Goofy Girls!

Gunnar is setting a new trend and bringing back the suspender!! We just won a few pair on ebay and she is super anxious to get them, but until then we will just borrow from friends:)... Tonight she and Bailey gave us a preview of their outfits for tomorrow...

Weekend full of one on one...

Tonight Gunnar and I got to enjoy a special date night, while Gates was away at a sleepover. Yes I know it's Sunday, but Gates doesn't have school because of Presidents Day, but Gunnar does:( She and I enjoyed catching up on some episodes of the Bachelor we had missed. We DVR them so we can go back and watch on our own time. We ate extra cheddar Goldfish, drank orange soda and chatted like girls!! I love one on one time with my kiddos. Gunnar and I don't get it enough, because she is at the age of "MEHOOD" that is somewhere in between kid, preteen and adulthood:) We both agreed we need to do "mom/daughter" time more often!!! Until next time......

The Boo Boo.....#7521

Soooo my little man took yet another tumble. He had a nasty bike crash on Friday and got major road rash on his knee. He literally didn't move off the couch all day Saturday except to take Todd to the airport. I picked him up in his undies and put him in the car kicking and screaming. Poor little guy! The only thing I could think is that it must have been like when I had the shingles and my skin was so raw, and buring. If he wasn't asleep he was crying:(.... Very hard when you are the mom and cant do anything to make it better. We did end the night on a good note. He and I had a movie and popcorn date night.. Gunnar was away at a sleepover and Todd was in Cali for a meet. I really enjoyed our time together... JUST US!

Pink Meet....2011

We enjoyed some much needed girl time at the PINK meet last weekend! The pink meet is in support of breast cancer awareness/research. As you can see we are all wearing our PINK;)

The Horse Girl....

Gunnar has a wonderful new activity that she can't get enough of. She absolutely LOVES riding horses. Shes been riding for several months and has learned a lot from this experience. She has learned that not only do you look pretty sitting up on that big horse, but it takes a lot of work, to get to the top! We get to the barn before the lesson even begins so that she can fetch her horse from the stable or the field, groom her horse, saddle him up and then walk him to the arena... She does it with such grace and pride. I love watching her lead such a huge animal around. She has to let them know she is in control(not hard for her as she is a bit bossy:)). It amazes me that she isn't afraid at all. Me on the other hand, well I try to pretend not to be afraid, but horses are BIG and STRONG! I'm so glad that she has finally found something that she truly loves.

Snake Wrangler

Does anything more need to be said??? When Gates grows up he's going to be a snake wrangler!!!! Where oh where does this boy come up with these things? Gotta love him...

The Beginning

I think when I started this whole blogging thing Gunnar was starting first grade and Gates was starting preschool! Wow, the time has flown by. Gates is officially registered for kindergarten and Gunnar only has one year left of elementary school. My babies aren't babies anymore! They are both so grown up.....well,most of the time;).
