The Stevens’ Family Version of a Family Photo Shoot

I’m going to let Calvin and Hobbes do the summary for this post…

How Rob Feels...

…that is exactly how all the male members of my family feel…

 

Now, as far as taking the actual pictures:

Although it was frustrating at times, there was also a lot of silliness and a lot of fun Smile

And that’s ok, because we’re kinda a silly family anyway!

We ended the day at the Lion House; it was DELICIOUS!

Parent’s Day at Tumbling

Perhaps I shall try blogging again.

Last fall I put Mason in a little tumbling class at Bravo. Morgan was SUPER jealous so I enrolled him in a 2-3 yr old music/tumbling/dance class. It’s pretty stinkin’ cute. Anyway, every couple of months they have a “Parent Day” where you can sit in the classroom the last 15 minutes and watch.

Note: the 2-3 yr old class has, in fact, been taught a cute little dance…although to watch the boys you would never know it. Good thing for girls!

I apologize for the poor quality of the video…I have a hard time telling if it’s truly in focus or not, and then when I try to fix it I take it completely out of focus and…ya… sorry. Still a cute video though.

The Funny Things They Say

I know I am 5 months behind on my blog. I know; but there have been just a couple funny things my kids have said in the past week I want to remember. So, without further ado, our first one comes from Mason about a week ago. My neighbor and friend kindly agreed to come shopping with me and the kids. She picked up Mason and went to throw him over her shoulder when he started screaming-

Mason: No! No don’t do that!

Friend: But I was going to wrestle you. Aren’t you a strong wrestler?

Mason: No. I am just a city kid. I just live in the big city. I am not a wrestler.

Point taken.

 

Number 2: This one comes from Morgan while on Thanksgiving vacation. One morning he decided to come visit Rob and I while we were still asleep. He sneaks up to the bed, crawls over me, and while looking at Rob says,

Mom?

Me: Yes

Mom, where’s the other guy?

Me (laughing): you mean dad?

No where’s the other guy?

Huh. Apparently I’ve been having an affair but don’t get the pleasure of remembering it.

 

Number 3: This one came from Mason…tonight…

Me: Do you want to tell dad what you did at preschool today? Who is your friend?

Mason: I love Kenlee. I’m going to marry her. Then I will take her to Las Vegas, Nevada where I work and we will have 10 babies.

Oh really? And does Kenlee know that because I’m pretty sure she’d have something to say about it…

 

They are good little buddies.

Memorial Day Weekend-Monday-Oakley

For Memorial Day we headed to Oakley to spend the day with Rob’s uncle and fam on their beautiful property. They have everything there!

First order of business was getting motorcycles ready to ride…and then riding them:

Then there was a little bit of soccer- while Mason rode the scooter:

There were kitties to torture:

And and HORSE to ride!!! If you can’t tell, Morgan wanted nothing to do with it.

They have TONS of land on which to four-wheel and explore:)

And of course, after you ride a four-wheeler, you must wash it:

And if all that were not enough, there were bubbles, and a tractor!

It really was a perfect day- where silliness and happiness and lovi-ness abounded!

Thank you, to Rob’s family…

And no, none of these pictures are edited…there were just too many. Winking smile
