The First of Many

We celebrated Mother's Day a week late since Tom worked on Mother's Day. So on Saturday I had breakfast in bed :) and per my request we bought my flowers for the yard and planted them all together as a family. Tom has sweetly made it his goal to rid my yard of the dandelions I hate so much and once my yard is weed free I've been promised a hedge of Cranberry Vanilla Honeysuckle bushes. On Sunday we hopped in the car and headed to the cabin for the day. The weather, although a bit windy, was one of the better days we've had. We got to see Grandmommy and Grandpa for the first time since Thanksgiving so the day was extra nice. We are more than ready to spend many a day at our dear sweet cabin on the lake.


It's hard to believe by looking at this picture that these two exasperate me more than words can say. I'm either a glutton for punishment or a mother because there are no two boys I'd rather be with. Love them with all my heart!

Sounded like a perfect and relaxing Mother's Day, which you deserve. By the way, the pictures of you and the boys makes my heart melt.

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
