Road trip to MT. Every time we drive past this old house Tom wants to stop and we finally did. It's near the ID/MT border.

K spent the night with us in the camper. Cute things he said when the wind was blowing: "Why are the walls moving?" "Are the walls knocking at us?"

And when I told Tom I would do the dishes K told me "Rock on Baby!"
and when Tom asked if he could have a turn playing videos he told Tom:
"You just sit and relax and I'll do all thé work."

We'll be there soon!!!

K's graduation. His hat broke.

Mimi Day/Zoo Day

I had a coupon for a free child admission when accompanied by an adult so we did a marathon zoo day in between school and football practice. Of course the coupon was expired but it was a great mini trip to the zoo. I told Boo to pick his favorite animals to see and he chose; gorilla's, elephants, and giraffes.

A gorilla skull.

A polar bear out of lego's.
 

Mimi Day 05-08-13

We spent most of the day getting ready for this week end and helping Chels & Boo move. We have a million things to do but in the middle of it all I decided to make dinner and home made dog bones. Sometimes I think I work better under pressure because I always do this to myself.

MOVING BOO IN HIS NEW HOUSE.

Recipes I made today. Both wonderful and I need to make again.

We didn't have bone cookie cutters so we made stars and hearts.

Killian's gymnastics class. I think Kinzi is enjoying it also.

Flag football and and a much appreciated kiss

Today was Boo's flag football game. The last couple weeks he's been the ball hiker. Not a lot of action but at least he's got to touch the ball. Well this week I think he found his spot. He got 6 flags which are equivalent to 6 tackles, kind of.... Chels was out of town so we gave her a play by play text of the game. When the game was over we went to tell him good job and he gave me a big kiss and hug without asking. This doesn't sound that big except he's at the age I have to beg for kisses. So I m not sure if he was so excited for playing well or missing his momma, but to get a kiss in front of his team and Dad I'll take it. Yes, some days are just better than others.....

Puppy Dog Eyes!

My latest project. I wanted to get it finished in time for Dewayne's Memorial.

Boo is Seven and we took a road trip to Big Papa's house.

Birthday Breakfast in Bed with a new Book.

Big Papa was sitting on the front porch waiting for us.

Boo said "This view is so pretty and pretty is not a word I use very often".

I did the vinyl and Tom put up the sign.

I told Boo we would see Deer or I would pay him $5.00.  Saw lots of them.

Stopped to look for "gold in the river. Found lots of pretty rocks.

My gift from the Double K's.

Soccer and Football

It rained on the soccer game at 3:00 but Boo still scored 4 goals.

 Then the sun came out for his 4:00 football game. Being a baseball mom my whole life I asked Boo if he liked football better than baseball and he said "Oh my gosh Mimi, I love football!" It was pretty exciting.

Boo's Birthday Party At Kangaroo Zoo

Treating myself when I'm home alone.

And once again it's time to say good bye as they head back to Montana.

Sandwich Hug.

I wrapped 7 presents for him to unwrap along the way. He could not stand the anticipation so we let him open up the first present. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

As Tom and I were kissing them good bye for the hundredth time she puckered up and gave us a real kiss.  



And they're all set to go.

Monday

Clay, Tara, Killian and Kinzi went to the Museum of Natural History today with Grammy Barbie. Then at night we volunteered to babysit so Clay & Tara could go out on a date to a movie. It took 5 of us, but they got baths and playtime until mommy and daddy got home.

Didn't like bath time in Mimi's sink.

Liked dancing to Aunt Chelsea's cell phone.
