Nerf War

Heyden got this Nerf gun a few months ago and it has been his special toy ever sense...Skyler and Ashlynn both got Nerf guns for Christmas and we had some good times playing Nerf wars in the house...But it didnt take long before all the darts were lost...Grandpa bought a Nerf gun and a pack of 100 darts and brought them over to out house last night...He also bought a small gun for Xan...They had so much fun having Nerf war in the living room...(please excuse the diapers and unders)...

The poor fish couldn't figure out what was going on...

Ashlynn ready to unload on me...

I love these moments the kids get to spend with Grandma and Grandpa...

Pole Dancer

I got this email from a friend and had to share it...I'm not a fan of forwards so I thought I'd post it on my blog.....

This is the leter the teacher got back from the mother...

Dear Mrs. Jones,I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith

Father Son Cake

Tomorrow Skyler has his first Blue and gold banquet for Cub Scouts...One of the traditions is for the fathers and sons to make a cake together...The theme this year is ABC's across America...Skyler wanted to make a flag cake...I was hopping for something a little more elaborate...So this is what we came up with...I found this in a cake idea book...

This is how ours turned out...

Of course i didn't get much help from Jeff or Sky except with the idea...Good job on your father son cake guys!!!

Happy Valentines Day

I woke up this morning to something special in bed?......can you guess what it was?.....It smelled, is very sweet and is some of my favorite things in the world.....Have you guessed yet?......Are you all thinking Breakfast?......Yeah Right!!! I Wish!!!....I woke up to Kids in my bed!!! No sleep for me last night.... Hayden was first in my bed, they shortly after Skyler woke up with a bad dream so he joined our room on the floor....then our morning was started with Skyler climbing into bed then I think at one time all of them jumping on our bed while I'm still trying to sleep...It may sound like I'm complaining but really I'm not...It will be all too soon when they wont be gracing us with their presents in our small little bed....I love each and every one of them soooooo much....and not to forget my wonderful hubby who is going to keep all the kids while i go shopping this afternoon....and not to forget the hot date we have planed for tonight with some friends...have a great valentines day!!!
