no more training wheels!

I'm so thrilled for Hayden!  

This morning he decided {with about 5 minutes of help from dad, and Lily} he was going to ride his bike like a big man!

He's so pumped that he is now officially a bike rider!

We have such a fun summer ahead and now with no training wheels he won't get off his bike at all!  He'll be riding from sun up to sun down!!!

one spoiled momma

The kids brought home fun treats for me this afternoon.

I love these hand-painted pots!

Layla gave me coupons and one is for a nap! whooo hoo!

Layla is the sweetest little lady.  I love that she thinks I am cool.  Sometimes I don't feel so cool!

Hayden is funny, he said my favorite store is Aldi and my favorite food is steak!  Sounds like his favorite food to me.  

My favorite show is Duck Dynasty!  hahaha!!!  These questionaires are the best.

I am so excited to celebrate Mother's Day this weekend with my little family!!  I am blessed.

caterpillars are taking over!

The kids are loving the millions of caterpillars in our yard right now.

You'll look down and one will be on your shoe, or on your shirt.  At first I freaked out, but then I realized they are sweet little soon to be butterflies!  See the one on Hayden's shoulder, and the two on the bicycle brake cord?

They are every where and the kids even put a few in their bug catchers they got for Easter.  It would be so fun if we actually got to see one turn into a butterfly!!  I'll keep ya posted!

Mozzarella and Romas

Gary came home for lunch and I made these yummy tomatoes to go along with our tuna fish sandwiches.  They are so refreshing and delicious.  I just sliced one large roma tomato and topped it with very thinly sliced mozzarella cheese.  I seasoned them with salt and pepper and roasted garlic salt.  I baked them on 450 for about 7 minutes or until the cheese bubbles.  Then I sprinkled them with chopped basil leaves.  I can't wait to make them again!  They are a great and somewhat healthy side dish.

The last soccer game of the season

Hayden got a medal today at his last soccer game of the season.

I have really enjoyed watching him get better and better with each game.

It was a little hard for him today because his allergies have been awful and he is wheezing so bad.  I wish he could have played more and ran faster, but he was really struggling.

He's excited to play again next year!  

dog gone bone!

Lily is so obsessed with her bones lately.

Every time she goes outside she takes her bone and when she comes back inside she wants to bring it in.

That's all fine and good, but sometimes the bone is slobbery and covered in dirt.

So, since I love her so much I'll clean it off and let her bring it inside.  Oh my this pup is so spoiled!
