5 years old!

5 years old. Really. 5 years old?
I can't believe my baby boy is 5.
Time seriously flies when you are a mom.
Hayden wanted a Transformer party this year
and got a bike. He is getting so big and smart.







Of course we had to have pinata at this party,
you can't really tell but it's a Transformer.


Hayden & his new bike!

Mini-Vaca

I decided to take the kids up to CDA, ID
to visit my BFF for a little mini-vaca.
It is gorgeous up there and we had so much
fun. Here is a little of what we got to do
while we were there:

we went on a themed boat cruise
around the lake. It was called Pirates
of the Coeur D' Alene. It was so cute
and the kids loved it. They put on a little
play and gave out a cute bag with Pirate attire
in it.





Isn't the background gorgeous!



Peyton loved it. She would stand up and
clap when they would sing and dance.




My little pirates.

School Lunch:
The schools serve FREE lunch all summer long
so we decided to take advantage of it and took
the kids.


Alden, Hayden & Ashton


Peyton & Avery

The Beach:
We went to the beach on the lake a couple of times.
The kids had a blast. They love every minute of it.

Horse Back Riding Lessons:
My friends kids take riding lessons, so we went
along and my kids got to ride the horses.






We had so much fun! Thanks Amy for letting us
come, we can't wait to go back.

2010 Pictures

While we were in Idaho my super talented BFF
photographer took these amazing pictures of my
kids. She did such a great job. They are smiling
in every picture she took. She is magical with
children and can get them to do anything. You
can check out her work at

Priceless


This is my favorite one of Peyton.


So cute.

Just like Dad!

Shawn & Hayden decided to shave their heads
for summer. I can't believe how much Hayden
looks like Shawn especially when they have the
same hair cut. I don't see any of me in either
of my kids. I think they both look just like
Shawn. If I didn't give birth to them, I would
have to question whether they were mine
or not.








Ta-Da!

Popcorn

Popcorn.



We had corn on the cob for dinner
and Peyton kept calling it Popcorn.
Well she is kinda right. Right?

Swimming Lessons

This summer we took swimming lessons at
Ben Lomand pool. Hayden loves swimming and
is like a little fish. We are going to sign up again in
a few weeks for another session.

T-Ball

This year Hayden played T-ball for the first time.
He had fun and did a good job. I think we'll play
again next year.


Swing batter.....


Not a fan of playing outfield.




Peyton thinks she can play too. Now if only we
could get rid of the plug.
