cWe went up to my grandparents ranch for Memorial Day weekend. As always we (especially my kids) had a blast. We left Thursday afternoon & it was 55 degrees & rainy. When we got to the rim there snow!! It is so fun to see something so foreign to us (even though both my boys were born in Colorado & we use to play in the snow all the time). It's a 3 hour drive to Pinedale so my kids watched movies & got a little bored so I started singing (super loud) to Duran Duran's Ordinary world(the song playing)& Chicago's Love Songs. We forgot the thingy (I forgot what it's called) that connects my ipod to the radio, so Bry & the kids were lucky enough to get to listen to me sing. I had my ipod so loud I couldn't hear myself singing & my nose was plugged. It was fun(for me anyways)! When Duran Duran came on I started laughing because it reminded me of 8th grade. All I'm going to say is Taco & Gut (Ami & Caryn). Anyways, it ended up snowing nonstop until Friday afternoon & then off & on until Saturday. My boys got to ride on Farmer Randy's rhino, ride quads, do an art project, a service project, & play in the mud. I didn't take very many pictures because I hardly saw them the entire time.

Saturday was the last baseball games for my boys. They each had a party afterwards & got some cool trophies. Bryon took Trevor to his party & I stayed with Kyle(sorry no pics of Trev). Even after all the drama Little League caused, I LOVED this season. My boys both did so good (sort of) & I can't wait until next season.

On Saturday after my boys games & parties we went over to Britt's for a BBQ & swimming.

These are conversations that I had with them.

I had just finished Hailee's hair & she was wearing a new dress so I told her to go show Kyle how pretty she looked.
(After he told her how cute she is)
Kyle- Mom, you should get Hailee some of those things you have hanging off you.
Me- What...sleeves? (her dress is sleeveless)
Kyle- No, those things that are hanging off you.
Me- What? Show me.
Kyle came up and touched my boob and said those.
Me- Boobs?
Kyle- Yah, boobs.
Me- Do you mean a bra?(for me they are the same thing)
Kyle- Yah, you should get her a bra. Do they make bras for babies because they should.


Trevor and I had this conversation a few weeks ago on the way home from my moms house. We were listening to a Rascal Flatts CD & he LOVES them.
Trevor- Can I be a baseball player & be a Rascal Flatt when I grow up?
Me- Yes, you can but you have to learn how to sing really good.
Trevor- I already sing good, but I want to play the guitar. Not the regular one, but the electric guitar because I want to play rock & roll.
Me- We will have to find someone who teaches guitar lessons. Maybe we should start with the piano first?
Trevor- I don't to want to play the piano, I want to play ROCK & ROLL!
Me- Stratton's mom use to teach guitar lessons, maybe when she is done with school she will teach you to play to guitar.
Trevor- SHE DOES? (you are officially cooler than me now Ami, who would have thought=))
Trevor(the rest of the way home)- I am SOOOO excited to be a Rascal Flatt! (singing) I want to rock & roll all night. And party every day!(the only part of the song he know)
He also sang as loud as he could to the rest of the Rascal Flatts CD even though he didn't know most of the words. As soon as we walked in the door he told Bryon that he was going be a Rascal Flatt AND play baseball AND Stratton's mom is going to teach him how to play the guitar (sorry Ami). I didn't have the heart to tell him that there is a good chance he won't have any musical talent because he is related to me.

I know there not perfect, but aren't they cute!

I have 2 words to describe this movie, "inappropriately funny". Some of it was hilarious, but I didn't always no if I should be laughing or not. I laughed anyways because it was funny, but I could see how some might be offended. It was completely different than any movie I have ever seen, & I pray that teenagers are really not like they were in this movie. If they are I am going to home school my kids. Anyways, I definately recommend Juno (unless you get offended easily). Go rent it!

I can't decide if I should keep this room the way it is or not. Sometimes I like, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I think the green is to bright, sometimes I don't. I kept all the receipts and left all the tags on all the pillows, so I can take everything back if I wanted to. If I do that then I want to just start over I paint the room another color, but I haven't recovered from Kyle's room yet. I do like it most of the time. What do you think? (no I didn't try to match my house to my blog. I didn't even relize it for a couple of weeks. I guess I like black, white, & green)
