The Proposal!!!

Trey is a big Taylor Swift fan! He knows her songs he sings along with them and he has one song that he has saved for his little lady! I have been wanting to get a video of this for along time and I always forget! But today while we were having lunch "Love Story" came on and Trey sang his little heart out to his lady love!

He is so funny and yes he really did ask Sky to marry him and she turned him down! But that is not stopping the little man in pursuing her! He told me today that he would try again to get Sky to marry him! He is a persistent little fellow with a big time crush! I think that I'm going to have a little romeo on my hands when he gets older, what will I do? Richard likes to remind me that I was a little boy crazy back in the day so I'm probably just getting paid back......I hope that he is not worse than I was!

A Tree At Last!!!

We have been wanting to plant a tree in our front yard for a long time. I mean like years! When ever we decide that we are going to do it something else comes up or we waited to long. I was so surprised that Richard actually planted a tree! He was going to do it last week but then we had the flood that resulted in the big hole in the wall so it had to wait till this week! Last night we went and picked out the one that we wanted! I really wanted a red maple, the kind with the really dark red almost purple leaves! My Dad had them in his yard and I just love them they are so pretty! They give me that since of fall even when it is not! I don't know if that is really what Richard wanted but since he is the wonderful husband that he is he let me have what I wanted...because he is great like that!

This morning after we dropped Trey off at school we got to work. When I say we I mean Richard he is great like that also, not making me get all dirty for the sake of the tree planting! I just kicked back talked to the neighbors and took pictures to document!

We planted it in a big flower bed that I detest! It is covered in this horrible ground cover! There was a tree here before we moved here so he had to dig up a ton of roots, but it will make our front window nice and shady maybe in like 20 years!!!

Playing in the dirt! Do boys ever grow up!!!

Finally our tree is planted it only took like 5 years! It is going to look amazing some day but I think that it looks great right now! Richard has thoughtfully named in baby girl because it is a girl tree and that is probably as close as this house is ever going to get to having a baby girl in it! Hahaha!

I Want To Cry......

Remember about a month and a half ago how I was so proud about fixing the hole that had been in our wall for 3 years! I felt so accomplished for fixing it, getting it all painted and finally having a nice looking wall back! Well those days are over! Yesterday while I was gone with Trey on his field trip Richard turned the water back on to the outside of the house! The family room started to then flood! He shut the water back off and cleaned up the mess, but had to call the plumber! Richard had said that it was leaking behind a cedar chest that we have. I was a little relieved because I thought well at least when he has to cut a hole in the wall you won't be to see it! Well was a wrong!


Here is my beautifully done wall with another big hole in it! What a joke, didn't I just fix this mess!

And if that wasn't bad enough he also had to cut 2 holes in my newly revamped laundry room! That is why I want to cry......I hope that it doesn't take as long to fix this time!

Field Trip!!!

Today Trey's Preschool was going on a field trip to the Old Grist Mill to learn how bread is made! I had known about it for awhile and kept asking Trey if he wanted me to go as a Volunteer! He kept telling me no because he thought that I would embarrass him in front of his Girlfriend Sky! But finally at the last second he thought that it was a good idea! So I got to go and really see how he is at school! When we got to school we had a little bit of time before the class had to leave to go on the bus so that was neat to get to see him talking in his Spanish and watching him interact in class! He does so good with his Spanish and I wish that he would speak it more at home! After that I got assigned my little buddies and we were off to catch the bus!

Here is me and Trey and one of our little buddies legs riding the bus! Honestly I have never in my life rode the LTD! Trey is a pro at it since he had gone on a lot of field trips with his class! It's a little funny that my 3 year old is more experienced at this than me!

After the bus ride and a small walk we made it to the Grist Mill and learned a lot about what it takes to make bread and bagels!

Trey and his class learned about how they grid the wheat!

Next we learned how they make bagels!

Trey loved watching the bagels fall on to this little thing!
Look at all the bagels!

Next we learned about the oven! It was super hot and the biggest oven that I have ever seen!

Trey with all the loaves of bread!

Learning how they slice and bag the bread for customers!

My little Trey doing such a good job at paying attention ;)

Afterwards they got to pick out a Bagel! Trey picked a raspberry one!

This is Trey and his cute little girlfriend Sky eating their Bagels! Their little crazy faces are just a match made in 3 year old heaven! Trey is going to marry her when he is 26 by the way if you didn't already know! He has it all planned out!

Trey and his Raspberry Bagel waiting for the bus!

