What Would You Do?

What would you do if you had a baby chick that grew hair straight up?

Will I Survive?

It's the second day of summer break and there's all sorts of shenanigans happening at our place.

The list begins here:

• Clean boys go outside and are instantly covered in mud.


• Charlie climbs to the top of Brent's Jeep.


• The boys befriend a stray cat after being told time and time again to leave the cat alone. The cat spends the morning thinking it lives at our house. I have to use the broom to shoo it away. I hate cats.


• Marcus and friends find a lighter and experiment.


• Both boys are sent to 'time out' for various reasons.


• Charlie sneaks and eats all of the homemade chocolate covered pretzels (with cat germ covered hands. YUCK!)


• I call Brent to let him know what's going on at home and he laughs.

And this is just the beginning. I'm VERY sure there will be more to add to this list as the summer continues. I'm scared.

A Blessed Day

We blessed Gwen on Sunday. It was a perfectly beautiful day. All of our family came to celebrate this little angel baby. We had brunch and enjoyed eachother's company. And she slept through it all.

Kindergarten Graduation

It's true, Marcus graduated from Kindergarten.
Marcus and his teacher, Mrs. Ellsworth.

...School's Out for Summer!!!...

Mr. Pouty Pants

Turns out Charlie HATES bowling!!! Except for when he likes it. Are we surprised? Not at all.

Bowling

Here we are bowling with cousins in Las Vegas...

Trampoline Face

Marcus and his 12 year old friend Jordan thought it would be a good idea if Marcus got on Jordan's back and then Jordan would jump on a trampoline. And this is what happened:

More from Gwen

Oh girl...

She's Here!

Gwen Simone Castagnetto

born Sunday April 13th 4:24am

7lbs. 6 oz. 18.5" long

We're so excited to have her here!

P.S.

I'm still pregnant. I'm due tomorrow but that doesn't mean much.

Chapters

This Chapter is coming to a close and I'm feeling way too sentimental.

This Chapter has involved so many good times.

We've been so many places and seen so many things.

My 2 boys have brought so much love, excitement and fun.

But it is time to move on. There is no turning back now.

Now, now we look forward to the great times ahead with a little sister in-tow.

Easter

WOW!

Look what happened... I posted again.

So much has happened in the last 2 1/2 months.

Here's what's been going down-

*Brent turned 30.

*Marcus lost 2 teeth.

*We've played a lot of Rock Band (is it bad that a 5 year old knows Nirvana and Blink 182 songs? You ask yourself that.)

*Charlie went to Sunbeams twice, all on his own!

*I've counted down the weeks until our new arrival (only 2 weeks and 4 days left.)

*We flooded our crawl space.

*Brent has thoroughly enjoyed cleaning out our garage time and time again!

*Spring Cleaning.

* I quit my bow-making job and now I feel free as a bird.

*Lots of playing outside- in the snow and now in the sunshine.

*Brent and I spent the night in SLC enjoying some RandR.

And too many more things to mention.

Now I must start my list of "to dos" before this baby comes and rocks our world.

p.s. I LOVE spring and I can't get enough of my tulips!
