Yesterday, was my Aunt Lisa's birthday. She passed away 5 years ago this February. She would have turned 50 years old. She loved birthday parties, especially her own! So my mom, my boys and I, along with my Uncle Bob and Aunt Jo went to the cemetery where she is buried with some balloons and some flowers.

We all got to let go of a balloon and say "Happy Birthday." Carter and Troy were really excited to let a balloon go up to Heaven for Lisa! We watched the balloons till we couldn't see them no longer. At one time the balloons made a "L" formation in the sky. We all joked that it was Lisa's way of saying thank you!

And a special Thanks for that someone out there who sent these flowers to my sweet grandma and for thinking of her on this day! They are beautiful!


We miss Lisa dearly and think of her often.
We love you Lee!

It's Easter in January!

The other night, Tanner told the boys that if they went to bed right away the Eater Bunny would come and hide eggs around the house. I pulled Tanner aside and told him that it wasn't Easter yet, so he couldn't say that to them. He turned to me and said "Don't worry, Mom." And then he jumped in bed with the other two.

About 20 minutes later, Tanner came out of his room and said "Mom, the boys are asleep." He then got a bucket of plastic eggs that he found in the basement earlier that day and started to fill them with all of the leftover Christmas candy that we had. He excitedly hid the eggs throughout the house and then went to bed.

The next morning, he woke the boys up and told them that the Easter Bunny had come and left eggs for them to find. He was so excited following them around and watching them open the eggs.

Tanner is such a sweet older brother. I am very glad that Troy and Carter have such a great brother to look up to. I love my little dude!

Two down, Many to go!

Tanner lost his 2nd tooth last night!! It has been loose for a little while now and he was too scared to pull it out. Well, last night he finally found the courage to pull it out. GO TANNER!

While he was getting ready for bed he scrubbed the tooth with his toothbrush, so the tooth fairy wouldn't have to touch a dirty tooth. (He is such a clean freak, just like his mom! HEHEHE) Then he fell asleep without putting it under his pillow. Maybe tonight he can get some $$$$

Swimming Lessons

For the last couple of weeks, Tanner and Troy have been in swimming lessons with their friend Jackson. My boys love being little fish in the water. I asked Carter if he wanted to sign up, but he just said "I'm fine." He loves watching from the side with me.
