Blake's 9th birthday

 Today my Blake turned 9.  Every year it amazes me how fast time goes.  Blake is the best big brother! I could not have asked for a better son.  He is such a great helper, he loves baseball, his ipod, and just playing with his friends.  Today I surprised him at school and signed him out for lunch.  I already went and bought his favorite food Subway to have a picnic.  He decided he wanted to go home and eat.

 He came home to find his army birthday cake and birthday balloons. 

 We had an enjoyable lunch together.  He was so happy to be at home for lunch and kept telling me how surprised he was that I took him home for lunch.  He liked watching t.v. and hanging out until it was time to go back to school.

 After school his best friend Cason came over for cake and ice cream.

 No, he did not get an ipad for his birthday.  He got a new bike that he already picked out, and his new bear scouting uniform.

After his little party at home we went to Grandma and Grandpa Moss' to celebrate Easter (we had it early since Uncle Matthew works on Easter) and to celebrate Blake's birthday.  Happy Birthday Blake we LOVE you!

shopping with mom

Sadie and I enjoy out shopping trip together while the boys are at school.  Shopping with a daughter is so different than with my boys.  I remember when Blake and Logan were little and I had to go to the store they would say,"no, we hate shopping!"  Today I had to get stuff done for Blake's birthday and Easter.  Sadie sporting her shopping goodies, new sunglasses, candy and a balloon.  Maybe that's why she likes shopping so much, I don't remember being so giving with the boys.

Church Egg Hunt

 This morning the Primary had an activity.  They colored, sang, planted seeds and had an egg hunt.  Blake had a baseball game and was unable to attend.

My kids we very timid and would pass several eggs before garbing one.  Eventually they got into the egg hunt, and enjoyed the activity.

Beach

Always a great day to go to the beach, with friends.

Sadie and Logan

 Today we went on a bike ride and dog walk.  On the way home Sadie didn't want to ride her bike anymore and wanted to walk.  As I am pushing Sadie's bike home and holding onto two crazy dogs that want to run. I turn around and see Sadie and Logan holding hands.  It was so cute I had to take a picture.

These two are really good friends.  They are always playing together and bothering each other.  I call them my "squeakers"  because they are always making high pitched noises that drive everyone crazy!    

Sadie's stitiches

 After Blake's baseball game we started to drive home and he sees that two of his friends are playing aganist eachother.  He asks if we can please go and watch the game.  I tell him just for about 15 minutes becuase we need to get home for bed.  Sadie was playing behind me I have and she comes screaming up to me.  I pick her up and am holding her while she is crying her face  is on my shoulder.  A lady turns to me and says do you know she is bleeding?  I take one look at her forhead and I knew immediatly that I needed to take her to the doctors.  

 I call Rich who is on his way to scouts and leave the boys with friends until Rich picks them up.  

 She was happy and all smiles until the doctors wanted to look at it.  It took me and another doctor holding her down while she was screaming and trying to get loose while the other doctor gave her two stitches.

 On the way home I treated her with McDonalds.  

All stitched up!

Sadie Hair Cut

 Sadie's hair was getting so long.  It was very pretty, but the cries and fights she put up when I tried to brush her hair were out of control.  Time to visit Aunt Shanna for a hair cut.  Princess Sadie getting her hair washed.

 Playing with the phone taking 100 pictures to occupy the haircut time.

 Looking stylist with her new layers.
