Blake's Birthday #3

My little man is 3.. He is getting so big!!!

We had a fun day a Grandma and Grandpa Roe's house

with family.

This is him in his new Diego Car.. 

He loved it but he was wondering where is the GO .. or the gas. 

His Reeder uncle's gave him this and the first thing he said was"oh oh Ah Ah!" Silly Monkey

I think he got a little spoiled but what do ya do.. He's only 3 once, or so I told Andy!!

I made this so fun Lego cake for him and he thought it was the best thing ever!!! Cause he LOVES LEGO>

He was so dang cute when we started singing happy Birthday, He was suddenly shy!! Crazy Boy.

That was my weekend and it was a busy one at that. I'm still painting and wishing it was over but soon so very soon then to the spa a go......

My Side Job!!

That's right I have been so cooped  up lately that I  had  to get a job and get out of the apartment and I'm now a working mom.

It's nothing serious just a side job, I've been doing the prep work and painting on a house Andy built and as painful as it is I LOVE IT!

Even if by the end of the day I'm a mess and my finger's are bleeding( from caulking  all the baseboards and casing) I still really like it.

I must be strange Right??

Well to all you full time or part time working moms you ROCK!!

It's hard to have to go to work all day and come home and you still need to be a mom and a wife. But by the end of the day I feel like I have accomplished so much more and I feel like a better mom for doing it. Does that make any sense?

And that's my life for right now. Nothing exciting but just a nice change 

for the month of April!  

 

Just an update on our new house there's a roof , windows and all it needs now is shingles.

It's coming but not very fast. 

And if Andy wasn't so dang busy this year things might move faster.

 But we are just happy that there's work.

 

And that Spring is around the corner I HOPE!!!

Go Girl!!!!

Well I just stumbled across this and think it's ingenious but a little different. 

It's called a FUD!

What do you think???

The First Snaring!!

So for all of you farm girl's you know that

 when you see a gopher and there's snow on the ground it means only one thing!!

SPRING!!!!

And even if the ground hog saw his shadow or not, when you see one of these guys you know spring is coming!!

So last Saturday the weather was beautiful so I took the boys out to grandma and grandpa Reeder's farm...

And uncle Casey took Conner out to snare gophers and I was a little sceptical so we fallowed  and sure enough they caught not one but 2 gophers!! 

My boys just love to go to the farm and

 that day was probably the best so far!!

Baking Day!!!

MMM... Butter Horns!!

So today was my first baking day that I have had since we moved and  I went all out!!

Andy has been bugging me to make Butter Horns  since forever so I thought I would attempt  them and they actually turned out and there so dang YUMMY!!

Even he thinks so or at least he likes the icing!!!

So today has been a great day in my little kitchen and out of it!!

Not only did my baking get done but so did my roof on my house and tomorrow we'll have windows I'm so thrilled. 

It's about time!!! LOL

Vegas

Vegas Baby!! It was so much fun and so much to do. 

So we headed down to Vegas last week for the World of Concrete Show!!

It sounds like fun huh! Not really! But at least Andy was into it!! 

While we were there  we took in a few shows!! 

THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!!!!

That's right we were in the price is right show in VEGAS!

So much fun it was pretty much the real thing except no Drew Carey.

No I didn't get called down but it was still a RIOT!!!! 

Sorry no pictures of the show but you missed out! We even had bright neon green shirts to wear. We went with a ton of other general contractors and employees from southwest concrete. So the shirts were there idea not mine. 

It's been so nice to get away but I so glad to be home even in this dinky Apartment.

And to my two sweet little men!!!

...........................................................................................................................................

So this is my Blake! What a cutie huh!!! Even with the bruise..

So lately he has become a master Lego builder. And that's all he 

Thinks about

Dreams about

Talks about

And Wakes UP about

 In the MIDDLE Of The NIGHT!!!

That's right he goes to bed with his Lego guy and his yellow steering wheel!!!!

And so last night he woke up so distressed and sad,  I ran in there trying to calm him down

and I kept asking him what hurts! what hurts Blakey!

And the only response other than hiccuping crying  was

WHERE"S MY LEGO GUY!!!!!!!

This is my Master Builder!!! 

He was so proud of this Lego boat he built I just had to get pictures

its not much but he worked for at least 1 hour on this!!!

I'm so glad he's a creative child and can play on his own sometimes!!

Oh and YES he is wearing boxers under that boat!!!!!
