I'm the Lucky Duck!

We went on an awesome Mother's Day walk.
The kids loved picking flowers for me along the way.  And I loved receiving them!

I

AM

ONE LUCKY DUCK!

WOW!!! How did I deserve to be my sweet angels' Mother.  I know that they are the stronger ones. They are the ones ready to be exalted...The righteous examples sent to me to make sure I'd return back to Heavenly Father. Thank you my angels for your patience with Mommy.

I love you for forever-I love you for always- for all eternity, together we will be!!!

Good Ol'Fathers and Sons

Tanner counted down the days until Father's and Son's. This was Tan's fourth time. I know, lucky guy. He was our only son at the time so Daddy couldn't wait to take him right after he turned three. Daddy had anxiously waited two years to take him.

Tan showing off his new favorite toy or should I say Dad's new favorite toy. For the past six years Daddy has wanted an RV. Mainly to make memories in and secondly for Emergency preparedness. Nelly holds tons of propane and gas!

The Kalaji's were able to help break in the motor home for her first run.
The boys loved every minute.

Tanner thought it was cool to watch the pig roasting. Glad I missed that.

I'm so thankful Daddy spends so much QT with the kids

He knows just how to make them feel extra loved!!!

WE ACTUALLY MOVED!!!

Mr. Busy Body!
Kaden was a good sport during packing and moving! I would have to say it took me twice as long to pack the house with Kadster being 18 months! All the other moves my babies were younger.

I was the general contractor for all the construction of the house.
The kids ate, napped and watched one too many DVD's in our car during that month.

The kitchen before...

The kitchen during construction!!!

We added some walls and demolished some others...Added this cool pocket door...

Our scary contagious shower that we couldn't salvage until...

The miracle Esther performed and saved us about $700!!!

Sweet Brookie Love was being the most patient helper.
She sacrificed lots of fun Mommy time while Kaden napped and while Tanner was at school.
She was a trooper, packing and cleaning right along with me.
