Chasey wasn't feeling up for a photo opportunity today. 

Colby was! Thank goodness I have two boys.

Spinder Family Reunion Planning Party...

While a few of us were planning meals for our upcoming reunion Sami took the boys on the ATV. 

They loved it!

Hold on tight Chasey!

Happy boys. Sami is so good to them. 

Chasey just couldn't resist the temptation of trying on a beautiful sparkly flip flop. 

Now it was Tyler's turn to take the kids for a ride, he's such a good uncle.

Look at this beautiful volleyball court. 

Which works even better as a sandbox where tractors can get to work. Brooke is the ultimate helper and  is so sweet with my little boys. 

While the boys were busy coloring I noticed the cutest plumber crack I've ever seen. I've heard crack kills...not this kind :D

After a busy day playing at the Hudnalls the boys settled down on the swing with Tyler. 

Colby couldn't contain his excitement.

Happy Birthday Jana!

Chasey decided to eat his breakfast while watching the construction action that is happening behind our house. 

Chasey and daddy also got in a nice long nap together. I think this is one of Jason's favorite parts of being a dad!

Jana is someone I've known since I was in 5th grade! She now lives in Wyoming but happened to be visiting her parents today (they live East of  where I live). The boys and I made the drive to see her and her family. 

It also happened to be her birthday! When we were young we would always spend our birthdays together but now that we're grown and live in different states it has been years since we've been together on an actual birthday. 

Me and the boys and the beautiful Carroll ranch. 

Colby, me, Chasey, Jana and Rowan. Jana and I are both blessed to be boy moms. All of our boys have really long eyelashes too! Watch out ladies!
I love you Jan and miss you so very much!

Spinder girls graduation PARTY!!!

Chasey grabbed his essentials to take to the party...his moon (bear) and his goldfish.

A very serious Colby grabbed his essentials too...his bat and ball. 

Don't worry, he's not too serious!

As always it's awesome to see the Sloane family! See that adorable baby boy? That's my nephew, Slade. What a cutie!

Nikki, me and Sandi. We all have the same ideas about what constitutes fabulous, it's a beautiful thing. 

My beautiful mom with the girls of the day. She bought them those awesome necklaces, she too appreciates the fabulous!

We got Miss Spinder and antique apple bell to catch the attention of all the precious young minds she is shaping in the classroom. 

And Nikki needed some fabulous bling to decorate her wrists while she's making women beautiful as a hair stylist. 

It's hard to be so fabulous, but someone has to do it!

With all the fabulous that was happening inside the house Jason and the boys decided to head outside to play volleyball and do other manly things. 

Chasey noticed I put a flower in my hair and he wanted to do the same. 

Twinkies!

I  just love this little man. 

On our way out we said goodbye to the Sloane's, what a good looking family!

And just before leaving Chasey had to catch a glimpse of himself in the mirror. Even boys can appreciate the fabulousness in life! :D

Another rainy day...

All winter long I've been telling the boys about spring and how wonderful it will be to play outside all day long. Unfortunately spring weather is a little late in coming this year. 

The helping spree continues, Chasey and Colby got the milk for me this morning. 

Chasey is absolutely tickled with himself. 

He should be! The milk weighs almost as much as he does!

Colby pulled the long straw and got the half gallon.  The boys thought it was very cool to feel how cold it was.  At least with this chilly weather we don't have to worry about our milk going bad too fast!

My big helpers!

I can't believe how much easier my life has gotten in the past few months. The boys are listening, following directions and  now even helping me around the house. I asked them to carry the laundry basket down, they realized they couldn't do it alone and came up with a system to carry it down together. I adore these little boys and thank God everyday for their special relationship.

Sick and Tired...

Chasey fell asleep in the car. I carried him inside and set him in the playroom, hoping to wake him up. 

It didn't work, he layed down right where I set him and fell back to sleep...such a boy, with the gun in his hand, finger on the trigger. Don't try waking him up!


More snow today, very odd this time of year. 



Colby wasn't feeling himself today either. 


Poor guy, looks absolutely miserable. 

Chasey, still snoozing. 

Like a sack of potatoes!

We moved Chasey to the couch hoping this would wake him, nope! 

Notice, his finger is still on the trigger. :D
I actually love this kind of weather (not in the winter, I get so sick of the snow! But in the spring I love it!) and I actually kind of like it when the boys are sick. Now that they're getting older it's the only time I get to snuggle them!
