I looked out the window and what did I see?

Wednesday after it rained I looked outside and saw a double rainbow. It's hard to tel it the picture, but I promise it's there. So I wished upon it. I'm not sure if you're suppose to wish upon a double rainbow, but I did anyway just in case. I'd hate to waste a wish opportunity.

While we were outside wishing to the double rainbow, Dray stepped in a puddle. He was so excited. "Mommy! Mommy! I made a tootsie print! I love to make tootsie prints! Now you can follow me! Now you know where I went!" Where in the world did he come up with that? That little guy cracks me up!

A Night Out!

Dustin and I rarely go out without our children, so when we do it's an occasion worthy of a few pictures. It was around 9 o'clock at night, so we both looked exhausted (we go out late so our children will be asleep the whole time). We went and saw a movire called Fireproof. Dustin really wanted to see it because it's about a firefighter, but it turned out to be a little cheesy. Don't get me wrong, it had a good message and I am one for cheesiness. It was a Kirk Cameron movie, and for those of you who don't know he is a hardcore christian. So there was alot of talk about God. Anyway, it had good advice on trying to improve your marriage and on appreciating people in your life you may tend to take for granted. I give it 3 stars (so more than half) for good values and a good message. Not a movie you'd have to screen for the kids. Infact, it was only rated pg, and I think that was only because he yelled.

Back Where We Belong

So, we went to the zoo again. I know I know, we go there alot. But it's free so of course we go alot. Free entertainment is the best entertainment. Ok so no, it's not actually free. We bought a membership earlier this year so it cost us then, but I'm pretty sure we've more than made it up. So it feels free. We went with my sister in law Melissa and her two kids, Kimber and Colter. Drayton and Kimber acted like heathens the entire time we were there. By the time we got to the petting zoo I was contemplating leaving Dray there to become part of the zoo. AHHHHH! They fought over everything. And Peyson wanted to walk the whole time. Anyone who has seen Peyson walk knows what a bad idea this is. She can't take more than 5 steps without falling over, and then she tries to crawl a bunch to make up for lost walking time. Crawling at the zoo, as I'm sure everyone can imagine, isn't the most sanitary thing. One child, however, did come out shining. Colter! He was a total angel. He didn't make a peep the whole 3 hours we were there. I kept forgetting he was with us. I wanted to trade Mel right then and there: Drayton and Peyson for Colter. Just kidding, I love my babies. They just make me a little crazy sometimes. The trip ended ok, though. Drayton and Kimber walked to the car holding hand and only yelled at each other once or twice. That was definately the record for the day.

We're Still At It

So as of today Dustin and I have been married for 4 years. Dang we're old. And we already have 2 kids. We move kinda fast. And what did we do to celebrate you ask? Well lets see. Last night we went out to eat and to a movie, which we missed. And today Dustin went fishing, while the kids and I stayed home and they helped me write a paper for my Contempoaray Issues in American Education class. Yes, it's as exciting of a class as it sounds. Then when he got home we took the kids to the park to ride Dray's John Deere tractor. The kids then went to bed early because they giggled through nap instead of sleeping (what was that I said in an earlier post about loving them being in the same room?), and we went out for ice cream. That's about it. We are extremely boring people. Although I did get some bananna ice cream, which was pretty exciting. I don't really care that we didn't do anything crazy. We have nothing to prove to each other that isn't instilled in our everyday, the important thing is that we can still stand each other and the fact that I am more sure that he is the one for me than I was the day I married him. Of course our journery has had it's ups and downs, but how could we grow together if there was never anywhere to grow from? Dustin is everything I could ever have hoped for as a husband, lover, provider, bestfriend, and father and role model to my kids. I am so honored that I get to spend the rest of forever with my dream come true.

I love you through it all, Dustin!

Tagged Again!

Ok with this one you have to open your 4th picture folder on your computer and post your 4th picture. Then explain it.



We went to the zoo about a month ago and at the petting zoo area they have miniture tractors and animals and even a little barn. So Drayton started telling me he was a farmer and he was telling all the farmhands and animals what to do. Like " Hey cows, gimme your milk!" So I told him to pose. This is him giving orders. He's so bossy, but you gotta love a man in charge.

A Day Without a Camera......camera phones don't count!

Today was a very long day. And boy do i mean long. I had to drag my poor babies outta bed at 5:45 AM! This is because my job just went to fulltime, meaning I have to be there by 6:30. Of course the kids were wide awake by the time I got there. Resistence was futile, there was no going back to bed. Well my kids usually wake up between 8:30 and 9. 8 at the absolute earliest, so as you can imagine, they tired out alittle earlier than usual. I sat everyone down for lunch at 11:30 and then went to the bathroom. When I returned.......

Yes that's a chicken nugget that fell out of her hand. Poor baby. So we took a bath and then off to nap. So my day carried on as normal. Nap, snack, drive home. Well, today is my dad's birthday so Peyson stayed home while me and Dray took him bowling. I had never realized what a bad bowler I am until tonight. Now according to Wii bowling, I am the champion, unfortunately reality is not so kind. I bowled a 49. My dad bowled a 78. Drayton, the stud, bowled a 53. Yes, I am ashamed to say my 3 year old beat me in bowling. And i didn't even let him.

And what kind of a mother am I. A horrible one. I didn't even have a camera to mark this momentous occasion. He had bowling shoes on and everything. I had to take a picture with my phone. The one above of Peyson is also with my phone. The difference in quality is ................ she's not moving. My point is (yes I'll hurry up and get to it) I'm never going anywhere without my camera again. My kids are just too stinkin cute.
