Disney on Ice & A Ropin'

We have been on butterfly watch at our house....these things are a little gross to me. ;/  4.8.14

 Hudson 4.8.14

 I love when they all three play together and don't fight....it is rare but my absolute favorite. 4.9.14

 These boys cannot get enough of Jaafe in the evenings!  4.9.14

 It was 98 degrees here last Wednesday.  Jaaten talked me into letting them get in the pool.  The water must have been really cold because it took Jaaten's breath away when she went underwater.  She said it wasn't cold though. ;)  4.10.14

We got the kids all ready Thursday evening after they all got up from their naps and told them we were going to a friends house.  4.10.14

 Driving to Phoenix...

 We really had tickets to Disney on Ice....

Jaaten was so excited she could hardly wait for the show to start once she realized where we were.  The boys loved it for the FIRST 20 MINUTES.....it was pretty much downhill from there for Jaafe and I.  A really STEEP, BUMPY hill!!  But we made it home by 9:30p....and we all survived, even the kids!  They were lucky!

Jaafe told Jaaten he was taking her to a roping for the weekend at the beginning of the week.  Of course that is all she talked about for the last 4 days.  She had this rope in her hand Friday before school telling me how fun the roping would be. ;)) 4.11.14

The boys acted like the didn't care she was leaving but they asked where she was every day she was gone. ;))

Jaaten in Dad's truck headed out for the weekend. ;)

There was a pool at the place they were staying.  They swam until 11p the night they got there.  I'm sure she was in heaven!

Jaaten looks like a different child when she is with her Daddy. ;))  Jaafe has mastered the ponytail!

Jimmy's little guy, Travis, was with them too. ;)

And of course the first butterfly came out when Jaaten was gone...  4.12.14
