Flat tire

Walked out of Walmart to this. It wasn't good timing but could have been worse!

8 year anniversary

We have been working every night at the fireworks tent. Thomas surprised me with the beautiful flowers on our anniversary! Under the red tent, they look really red!

Demolition Derby Night

We love to go to the Demolition Derby and of course they always have a carnival. Mom and Kg took the kids to the carnival where Thomas and I met them later. The kids had a blast at the carnival and we enjoyed watching the cars beat each other up!

Library Time

Waiting in line for library program Melissa is reading a book. Tyler enjoys reading the book...that is until he notices the boys playing a video game!

Broken

I had to take this picture because I was having a hard time describing what needed to be ordered and replaced. My mother in law because being nice while we were recently out of town and cleaned the house, but she broke out vacuum handle. Worked out nicely though because we can order another one and this one can go upstairs as a 2nd!

Chuck E. Cheese makes people do some crazy things!

At Chuck E. Cheese with friends, Tapanga decided to hitch a ride with one of the girls and somehow I ended up wearing tickets?!

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...

Well maybe not for Christmas, it is June afterall. Tanner lost his 2nd front tooth. It looks kind of gross though, becuase of that extra piece thats hanging down...not sure what that is!

Corn

Corn is the crop of the year...I bet the deer will love this!

My feet in the sand

Oh, how beautiful the ocean and sand are! What a wondrous creation!

Catching a Picture "In the Moment"

Sometimes, those pictures you get "in the moment" are not the best quality. This would be a good example, but I caught Tanner hugging on both girls as they watched tv, while visiting Hilton Head.

The Salty Dog

At Hilton Head

Beach Girl

Enjoying Tybee Island

All tuckered out!

Its bedtime, but I guess the kids decided to sleep in the playroom!

Project Time

The kids love to do Lowes projects! Today, its airplane building.

Watermelon

The kids love them some watermelon!

Dance Class of the Year

Today was rehearsal for Tapangas dance recital and her class was rewarded with dance class of the year! I am not sure how when we had a couple people who hardly ever showed up, but so very exciting! Which, I love her pose in this picture.

Moving Day

I have to move from my classroom to a new one for next school year, actually I am moving to the room next door to the one I was at the year before.

Tanner has his arms full!

Tanner was doing his recycling and decided to "load up" and carry as many as possible...of course he needed someone to open the door!

Is that a stick?

Coming down the driveway after work I saw this and thought, "Where did that stick come from?" Then, the thought was, "I don't think that's a stick!" So I got out to get a closer look and it moved away!

Pool Time

It got warm enough today, I thougt the kids would enjoy "swimming" in their little pool!

Playing with your food!

We went to dinner at Red Lobster, Thomas played with his food and made this interesting character!

Pretty Picture

I really love this picture Tapanga made at daycare for Mothers Day!

Strawberry Patch

These are our strawberries growing this year. Maybe we will get some nice, pretty ones.

T-ball Dressing

Sometimes, getting ready for t-ball the boys get into all kinds of positions!

Our new favorite game

We have been playing this game, quite regularly and are really enjoying it. I would have never thought I would enjoy playing scrabble.

Visiting Santa in May

The kids each had to take their picture with Santa while in Pigeon Forge at the Apple Barn...Thomas posed them each like Santa!

Stamped On

A student took my name stamp and was playing around before the NJHS ceremony and look what happened! A student got stamped...on his nice white shirt!

Baby Snake

This is a little snake, but still a snake the boys saw outside.

Mothers Day Brunch

In celebration of Mothers Day, Tyler's class had a mothers day brunch and invited all the moms to come. Tanners class did not participate, but I was able to bring him down and celebrate with us. I am very thankful that I am able to take time off from work and participate in these activities, I felt bad for the kids who didn't have moms come and tried to include them in our conversations! It was a sweet time with my boys!

Making Pictures

Tapanga wanted to make a story, so she took all the papers and laid them out to draw out her story.

Art and Author Night

Tonight was art and author night at the boys school. All up and down the hallways were pictures that the students have created in art class. Each of the boys had one piece of artwork on display. Above you will see Tylers rainbow.

Tanners Ant Picture

Tanner drew this picture one night as we were playing cards and it has quite the story. According to Tanner the picture shows a sunny day with rain on its way. The house has a flag that will fly away in the wind. Their is a little girl and her big sister. The birds in the sky are interesting because Tanner says the smaller ones are the ones that are further away not just smaller. And the ants are in the ant hill under ground. Tanner can be very detailed in his pictures as you can see with this one!
