Rat Snake

Today as John's parents were leaving this giant snake (no exaggeration) was slithering across our driveway.  His dad tried to run it over 3 or 4 times and missed each one!  Man was that snake irritated.  

My brilliant plan was to cut its head off with a shovel, but after I saw how mad and bog it was I figured I would lose, so I yelled at John to get the Camry and run it over.  

You should have seen him take off down our driveway like he was a race car driver.  When her ran it over it sounded like plastic breaking.  It was "freaking out" as we all would if we just got ran over.  

I thought it was dead until Josh and John Bedell came over to help move in our new bedroom furniture.  It was still alive!  They ran it over in their truck and then that thing finally was dead.

We figured out it was a rat snake.  This is the second one we have seen since they mowed the tall grass in our subdivision.  

Hanging with the parents

Since the boys are out of town with grandma and grandpa Markham, John and I have been running around.  Oh how we forgot the days of one child and how easy it is :)

While Kloe and I are waiting patiently in the car I decided to use some props and take her picture...

Who says bigger isn't better?

I have one of these in every color!

She is such a good sport!

Out of Here!

Today the boys left for the good old state of Virginia with Grandma Markham.  They have been excited for days!  

Caiden told his teacher his grandma was coming and he got to to Great Wolf Lodge if he was bad or not!  Little stinker...

Caught in the act!

Grandma Markham was able to see Caiden play a tball game.  We don't normally have tball on Wednesday nights, but this was a rescheduled rain out game.  She wanted me to take some pics of Caiden's back with his name and number on her phone and this was the first pic I was able to capture for her...

Yep your eyes see what I see... picking his seat :)  I just couldn't stop laughing....here are some better ones of our baseball player as he refers to himself.

Train Party

Ethan was invited to his friend Aiden's birthday party at the Train Museum.  John was at drill so Jeff Hoke took Ethan and Gentry to the party whole Katy and I had all the other kiddos.  

Jeff sent me this pic and the following text:  The boys are eating pj sandwiches in shape of Dinos and Ethan just informed everyone that he ate the elephants butt!

Leave it to this kid :)

Poopy Face

FYI

If you see Kloe making this face it only means one thing...diaper is loaded!

Ceiling fans are funny!

Miss Kloe has taken an interest in watching ceiling fans and thinks they are hilarious as well.  Here she is...

SMILE!

Kloe is smiling up a storm and "talking."  I caught some on video...please excuse Ethan in the background :)

Tokyo Moon

We had this new restaurant open up here in Yukon and we have been wanting to try it.  Tonight seemed like a great night since I have sorta given up on cooking.

We had sushi and did the hibachi grill experience.  At first I felt very sorry for the people at the grill with us since my kids were not being the best and like to talk about all the business to everyone they see!  But it ended up being very entertaining for all at the grill and they loved the boys (of course)!  

Caiden really liked the volcano onion and was jumping out of his seat when the flames came out.  Ethan just wanted more shrimp!  Well and Kloe, she slept right through it all!

Muffins for Mom 2012

Muffins for mom this year was even better because I got to eat with both the boys!  They were so excited (it is hard to tell Ethan was from the pic, but he is my difficult picture taker of the two).  All of the kids ooed and awed over Kloe while we ate and visited with all the other moms.

Shades

Ethan stumbled across these shades at Lifegroup...doesn't he just make you laugh!

Happy Girl!

We have one happy girl on our hands this morning!

Nothing special

What's not to love about this precious face?!
