Blonde = younger looking (that's the goal).

I got highlights and I love them. I like to think that I look younger, and with old age rapidly approaching... that is important! :-) The Captain Crunch is part of my birthday celebration. Matt has a theme going on here. Can you guess what it is?

Scripture Study

Levi was a little too quiet so I went on a hunt for him. I found him in my room, on the floor by my nightstand, "reading" the scriptures. He was looking for the maps and didn't want to be interrupted.

A Christmas Surprise

Levi and I were making Rice Krispie Treats. I was looking for the spray butter to spray into the pan before smearing our sugary concoction into it. This is a conversation that Levi and I just had.

Me: Hey Levi, Do you know where the spray butter is?
Levi: Yes.
Me: Where?
Levi: I hid it.
Me: Okay. Could you please get it for me?
Levi: No, not until Christmas.

Thank you, my child.

Special Delivery

If a big box shows up on your doorstep it might be Levi. He wanted me to send him somewhere.

A swinging time!

This is Levi riding his "big boy" bike on our new driveway. He was very careful not to stop fast and leave black streaks. I do realize that they are inevitable and when we park our cars on it we will have residue. However, for the first day of activity on our driveway, Levi helped break it in. I got a lovely package in the mail from my parents!! Thank you!! It's a mother's day and birthday present. I found it quite humorous, as there are TONS of different types of stamps on it. The oldest one dates back to 1991. All those postage rate changes caused my parents to have leftovers of different costs. It's a beautiful box. I have exhibited self control and not opened the presents yet. (Yay me!)

Matt mowed the lawn today. It was quite the project. He found a dead cat among the foliage. I bought a bucket swing for Dylan off of Craigs list. These swings are normally $50+ and that doesn't include the chains. I got the whole thing for $20. It's very durable and Dylan LOVES it.

This afternoon Levi and I went to visit his Aunt Kristy and Grandpa Green and see his cousins in their plays. It was a very nice visit and so good to see them! We had a great time. It's been a very nice day!

I tried to take pictures

My boys were not at all interested, nor cooperative, as I attempted to take their pictures this morning.

The Answer

A few people have asked what gender our next baby is and when it is due. The answers:
It's another BOY and he will join us sometime toward the end of August. I prefer the dates of 8/18 or 8/22, so we'll see what happens. I am a c-section so now I just have to arrange it with my doctor. Nope, I won't tell you what we are going to name him. I'd love to hear your guesses though in the comment section!
