The shiner and the sunburn

This is my new sunburn! I need to stock up on new sunscreen asap

My little rough neck lost her battle with the trampoline springs and is left with her second black eye in 2 weeks

I hope nobody turns me in to Child Protective Services.

She is still smiling and thinking of new dangerous activities to hurt her other eye.

Happenings

Jaxon had his first 2 games this week. He absolutely loves playing baseball and is getting so much better. The Tigers lost their first game and won their second. I am cracking up about how serious he is about baseball and what a little rule follower he is. I am also cracking up about where in the heck he got the rule follower gene (not from his parents)!

The Mr. and I went out to some strange Irish pub on Saturday night where we found an array of colorful characters. Most patrons were wearing plaid, just escaped the Renaissance Fair,  even playing bagpipes. We had a surprisingly good time and I got to show off or (embarrass) Roscoe with my River dancing skills.

Pallet Gardens Rock

This Is the start of my salad garden made from a recycled pallet! I can't wait to fill in the holes with different lettuce breeds and slather them all with homemade Ranch dressing!
It was so easy.. All I did was direct my husband and take a trip to the local nursery for some compost and lettuce starts. That Teton Valley living for all those years must have turned us Eco-Rangers after all. Who would have guessed?

A plea to the BEIB

Look at this nice shining innocent face! This is my little bro Matt. He is pure roommate material in every sense of the word. He is clean, loves mormon boys, can get down to the Justin Beiber's Christmas album, loves his mom, and can out calculate most Asians. He is looking for a roomie!

Justin beiber.... Won't you be his roomie?

Easter in the hood

Laynie secretly loves me more than most people. She lets me hold her, snuggles me, and gives me love pats. I am convinced we have a special bond. I am working on teaching her to sign, "Aunt Afton Rocks".
Ivy loves to swim and sported her floaties with  pride.
This is a picture of the Easter swimming crew (minus Laynie) 3 of them belong to my sister, Breanne who conveniently forgot her bathing suit. Good thing all of her kids are great swimmers!
I do have a long pony tail blowing in the wind that you can't see in this picture. I did not bob my hair as you may think from this picture. We had a great Easter at my mommas. I kept my hair long and we hunted more eggs than I care to mention.

Ross and Ivy fed the geese stolen rolls from the brunch that we enjoyed at the SHILO

The kids loved the live Easter Bunny that randomly hopped into our room while we brunched our hearts out

I have been collecting proof that I live in UTAH

This one speaks for itself
Sadly I have become the one in the middle since I have been living here. Well, sorta.

And my personal favorite.... The stuffed missionary

Tough Chick

Check out Ivy's eye in this picture... I may be guilty of letting my little girl wear a way too small Cinderella costume all day long but I don't abuse the poor girl.Her newest battle wound is from falling off of her bed. She is collecting new scars and scrapes everyday and I am embarrassed to say that I don't know how most of them even happened. This girl is a rough neck in every sense of the word.

Do you see how dirty her feet are?  They go perfectly with the scrapes on her knees. I have sadly said so long to my dreams of a little princess that begs to have her hair curled that wants to wear sparkly dresses. This chick is rough, tough and meaner than any little boy I've ever met.
