Our busy week!!!! Hodge-Podge of Pictures!!

Tuesday was Wesley's birthday. We had a lot of fun playing in the back yard! It is nice to have a big back yard where they can run and roam. Here are a few pictures of them playing.

Michael riding on Wesley's new birthday bike.
It is obviously too little for Michael. Like he cares!!

It was a game for him to fall off and me to rescue him.

Happy go lucky Wesley!!!
Playing his favorite game Patty Cake.

"Cheese-mommy take a picture of me!!"



Duane gave the boys a ride on the four wheeler. Wesley hasn't been on there since last summer which he was around 3 months. Of course boys will be boys; Michael asks for a wheely. That just scares me!!! The wonders of being a mother to two active boys.


Sarah's mom was in town and they invited us over for some scurpscious Philippino dinner. Michael liked it so much he asked for seconds. Thanks for the invite it was great. The movie was great too!!


Of course, Froggy, had to go with us.
Aunt Mae got that for him for Wesley's birthday.
Unfortuately, he left it at Mark and Sarah's. He mentioned it several times that we needed to go get froggie because "he was sad and lonely with (meaning-without) me," a quote from Michael.

Check out our yummy meal!!!

Wednesday, I substituted at LBA, tutored a 2nd grader and got our family picture taken.

Family Pics and Wesley one year

Thursday, we went to take Jack to tumble bee's (gymnastic's). They have this neat indoor play area that the boys played in. We weren't in there five minutes when Michael walks over to me, "mommy my shoe is wet." I asked him how it got wet and he just looks at me. I walked over to where he was playing to investigate and found nothing leaking. I turn around to look at him and he said, "opps, I tooted mommy." What a surprise I found. We spent the next 20 minutes cleaning him up from the mess his tooting made.

Thursday night, we said good bye to Mr. Blue. Duane's blue truck's lease was up and we took it back to the Ford Dealership. Michael was quite sad about him leaving. He cried off and on all the way to the dealership. I reminded him that we have Mr. Red which is better because he is paid off and Michael didn't seem to care. He kept reminding me; "but he's (Mr. Blue) is my favorite." He is into favorites.

Friday, the boys and I went to the park for a picnic.

Friday night we took Karen out to PF Chang's for her birthday. Yes, I know bad choice; but it was up to her. So far so good! No one is sick!!! I wish I took a picture because I don't think I ever showed you a picture of her or Jack's other babysitter.

After dinner, I went scrapbooking all night at Melissa's. Her and Amanda do this every year. Last year I wasn't able to go because I just had Wesley. I do remember being up several times that night thinking. I should of taken him with me; I'm not getting any sleep anyways.

Scrapbooking night-08

This year, YEAH!! I was able to go and our team had to dress up like the 70's. Amanda's team dressed up like the 80's and another team dressed up like the 60's. Well, I lasted until
about 1:30a.m. and decided I was tired. I knew the boys would be up bright and
early the next morning. I think pretty much everyone else stayed until 7:00 the
next morning. I am almost caught up on my scrapbooking. I have three pages left.

Sunday, we celebrated Duane and Shannon's birthday. They came over to
our house for Sunday lunch. My menu was Poor Man's Steak (my dad's choice)
mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls. For desert..you guessed it..Birthday
cake from my favorite cake place-Central Pastry. YUMMY!!

So, happy birthday to Shannon and Duane. Duane's birthday isn't until Tuesday. So, there will be more to come for him!!
