While he mowed and the kids played, I sat on the swing and watched the sunset.

Wednesday morning, I had some work to do and Rylan sat here for THREE hours putting together his Lego set.

He took a picture of the finished product!

Bombi keeps growing and loves to play!

Thursday was Gigi's birthday, I told her I was going to take her to lunch and surprised her with a bunch of her friends waiting there to celebrate with us! I love you momma!

Ry was super excited to get a package from Auntie D, that had some more of his favorite "pew pew" dressing.

While we were at TKD, Chris called to tell us that he finally saw the snake in the barn!  Dylan and I saw it a couple of days after we moved in, but no one had seen it since.  So we walked down to the barn to check it out.

This was what he had left behind.  {shiver!}

The sunset was amazing yet again.

And the kids stayed up way past the littles bedtime having a blast on the swing.  I LOVE nights like this!

Friday after dropping Dylan off at school, Payton and I went to the park to workout before her school started.  Payton took this photo of the sky.

That night I dropped the little off at Gigi's...

so I could go on a date with this guy.

After a yummy Mediterranean dinner, we headed to Dylan's orchestra concert.

There were a TON of orchestra kids there from the local middle and high schools.  They all had learned the same songs and played all together.  It was pretty cool.

Can you find Dylan {and his buddy Nico} in the picture below?

Saturday morning,

started early with projects.... we will always have projects at this house!

I went to pick up the littles who spent the night at Gigi's,

and then we stopped at the best donut shop in the area!

Payton and Rylan brought me the sweetest "flowers" from the yard.

That night we had the Schmidt's over for dinner.  While we were walking around the yard, I said to Jennifer, "Hey have you seen the bird nest?"  She peeked in and was shocked because one of the eggs was ACTUALLY hatching!  We all got to watch it.  It was amazing.  I hope the kids will remember it forever.
