Happy Birthday Punky!!!!

Today was Aubrey's 6th birthday and she had a great day. I can't believe she's 6 already. She's such a good girl and I'm so lucky to be her mom, even when she drives me nuts!! It has gone by sooo fast. Here are a few pics from her fun party we had tonight.We had her favorite meal, corn chowder for dinner, then did some trick-or-treating, and then back home for some cake and ice cream.

Park Fun

I took the kids to the park last Saturday but Aubrey didn't want any pictures so here are some of Boyd having fun at the park.

Enjoying his sucker. He wouldn't give it up until it was gone.

Pretty Crazy Life

Well it's been a while so I thought I'd just write an update on our crazy life. This past weekend Dave has been hunting in Colorado so I've been doing the single parent, student thing. I usually don't think that Dave does a huge amount to help me with the kids but with him being gone I appriciate all he does to help us and me with school work. I had two big tests this week and studying without him home to help became a challange( good thing for good friends). I didn't really think that being a full time student, wife and mom was too hard until you do it alone. YIKES!!! I've also just been reflecting back to when Aubrey was born since she is turning 6 in a week. I am so gratefull for my beautiful little girl. She is so strong and such a good little girl. I couldn't ask for a better daughter. Well I'll get some pictures posted some time later. Just thought we'd let you know we're still here just busy.

Vacuum ride

One of Boyd's favorite things to do is ride the vacuum. It's the craziest thing but hey I get free entertainment while I clean. He gets on and we go all around the house. Dave was finally home one day to capture it.

Loving every minute of it.

Daves Antelope

This post is for Dave who likes to give me grief about our blog so I decided to include some of his hobbies also. So here is the buck he shot last weekend.

So proud of his buck

One of Daves friends Craig came all the way up from Arizona to go hunt with him. What a true friend (or maybe just a little too obssessed with hunting)

Pudding face

Boyd is very into feeding himself with utensils so I let him have it and here were the results of that. Wow what a messy boy. He went straight to the tub.

So proud of himself and so happy to have yummy pudding in his tummy.

Feeding himself with his spoon. He actually did get alot of it in his mouth. What a big boy.

His daddy's son

Holding his toy gun. Ready to go dad

Here are some pics Dave took of Boyd.
