Fishing

If you asked them, the boys would say that their favorite thing to do is fishing! I think bug hunting is a close second though. They are happy when they are chasing, catching, and hunting insects. But it is all for the greater good of 'fishing'. Here is Everitt and his first trout of the summer. He caught it on Lake Granby, apparently that day all Coltin could catch was sucker fish (2 of them).

My New Business

For those of you who haven't heard I now have my own internet greeting card business!

I was introduced to Send Out Cards, back in May. They offer a selection of 12,000 cards and it is so simple to place an order, you can even personalize it with a photo. The next day the cards are printed, stamped and mailed and you never have to leave your home. It's great and there is much more they offer.
You can check it out and send a card for free at:

or contact me, I'd love to tell ya more!!

More May

Corbin actually accomplished rolling at the end of the month. Traveling all the way across the living room. It was great. He also got the walker moving both forward and back, but still not crawling, all though he does get onto all fours. Here he is now 8 months old. We always get lots of smiles and raspberries from him. One of his little habits is to chew on his index finger. I wonder if he will be a nail biter?

For Mother's Day Justin took our photo in bed instead of all dressed up and formal. Thought it would be easier.

What happened in May?

Was May really 2 months ago? Let's see it was starting to feel like Spring, which I absolutely love!!! The kids started spending more time outside bug hunting. Everitt's preschool group ended the year with a cute little play, "The Wild Thing". He got to introduce the play and be an extra. He was also awarded the High Five Buddy Award from Miss. Sheila. She said he is always a friend to the kiddo that needed it the most.



Coltin was scheduled to graduated from Kindergarten the same day the crazy TORNADO hit our area. His school was on the edge of the storm and had baseball size hail. At home it was not as bad, but sitting in the basement with the kids was still nerve raking. Well all power was lost till the next day and they had to postpone his big event a few weeks. It still turned out to be a good graduation. They got to sing a few of their songs, both classes together almost 40 students. Mrs. Shearer awarded Coltin his diploma and pointed out that he was a quiet kid but when he had something to say he definitely spoke up. She also shared that he was very kind and helpful with fellow students. Good Job Coltin! Here we come 1st grade. I don't know if I am ready.


Just have to show you Alayna's hair. We got it into braids. She really likes having them. Before and after...

We also found out this month that Laura is having a Girl!! Congrats!


Here's Everitt on his bike, missed the photos in the last posting.
