CARLTON'S: May 2012

Graduatuion

Ryder Graduated from Pre-school. He was so lucky to have all the support from loved ones.

They sang some songs about what they learned through out the year. Ryder was anti hand motions. He would sing but wouldn't do any motions.

Grandma Jean and Grandpa Gary Maih and Mazie and of course Jaxon

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa

After we went to Jcw's to eat.

Miss Jodi

Grandma Mel and Joani and conner( in there somewhere) and Jacob all came

The graduate and brother

Ryder and Bowdy. Everyday I would he about what they played that day.

Our little family. So proud of Ryder!!!! Thank you to all who came.

As you can tell the boys were way excited for a camp out with dad. Lane was crazy and slept in the back of the blazer. He had to sleep kiddy corner and have a kid on each side of him. Let just say he didn't sleep well. Neither did Jaxon. Lane said that Jaxon kept waking up and lane would say what are you doing he would answer "nuphing" It was a long night for the two of them.

They went fishing, with no luck. I asked Ryder if he missed me he said "No because you always boss me around"

While they were gone mommy had a date to herself. I went and ate at cafe Rio and went to see a movie then ice ream. It was weird to wake up the next morning to a quit house. No one wanting out of bed or breakfast and cartoons.

T-ball 2012

Go Astro's

Ryder has started t-ball. The first game he played first. He stopped alot of balls and even got a few outs. They moved him to short stop and pitcher. But they dont have pitchers.

I have to bring treats for this one. He want to go see Ryder all the time and play ball with Ryder. He ate all the treats I brought, thank goodness grandma had a sucker in her purse. CraZY Monkey!!!!

He looked so big out there. Had some good hits.

Yes I made him pose on third base. It was funny, every time he came across home plate he would pose with the tee, like, I made it , take a picture. I finally had to tell him keep going kids were running behind him to touch home plate. Stop posing!!!

Mothers day

My first try at strawberry Jam!! I got a little to excited I think I ended up with like 22 tubs. Last year I only did like 11 of raspberry and that lasted a year so we are really good for a while.

Happy Mother's Day To Me!!!!

Who would be a proud mom with these cuties. I had mothers day early because lane worked. The boys took me on Friday to Kneaders for breakfast. Then after school lane took me to a movie the lucky one. He was so excited!! Nothing is harder and more rewarding than being a mom. I love my boys so much. And wouldn't trade all the crazy and hard days for anything!!!!
So since lane was working all weekend I decided to go home for the weekend.

Amber was brave to get in with all the kids in there. They love the hot tub. Jax did eventually get in he just had to test the water.

After church we headed over to staci's for a pizza party. Everyone was there. It has been a few years since all the kids have been together on mother's day . A extra present for mom.

Can you believe how we have grown!! All the grand kids.

The breakfields have a batting cage at there house. All the kids took a turn. Ryder had a few hit of the pitching machine. Which is impressive to me, we just started t-ball this month.

After that we headed home. The kids we way wore out and sad to go.

Fire station field trip

Ryders class took a field trip to the Fire station.

Learning to stop drop and roll

Watching a movie abut fire safety

Learning about the ambulance

All the tools

Telling the kids not to be scared if they see this guy in there house and not to hide.

The ladders and water tank

The fire pole. They let Miss Jodi take a turn on the pole.

Weee!!! Ryder said mom you go now!! Ummm maybe next time.

Ryder and the Fireman

Drawing a fire truck using shapes

Ryder and Bowdy his best friend.

After all the activities they ate lunch at the park. They all got fire hats to take home.

motor cross

For the past few years my cousin Johny has been over the motor cross with CBS sports. So he would give us some tickets. But every year it has rained. But this year we had Joani's, Staci's and my family go and mom and dad. It was a little cold but we were prepared.

I left Jaxon home with Grandma Jean. He was a little sad and didn't understand why we all left him. The boys have been into motorcycles lately so I thought this would be the best thing.

Lane my mom and I had seats in a different section then every one else. So I go over to check on ryder and see if he was cold.

Baby Conner was all bundled up to stay warm. Such a cutie!!!

And this is what I found.............. Ryder brought some toys and the kids were playing with them instead of watching the race.

Me and my honey snuggling to stay warm.

As you can see we had good seats. We are new to the motor cross thing. It is crazy to watch. They have so many bikes going at once it is hard to watch it all. Then you hear a ooooooooooo and you look and miss the crash or whatever happened. The last two races were intense. It was fun to be with the family!!!