After a long day they all sat and waited for the bus and ate their food! It was so much fun and I was glad that Trey wanted me to go and help! I love that Trey gets to go and have fun doing all these cool things with this school that is the thing that I like about it best! He gets to have wonderful experiences that he wouldn't at other schools and he has such a great teacher to take all these kids on such fun trips! I'm so glad that we found this school for him! It has been the best thing for his creative personality! I had so much fun and all the kids were on their best behavior which I couldn't believe! All my little buddies did great! I hope that I get to go again with them I had so much fun being with Trey and watching him and Sky together it was so cute!

Bubble Fun!!!

Finally it is nice and warm outside just the way that we like it! We get to wear shorts we don't have to wear jackets very often and my favorite part is that it totally makes the boys tired by the end of the day! Which means I don't have to put up a very big fight when it's bed time and Jack sleeps all night long! Yay for the mama! We have been having so much fun! I put a ton of pics on here and they are not in order...I don't really feel like doing it so oh well!

Jack wants to be just like his brother in every way he can even if it means putting on a helmet and pretending to stand on the scooter even though he isn't moving anywhere!
He didn't like the falling down part to much so he decided that he had enough of that for one day!

Trey is a goof ball! He just loves to put his helmet on backwards because he knows that it drives me crazy!

Trey playing with the bubble gun!

Jack and his little victory stance! He is kind of giving a weird look to the camera, but I thought that it was so cute the way that he was posing!

Poor Jack fell and got one to many booboo's right when we started to do bubbles! I scraped his knees and his lip and chin! But that is the life of a boy!

He recovered quickly thought! Bubbles can put a smile on his face anytime!

Isn't he just the cutest little stinker you have ever seen!

I love this little face! He had just woken up from his nap, his face was still a little stained from spaghetti-o's from lunch! I just love him!

Running in the bubbles!

Trey trying to shoot Jack with the bubbles!

I had to put this pic on! When Trey was still in the belly this little tree started to grow in the back yard! We have since then called it Trey's tree! Last year I carved his name in it so that he would know that it is his! It has gotten really big in the last almost 4 years! I can't believe that he is going to be 4!!! One started to grow when Jack was in the belly too isn't that funny! I'm going to carve his name in his this year so I will have to take a pic of him with his tree too!

I've Been Busy!!!

So I've been a little preoccupied lately! Honestly I have nothing to blog about but I feel like it has been a whole week so I guess I should blog about something right! Even if it is nothing that anyone will care about!

I've been busy with these two little guys dealing with attitudes, pantless dudes, making dinner that is what Trey is eating! Cleaning the house making sure that it looks clean every second of the day....which is hard when you live with all boys! Playing outside in this warm weather and practicing ABC's with Trey! He can finally spell his name with no problems Yay!!! We got him some flash cards and he is doing great! Jack is even learning some ABC's! I've also been in a mega crafting mood this week! Here is what I've done in 1 week!

I made two of these beautiful wreaths for our little area by the kitchen table! I LOVE them! I made them out of brown coffee filters! They turned out amazing!

I also made this cute little garden sign! I'm going to put it in a pot next to our door! I LOVE it also!

I also painted the laundry room and made this black cover for the ugly wire shelf that is right here! I'm not done with this project so this is only a sneak peek of what's to come! So far I'm LOVING it too!
I also made this wreath for the upstairs bathroom! I made it out of a book it looks better in person than it does in this picture! It fills up the bathroom wall nicely!

But my best project this week had been the sidewalk chalk art work that me and the boys and and ton of neighbors kids did! We've been having such a great time outside and we LOVE sidewalk chalk! Thanks to Cousin Carter and Anabelle for giving it to Jack for Easter! We are loving it especially since our old chalk was seeing its last days! Sorry if this was boring, maybe we will do something soon that is more exciting! But until then I'm going to keep looking for crafty things to do!

A New Car!!!

I'm sure that most of you remember that Richard took his car for a little swim and totaled it, right? Well we got a new car to replace it and it is amazing!


Here it is! It's a 2008 PT Cruiser! I know you are probably thinking really, that is what you got! Trust me never in a million years did I think that we would ever own one! But here we are! It is a really cool car and look how pretty it is!

Here is Richard standing with his new baby and he loves it! It's so nice on the inside and outside and it's alot more roomy than you would think!
The boys love and had a fun time going around in Daddy's car since we haven't done that in like a year! I have to be honest I'm a little jealous of this sporty little think but definitely not enough to trade him the Durango! That stays with mama! I'm so glad that we were able to find a great car for him. I will no longer have to be driving him here or there or be car-less! It's so great and I'm so excited for him! Oh and we named it the Vanilla Gorilla...it's got a nice ring to it!
