HAPPY SUMMER TO ALL:...........

The fun just never ends!

I don't know who's idea it was to put all their ties, belts and every pair of underwear they own on, but it's what's known as "gettin fancy"....according to Caden

Crew came out all 'dressed' up and said...."Look at me mom....I'm fancy pants!"

In June, Clay was in a play with his cousin Mac......yes, I did say Clay.....And hell has definitely not frozen over

I told Crew to get in the bath one night and he came right up next to my face (cause I was on my knees getting the water going) and he said "Yes Sir"and saluted me....so I made him repeat it for me on this video

O.k. so I thought I'd post this funny conversation I had with my 6 year old yesterday so I wouldn't forget.......

CADE:  "Mom, I don't want to get married and have kids"

Me:  (thinking...."Oh crap have I traumatized him that much?)......"Why Cade?"

CADE:  "Because I don't think I'm going to find a girl to marry.....what if I don't, Mom?  What will I do then?" 

Me:  "Cade, you're a cute kid, you'll find a girl"

CADE:  "Yeah, but dad found you at school and there might not be a girl at school for me"

Me:  "Let's not worry just yet.....Mom and Dad will find you a girl if you can't  :)"

CADE:  "Alright"

It was Cole's 11th birthday yesterday! His Grandma Harper took him shopping and for some lunch and then we went as a family to Big Surf for the afternoon.....when we got back his grandma and grandpa Miller brought him over a gift and his sweet Aunt Tammy made him a delicious cake......all in all a good day!  When I was tucking him in he said "Mom, it was a really great day!"  If only every day could be this great....

side note:  disregard the scary face Clay is making...he always tries to get in the pic.....I don't know where he gets that from...:)...Aunt Jami?!It's a tradition now to decorate their rooms for birthdays....in the morning they always tell me they knew I was in there room decorating because they were awake....yeah right....not many people can snore and also be awake :)

Cole is moving on to 11 Year old scouts.  But he's sure going to miss his fabulous Webelos leaders Norma and Peggy...they were absolutely great!
Before school ended Crew and I went and saw Clay's skit he did at school...Crew thought he was living big going into his classroom and sitting on the big chairs!

RANDOM PHOTOS:  

Cade had a singing program at school that he was so  proud to be involved in and totally stoked that his cousin Braeden and Grandma came

See if you can pick him up out of the crowd...that kid cracks me up

Here's the crew that came to hear Cole at his violin concert

I'm not sure who these people are :) but they were standing next to Cole, so I snapped a shot anyway

IT'S SWIMMIMG TIME:  EVERYDAY!?!  By the way, they have been swimmimg since mid April...crazy yes!

sidenote:  I'm not sure I would have chosen this particular name for the life jacket

I know major snuggy right?!  But at least it's better than his last "life jacket" with the built in blue spandex shorts....he's just excited to be out with the boys!

The kids had a 70's dress up day at school and this is what they came up with......

Of course Crew had to have a shirt too

We had family night with the Miller fam at the park.......there's nothing better than a little kickball...

A little brotherly love action......yeah my camera is sad...or maybe it's the operator

Crew and his cute cousin buddy Sammy....."she's my friend"

I'm finally getting around to putting some pics of Spring Break: (Hawaii)

Paul won me a sweet coconut leaf basket with his mad spear throwing skills

I told the boys that I'm pretty sure I wanted to retire here or buried here....which would probably be cheaper
we're trying our basket weaving skills....mine were pretty null and void

We took Cole and Clay with us and the other cuties stayed with my sisters, this is a pic Jami took at the ballgame with them.......Cade's got his game face on
I'm not sure what I'm doing with the stance, the hair....not sure, but it's a pic in the sub nonetheless.....pretty crazy what these men lived in for months at a time

Here the boys and I are learning a Fiji dance.....notice the boys in the background...poor boys got my love for the stage....

It's been a bloggity long time since my last post....it was Pinewood Derby time again..Paul's favorite :)  But to everyone's surprise Cole took 1st place and Clay took 3rd.......let's just say the Miller cars aren't known for their speed!  So it was a heck of a time!

Jack Black and Will Ferrell

LISA NEXT HUSBAND WHEN I PASS ALONG TO THE DEPTHS OF FIRE AND BRIM STONE

My idea of a fun Saturday!

Paul finally took me with him to the "boy club", and now he might be sorry he did....cause he's not going without me anymore! :)  Cole and Clay came to and had a blast...shooting handguns, machine guns, and blowing up bombs....Good Times!

Will Ferrell Bud Light Commercial - Hilarious Super Bowl Ad

If you are easily offended...look away! :)
P.s. Does the outfit look familiar?! The inspiration for our Christmas card!

It's a kite flying day:  the easiest family night ever 
There was the occasional "oops the kite is caught on the roof" scenarios, but all in all good times!
Yes, it was cold and no, Clay thought he didn't need a jacket... Mr. tough guy

"Paul, I'm pretty sure we got the kites for the kids.."  he was like a kid in a candy store.

Crew thought he was pretty awesome....of course this was taken just moments before an "oops I can't hold on any longer, and crap it's on the roof again" moment :)

P.s.  Yes, those are tire marks in the backyard where Paul was doing brodies in the yard....what an example!

To my dismay, this is 1 of 3 outfits that Crew will wear......I try to hide them, but he sniffs them out somehow

These pics are a few months old but who cares

 I love how bringing home a piece of flex will make the world go round....I'm pretty sure they were entertained for about a week.......boys....it doesn't take a lot

Here's a few pics from our trip....not many blogworthy ones......I usually don't have the camera when those "candid" moments come along

Paul's sending this pic into Baywatch for a possible "running on the beach" scene.....it's still playing in Japan....right?! :)

Here's the "the dork in the box" pic.  There was this compartment right by the door inside the room to get your room service........so what should we do with it...."let's see if we can fit in it."........Mission accomplished......he was stuck .....so I left him and went to get a massage....:)

It's nice to know that things still keep rolling even when we're gone........

Sorry we missed your birthday party Crew......but I think you did all right without us...

I love that smile

Aunt Jami loves her some kisses......I don't think Cade minded at all!
I couldn't hear the music....but I'm sure it was absolutely beautiful!.......

Side note:  One of the first pictures we took of these two was Crew biting and kissing Blayke's neck....future Edward?!.....maybe
My lovely and "crazy" sister took the boys to Skateland while we were gone....love ya Kara!!

Mama Mia.....yes, that's my mom with a black eye....this picture doesn't do it justice

MAKE A WISH......he's probably wishing for more blankets :)

that boy loves him some blankets!

WARNING:  The following pictures may be disturbing..........

o.k., so when Clay first started gymnastics we ordered his uniform and he got the girl leotard instead of the boy's......so, I was cleansing the kid's clothes, and Crew found it and wanted to put it on.....and it begins.....I'm pretty sure we've ruined his chances to hold a political office,.......

Look at those bi's and tri's.....grrrr!

TA-DA

I added this picture cause I want you to notice that Clay's wearing my slippers......

but I have to say that they are cozy   :)

And Last but no Least...

All I can say is WoW, he's definitely ready for his broadway debut

(the funny thing is as I was posting this, I was listening to Dancing Queen from ABBA........and yes, my boys were dancing)
