Cooper's Best Friend

I took some pictures of the boys a few weeks back and never got a chance to put them on the blog.  Cole and Cooper went out to feed their dog and let her run around for a little while and she had a great time with Cooper.  

Spring Fever

My boys have been really enjoying the nice weather.  They want to be outside every minute that they can.  Cord and Cael play so good together.  They had the best day and nearly wore out the tires on the John Deer Gator.  I am so excited for Summer.

Pedro... Oh, I mean Colton

Colton is running for 7th grade class officer.  He made it past the primary election, and had to make a poster to hang up at school.  This is what we came up with.  

It was so much fun working with him to put this poster together.  Truth be told, I think that I had a lot more fun than he did.  I think that he makes a cute Pedro... What do you think?  The final election is on Tuesday.  We'll keep you posted.

16 YEARS...

Greg and I celebrated our 16 year wedding anniversary on Thursday.  I cannot believe that it has already been 16 years.  Greg surprised me and sent me roses.  They are so beautiful.  

Greg is always so thoughtful.  He is my best friend and he can always make me laugh.  I am so grateful for him.  He is a great Dad and a wonderful husband.

And the SAVINGS continue...

Thanks to my neighbor and friend Wendy.  She gave me the heads up to go to the Albertsons Gas Station and use my Preferred Savings Card to purchase gas.  I went today and got 20 gallons of gas for 87 cents per gallon.  

I just about filled my Suburban for $17.58.  WOW!!!

Thanks AGAIN Wendy!!!

Snow Day

Every year Greg and the boys build a snow sculpture.  Last year, they built a giant alligator and painted it green. 

I didn't think that it could get any better than last year, but I was wrong!  This year we have a 5 foot SpongeBob Square Pants in our front yard.  It was pretty funny watching all of the cars drive by and then stop and back up to get a look at their artwork.  It took Greg, Colton and Cooper about 4 hours to build SpongeBob.  

We even have a spotlight on it lighting it up at night.
