Play Time

Dashtyn loves to lay there and watch cahsen play and play, somtimes it can be over stimulating though!


 and when he is forced to kevin will join!
Chasen is now his master. he has started to feed him in the mornings and when we leave chasen is the one to chain kevin up. Its funny to hear chasen call for him and kevin will look at me (because I really am the master) and then he will follow chasen
 he also sleeps in his bed at night among all the other puppies. Last night chasen had him wrapped up in a blanket

Margarita Mama Day!

We celebrated all weekend! starting off firday night with a bonfire with friends and cute kids!
 Ryan and Chasen had fun playing  all night long we just left the porch door open to our house so they could go in and out but that meant lots of moths and june bugs to clean up the next day. oops!
 The kids enjoyed smores and popcorn while the babies slept up stairs
 saturday we relaxed, went to the park and out to eat with Joellyn for mothers day
 saturday night we went to curch
 and mothers day morning we went to lake mcbride to watch dad compete in a duathlon!
it was quiet eventful, dashtyn pooped his pants and I had to change him in the stroller, he peed directly up his nose, in his eye and on his clothes, the only extra clothes i had were shorts and it wasn't warm enought yet. Chasen decided he had to poop when we go to the bottom of a huge hill (see below) so I had to hurry and run up it about half a mile down the road to the bathroom and he made it but peed on his pants too. We were a smelly bunch!
 chasen was scared I was going to let go and he would fall
 when we got to the bottom we started to have a picnic but Chasen needed the bathroom
 daddy switching off the bike to run 3.1 miles
 daddy and the boys
 we came home after the race I took a nap and Ean and Chasen picked me these flowers and made me a card!
 then we went to coldstone for some ice cream
 then to the coralville dam
 where Ean found this!!! It was a lucky mothers day:)

we came home and I was able to go on a run alone. I went so fast ;)  its amazing what you can do when you can use your arms!
I am one lucky mom!!!
