Freezer meals

I've been prepping for the start of the school year by making some freezer meals to have on hand for the busy nights when I just don't have the time to cook. For some reason it excites me to see that I have 10+ meals just waiting for me in there :) I'm not one of those people who have the time to spend an entire day prepping, cooking, and freezing....but it is easy for me to split my meals in half and freeze one. School starts soon and although my work schedule won't be any different than it has been this summer, I feel better prepared for the nights when homework and practicing spelling words will be consuming a bit more of my time. 

Joint Birthday Party

Since the month of June was so incredibly busy, we decided a joint birthday party was the best way to celebrate Collin's 4th birthday and Carson's 7th birthday. The race car/semi theme turned out cute and was a ton of fun for this mama to plan!

 Pit passes were handing out to the arriving guests.

 Gum balls & jaw breakers to say "thank you" for coming to celebrate with us.

 Racing flags and balloons hung from the walls.

 Many smiles occured on the faces of these cute little boys as they unwrapped tore open each present.

 Cash was well, what can I say....Cash during the party. He distructively pushed his truck through all the toys, boxes, and wrapping paper.

 Love this adorable picture of Mr. Ledger!

 Michelin Tire Baby :)

 Of course our favorite cake place in town wasn't making cakes the weekend of the party so we opted for an ice cream cake. It turned out okay but the boys enjoyed it and that's all that matters!

Happy Birthday to my very special little boys! We love you to the moon and back!

Moving Day

June 9, 2012.....Moving Day.....The day I officially became behind on my blog!

*Updated pictures of our beautiful new home coming soon*!

Birthday Boy

My sweet little Collin turned 4 years old on June 6th. Can you believe it?....4....yes, 4 years has gone by incredibly too fast. He is by far the most "mama's boy" that I have. He tells me all the time how much he misses me. I honestly think it's his way of saying he loves me because he'll even say it when I'm home all day. In fact, he just came out of his room (where the little stinker should be sleeping) to tell me he misses me!

Since his birthday fell so close to the big moving day, we didn't plan a party for this little guy. I convinced him that it was okay to share a party with his brother in July. He was easily convinced, as long as I promised him a race car party. A race car party....I've only heard about this race car party since the day after he turned 3! I still wanted to do something special for his actual birthday so he go tto choose for himself what he wanted to do. We enjoyed an early evening at the splash ground, a super special Thomas the Train present, and a cupcake complete with a candle match. It ended up being quite the special day for Mr. Collin!

Happy 4th Birthday Little Man!

We Love You to the Moon and Back!

Mom & Dad

Slip N Slide Fun

My mom was up to visit the Thursday before Collin's birthday and she gave him this Slip N Slide. All 3 of the boys have had so much fun playing in the water.

Dozer

I came home from work one day in May and Dozer was unable to move and visibly sick. I carried him to the car and we drove him to the vet. They asked to keep him overnight so she could run some tests. She called me an hour or so later and said they had found a mass in his stomach and were unsure if ate something he shouldn't have. He was too weak to do surgery and she hoped he'd make it through the night. The next day they went in and found his spleen was twisted (no mass) and therefore they removed it. He spent several days in recovery trying to build his blood count back up. He was finally able to come home and we are happy to say that the surgery has resolved his year long vomiting problem!

One Year Old!

I'm so far behind on blogging, but I hope to get caught up soon! Here is Cash's one year picture. He's the only one that I took monthly pictures of and I am so glad I did. It seems he is growing faster each and every day.His measurements from his well-baby checkup got misplaced during the move so I need to call the clinic and get them written down in his baby book.
