I have to share this picture and the story that goes along with it. Nathan decided one day that he and Lane needed to dress nice for school. Lane thought that was a great idea. The next week Lane wanted to dress in his nice clothes again. So I let him. He was soooooo funny. When he was dressed and ready for school he danced around the living room and told me he was a rock star in these clothes. When he arrived at school he strutted all the way to class. Several people told him he looked hansom including Ms. Rolland. When someone would tell him he was hansom he would say I know. It's funny now but I'm not sure how we will handle him when he is older.
Nathan wanted to be one since September. When we went to find halloween costumes, Lane could not find one that he liked and Nathan conviced him it would be cool if they were dressed alike. I think it turned out pretty cute.
I made cakes for my niece and nephew's birthday party. Originally Mariah wanted a flower cake. Then she decided she wanted to share her party with her brother so we changed it to football and cheerleader. She loves being a cheerleader.
At the party we had cookies for the kids to decorate. They had a lot of fun. I'll have to remember this for Nathan and Lane's party when they roll around. Nathan decorated 5 cookies. He had to decorate one for me and one for his dad. He is always thinking of others.
Nathan's class field trip was to the Air and Space Museum. Lane got to go along.
They got to climb into a plane and play around. Of course Lane climbed in with Nathan. Nathan enjoys his role as big brother. He makes sure Lane gets to do everything he does.
Brittney and I decorated for Kendra's baby shower. She is due Nov. 11. I'm not sure if she will make it that long. Her belly is so cute. She is one of those women that don't show any sign of pregnancy except for the belly. They are having another girl. Aspen is so excited. Brittney made a very pretty diaper cake for the baby shower.
The school fundraiser was a walk a thon. Both to the boys enjoyed walking.
Lane got tired of walking and I ended up carrying him at the end. Lane's class did not have to walk the whole way. They only had to walk the track. Lane got a little more exercise than the rest of them. 
Chance and Rayleigh came over and spent the afternoon with us. We had lots of fun.
Chance loved crawling in and out of the bunk bed. He thought it was so funny.
Rayleigh enjoyed having different toys to play with, even if they were all boy toys.
What's that. Chance said that several times that day. It was the first thing I had ever heard him say. It was so cute.
This post is for those of you who just can't picture me on a motorcycle. I have to admit it took a little while for me to get used to the idea myself. I think Jeff looks a little more natural on his. I do feel much better since we took the motorcycle safety course and we both have our endorsement on our license. So we are all safe and legal. It is a lot of fun when we get the chance to go for a ride. A couple of weeks ago the boys stayed the night with my parents and we got to go for a ride around the lake. It was a little cool in the morning so it made for a perfect ride. It was so much fun going around all the curves around the lake. My motorcycle now has over 200 miles. I hope to put more on it soon. Jeff gets to ride his much more than I do. He actually rode his to Stillwater yesterday. He said he didn't think he would do that again next week. His rear end and arms were tired when he got home.
These pictures have the funniest story. I was in the living room doing my yoga video. Which takes up the TV and bores the boys. They noticed a baby rabbit outside in my tomato garden and decided they needed to go hunting. So they go in their room and get themselves ready for the hunt. As you can see in the background it had been raining quite a bit, and was still lightly sprinkling. I quess that is why the decided on the hats. Every once in a while I could see them running by the window full force after the poor baby rabbit.
I still can't get over their outfits. Nathan the avid hunter was dressed in head to toe in as much camo as he could find in his room. Along with his rubber boots so he could splash in every water puddle he could find. Lane has on his pajama Batman shirt, his favorite pants (which are now way too short), his cowboy vest (upside down), his rubber boots and his trusty sword. I'm not sure what he planned on doing if he caught that poor rabbit.
I know I'm going about this a little backwards, but here are a couple of pics of Nathan on his last day of Kindergarten. He loved being in Mrs. Ireland's class. He had so much fun. I'm hoping the Lane with end up in her class next year. I believe she has the patients of Job, and they were always doing something fun in her class.
back. I know I'm a little behind on my blog but life happens. I'm going to try to do a little better this time. Now that Lane is in school for a whole two hours I may have a little time to do a few things I like to do. Like keeping my blog updated. It may take several entries before I can catch up from the summer. 
These pics are from the first day of school. I don't have one of Nathan in his classroom because for the first time I did not walk him to class. So many firsts.
We picked up our new baby goat last night. We still have not decided on a name. She will either be Rose or Lilly. The boys are both already attached to her. They are sitting on the couch with her even though I have told them several times, she does not need to be on the furniture. I had to get up with her a few times last night. It reminded my why I'm done having babies. I'll stick to the goat kids.
We took these pictures on Easter Sunday. We did not do much that day. We went to Jeff's mom and dad's house for lunch and that was about it. The boys did not get to hunt eggs this year. It was to cold outside. Being the overprotective mother I am I did not want Nathan risking falling on his arm again. 
These are the first picture I have of Nathan with his broken arm. He has not wanted me to take any of him up until now. I think he is getting used to having his splint. He has not been complaining of pain to much, unless he think it will get him out of trouble. He has been quite a trooper through this whole thing. I think boys are born with the idea that they can't let people see them cry, except mom and dad. When he had pins put in his arm, we had to wait outside. After they let us go back to see him, he was upset because he cried when they woke him up. Jeff and I both told him several times it was ok to cry. It's hard watching your baby go through something like that. I am thankful to God everyday that our boys are happy and healthy. 
Lane enjoyed Muffins with Mom day as much as I did. We got to go to school with Nathan for about 45 minutes. We had muffins in the cafeteria then went to his class to see how they start their day. Lane did not want to leave. Nathan loves having his little brother in class with him. I think he would take him every day if he could.
