Life as we know it...B U S Y ! 5/1/2009

Since Koda has outgrown his little bike Adam brought him home a new "big kid" bike! He loves it and would ride EVERY second if I would let him!
After a terribly FUN spring break (note the sarcasm) I knew I had to get something for the kids to do before summer break hit us! I found this little 6'6" trampoline that the kids are having a BLAST with it! It has been a great toy that they will have fun with for many moons! Thanks Overstock!
When Grandma and Grandpa Williams said they were coming down and staying in a hotel~we said~do they have a pool? So we were going over to go swimming but were sidetracked by going over to see Stacie's very pregnant horse, and Dar's Baby Goat. Koda was blown away finding out that I had a "second mom" and HAD to take a few pictures of her and Stacie. We have known Dar and her family for probably 25 years-I watched her kids growing up-now to see them all grown up makes me feel REALLY old! We can't wait to go back to see the little colt whenever Stacie's poor horse delivers! The poor thing is more than TWO weeks overdue! I couldn't imagine! So in the end we didn't go swimming, but had a great time seeing all of the animals!
Koda Bear came running outside in one of Bailia's leotards a few minutes after she had put one on to jump. He is such a crack-up! In the middle picture Bailia is telling him "see how your boobs are poking out? That means you have it on BACKWARDS!" Silly boy~you always know how to make us smile!
Adam had to get his throat and stomach scoped to see if there were any abnormalities (he is A OK thank goodness) we waited for about an hour and a half for him to come to. Koda tried his hardest to wake his daddy up and in the end just held his hand.
During the wait though Koda and I were borded. Since I had been taking pictures of Adam, Koda wanted pictures of himself. Which started a very long goofy pose picture session-most too embarrassing to post! =)
Last night Jaden had the season end Gymnastics party at Pizza Factory! Devin did a great job putting together a DVD of pictures from throughout the season. I am so thankful for the friendship that Jaden has formed with both of his coaches (Devin and Jermey) they are so good to the boys and look forward to the next season!
Sure they might look cute, but mice are DISGUSTING! I will spare you the pictures that I actually took and just post a nice picture of ol'Jerry! Why the post you ask? Well, in the past two week we have caught 19, yes NINETEEN mice in our backyard! Now I understand that we live next to the great outdoors but 19? Come on!! We have SO many traps set up it is sad-but luckily they have all been caught on our patio and not in our garage or (knock on wood) our house. I told Adam that if we had that many in our house we would have to MOVE!
The sad thing is LONG, LONG ago when I worked at Southgate, in our maitnence shop there was a little mouse that had a litter of babies. ALL of the guys wanted to kill them-the Snow White that I was back then HAD to save them! I carried them without gloves- (oh gross I think I just vomited in my mouth) and saved the little creatures! Maybe if I would have continued to work outside I wouldn't have become so disgusted by everything, but I became a mom. A very overprotective, germaphob mom.
