T's Riding Lessons

Little T riding all by herself! She did well and even trotted (on lead rope) The horse is about 14.5 hands high and his name is Dipsy! He truly suits his name!

Here is Layton playing Basketball too! He does so well! I'd love to take Credit but I haven't worked with him at all. ha ha. He is just a super kid with natural talent!

Christmas eve all the cousins!

The Ipone

So apparently Layton is going to be some sort of tutorial specialist.... He has already started making videos!

Just in case you wanted to know how to play ice cream tag....

BIG NEWS

Layton made it in the paper today!! His team is the Gold Bees. Tana's team is the Green Griffens. They have a tourney this week-end. Unfortunatly I'll be missing it. Boooo. I have a wedding to shoot. But I won't complain too much! Here is his!! I had to scan it in so the quality isn't good but you get the idea... Oh and it says doughnuts cause its timbits soccer... ha ha

Catching Up

Well I thought about doing this post a while ago.... Unfortunately (in some cases fortunately) my thoughts don't always become actions!! So here is a bit of what we have been doing lately! In no particular order.

Here is the mother's Day pot layton made me. So cute.

Here is the one Tana made me. Also adorable. It has seeds in it that haven't grown yet... But we are hoping.....

Layton and Lindsay spent a day doing this model and then they spray painted it orange, I did the rest according to Laytons ideas... Don't blame me for the crappy art work! (its a shark)

Laytons class hatched eggs at easter but they didn't get to see them hatch. It was kindof dissapointing but layton loved the chicks. He was super sick that day but refused to stay home so he could see them. The chicks came back later when they had white feathers for a day or two. Layton loved them too! Maybe we should get chickens!
Layton had a mario party for his birthday it was pretty fun we invited a few of his friends and his cousins were in town and lindsay worked insane hours but all in all we made it out alive... thats what counts right!!
His cake... Don't judge me.....

His cupcakes for his school party. They are supposed to be red bricks like on mario with coins coming out the top... It was vanilla cake with jello in side. At least they tasted good right!?~?
I made a back ground and Layton helped me so all the kids could take turns being the real mario! It turned out pretty good I think.
Any way that is all for now. Life is crazy here with Soccer every night and swim club twice a week and school and primary and Lindsays piano lessons... (He is working on can you feel the love tonight!! its cute! Oh I mean manly..... ) Also with his elders quarum and all sorts of meetings between the two of us life gets nuts but we are handling it... Mostly I think... I mean we are all alive and have all our limbs, all in all I say things are good.
Oh did I mention I got an Iphone....
I love it..... I can put it down any time I want...
I promise I can..
just not now...
Later,
Love, The nuthouse
