Skype

Sometimes by the end of the night I am done. I have no more patience. No more stories to tell. No more desire to read. So what should I do? We call Grandma and Tiger on the computer and they tell the story.

Best Idea EVER!!!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

T Ball season is over. We played in 13 games (missed 2 more games) and enjoyed it all. The top picture is from the beginning of the season. By the end of the Season Crewe was able to hit the ball from the Coach pitching. It was so amazing to watch our son try something new. Join a team. Work hard. And totally reap the benefits. Way to go Crewe!

10 YEARS

Ten years ago Rich and I decided to become a family.  And what a great family we have. I love the kids. I am crazy loving my husband. As we were out last night celebrating, Rich and I dropped some Gelato off for his Grandpa. I said to him, "Grandpa, today Rich and  I have been married for 10 years." He replied, "We made it 72 years". So really 10 years, just a drop in the bucket. But boy it's the best drop.

Camping Soon

*2009*

We are off to the woods again this weekend. I really think about this weekend all year long. It lingers in my mind for a couple of reasons. I ALWAYS freeze. You would think that being from Montana would mean I wouldn't have my head in my tush but you would be wrong. I ALWAYS am stunned at how dirty my child are after the weekend. The amount of clothes that we go through.... AND the crazy amount of laundry when I get home. Crazy amounts. I ALWAYS mispack something. One year I brought one sweatshirt for myself for the weekend. Last year I only brought one shoe for Crewe. I ALWAYS am impressed with the food. We eat like kings. There are nine families that all go camping together. We all chip in for the food. Planning, cooking and preparing. Truly, like Kings. I ALWAYS have the BEST time! We sit around and chat. Play games. Visit. Read magazines. Go for walks. Stay up late talking. As stressed as I ALWAYS am when planning, I still look forward to the next year. 2010....here we come.

Mother in the Hood

My children were put in bed last night at 6:30pm. I dreamed that I put them into bed at 4:30pm. That was the kind of day we were having. And really it was my fault. I let them stay up super late on Saturday night and didn't enforce a nap for the small one after church. Dayne wouldn't eat dinner without a prequel of chips and I wouldn't give on a chip dinner. I am feeling rather defeated in many categories today, especially motherhood. We had a rough week. We missed dance class, skipped baseball and I forgot to pick Crewe up from school on an early out day. What to do about it? I decided that the best thing to do is get down on my knees, sleep it off and start the week over. Be grateful that Rich has today off.

Mother's Day 2010

Hitting the Pool

We hit the pool last weekend. I must admit that I was not in my swimsuit but I was sitting by enjoying the warmth and my kids happiness. We had a great time chatting with our friends and hanging out. Here's to a good start to summer.

Yesterday

Yesterday we made our annual trek out to watch the Amgen Tour of California Bike Race. It was a lot of hanging out for 10 minutes of biking. Rich was thrilled! Ps Lance Armstrong is in one of the pictures. Can you spot him?

what Up

Here is the thing.... it is hard to blog with out pictures. I have not taken pictures since Dayne's birthday. So I took my camera with me this week and... didn't really take any pictures. But I will try again this week. Wait, I did take this shot of dayne brushing her teeth. It is for her reminder chart to brush her teeth.

Mexico

My Aunt's house.

We had a great time in Mexico this year. It was fun that Rich and my dad also joined in the fun. We ate lots of good Mexican food. Chips, salsa, guacamole, cheese crisps. Yum. I read a book on my dad's nook, almost broke the Nook and then decided to read a paperback. We laid in the sun, laid on the couches, visited, road the Rhinos, jet skied and have an AMAZING time.

What Up

Well. Where to start. I guess I will make a list. Oh and the picture has nothing to do with this post but I had it pulled to add to Dayne's birthday post. It is a picture of Crewe on his 3rd Birthday.

Oh I am still in a pj's. I need to:

*unpack from our trip to Mexico

*start the millionth load of laundry

* brush my hair

*brush my teeth

It's Here!

I was about 5 weeks away from having Dayne.

Schofield Girls Weekend 2010 here we come........

Crazy Things I Do Part I

I know that I do crazy things. I know I do. I like that I am like that.

So for today I will tell you this crazy thing I do. When I am reading a book and I read a description of what the character is wearing. And I don't like what they are wearing, I change it. So in my mind they are wearing cute, matched and up to date clothes and always have their nails painted.

The Report

The baby girl is Three.

Yes, her name will be BABY dayne still.

The older brother got to come and help at the party. I even checked him out of school early to attend the party. I think he liked that part the best.

Hide and Seek

Rich and the kids were playing hide-n-seek. I don't know how he will ever find them.

Happy Birthday Baby Dayne!

Three years ago our family became four. We love Baby Dayne and don't intend to drop the Baby from her name. Happy Birthday Sweet Girl. You are feisty, smart, silly, sweet and a total delight. I interviewed her about her favorite things. I changed the first answer to favorite food. She replied, cake. Which I guess she likes but it is not what she requests, everyday, like number one on the list.
