Sam in the High School Play!

My baby brother was shaking his booty in a high school play!  We were all shocked at this being that you couldn't have paid most of us to get on stage in front of people, let alone dance and speak!
He was quite entertaining and stole the show. He even got in trouble for taking the attention off the main characters. haha   The play was Footloose and he starred as the Coach and a dancer. They asked him to be in the play because he is good at dancing and they needed him to teach the other kids!  It was good entertainment for sure and we laughed a lot watching him. And at times we were nearly embarrassed but I think when he knew where we were sitting it made him be even more silly!

 

Here are few more pictures from that weekend! Jumping princesses and cute swinging boy and basketball stars!

 

Kids and the love of parks!

We live outside most days! When cold we bundle up but thank heavens for mild winters! We walk everywhere. So good for the kids and me! We are so lucky to have 3 parks within walking distance of the house so we are always on the go. The kids love to get out and RUN! Cutler can make it a little over a mile and Ronnee goes about 3. Their energy is amazing! They are growing up to fast!

They have a new love for fishing! Mainly I think they just like getting out with their daddy!

He is my little cleaner! Even puts up the legs of the couch to sweep!

She got a new horse and had to introduce her to the rest of the horses!

One of his many bumps and bruises! Our kids are rough! Good think they are tough! Half the time I don't even know where the owies come from!

Life!

We are still dealing with the stress of the house not selling! Once that is gone things will hopefully get a little better around here and we will be sleeping again! 
The kids are busy as ever and keeps us so entertained! Cutler talks so much!  So crazy he is almost 2! My baby is no longer a baby and is constantly reminding me of that! He has the cutest little voice! He loves to bother is big sister and is always hitting her! I finally let her hit him back and he wasn't to sure about that! He loves sports! At the park if we forget his bat and ball he will find a stick and a pine cone and hit that around! He has amazing hand eye coordination!
Ronnee is hilarious! I wish I could remember all the stories... when I get mad at her for being to loud or to wild she respond with "I am just being a kid mom!"   She is dramatic and hates when we have to leave her friends and family. She cries "I am gonna miss them!" which makes everyone feel special! She is not shy and all and talks to everyone. She tells them her name and that she is 4 and loves horses!  We go to the park a lot so that she can play and talk to other people and not just me! haha sad to say but is nice to have a break!   She is still obsessed with Horse and is either riding a stick horse, acting like one, or playing with her little ones! I thought she would grow out of this stage but that has yet to happen.   Her favorite color is black, so when she was reunited with her dogs all she could say to Tulo was "you're so black, you're so black!" It was quite entertaining. Her favorite stick horse is named Blackie!  These kids make a stressful day a little more stressful at times but also a breath of fresh air! 
Another Ronnee story that I am not sure I have written down or not so I will write it again...When we were home one of our many trips home Caleb happened to be in town also and Ronnee loves him! Well one night they were in the bunk house watching a movie and so Ronnee sat right next to him and started playing with his hair and then looks at him and says "I want to kiss you on the mouth!"  Caleb could not stop laughing. This girl loves to kiss especially when she knows the person she is kissing doesn't want her to kiss them!

For now to handle the stress we will walk a lot and get fresh air and continue making our kids life fun and entertaining! Their imaginations are amazing to watch!

Super Bowl!

SAD SAD SAD!!! We were so happy and thrilled that Daddy's team made it to the Super Bowl this year but is was a sad game to watch. Poor Tyler was a little depressed. I felt so bad for him. He puts his whole heart into his sports teams and to have it crushed was so sad!  But we still love the Broncos and look forward to next season!   I must add that is nice to be living in an area where there are a lot of Broncos fans. Having lived in San Jose and Reno where there are a lot of Raiders fans it is a nice change! No body getting mad at us or threatening us for cheering for the Broncos!
