Sorry it took so long for the update....life has been a little crazy lately....I'll try to do better.

Happy Father's Day to all the important men in my life and the lives of my children!!

My precious husband and the father of my children...

You are their hero Daddy and always will be!  You are my hero for being Jesus to them.  They are watching you even when you don't know it....thank-you for all that you are!

And  to my daddy......

You are my hero all the same....I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for the way you raised me in church and in the word teaching me what's most important in life.  You have always given back to God and I've seen Him bless you because of it....thank-you for teaching me to be a giver!  I'm so proud of the most recent decision that you made to quit smoking.  You are such a wonderful example to my boys, thank-you daddy, I love you!!!

And to Grandpa.....

Please know grandpa Mai that though we don't see you often we love you all the same and that doesn't make you any less important to us!!  We talk to the boys about you alot.  Thank-you for all your love and support over the miles!!  And thank-you most of all for how you raised your son.  I know that he's hit some bumps along the way but he's an awesome daddy to your grandsons and he does love Jesus with all his heart!  We love and miss you lots!!!

Dentist visit......

Dylan about to perform surgery on Hayden (scary!)

Hayden didn't last long since he's phobic if EVERYTHING!!  It came right off!

Now, just to worn you ahead of time.....the following material is very graphic in nature and may not be suitable for everyone!!!

I noticed the other day that Hayden had been out of sight for a while and usually that means he's pooping and will be yelling for me to come and wipe him soon.  However, it had been a while and I never heard, MOOOOMMMMMYYYYYY!!!  So back through the house I go to look for my little mischevious man.  I walk into my bathroom to find him sitting on my sink grunting, that is until he saw me and wouldn't look at me.  When I asked him why he pooped in the sink he just said, "Cause I wanted to!" which is his reply to everything he shouldn't do! Well, once we both get over the shock of what has just taken place (for me my 3 yr old pooping in the sink, for him the fact that he's been BUSTED!)  he takes me into the other bathroom where he had previously pooped in that sink!!  So above is a pic of the sink and what it contained!  I later found out he had peed in the shower on his little escapade!  I'm not quite sure where all this came from and probably never will.  That's just Hayden for ya!

The Mai fish!

Daddy cut fish out of wood for us to paint and had on the fence over the new pond.  We had a lot of fun! Hayden's is top right and Dyl's is bottom right.  Daddy did a Venom fish and I just did whatever cam to mind.  We are loving our backyard pond.  We have 2 tadpoles now too. 

Just a random pic of Hay in the backyard this am.

Summer begins......

Hayden's Graduation

This is how my child enters the room for his first graduation for pre-school.  He was sooooo upset about having to wear the cap and gown that he cried the entire time he had to wear it so finally since he was being such a disruption I allowed him to take it off. Then he wouldn't go up on stage with all the other kids (who I might add were ALL behaving just fine!) to sing unless his bubby could go with him.....

So here is Dylan completely out of place with Hayden while all the other kids were in their gowns singing and doing motions to the songs.

So at the end we bribed him into putting the stuff back on for pictures....no cake unless!!

Dylan's last day of kindergarten

Him and his best buds!

My best mother's day gift EVER!

John built me a fish pond with a waterfall.....I am sooo enjoying it!

Our newest addition, Sassy laying by the pond.....she's sooo sweet!

She's a five pound yorkie-pomeranian....she looks like a baby fox!!  The other dog is chloe, we are dog sitting this weekend!

Happy Memorial Day to everyone!!

TICK BOY

So yesterday I was rubbing Hayden's head as he watched TV when I came across a big lump in his head.  It felt like a scab.  As I seperated the hair and looked closer I realized it was no scab at all, rather a white spotted tick!  So we spent the next little bit getting the tick drunk with alcohol so it would let go of Hayden.  We had success in not too much time.  Between the black widows and the tick I'm bugged out!!
