Happy Father's Day to my dad! You have lovingly endured many things over the years. Here are a few: cakes from my Easy Bake Oven (they probably didn't taste too good), teaching me to ride a bike, teaching me to parallel park, paying for a wedding and then walking me down the aisle, paying for college, taking me to college to help me find where everything is, and making me bigger boxes to carry around all those Barbies I used to have. Thank you for all of those great memories. I love you, Daddy.
Happy Father's Day to my husband. You have given me three awesome boys. Thanks for playing ball with them, for teaching them to conquer their fears, for showing them what a good and strong work ethic looks like, for reminding them to say their prayers, and most of all for working with me as a team. We truly are "better together."

First Day of Summer
Today was our official first day of summer! School ended on Thursday but the boys went to daycare at school on Friday while I finished packing up my class and doing all the end of the school year "stuff" that needed to get done. So today we went to Grandma Lou's house. The boys all wanted to go swimming. Off they went to put on their floaties.
Ron bought Levi a floating device that has a steering wheel like a car. When Ron first put him in it he started to cry. He wanted to push the horn but also didn't want to let go of the wheel because he was so nervous. So, my little guy found a way to make it happen....he pushed the horn with his forehead! It was funny. He quickly got used to being in the pool and had a blast floating around.
Last year Evan spent the summer wearing floaties on his arm and a tube around his waist! He also refused to let go of the side of the pool. Today, Ron told him to take the tube off. He also had him let go of the side of the pool and swim across the pool to the other side. He was scared and needed alot of encouragement but he did it!
Seth learned to swim without floaties on! He got real nervous but he sure did it!
Tomorrow is Father's Day and we're going back to Grandma's house for a barbecue and another chance to practice the new skills they learned. I'm so proud of all that our boys accomplished today! I'm also proud of how fast they are growing and what great boys they are!

For My Mom - an update
Mom asked for an update and even though I'm 31 years old I gotta do what Mom says!
We're nearing the end of the school year which means it's almost time for our annual summer countdown! One really great thing we're looking forward to this summer is spending our days at the park. The park near our house just remodeled their play area and put in some awesome new stuff. It's got a new area for little kids so Levi can play and I don't have to worry about him getting hurt.
We recently had Parent/Teacher conferences for preschool. Evan's teacher says he's doing really well, especially in reading. He's definately going to kindergarten next year so that means we'll be buying him some school uniforms this summer!
Seth is going to the Elementary Speech Meet soon. He's got to memorize Psalm 100 and what it means. It's awesome to see him diving into God's Word and hiding in his heart!
Levi is growing and developing quickly. His speech is developing and his words are becoming a lot clearer. He's learning a lot!
Ron and I are doing great, too! Ron keeps very busy between work and side jobs and helping others. He's truly a giving person and it's nice to see him showing God's love to others by helping in whatever way he can.
I stay busy with school and helping the boys with their schoolwork! I recently read a book called "Under the Overpass" It reminded me of somethings that I already knew but hadn't put into practice so much. Fatih = actions. Helping those in need is displaying God's love and it's not a suggestion from God...it's what God has commanded us to do.

2010
It's 2010. Boy, I remember when I was a kid I thought we'd all be flying cars like in the Jetsons in the year 2010!
We had a great Christmas. The boys were very blessed by all of the people that love them. Seth was very excited to get his Nintendo DSI! Evan is a happy boy with all of the trucks and cars he got. Levi's favorite seems to be Plex (a character from Yo Gabba Gabba) and his tools and toolbag from Grandma and Grandaddy in Texas!
New Years was fun. We had an ugly sweater party at the Aguilera's. Ron won 2nd place with a sweater that I made him. We took 2 sweaters and pieced them together.
Evan turned 5! His birthday was on a Friday and so on Thursday we took him to Target and let him pick out his own birthday present. He chose a pair of Buzz Lightyear gloves. When you hit the button they make a noise and shoot a laser! After Target we went to Albertsons to get cupcakes to take to school the next day. I let him wear the gloves in the store and he followed behind me pushing the buttons and asking me to call him Buzz not Evan!
The boys are growing quickly and it's the greatest blessing to be their mommy and Ron's wife!

Old Pictures
I came across an old memory card for my camera and decided to check out the pictures on it. I came across a nice surprise. Old and VERY cute pictures of Seth and Evan. They look like babies compared to the BIG guys they are now!
Here is Seth trying to make his very own chocolate milk.
Evan comes to join in on the fun!
Just add milk!

Halloween
This Halloween Ron and I decided to make costumes for the boys. After searching on the internet I found a cool costume....a pair of dice.
I had cardboard boxes at school and white paint in the garage. The only thing we had to buy was black construction paper. I know what you're thinking....I'm a teacher....why do I not have construction paper? No excuses...just don't keep art supplies at home.
So Friday night, the night before Halloween...Seth and I painted the boxes. Saturday morning we cut out the paper circles and holes in the boxes for the boys arms and head. Ron even came up with a great idea to attach the boys candy bag inside the boxes.
After it was all done we went to Jesse and Amy's house to go trick or treating around their neighborhood. The boys had a bit of a hard time with the costumes because they couldn't see their feet or any stairs below them. They fell down a few times. It sounds harsh but it was actually kind of funny because they couldn't get up on thier own.
They did have a great time despite the couple of spills they took and they got more than enough candy.

It's Been A Long Time
It's been a long time since I've blogged. I haven't given it up, I just (insert excuse here). Guess there's no good reason or any specific reason at that. I just haven't done it.
Seth is doing great in 1st grade. He absolutely loves it. He's got more homework this year so he's learning the fine art of balancing extra curricular activities and homework. He's got spelling tests this year so we practice his spelling words everyday. Dad told him if he got 100% two weeks in a row then he would get a Nintendo DS!
Evan is having a great time in preschool. He loves playing with his friends and is learning a lot. He loves to come home and do homework.
Levi is growing quickly. He just turned 2 and is learning to drive mommy crazy by taking off his diaper. Maybe he's giving me a hint that it's time to potty train. He's recently learned to count to 10. (thanks in HUGE part to Miss Amy)
Ron is keeping busy with work and also doing projects for other people. He likes to stay busy. In fact last weeked he came home from helping someone and was only home for about 10 minutes before he said, "What do you want to do? Wanna go somewhere?"
That's it for now. The newest update. Promise I'll try harder to keep posting more often.
