Mom! There are girls in my ears!!

Growing up, Dad would always hold us down and pop our toes. Each toe that popped represented a boyfriend. Tyler has carried on this tradition with our boys, changing it to girlfriends of course :) The 4 younger boys and I were going to school and Orrin yelled out in a panicked/shocked voice "Mom! There are girls in my ears!" then he just started to laugh. It took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about. Once I figured out that his ears had popped, I died laughing.

And just for some laughs here is little Van entertaining the neighbors one night.

Whats not to love about this kid!

Jesus forgot to put eyelids on snakes

Orrin and Vivin had a snake man come to their school today. He brought a real snake, not a toy one, that was yellow and black. Vivin told me that the snake sleeps with its eyes open, it tries really hard to close its eyes but it can't. I asked if the snake couldn't close its eyes because it didn't have eyelids. Orrin spoke right up and said that Jesus forgot to put eyelids on snakes. Too cute.

Way back in March Tallon had his Blue and Gold Banquette for scouts. We had to bring a themed dessert, Spring has sprung: Your families favorite spring activity. I made a sand/dirt box with fun trucks and things. Not a huge fan of how it turned out but the boys loved it.

Tallon giving me my Mother's Pin for his bear. I was going to crop this pic but I wanted to remember Bro. Beals the cubmaster and the Bolton's, Tallon's leaders.

I not only get a mothers pin but I get mothers kiss as well.

So the amazing Bro. Beals arranged for Bro. Jackman to bring his "pets" to show the boys. We had scorpions, spiders, cockroaches, lizards, and snakes, and SnAkEs, and SNAKES!!  Tallon chose to help hold this disgusting beauty.

He didn't think much of having it try to crawl down his shirt though!

All the boys loved the snake. Tyler took the pics because I was on the far end of the building, staying as far away from the beasts as I could!

Tallon has done a great job with scouts. He really enjoys his leaders and who doesn't love snakes at pack meeting?!

Conny!!

This is what Van calls Conn. You will hear him runing through the house yelling Conny Conny Conny. It is adorable.
Our dear and very sweet neighbor, Bobbie, has been telling me about the baby owls down on the greenbelt. This afternoon the boys and I went to see if we could find them and we were so happy that we did!

You have to look close but there are three of them there. Two of the babies and mama.

Two of the babies

 The owls live right by the bike track so the boys were in heaven

Love Orrin's faces in these

Notice the Dana tongue

Van's wreck of the day

This is the creek bottom at the bottom of the green belt. It is about 5 min walk from the house

Is he not the cutest!!!

No pics of Viv's crash just the marks 

Viv loves this picture because both tires are off the ground

Start of Orrin's crash

Ouch!!!

Thinking he is dead

Showing how he felt right before he crashed

They are growing up so fast. Look how cool they are

Where we call home

We had a great afternoon. Tyler really did good when he picked a spot for us. All of that is just a minutes walk from our front door!!

A few more

Family pics are always so much fun. Van wouldn't look, Vivin wouldn't stop crying, Tallon was doing weird things with his hands, Orrin was being a clown, Conn isn't old enough to know better, Tyler never smiles, and I go crazy. Sounds like fun, huh.

Still we got one that will work.

Love this one of my boys. How lucky am I?!??!

All the fun of a fart without the stink

This is a Tyler saying, I will let you use your imagination as to what he is taking about, one hint it has to do with the record setting on his phone.
Speaking of fun we did pics of the boys.

Brace yourselves they have changed!

Here is little Conn at 5 months
