question

I am very frustrated with adding pictures to my blog, they never want to move where i want them and i spend like an hours trying to get it set up... i am just bad at this or is this common?

simple perfections

i decided to atempt going to the beach by myself with my boys...









i was a little hesitant because this was also Riley's first trip to the beach, and i was not sure how he would like it. it turned out to be a great day just Momma and her men i had a great day splashing and playing together

Orgnization?

I think my husbands definition of organized is slightly different than mine...

welcome to our garage... one point of frustration i have with this moving and new house thing

i need to admit i am NOT a neat freak but this garage frustrates me i can never find anything and i never know where to put things. gardening things, toys,car tools, car parts, wood tools, old clothing, school books, candles, boxes, trash, parts of our old bathroom, parts of our old house, oh yeah and my car ...uggg! i need help :)

is it summer yet?

why does it seem that whenever i finish up all of my dishes i feel like it is time to start making a new mess?

today was no exception with this dreary weather Connor and i decided to mess up the kitchen baking some cup cakes

Riley and Connor then thought they should take all their toys out in the toy room...

mother's day suprise

my Husband let me be alone today for about an hour and when i came back downstairs this is what i found....



... Love

I can take you for a ride on my big green tractor

Connor and i mowed our yard today! wile we were mowing Connor was singing the "lyrics" to Jason Aldean's big green tractor song..."going for a ride on a big green tractor"..."we go fast we go slower"...

we also went to a flower store and i got more peppers for my Garden since i had some bunnies eat my poor little ones that i just planted... i also planted some marigoalds to hopefully stop the bunnies for getting to them again :)




i also got some herbs to use for cooking... we will see if they make me a better cook or not :)

rainy fun

Daddy bought a new grill... so Connor got a new fort

its been a rough week..(so far it is only Wednesday hahaha)

Riley has been sick and not sleeping.... and Connor got a black eye

Project: balcony door

the project of the day was to paint our balcony door red. nap time came around and for a second i thought i would be able to work on the door. Connor was very interested in what i was doing. i gave him a bucket of water and a foam brush and let him "paint" the driveway with water. Connor Pollock had a great time for about 15 minutes he soon changed from painting the driveway to painting himself. we decided to get out the pool and play in the water. i have to admit i love working on things for the house.... but to play with my boys is also high on my list. both Riley and Connor enjoyed splashing in the cold water...

I turned my attention away from Connor for a moment
and he decided to fill his pool with flowers from around our patio...which actually made for a great picture....





After playing in the pool and a few hours of work at the awesome outlets i came home with some energy, enough to finish the door so here are some before and after shots of our new red balcony door
