May on the iPhone

Alternately Titles: The iPhone... The only place Mommy takes pictures these days!

And here we go....

My Mother's Day necklace Ryder made me at school

 Best buddies playing in the shower at the Little Dipper pool

Silly Boy :)

 Taking family pictures on FaceTime while Daddy was up in PA, and we were still in FL

 Lots of Mommy pictures with her boys because we sent a lot of pictures to Daddy this month while he was up in PA starting his new job

In this picture here my kids were sound asleep... I had to wake them up for a thing at school for Hailey. Within seconds both were screaming! Waking up your kids is the WORST!!!

 All better and on our way to the school :)

 I love Ryder's kisses

 Playing with the water table at Dyson's 1st birthday

 The birthday boy!! I can't believe our babies are one!

 Ryder and his partner in crime Connor. These two probably did this slide over a hundred times at the birthday party.

 Hitting the bottom of the slide with his buddy

 Ryder, Sophia, Landon, and Dyson taking a bath after the party

 A good morning picture to send to Daddy

On Mother's Dady Ryder fell asleep on me... What a great present!

 Soooo sleepy :)

 Showing off his new basketball outfit

 Ugh Oh....

 This morning both my boys woke up with fevers...

 Watching toons with their blankies trying to feel better

 That fever made him exhausted :(

 The next day they felt all better, and we went to Cathryn's (Uncle Ryan's girlfriend... and an old friend who we love!) house and got to swim in her lake

 And go tubing!! My 27 year old body can not hang like it use to... I paid for this fun time the following days!!!

 Landon loves to give Molly lovin'

 Ryder decorated some of the moving boxes so his Uncle Cole and Uncle Dalton would see them

(They are 5 and 9, and Ryder has since met them.... They totally hit it off. It's all i've heard about!!)

 Ryder played hookie from school this day because he was excited for Daddy for fly in for a few hours before Mommy and Daddy left for PA with the moving truck

 Being silly... Landon was sleeping in the car so we were giving him a few minutes rest :)

 Looking for Daddy's airplane

Derrik and I in the moving truck moving our stuff

 Meanwhile... The boys were in Florida at Grammy and Mack's... we got lots of pictures throughout the week....

Picture during FaceTime with my sweet boy...

Whew... what a month... After this last picture I flew back to Florida for one last week in Florida with my boys... I'll be back to blog about that soon :) 



C'MON

Just before life got completely insane with moving, the kids and I headed a half hour south with friends for a day at the new children's museum in our town, The Children's Museum of Naples. No one else had a huge desire to go, but I really thought it would be a lot of fun. After a few weeks of coaxing, we all finally settled on a day to go down. We sure were glad we did :)

Connor and Miss Megan drove down with us in our car, and we meet Miss Amanda and Miss Jaimie down there with their kiddos.



The museum was perfectly geared towards the older kids age. It had some building stations, mazes, pretend fishing, a tree house, a vet clinic, a restaurant, a farm, a grocery store, the four seasons, and an outside water area. They could have played here all day.... and pretty much did. It was so great for their imagination! It was also set up really great for the babies. They had several gated in areas to trap them into so they were happy and content as well.

Lost in the maze

 He caught a big fish!!

 Burrrr... It's really cold in this igloo!

 Throwing leaves up the air the air shoot with Connor. They then shot out the top and looked just like Fall :)

 Doing the local weather

 And finishing the day with some finger painting.

We had such an amazing day!! It is days like these that we will miss so much up here. We couldn't have asked for a better group of friends!!

...and the hiatus is over!

WOW! I wasn't intending for quite a hiatus from blogging. I am so far behind, but am hoping to get caught up over the next week or two. Things like packing up our place, moving, unpackng our new place, saying bye to friends and family in Florida, saying hi to family up here, getting our new place settled, and taking care of two boys have left little times for blogging. We are officially all moved in. The boys and I got up to Pennsylvania really late Saturday night, and everyone is adjusting quite well. Rest assured that although blogging is behind, there was no lack of picture taking the last couple of weeks.  For now though... I'll leave you with a couple of pictures of the boys playing outside in our new yard tonight :)
