"Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth." Hugh Macmillan

two men and a lady
Brandon's work schedule this month is CRAZY!!! He's out of town three nights each week for the next five weeks and even though I'm not super excited about not having Brandon around there's really nothing I can do about it so the boys and I are trying to make the best of not having a husband/daddy at home. Tonight we ate McDonald's for dinner and then spent some time in the backyard. A cold front came through last night and today we had temperatures in the 70's!! What!?!? Yep, that's right!! Yesterday our straight temperature high was 104 and today we were in the high 70's!! We couldn't have been more excited!! The boys thought it would be a great idea to put every single ball they own into the trampoline and then jump around! HA!! Boys will be boys!!
When I pulled out the camera the boys began posing in some "staged" falls on the trampoline! They are so goofy!


This one HAS to be my favorite! HA!!


Then I jumped in on the trampoline myself and layed down while the boys bounced me around! I haven't belly laughed so hard in a long time!

And what mommy/son time would be complete without taking some silly face pictures!!!


And then I got some love from my boys!!
We finished off the night by watching Wipeout!! We LOVE that show!! We missed Brandon while we were watching it and at one point Ashtyn even said "I wish daddy was here, he would love this part!" but such is life! We had a good day and with both of the boys in school and such an action packed evening both the boys were asleep by 8:30PM!! Whew!! Now we just have to do it all over again tomorrow...

Good job mama!
Erika, I cannot help but smile when I think about you inside that trampoline, laughing histerically! I know the boys thought they were doing a great job at making their mommy happy.
AND
A couple of these pictures of you look a lot like your baby sister! You would think you were related to her or something!
