Weekend in the Mountains

We spent the weekend up in Lowman (kid free) with Walter, Danielle, and Andrew. They had never been to the cabin before so we did our best to show them the ropes! Andrew had a great time with Uncle Von. It was quite entertaining to sit back and watch as the "boys" try new things and experience the outdoors.

Summer School!

Since I am staying home with the kids this summer, I thought it might be a good idea to have some structure and learning in our lives for my sanity! Therefore, Mrs. Webb's Summer School was created. The kids and I sit down for an hour, give or take, and get some learning done together. Each kiddo has a workbook on their level that they are working through with incentives and rewards. Our first reward is a trip to Roaring Springs. We are also doing the summer reading program at the library to earn prizes. Should make for an exciting summer! Here are some pictures from our first day of summer school. Notice how they are ALL working and quiet....will it last?!?!?!

4-wheelers!!!

Well we splurged and bought a few ATVs to enjoy at the cabin. We now have two "kid" 4-wheelers and one "grown-up" 4-wheeler...oh, and a trailer to go with them. We have had a great time so far riding around Kuna, the neighborhood and even took them up to Lowman Memorial Day weekend! We had a blast at the cabin...there are some pictures of us around the campfire being silly. We attempted to smoke pine needles but it didn't work too well! We had fun trying though!

Easter with the family

We had a wonderful Easter with all of our family and friends! The kids hunted eggs (indoors cause it was too cold and wet) and then we had family over for dinner.

Our All-Star

Of course ALL the kids had a wonderful season and are All-Stars but we did have one that actually made an All-Star team...EMMA! She had a great season! Emma improved so much this season. She is becoming quite the soccer player! Maybe she will follow in her momma's footsteps...

Another season done!

Yes, it has been awhile! With 4 kids playing soccer, school, etc. there never seemed to be enough time for mom to sit down and blog. Well, now that most sports are over with (baseball now!) and school is out, hopefully I will be able to be a better blogger! Here are some pictures from Spring soccer this year. Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Lavon and I decided to make Valentine's Day not about us this year but about the kids, showing them how much we love them. So...the day started with each kiddo getting an invitation to dinner reminding them to dress up and fix their hair :). We then started the morning off with an attempt at heart shaped pancakes. It was a little more difficult than I thought so after the first round, the hearts disappeared. Next, we packed up and went to the Discovery Center. The kids had a great time going through the exhibits and exploring. After that adventure, we headed home to prepare for our special dinner. We blocked off the kitchen with blankets and sheets and decorated the table with lots of hearts and love. The kids were so excited! We had a hard time keeping them away! I made popcorn chicken, mac and cheese, and corn for dinner (gotta be kid friendly!) and we had heart shaped brownies with ice cream and sprinkles for dessert. They loved it! They got to use Valentine champagne flutes and eat by candlelight. Here are a few pictures from our special day together!
