Mom's should not get sick! Sign below if you agree.

We got that 24 hr. Flu bug that is going around. Lily had it last week, she threw up all over my bed 3 times and then Calvin got it Tuesday and kept puking until Wednesday and then I got it Wed. Yuck! I just have to say, I don't think Mom's should be allowed to get sick, we have to take care of everyone else; so I think we should sign some sort of petition about it (don't petitions always work? ha ha).

Sign below if you agree that Mom's should not get sick!!!

Lily walking

Lily kept on walking back and forth with this walker and by the time I realized I should get the camera she was getting really wobbly. And as you can hear in the background Calvin was very concerned about his Bob the Builder show being muted for 30 seconds.

In Calvin's words

So a couple of days ago I found out some great info from Calvin.

"Mom, what is that?"
"That is Dad's wedding ring."
"Where is my wedding ring?"
"You are not married yet, so you don't have a ring."
"I am married!"
"Oh, you are? Too whom?
"Mom, I am married to you, me and you are married!"

Jon chimes in "If you are married to Mom, then who am I married to?"
Calvin says "I don't know, you go find your own Mom, I need a ring!"

I felt very loved. And we did find Calvin a little adjustable ring at the park (which got thrown away when he went to bed that night, don't tell him. We didn't know where that ring had been and we didn't want him to get some flesh eating virus).

Mother's Day flowers


Jon gave me these pretty daisy's for Mother's day and I also get to go pick out a double stroller and new camera. I just can't decide which ones to get, if you have any advice let me know. The best thing about Mother's day was breakfast in bed. Yes, Jon put in a huge effort and brought me 2 toasted poptarts on a paper plate that had a half eaten peanut butter bar that BreAnna had left the night before. I was very grateful and I laughed inside as he set the plate next to me in bed. What a great husband to keep me laughing all these years!

Calvin and Papa Jeffrey's Jeep

This picture was taken in Moab. Calvin loved driving Papa's jeep. This is my dad's favorite picture of Calvin.


And of course he has to help put the hitch on with the tools.

Calvin and Ethan

This is Calvin and his friend Ethan. Ethan lives in our Cul-de-sac and they play just about everyday. It is fun to watch them, today Ethan was giving Calvin a ride in his wagon. He had to go in early because his mom went into labor this morning. Yeah, he will have a little brother sometime today. His mom is the YW president so we work together in the Laurels. We are so excited for them to have a new little baby boy. Calvin told Ethan that it is fun being a big brother.


Working on the garden boxes

This is our garden space. We are not going to use the whole thing. We are just making 3 large planter boxes on one side. We will probably do more next year.

Here is Jon working on the box, Calvin is Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty (He has been Prince Phillip for about a week now, he refuses to go by Calvin). He is defending us from the dragons.

Cute little Lily playing with her toys while we build the boxes.


I am not scared of the dragon because Calvin is protecting me.


One box in 2 more to go.

Project week

Jon had 6 days off this week because of shift changes and so we decided to get some projects going. We started on the garden, I can't really say we, Jon tilled and shoveled and raked and shoveled some more and put down weed guard and covered it with gravel. We are going to build planter boxes to put all of our fruits and vegis in and have gravel walk ways around each box. It will be awesome, I am so excited. We are going to have a salsa garden because everyone knows I can't go a day without chips and salsa. We will also have one box of corn and some fruit somewhere in there. We also tore apart the kids bathroom so that Andy could tile the floor (once again I can't take any credit). While Jon was pulling up the linoleum he found mold (yuk!) but we bleached it out and the tile looks beautiful. Now we just have to stain the cabinet and get the toilet back in. Jon and his dad spent 3 days hooking up the secondary water so that we can have a cheap water bill for our lawn this summer. We were going to start on our can rollers in the food room but we ran out of time. This week went by really fast (probably not as fast for Jon). Pictures will be posted soon. If you haven't noticed, our camera decided to start taking pictures in really dull ugly colors, so we are camera shopping right now. If you have any good camera suggestion let me know.
