EGG NOODLES ANYONE?

taylor has this little friend and they LOVE to run into the grocery store for me. They are dying for me to give them a WHOLE list and send them in to get everything.......Last night I was making dinner and I needed some EGG NOODLES so I ran the girls up to Sprouts to grab some. I reminded Taylor that egg noodles are the type of noodles we use with stroganoff, etc. and she understood what I was saying. Plus I figured since they were at sprouts and that is such a tiny place, they could always ask an employee to help them.

Well I ran and picked up my other 2 kids a mile away at my sisters house and came back to get the girls at Sprouts.....well when I got there both Taylor and Brandi were standing outside just waiting for me with nothing in their hands! They both jumped in the car and said........Mom they don't have egg noodles, they only have ENRICHED EGG NOODLES!! I about died laughing.......I said that is what they are go grab a package! Then Brandi says but they are $6.99 a package....I was like holy cow it must be a huge bag! Long story short, they came out with a box of EGG fettuccine noodles...and they read the sign wrong, they were only 3.98. Thanks Taylor and Brandi...maybe I should not be lazy and just shop myself!

Memorial day/Megan's birthday!

Megan started the day off with a new bike from mom and dad! This kid LOVES to be outside riding her bike. Randy took her to Toys R Us and she picked this cute "I Carly" bike! She loves it and rides it everyday! I love that Travis is in the background mowing the lawn, typical weekend around here! That afternoon we went to my parents and to Randy's sisters house for a bbq and swim party. Megan got to have 2 birthday parties with both sides of the family.....my kids are so lucky to have so many family members who love them and support them in everything. We had such a fun day! Happy 5th Birthday Megan!

Megan's birthday doll from grandma great

For Megan's 5th birthday my grandma has talked about this special gift she has made for megan......megan has been SO excited for her birthday so she could see what grandma-great made her. So my grandma comes over the morning of her birthday and gives her this porcelain doll that she made. It is beautiful, she made everything on it, including her clothes. My grandma tells megan all about it, how precious and breakable it is, how she needs to be so careful, how she can't push it in her doll stroller, on and on.....Well I think she scared megan cause after all the "rules" my grandma wants a picture and megan is like "NO WAY"...it might break! We had to bribe megan to hold the doll for some pictures. Long story short, the doll has stayed in my room cause megan is scared the doll will break if it's in her room!

Grandma-great also brought over many other fun gifts from the dollar store and megan was thrilled with each of them!

Also, had to throw this picture in since I'm not ever in any pictures. grandma also brought over these cute rooster salt n pepper shakers for my birthday.....thanks grandma!

Feeding the baby.....her first bottle!

Conversation at the carwash!

Megan: mom can we PLEASE sell the suburban and get a minivan?



Me: If we sell the suburban we have to sell the trailer and all the quads cause we need it to pull the trailer



Megan: So, I don't care!



Me: We wouldn't be able to go to Showlow or the dunes or Mexico if we had a minivan



Megan: Can we still go to the gas station for treats (megan's all time favorite thing to do when we are traveling)



Me: Nope we wouldn't be able to go to the gas station for treats



Megan: Forget it....let's keep the suburban!



It's all about the gas station treats!



A few minutes later.....



Megan: mom, dad REALLY needs a new car!



Me: Yep he does but we aren't getting a new car anytime soon



Megan: I have a great idea......Dad can drive the suburban everyday and we can buy a minivan!



Just a side note.....we went to california last year and rented a minivan and since then my kids are set on getting a minivan! I laugh at the idea of randy driving our suburban everyday to work.....the thing gets 8 miles to the gallon, not the most efficient when he drives 40+ miles a day! I told Megan when she gets married she can have a minivan and she said she will have 2! one for her and one for her husband!

End of the Year Awards Assembly

Both Travis and Taylor received awards at the awards assemblies the last day of school. Taylor received Principal's Outstanding Citizenship award and Travis received Honor Roll. Taylor has received the citizenship award every year and we are so proud of her. Travis has received honor roll the last two years also. (they start honor roll in 4th grade) We are so proud of Travis and Taylor. They both have worked so hard to be good students and they have done so well. Keep up the great work guys!

This is our great friend Amy....while we were at the awards assembly, she decided to make this face for the camera! I told her it was going on my blog! Love ya Amy!

Megan's Preschool Graduation......

Megan completed her second year of preschool. She has so much fun and loved every bit of it. Her teacher was Miss Christi and she was wonderful. (if any of you are looking for a preschool teacher she is awesome!) Megan went three days a week and learned so much. She is so ready for kindergarten...she knows all of her letters, knows the sounds and how to write each one and even learned how to read! We are so proud of you megan and your desire to learn! One of megan's favorite thing to do is write everybodys name on paper. If you go in Megan's room, you will always find TONS of papers with names and letters written all over them. I am constantly throwing them away, but I think it really has taught her how to write all of her letters!


For Preschool Graduation they invited all the parents and they put on a short program. They sang songs and were so cute. This particular song is called the "BOB SONG" and is Megan's favorite. The kids were hilarious to watch sing it.

Here is Megan getting her diploma from Miss Christi....so cute

Megan and Bo went to preschool the last two years together. They are such good little buddies and I know they will do well at school next year. One of Megan's classmates gave everyone these graduation doggies, they were so cute. They came with a pen so all the kids could sign them. It took Megan a while to figure it out, but once she did she thought it was the coolest thing ever!
