Nature Walk # 2

So after Owen's birthday party Abby, Payton and Shaun all wanted to spend the night so they did and Chet told them we would go on a nature walk on Sunday and they did not forget.

Payton, Abby and Rylie

Daddy had to carry Evan up and down the steep hills....

They got to pet the neighbor's horses....

Evan liked waving to the horses....

Me and Daddy!

Heading home.....

Evan had it made.....and trust me that is a steep hill! And Evan has insisted on bringing the basketball with us....he carried it at the beginning of the walk and the end of the walk....guess who got to carry it during mid walk???   Yeap that would be mama!

Johnny kitty followed us on the entire walk!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I decided to be crafty this year and made the kids valentines day cards! I did all the hard work and then they got to put their names on them......

We made butterflys for Katelin to share with her dance friends.....

I made Owls for Rylie to share with her class.....

and bugs in a jar for Owen's class......

Chet and I ended up staying up tying dental floss around them because the two sided tape and hot glue gun was not keeping them on there!

Rylie took a self portrait at her party....goofball..... and her valentine box we made turned out super cute.....

Owen made a couple valentine hearts at school and Katelin got to make a butterfly while at his party.....

We got each of the kids a little bag with some candy and bubbles in it......

Chet and I don't celebrate valentines day (I tend to think it is just a silly money making holiday) but he cheated this year and brought me my favorite flowers and a card and I LOVE them......

O-meisters Birthday Party!!!

His Invitation:

We had a pirate party and here is the cake.......

and the pinata before it was smashed to smithereens.....

It's amazing how much kids LOVE the pinata but what's not to love they get to beat something to a pulp and then get candy!!!

We made sure there was plenty of candy to go around!

And what was left of the pirate ship.....

My wonderful Birthday boy......I love him sooooo much!

Owen with his friends.....

He got lots of great presents, he's a lucky little boy....

We had his party at the civic center so we were able to get a bounce house.....

play some basketball.....

We even played tug of war....

the boys won the first round....

then the adults stepped aside and the girls.....

clobbered them boys!

We sent everybody home with a pirate treasure box!

It was a fun time, i'm glad my boy had a great celebration!

Daddy opened the window so they could watch for me and the kids to get home!

Owen has his music program at school, I really had to zoom in to get close up so it is kinda fuzzy. He wasn't happy about being a butterfly and I couldn't find green sweats so daddy's idea was to get gray ones and dye them and it worked!

My funny little charcters.....

Katelin dressed up as a fairy.....oh I mean devilish fairy, right? No just a fairy....the horns are real!

My little Minnie Mouse....

My other little Minnie Mouse.....

And this is why.....

we don't throw balls in the house!!!

we shouldn't leave Evan alone with Daddy!!!

Rylie is so talented, she made her little sis look like a greek goddess out of 2 blankets and a stretchy headband!

Daddy is such a good provider....he works hard not only doing the work but spending hours giving estimates!

I shouldn't let Evan watch the boys play Xbox, he's already wanting to join them!

the saying boys will by boys is applied in my household!
