I cried a little...A lot!

Well I got a phone call today. This call was one I knew I could not avoid.
I answered and the voice said....
Is this Mrs. Haynes?
Yes.
Mrs. Haynes we wanted to let you know Owen has been selected to attend full day kindergarten.
Really? Ummm that's so sad.
It's okay Mrs. Haynes we all have to send our children to school.

Runner Girl

Lilly had her first race yesterday! Really she is so cool!
She ran the 400m in 2:07!
Again really bad pictures because I was cheering and forgot to take a photo when she ran by!

Happy Birthday My Pook

I adore my husband and we celebrated his birthday last week! He is a very special man and when I say special I mean it! He is truly amazing in his love for God and his family.
Gary does not ask for much but when he does its a doozy! He has wanted an AR-15 for years. And for his birthday I got him one! Strangest gift I have ever given, more like strangest purchase I have ever made!!
I love you Pook and I pray many blessings over you for this next year!

Girl Time!

Love my Girl time! Lilly and I now have smurf fingers!

Get up early!

And go for a long bike ride in our own beautiful neighborhood!
It was finally spring today and we got up early early for a Saturday morning. We had our Cheerios and out the door we went for a good three hour bike ride! I won't lie I did come home and ask if I was skinny yet! This ride brought back so many memories of being a kid. We took this ride along the creek by our house. Teddy and I used to play down at the creek and bring home tadpoles. And once those little tad poles grew little legs the would jump out of their tank and fry on our hot deck! My mother used to get so mad at us!!
We had a great day and I am so thankful that the kids are old enough to do this kind of thing. Couple more weeks and we will be off to Seven Bridges!!! Yay summer!!!

Smile

Lilly spent the night at my parents house Friday night. Lilly is a very loving little gal. She was very upset when my parents went to Arizona, she literally wept in my bed because she missed them. I assured her they were just on vacation and it is not that easy to get rid of them!! :)

Breakfast with my Boys!

Since Lilly had to be at school super early I decided to catch Gary on his way home from work to grab some breakfast! Love my boys!!

My runner girl!

Lilly started Land Sharks Running this morning! She has practice at 7:00 am Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays with meets on Mondays after school at Sand Creek High school!
She is simply amazing!! Love love!!!

Snow Day!!

Today is my day off for the week and the kids had a snow day! We really don't have any snow but we have some horrible wind! We have a huge pine tree in our yard and I am surprised it has not crashed into our house!
The kids enjoyed sleeping in this morning while I got up early and had a cup of coffee and read a book all alone. Then Gary came home from work and we got to chat and drink coffee together before he went off to bed.
I love days like today where it's just me and the kids, however I need to call Home Depot and get a new hot water heater. Ours died this weekend. It's still works but we have to keep the water off until we take a shower or run the dishwasher or washing machine. Just a minor thing but we need it replaced soon.
Looks like I and the kids are going to make some cookies and watch a movie! Yay for snow days!!

Yup Cow-Lick

Poor Owen! His face is not dirty he has just discovered chicks dig scars!

Spring Break and Easter

We had a wonderful time together on our little vacation and Easter. We needed our family time. Gary and I are beyond blessed to have Lilly and Owen. We are so proud of them and love them to the moon and back!
While in Glenwood Springs we spent a ton of time in the pool! Sorry there are no pictures but I was in the pool. The first night Gary and I must have gone up and down the water slide sixty times. We went up the Glenwood Canyons and down the alpine slide it was awesome! All in all it was a wonderful week!
