We're Lucky

It's cool to look out your window and see your Dad plowing the field across the street from your house. Will saw Brandon out there and ran to get his boots on to go ride with him.

He is sure making lots of dust! I was out on the lawn moving the hose around to irrigate, and I had to cover my face so I didn't inhale the thick dust. Then I ran to close the garage doors. If I hadn't grown to appreciate Farmers I would be cursing him right now. Haha. The wind is blowing the dust right to my house!

But I am grateful Brandon works so close to home, and Willie can go with him whenever he wants to.

I consider us lucky.

Kalyssa's Game

This is Kalyssa's 2nd year playing soccer, and she still loves it. She is on a new team with a new coach. He's really positive and encouraging to the girls, so Kalyssa likes him.

She is sitting out this quarter.

Getting the half-time game plan.

Kalyssa scores a goal, but the referee calls her off sides, so it doesn't count. :o(

Game over. Kalyssa's team wins their first game!

Good game hi-five's.

Kalyssa and I have been practicing soccer together in our yard this week. She is a fast learner. I can tell she was more confident this game.

Silly Willy

The kids each got a dum dum sucker at the pharmacy. Will fell asleep with it in his mouth on the way home, but it didn't fall out. It's just resting there between his lips. :)

Nature Golf

We all have a different color bandanna tied to a stick. It is our "golf ball" for a game of  Nature Golf for FHE. 

We started in the field across the street to enjoy nature as we play. I picked a bush that would be "hole #1". We threw our sticks and Baylee kept track of how many throws it took each of us to get to the "hole".

When we all made it to that hole, Baylee picked the next marker to throw to.

The twins didn't throw their sticks far. They mostly carried them and followed us around.

She's adorable. :)

Everyone had a turn picking the next hole.

Abbee is trying to beat Ruby to her stick. LOL. Ruby keeps going after it when she throws it.

Our trampoline was the last hole. Baylee was the winner. :)

I made the kids a strawberry smoothie. Bay and Will say, "Cheers".

Emmy is feeding Paisley her smoothie. Haha. They're funny.

Will's 1st Field Trip!

Will has been talking about this field trip to the Dinosaur Park for two weeks now. He is really excited it's finally time to go! 

We're supposed to meet at the park, and when I pulled in Will starts crying, saying it's not the dinosaur park Lana took him to with Ryder. THAT made me laugh!!! When Lana took Will & Ryder to the "Dinosaur Park" it was really McDonald's play land. She took them to eat lunch first and ran into a few potty issues and never made it to the dinosaur park afterwards, but the boys had the time of their lives, and just figured McDonald's is the dinosaur park. 

Well, I got Will out of the car and assured him this IS the dinosaur park. Then I started to wonder why I was the only one there. OMGosh! It hits me! The joke is on me, cause I went to the Nature Center instead. The dinosaur park is farther down the road! I knew that! I have no idea where my brain is today. I buckle Will back into his booster and take him to the "real" dinosaur park. Sorry Willie, you're mother is a goof ball.

When I got there, I could tell he was worried again that it wasn't the dinosaur park. I quickly told him, "Gordo is here!", and that was all he needed to hear. He loves his best friend Gordo. Then we saw Teacher Andrea and his other classmates, and he was really happy to be there.

Will is covering his mouth cause the T-Rex just roared. LOL.

He is so cute and having a good ol' time exploring the museum.

Will said, "Him's dead."

We went outside to walk around the park.

There is a cricket on the back of this little dinosaur.

Will got on like a cowboy...

"Yee-haw!"

Will said that duck is "quhuge".

There's a fun tree slide the boys played on.

There is a window at the top.

Their class met inside for a craft. 

They colored dinosaur visor hats.

Posing for a class picture.

The kids are roaring like a dinosaur. :)

We went outside for a snack. You can tell Fernando wants one of Will's crackers. LOL.

Will shares with him, of course. These two have always got along.

Isamar, Gordo, Will, and Me. 

Isamar is my good friend. I love that our boys are the same age.

The boys are feeding the ducks fish food I think. Haha.
