My trouble maker got himself stuck behind the couch today. What a little stinker! It wasn't very easy getting him out. This first picture reminds me of when Ethan was little. My Mom was watching him and he got stuck in the couch and only his little head was poking out.
This pretty tree just outside of my kitchen window, behind my kitchen sink, makes me so happy every morning. When I'm doing dishes or getting breakfast made for the kids, I'm just a little happier doing it all because I have this pretty pink tree to look at and enjoy.
I don't know if it's just my kids or if there are others out there, who have to pat down their cereal in their bowel before the milk is poured. I think it's funny! Everyone of my kids have done this. They even have to get all the cereal smash down in the milk with their spoon before they start to eat. It's they same little routine ever time they eat cereal. How many of you have kids who do this same thing?I have caught Bryson several times with marker or pen all over his body. I wasn't too surprised this morning to find him covered in marker . I love that he loves to color or draw I just wish he could keep all his art work on paper and not his skin.
I was looking at hairstyles on the Internet because I want a different look. I asked Travis for some help because I care the most about his opinion and he said what he always says " I like your hair long and I like it short." or " You look good no matter what you do." that is very sweet but I want him to give me more than that. I know that not many people read my blog especially now that I've gone private, but I would like some opinions on which style would look the best on me.

Pony rides are the best! It was so fun to see the kids riding along on the ponies. Each one of my kids had big smile on their face.
We had a great time petting the farm animals. The little pigs and the kangaroos were my favorite.
This deer was in the movie Twilight and it made Lexie very happy. After petting it she said " Edward touched this deer and now I have Edward germs." This deer made Lexie's day.
The Farm had a big box filled with corn and pinto beans. The kids had fun doing corn angels and playing with the tractors.
Travis pushed each one of our kids in the big swing and spent some time being a cowboy.
Saying goodbye
Was the hardest thing to do.
I never thought I would
Especially to you.
You always listened
And knew what to say,
Knew when to give a hug
When I was having a bad day.
No one will ever take your place
I can always promise you this,
It’s hard to find someone like you
So know you’ll always be missed!
Travis can't live without his Mountain Dew Slurpee's. He has to have one before work and then stops and gets one on the way home. Travis even gets cravings at two in the morning and has to go out and get his Slurpee fix. He goes to 7 eleven so much, 
the people there know him and give him free Slurpee's. Because he's one of their most frequent customers. Travis has a Slurpee addiction! No one loves Slurpee's as much as Travis does.
You know me and how I always want to change my look. I was going to put dark red or some other fun color in pieces of my hair but instead I dyed it Auburn. People always call me a red head, I don't know if it's because of all my freckles or if I really do have lots of red in my hair. I guess Auburn isn't that big of a change. It isn't a permanent color and will wash out so It wont be red forever. I just thought it would be fun to change my look up a little. I think I will wait until I see Carrie again and then I will have her put purple or red in my hair, but for now it's going to be Auburn.
I'm getting very tired of picking up packing peanuts! Travis has been very busy with his eBay business and he has his packing materials upstairs in a pile. Bryson is always getting into Travis' Pile of packing materials and it drives me crazy. He loves playing with the packing peanuts! They are always all over the place. I have even found a packing peanut stuck up in Bryson's nose. Packing peanuts are very hard to clean up. It's even harder to clean them up when they are in pieces. They stick to everything they touch and then you find yourself walking around with packing peanuts stuck to you. Once they are finally cleaned up and put away, Bryson finds them and then we have another mess to clean.
I absolutely hate doing laundry! Laundry is never finished at my house, it just keeps on coming. If I don't keep on top of it everyday, it will take over my home. During spring break I played too much and didn't keep up with my laundry. Yesterday I had to pay for my laziness because I was doing laundry all day. I had Laundry coming out of my ears and it's still not finished. When I wash my kids clothes I always find little treasures in the washer and the dryer. Can you guess who's pockets all of this came from? If you haven't already figured it out it was Ethan's. Ethan goes around my house and collects everything. You need to make sure all your money is hidden well around here because if you don't Ethan will find it. After taking this picture I had a load of laundry come out with at least four dollars worth of quarters in it. I have talked to Ethan about taking money that doesn't belong to him and he apologized and then told me that he just likes to collect money. Ethan also likes to collect keys, batteries, locks and small toys. I try to get these treasures out of his clothes before I wash them but I always seem to find extra stuff in with my laundry.
We went to Lava Lanes for family night last night and the kids had a lot of fun. Bryson was the winner of the night, Lexie came in second and Allison third. Bowling isn't my favorite activity to do with the kids because they are always running all over the place but we had a good time together.
Lexie colored her hair for the first time yesterday. She colored it a reddish brown color and then we took he in to get her hair cut like Alice Cullen (the girl on Twilight). I love how her hair color brings out her pretty blue eyes.
After the Crater Rock Museum we went to Hot Pots and the kids painted their own plates and mugs. Hot Pot's is such a fun place, even Travis was enjoying himself. Bryson had fun but he only painted for a little while and then wanted to play with the sponge and the water the rest of the time. I think we will be going back to hot pots soon because everyone has such a good time!
