Surprises!

Mark came home from work with something for each of us!

 Laina's flowers
She said to say "I love the flowers! Love, Laina."
 


 The boys got airplanes, a motorcycle, and a car.
Cheese!
 Daddy showing them how to play with them the cool way!
 
I love how they are just soaking it all in!
Laina and I laughed at her flowers on her head.
 And my beautiful flowers!!!!!!

What a sweet, sweet husband God has blessed me with!

The Boys' "New" Bed

Mark's Aunt Sara heard that we wanted to get a bunk bed for the boys. Aunt Sara said that Mark's cousin Billie Rae had one that she was wanting to get rid of. YAY!!!!!!!! It saved me the headache of looking for one and having to buy one since they were so sweet and just gave it to us!

So that led to Mark and me taking a "quick" 14 hour trip out to SD to pick it up at Mark's grandma's house while our kids stayed with my REALLY nice parents at our house. It was very nice to be able to spend that much time with Markypoo. He did get a little stir crazy the last 2 hours. hehe  But it was a really nice time! And it flew!!! Perhaps because we didn't have 3 little ones needing to go to the bathroom or asking if we're there yet or saying "I'm soooo tired of being in the car," etc. haha We said that we could go to a gas station and both go in AT THE SAME TIME!!! :D It was nice. But best thing of all was that we were bringing our boys something fun. While we were out there, we did get to see Billie and Grandma and Uncle Bill for a little bit. Mark was tempted to stay there forever but he knew he couldn't. :) It was hard to go there and have to leave right away, especially since the weather was beautiful (73 degrees)!!!

The next couple days I painted it. And here's the finished product.
I'm just so happy with how it turned out! Mark says that he wants one! haha
Bodie sleeps on the bottom. Such a huge bed for a little boy, but Sutton can always join him if he wants. Besides that, Bodie kept falling out off of his crib mattress that I put on the floor so now he has a big bed to roll around in and MAYBE I'll get more sleep cuz he will. :D And Sutton gets the top which he thinks is sooooo cool.

Grandma (and Grandpa) Brown bought them their cool Lightening McQueen sheets and throw and all their new pillows! It was sooo sweet of her/them. The boys absolutely love their new bed!!!

Thank you, Billie Rae, Aunt Sara, and Grandma Sally and my Mom and Dad!!!
You made two little boys very happy!!

That Sticky Whiteness

SNOW
We HAD to get out and build a snowman!

 I made the big one. 
Laina made the small one.
I don't have any idea what face that is! haahaha
And Sutton watched
and chatted and chatted
about the movie that Bodie was watching
(that was Bodie's treat cuz he had to stay in with dad).
Sorry this is blurry....

While I was working on the driveway,
they built this snow "castle". 
It's on the sidewalk between them. :)
