Our little Derrick is growing up WAY too fast! He turned four today...going on forty! He is the sunshine in our family. Loves to give loves. Always willing to hand out hugs and kisses, smiles and funny words. He is a riot! He is full of life and loves to explore and try new things. I love to watch him sleeping. He seems to rest the best. He still looks like he did when he was a newborn when he's asleep. We are so glad he's a part of our family and look forward to what he's going to come up with next every day! Happy Birthday Derrick! We love you!
This is Dustin's Dad. I will never forget that day, the day his first grandchild (Dallin) was born. He had a smile from ear to ear and has for the boys ever sense. He loves them, it shows without saying. Thank you for teaching our Dad all you knew. We love you!
More of Dustin goofing around...I have to admit I like this one though...he's sweet.
This weekend started off with a bang when the Herbison family came down for a visit...we had A LOT of fun! While the big kids went boating Grandpa and Grandma took the little kids to the splash park for a while. We practiced our picture taking and had a fun time at Judd's Country store.(Side note: Their bread sticks are amazing!)
This was hilarious! Dallin dumped a bucket of water down his pants and they just about fell off!
I have finally found it! The secret to clean toilets and fridge water dispensers and anything else you can't get the hard water off of! The other day I had a repair man looking at my oven and I asked if he could give the dishwasher a once over just to be sure it looked ok. There was a little hard water build up and he said that if I got some "Citric Acid" at the local health food store and put a little in the soap compartment and sprinkle a few tablespoons on the door my dishwasher would look like new. He also said if I ran it through with my glasses they would come out looking like I had just taken them out of the box from the store. I was a little skeptical, but thought it was worth a try. It comes in a little bad and is kind of pricey (About six bucks) but it goes a long way. It looks like rock salt or a really gritty dishwasher soap. I tried it first on the dishwasher and it worked like a charm! All the hard water gone, the glasses looked awesome! I've been chiseling off hard water from the little tray where the kids drip water in the fridge door getting drinks, so I thought, "What the heck!" and sprinkled some on there...miracle of miracles it came clean with hardly any work from me! This stuff is awesome! It's edible too, so it wont hurt your skin or the kids or anything. So onto the biggie...the downstairs toilet! The ring the that thing was so gross and we've tried everything! Magic erasers, bleach sitting in there for days, you name it. Well I dumped a little citric acid in there let it sit for five minutes and the bowl was sparkeling by the time I got back with my sponge and gloves!!!! Yipeeeee!!!! This has been bugging me forever! I am soooo excited! Try it! It will be your new best friend in the cleaning cupboard! (Sorry to go on and on, but this stuff is so cool and I didn't want you to miss out!)
Yesterday Derrick kept hounding me and hounding me to let him call Holly on the phone. I was busy cutting vinyl and trying to get something done, so I finally relented and dialed the number not thinking much about it. The next thing I know he is saying, "Can you make me a peanut butter and bring it to me?" Then I hear, "She doesn't like peanut butters and she's doing something!" "I'm starving! Pleeeeeeese!" When can you get it here?" Nice...I am looking like a crappy mother at this point and rolling on the floor. I have to admit, it was funny. Don't worry...he got a peanut butter...sandwich that is!
Six little boys under age 7...need I say more? We had lots of fun with Quinn and Mason while their Mom and Dad were at Youth Conference. We went the the water park, had a few more little friends over for a few hours, ate lots of treats, and had a fun slumber party.
