my hot and nerdy boy scout husband

All the boys in our troop plus LeAnna...I'm not quite sure what LeAnna is doing in the picture.
Nice farmer's tan.

Catalina island

There's the cutest boy scout in all the world.

HE had an awesome week.

I had the LONGEST WEEK OF MY LIFE!

Sometimes life isn't fair.

I'm hoping Spencer will post more about his trip...we'll see.

25 weeks old

Happy birthday 2 Maren!!

Spencer will be spending the entire week here for Scout Camp ....

May the week go by quick for both of us!

I'll be staying with my parents for half the week.

So glad they are close.

By the way, here's a recent shot of his hands.

They look better and better each day. Still a little blotchy, but they're getting better.
That's dirt under his nails.

A new theory about maren's "no, daddy do it" stage

I believe that the reason why Maren asks for Daddy to do things for her when I want to do them, or when I'm about to do them, is because she wants all the control. She wants to get her way.

She's just manipulating Mom.

She's tricky.

But, at least I know she loves me too.

Maren.

Same dress. It's so weird to see Maren wearing Taylor's old clothes.

It's seems like a few months ago that Taylor was wearing them.

Bizarre. Time flies.

kindergarten grad

mrs. katz and Taylor

Isn't she cute and so grown-up?

Here's some clips from the kindergarten graduation.

I can't believe it...

I had my firstborn graduate from something!

happy Mother's Day to me

I must say that Spencer did a great job this year for M's day (some years are better than others). I got about 70 bulbs to plant in the yard. Woo-hoo!
And Taylor made this for me at school.
She cleaned her room, took out the trash, and made her bed.
Happy mom's day to me!

bring on the heat!

The kids are ready for some summer fun.
