Foto dump

The last month has been fairly calm as far as traveling, but there are still lots of moments to remember.

What do you do on a lazy Saturday? Use your imagination of course.

Bombs away!

Think they are brothers? I was changing out school photos and I went through every one's old ones. I found this and had to show the side by side.

Mason's music class performs for the parents.

Hanging out with best friends

Yep. Wrestling in the grassy area in front of our house can be hazardous to your teeth. Drew had just noticed in the afternoon that one of his bottom front teeth was just a little loose - didn't have to wait long for that one to come out.

Dallin's 4th grade music performance - Ode to the 70's...

Go Easton Go! He loves (I should say loved) riding his tricycle on the little trail in front of our home. Of course that is until we accidentally left it out of our gate one night. If it is left outside the gate, it is gone. So sad for Easton. He talks of it often. So we pulled out the small bike and put the training wheels on it.

Drew joins in the fun too.

Staring at his reflection in the glass sliding doors. He did this every time, he would be looking at him self and being like, Oh yeah, I'm cool.

Stories to Share

I wanted a little space to share funny everyday happenings. So this is it ---

Dec. 3, '11 -- John Deere Water Chile had invited the John Deere Financial Chile employees and families to join them for their Holiday celebration. We traveled to the event which was about a 45 minute drive to a place we had never been to before. We took several detours prior to arriving and it was this day that Easton began to say "RECALCULATING". Sounds funny come from him instead of from Hailey, which is the name of the female voice on the GPS.

Nov. 14, '11 -- After arriving in Santiago and a long flight on Sunday, we were trying to get settled in our new home. We went to the grocery store to get the necessities and upon our return Easton declared the following. "I am not getting out of the car. this is not my house."

Sep. 21, '08 -- Then tonight we sat down and Mason announced that Mark needed to be president so that he could get all the candy he wanted for free. Priorities, priorities, priorities.

Aug. 12, '08 -- Yesterday I was doing laundry, seperating the clothes, and as I was checking pockets I pulled out a little stone from Drew's pants. This is one of my favorite things to pull out of my kids pants. I am always amazed and awed by my children. They find happiness in the things that I pass by everyday and fail to notice. The little things in life count and as I pull those rocks out of my kids pockets I am reminded just how much joy there is to find in this life. Thank you to my children and the inspiration they give me!

Jun. 19, '08 -- So I was upstairs and I heard Dallin and Drew go out into the garage. I went out there and they were playing in the car. I told them to get out and come inside. I then proceeded to tell them that the car was not a toy and to not go out there and play. Dallin looks at me and says, " Mom, it's a "TOY"ota Sienna, with a huge emphasis on the toy part. Really, a six year old should not be able to come up with that kind of comeback. I just laughed....

You had to have seen the Disney movie Cars to really appreciate this. So I'm running into the grocery store with the kids and as I am about to go inside Dallin and Drew stop and start pointing to something, while jumping up and down, laughing, and screaming "Fred! Mom it's Fred! Fred!" A couple of seconds later this large Ford Bronco that obviously weathered MANY Iowa winters and salt on the roads drives by. It is rusted all over, the place above the wheels no longer exists due to all the rust eating it away. The men in the Bronco had their windows down and just waved at the boys. I'm not sure they had any idea why my kids were so excited to see their car. I just laughed out loud! (Fred happens to be an extremely rusty car that is one of the main character's fans)
