Spring 2016

Spring is usually a very busy time for us, but it was busy in a different way this year. Tyrel started his new job at INL and we got our house ready for pictures to be taken to get it sold. We also celebrated Tyrel, Tytyn and Halter's Birthdays and Tytyn eagerly awaited for his first school year to be over! Among other things were Easter, conference, Kindergarten graduation, sold our cows and just everyday life.

We watched cousins one day and they had a blast dyeing some eggs for Easter.

And of course they wanted a silly face picture :)

I almost forgot to pull my camera out for the Easter baskets, but caught a few real quick.

I don't put my boys in cages even though I'm sorely tempted to sometimes, but for some reason they like to play in them quite often with their poochies as they call them.

Conference cupcakes! It's becoming a little easier to listen with itleast one older child who is starting to get interested more. Tytyn really enjoys the conference packets and loves to fill it out while he's listening. They are a great idea for kids if you've never tried them! 

This is a candy bar poster we made Tyrel for his B-day. The big 3-0! ha ha ha not that I can laugh too much cause I'm almost there with him!

My sweet baby/big boy. Yogurt and homemade granola, one of his faves!

Tytyn turned 6!

I can't believe how fast it goes!!! He has brought so much joy to our lives and is the special child who made me a Mom:)

We sold our cows:( I really didn't think I'd be as upset as I was as we watched them drive away. I thought I'd done ok with not getting too attached, but who are we kidding here, I was fighting back tears all night! It was such a fun experience to do with our boys!

I went and helped with kindergarten adventure day. They had all sorts of activities for the kids to do all day. It was a rainy day off and on, but fortunately everytime we were doing an indoor activity was when it rained, so we were blessed!

Tytyn doing some bottle rockets.

They made a kite and it was the perfect windy day to fly them, but seriously when is it not windy in southeast idaho ha ha ha.

My little angel turned 2!!!

Halter loves balloons so we got him a pack of punch balloons for his b-day, which Tytyn enjoyed as well.

He was so excited for his giant cupcake and the candles!

This face was "Mom why aren't they blowing out!" He did eventually get them blown out and then had to do it a time or two again.

Yum Yum!

Handsome boy!

This was how he watched brother's graduation. 

I got WAY more emotional during graduation than I did when I dropped him off for the first day of school. It just went by so fast and he learned and grew so much, it just all hit me so hard. It was especially emotional when they read what each of the kids wanted to be when they grew up. They asked the kids this question a few days before and then read word for word what the kids told them. This is what Tytyn's said, " I want to be a farmer because thats what my Dad did and my Grandpa did. I will need tractors, a disker and some semis to load hay onto because that's what we did." It made me cry for more than one reason.

Our home is surrounded by fields so when its time to spray we get a really good view of the crop dusters. So good in fact that we can wave at each other. It makes for some pretty cool pictures and its always entertaining for the boys to watch.

Tytyn and his teacher. She was really awesome! I went and helped in his classroom and as much as I could and it was always so fun to see how excited the kids were to learn.

Halter and I ate lunch with Tytyn on his last day of school. These were some of his buddies.

Apparently all the end of school festivities tired him out because the next day he came and sat by me and fell asleep on my shoulder. After some snuggling I laid him down on the chair and let him have a nap because they're kind of rare anymore at his age. Sweet boy!

Halter was really eager for him to wake up though!
