Tiny Triumphs 30!

Yes, I know that the Triumphs are late again. I am enjoying life and having a good time with the boys.

1. We shot off the boys rockets. We had to test them before Kellen enters his in the fair. Well, three rockets came in and only one came out. Jared's is the only rocket that we could find. Kellen's and Ethan's went up so high that we lost them. So Kellen and Ethan are hurrying to make another one before the fair. And being the bad mom that I am I did not get any pictures of what the rockets even looked like before they were lost. So I will with the new ones.

2. The stuff for the fair is almost done. We just have a few things left to get done.

3. The boys are ready for school. Well, the supplies are ready. I don't think that they want to go back yet. They both have new to the school teachers so we don't know either of them. I hope they are good with the boys.

4. Jared starts school next week! I am so proud of him!

Have a great week!

Alphabet Walk!

Today, I took the boys on an Alphabet Walk. The point was to see if we could find all 26 letters in our town. We took a camera with us and started the search. Some letters were found in nature and some were man made. The boys had fun using the camera and looking for letters. I am thinking that next time it will be numbers from 1-100!

Tiny Triumphs 29!

I know, it has been a week or so since I have done a Tiny Triumph. Real life got in the way. We have been loving the weather and spending a lot of time outside. The garden is growing and giving me tomatoes now. So if you want some let me know!

1. The boys and I are getting some things ready for the fair. We have a few weeks and then it will be time!

2. The boys have been cooking! They seem to like it

3. The boys have been staying home alone for short periods of time. Only if they are both home! They are also able to ride their bikes further and actually go some places.

Have a super week!

Cookies!

Today, Ethan and I made some cookies! Ethan did most of the work. He really is growing up on me. I am not sure if I like it or not.Ethan measuring the brown sugar
Got to mix! Aunt Sherry, that bottle of vanilla is the one that you gave me a year or so ago and it is now almost gone! (Hint, when you go south of the border again I need more)
Cracking an egg. He did not get any shells in the bowl! Check out his face!
What the cookies look like before we put them in the oven! Yes, those are Double Stuff Oreo's on the bottom

He says they are the best cookies in the whole world! So, maybe if you are lucky, he will make some for you.

Shenanigans

I have created a new blog that will follow the crazy Blooreguard Q. Kazoo! He is sexy, blue, and a great friend. So come on over to his blog at http://blooshenanigans.blogspot.com/ Come on in and stay and get to know Bloo and see some of his shenanigans! By the way it is something that the boys and I will be working on together!Bloo chill-axing

Cookin' Kellen

Today, Kellen tried his hand at cooking! I realized that he does not know how to cook on the stove. So now we are fixing that. Tonight, it was pancakes! He was really good at flipping and he made enough to feed us all! They were fantastic. I think because I did not have to cook them!Kellen with his spatula
He even made his own version of a pig in a blanket

New Ink!

Today, I went and got some new ink! I have wanted to get a new tattoo for a few years. I finally got to do it today! I am so in love with it! I had a Celtic Butterfly with the boys names on it. Jeff did such a good job I will be telling everyone, if they ask, where to go! Love it!
