Laney Granduates From Kindergarten!

Family picture at Lane's graduation.

Here is lane with his diploma.

Lane walking the isle.

Lane being bored. He hates to sing it makes him super uncomfortable.

Oh yes we have a kindergarten graduate. It seems like only yesterday I was taking him to his first day of school. The kindergarten put on an awesome little program. Lane hates to sing. As you can see he pretty much just stood there the whole time. Ya he was bored. I have to give props to his teacher Mary Spiker. She is an amazing teacher. I have never met anyone quite like her. She made scrapbooks for each child in her classes. They had over one hundred pages in each book. She was wonderful, she went above and beyond. She also was diagnosed with breast cancer in the middle of the year. It didn't matter how tired she was after chemo treatments she was always there the next day with a smile. Laney had a great year. I am so happy that summer is here. We are proud of our Laners.

This is Lane's end of the year party. They made matching ti dye shirts for the occasion. The party had an Idaho history theme. The kids each got a cowboy hat and scarf to ware. They had little stations that they went to. One had mining for gold and each child got a bag of fools gold as a prize. And at the next station they got to make necklaces with Indian arrow heads . And last but not least they got pony rides. It was a fun afternoon for all the kids.

A busy day!!!!! (Grandma turns 50!)

Holy smokes I have cute boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Lane working on the flowerbed.

The boys playing with Dad in the flowerbed.

Lane and I bought this house in November and the yard needed some T.L.C. Lane loves yard work and had to wait all winter to get his hands in the dirt. The flowerbed in the front yard was non-existent so we added the rock to the front of the house. What do ya think. We haven't gotten the flowers in yet that's next on the to do list.

Lane's Mom turned 50 today. I think she looks fabulous. My father-in-law works in Las Vegas and during the summer my mother-in-law lives down there too. So for her birthday we had a shirt made for her that said (Someone in Idaho loves me). Below we put a picture of the boys. After we had it made we had to make one for Grandpa too. Happy birthday Mama J!!!

Ryan found the sharpie!!!!!!!!

I can honestly say that in the six and a half years that I've been a mother that I have never had to encounter this!!! Ryan got a hold of one of our sharpie markers. He was happily doing his artwork on my laundry room wall. I always encourage my children to be artistic and have imaginations but this takes the cake. Daddy is going to freak when he gets home tonight. The picture above is Ryan in time out. As you can see he is pretty proud of himself. That little s#@t!!! I love him.
Ryan's artwork. I'm just glad it's in the laundry room were we can hide it.

Happy Birthday Ryan!!!!!

I made this magnificent cake isn't it cute!! It took way to long to make. But Ryan loved it.

Mr. Man is Three!!

Mere's and Papa (G-ma and G-pa Harker) buy shoes for the kids Birthdays. Here is Ryan getting his shoes.

Grandma and Grandpa Marley get pinata for the boys b-days. Here is Ryan helping grandma stuff candy in it.

We asked Ryan what he wanted to do for his Birthday and he told us he wanted to go to Donald's house. (AKA McDonald's) Here is Ryan in the toy area.

Can you believe it our baby is three. Time has gone by so quickly. I love my little Rye Rye so much!!!! Happy Birthday Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We love you!

A Mother's Day Picnic!

Mother's Day 2009!!!!

Well this is my seventh Mother's Day and every year it's a joy to be a Mama! A hot Mama!!!!!

So Lane and I decided that we wanted to do something special for the two woman who went through hours of pain to bring us into the world. So Lane and I took our Mom's on a Mother's Day picnic on Saturday. We ordered Chinese, packed a table cloth and dishes and took them to Ross Park for a Mommy date. We had fun visiting with our Mom's and spending quality time with them. We have decided that we must continue the tradition every year. We love our Mom's!! Thank you for all you do for us. We love you and are grateful you are in our lives! Happy Mother's Day!! Love, Lane and Serena

I love to try and shock my Mom whenever I get the chance. When lane took this picture I was trying to grab my Mom's bum. As you can see I thought it was funny! I love this look on her face.

What a timeless treasure to share with my grandchildren.

Here is me and my Mother in law Jackie. I tried to violate her too but she just grabbed me back!

Lane and his Mommy!! Don't they look alike. Poor Lane, his Mama is taller then him. Lane had to stand on his tipsy toes!!!!

Lane and my Mom Mary.

Serena's first race!!

Top: Lane and I before race! Bottom: Me and my friend Lindsey!

Lane did the Pocatello fun run last year . It has five races though the summer. I felt inspired after watching how much fun Lane had doing it last year. This is the first race of the year. The next one is in June. It was a lot of fun and I'm really proud of myself. The pic on the bottom is me with my friend Lindsey.
