Mother's Day and More!

Slade, purposely melting Mommy's heart. Darn, he sure is good at it!

My "little Mommy" - you can tell what she sees most of the time around here..

I had a lovely visit with my Mother on Mother's day. We met halfway between our houses, at Totten Trail. Much to our surprise they had a wonderful Mother's Day brunch going on!! The food was excellent, the kids were..well... kids! Kendlee, antsy as ever, wanted to play the games upstairs. Slade of course demanded Momma's attention (why should mother's day be any different?) All in all it was a great lunch!

Mothers Day- I didn't realize this is what I really look like right now, eek! At least the kids are beautiful!
My Rainbow Cake- you should have seen the inside! Yum!

We took the kids to the playground down by the lake. Kendlee adored the ride-on-ducky. Mommy tried to master the monkey bars (man am I out of shape!!) I even went down the slide, trying ever so desperately to get Kendlee to go down. No luck. Slade was "just hanging out" as Kendlee would say. Then the day grew cold and we ventured our way home.

Monday brought sunshine and warm weather to our area for the majority of the day. We met up with Amanda, Devyn and Reegan to go for a nice, but tiring, walk. (Though I think Amanda disagrees!) This was our first chance to try out our new stroller.. one small glitch.. It does not fit in my trunk!! After trying it out on the walk, I decided that I didn't like it anyhow and will be returning it to the store. I have my eye on a Phil & Ted's stroller.. just need to check the dimensions of my trunk before I click "purchase". ;)

Devyn and Kendlee

Kendlee and Devyn had a blast at the park! Devyn, ever so daring, showed Kendlee how to climb the bars, go down the slide and play properly on playground equipment. Slade talked and observed the outdoors, while Reegan napped in her stroller.

Slade informing me of important news.

Reegan in her stroller- see the pink? ;)

We also enjoyed our first real thunderstorm of the year on Monday night. The winds were awful! Kendlee and Slade slept right through it all. The house was all mine...Bliss!

Rounding out the week Kendlee will go to Tina's daycare for halfday tomorrow. Amanda and I have a gymnastics board meeting tomorrow evening, the girls will play in the gym. I do believe I will be "teaching" the tot class June and July as well as next season. -Thursday Slade is to see the pediatrician in Bismarck for his 2 month appointment. Hoping for some good news and answers to questions. Friday Brandon works overtime. He plans to be fishing a tourney with Gary on Saturday and back to work Sunday for his regular shifts.
