Today Mallory and I did some finger painting and some toe painting too!!

We had lots of fun going through all 25 sheets of finger paint paper!!!

MDFR Retirement Partaaay!!!!

Eric wanted to throw a party for some of the guys who recently retired from the department. So we set a date and did it! We had a great turnout with lots of great people. I finally met the guys Eric is always talking about...

We even had 2 guys use our local grass airstrip and fly in!! We were honored that the people who did show up took the time to come all the way up here!

We only had one accident..poor Catherine flipped off the waverunner. Her boyfriend took her back home to our wonderful hospital system down there where she is recovering...someone of course took her picture but i will not post it unless she says i can!

Anyway, we hope all of you guys enjoy your retirement !!

Mother's Day!!

Mother's day went great ! Everyone was over as usual, another excuse to eat!! The guys cooked and us ladies sat back and enjoyed the day being pampered! Bianca is having a little trouble with Aubrey still with her sleeping habits...she thinks she has day and night mixed up...so mom heard through someone at her church if you flip, not roll, the baby over 3 times (i know it sounds crazy!!) she will get her days and nights straight....HA! so you know what all of us had to do...yup! , we flipped poor Aubrey 3 times...and Mallory joined in too after we did it!!!

So did it work.??? nope!!!! Sorry Bianca!! we sure had fun trying though!!

A DAY AT THE RANCH!!

Today we were all invited to go the Smoak Ranch for buggy rides and a bbq...what could be better?? We all had a great time relaxing and enjoying each other's company. All of our kids had a blast too!!

This is our last party....

ok, so here we go again with another party! This one is for Mallory's 3rd birthday. We had the family over again , the boys were home from college and Bianca came over with Aubrey! We all took turns holding Aubrey trying to keep her awake (we think she has her days and nights mixed up) , but she pretty much slept the whole day....I guess it will be a long night for B!!!
We had a good time eating all of our "finger foods" , chicken wrapped in bacon, pigs in a blanket, veggie platter, Hokey Pokey is what Gage renamed the Hanky Panky, deviled eggs, macaroni and cheese, and BBQ meatballs...and of course we couldn't forget the cake that Josh decorated!! Mallory was so excited to open her presents! She later came out and gave Eric and I a fashion show with her new earrings, skirt and jacket and also sporting her new goggles for the pool!!! What a ham!!!

Still celebrating???

So what can i say??? Mallory and I are still celebrating our birthdays!! Dr. and Mrs Rodriguez treated us to a birthday dinner at the brand new Olive Garden in town! We always have a great time in or out of the office!!!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

So today is my birthday!! I had a great one too! It started with me going to the Smoak Ranch on Friday afternoon with some great girls for a confirmation retreat. We had a great time doing alot of stuff there and as you can see we even went for a buggy ride!!!
I didn't get home until Saturday late afternoon so you know who had the kids! Eric was great and stepped in as usual to help with the kids as you can see by the picture of them getting ready for bed!!!
Yes, i am very tired as you can see of the picture of Eric and I, but we had a great, great weekend!! I came home to a great dinner waiting for me that was awesome! Eric made ribs, cornbread, salad, and baked beans. My birthday cupcakes the kids made were over the top!! Who doesn't like chocolate!!! Thanks for a great day!! I am off to bed!!!
