Blazers Date day...

So for the past while Blazer and i have been planning our date...  I've got a galvanized old bin thing that we (Blazer and I) planted flowers in last year...  So this year we wandered back into the garden center in walmart and Blazer got excited about getting our flowers planted this year.  I told him we had wait till pay day.  Blazer came up with a alternative.. He said "Mom,  When is your craft night...?? You should make money that night and then we can use that to get flowers...."  So that's what we did.. Who cares about putting the money back into the bank account right...

So Today was our date day... We went into Dan's Greenhouse and Blazer got a cart and away we went.  He got to pick out all the flowers himself which he felt pretty proud of.  We got everything he though would look nice... Which came to a whopping $38...Yikes... way more then i would have spent.  Then we headed off to Walmart to buy the dirt... Hmm there is something wrong with that... Buy dirt.  Anyway we made it home and got right to work.

Blaze is pretty happy with his master piece and I've got to say it turned out way cuter then i was expecting while i was watching him pick out all the flower... I did so good to keep my mouth shut.

He even had his own work gloves.

And Yes Blazer did pick out the extra's in there...

Now here's hopin' that knox won't go pick them all??

The Hair

So anyone who's been around our family the last 6 months will know that Brody's hair is a sore subject with all of us.  He insisted during hockey to have a mullet. Yep a full mullet.  We questioned why why why,  but we agreed (Brad forced me,  he said Kade..... this is one less thing to fight about) to let him go ahead and grow it as long as after hockey we could cut it... he kinda agreed.

So hockey came and went but the mullet stayed around... Anytime a haircut was brought up everyone ended up mad and storming off.  I tried to cut it once and trimmed it and it looked better for a day then it grew back...

We are not sure why Brody is so insistent on growing the mullet.  Last night was Brads final draw.  Everyday this week we've talked about cutting it and everyday this week ends in tears.... (pretty much from me)  cause he won't cut it.  Anyway last night we did it...... Brad forced him to cut the Sampson Hair....

Don't tell him i posted these pictures...

This was the before....

During

After

So much better... And Brad softened the blow by saying... B now you can start growing it out again!

He's forgivin' us this morning... But I'm not goin' lie it was touch and go there... I thought we would wake up to a miserable kid again this morning....  Our Sampson! 

Easter 2012

So this year Easter we spent at home... We got home from our Kelispell trip on Saturday night so the easter bunny was able to come on sunday.... After church.  The kids were all really excited.  I was excited cause I was able to get everything down in the states so it was pretty cheap and lot's of fun stuff. 

The Little boys were so excited about it.  Even more excited when they saw the note from the Easter bunny.  Blazer and Knox did'nt go to church... they both had a wicked cough...So they were hidding out in the bedroom while the easter bunny dropped of his goodies....  Blazer looked out the window and could hardly contain himself... The kids and I came home from chuch and the first thing we hear coming through the Door was " B...(brody) the easter bunny came and pooped out eggs all over the yard!!"  I think he got that from a easter movie they had watched.  Funny non the less.

So the kids checked out there baskets and then out they went for a easter egg hunt.  It was a great Easter sunday to spend together.

Ready for the bunny poop hunt

Yes Brody is wearing winter boots.... No there is no snow....

Easter Trip

So for Easter we had the plan to go to Utah...... But we decided to scale back and use half the money we saved to pay off a bill and we decided to go to Edmonton... We were so excited to go...but then Brad got sick. Now I'm not talking a cold sick...i don't think I've ever seen him so sick.  He's a bit of a baby when he's got the sniffles but he didn't even have time to be a boob about it, between running to the bathroom and the amount of time he spent in there.  Poor guy.  So by the time Thursday came he had quit running but still felt crappy.  I decided we better not go infect Family up in Edmonton so instead i dragged Brad to Kelispell. 

Our first stop was at the "The Vortex".  The kids enjoyed it.... It was kinda weird.  I remember going to something like that when we were kids.  Anyway after that... I forgot i had the camera.  We went to the show.  We did a bit of shopping, ate, and went to the family fun center.  And that was about it.  It's such a beautiful drive out there... it was well worth the trip.

Kub Kar Rally.

We had the Kub Kar Rally this past Friday.  As we later realized it is B's last one!  Who knew!  Brody has not had good luck with his cub cars in past years...  the first year Brad did not realize your suppose to use graphite on the wheels... hence B coming in last place every race... the next year he had "The Bolt"  it did do better but still not even close to placing.. but it didn't come in last place.

This year however... was a whole new story.  When we where down in great falls a couple weekends ago,  we came across a whole section at Micheal's with Pinewood Derby stuff....  What.  Right then Brad new it was his...Oh i mean Brody's Year to shine! So he picked up cool wheel's and weights and a few other things.  B wanted a Wii Remote Like is cousin Keegan did last year.  So in true Wolsey Fashion Brad waited till the very last minute and worked till the wee hours in the morning trying to get the car cut out. 

This year after the first Race B could smell the win!  He did awesome and with everyrace his face got brighter and brighter!  Long story short... he won from his cub group!  He was very excited and was determaind to save those awesome wheel's till next year... oh wait there is no next year for him in cubs!  He was a little bumbed that finally when we had it perfected he was done.

Naked Cleaning...

Knox is a expert cleaner.... He prefers to be in the buff when doing so....

What a Whirl Wind....

This past week has been a total whirl wind...  The kids have had the week of for reading week... Not sure why it's called that... They did not crack on book at all.  We started off with a weekend in greatfalls.  It was me and Brads 11th Anniversary. WHAT!  Yep that's right,  He's lasted 11 years,  I'm pretty sure we'll last the long haul,  Probley cause we both have said whoever leaves has to take the kids.... And we both don't want that... so we are stuck together!  Haha I'm kinda kidding (Kinda not).  Hehe.   So we headed off Friday afternoon and Met Mom and Dad down there.  Mom doesn't like to travel much with Dad by herself in case something happens,  So this was a perfect opportunity to meet up with us. 

So Friday we bummed around for a bit,  Swam with the kids then Mom and Dad watched them while Brad and I went out for our anniversary to Cafe' Rio!!  Yea that's right  Nothing but the best for my Baby!  hehe we love cafe' rio and it was a treat not to have to make it myself!  It was Delicious.  Then we shopped around a bit... got Brad some much needed new shorts for the upcoming summer season.  And i got Coconut M & M's and we called it a night.  Saturday we got up and shopped all around and found some good deals and then went back and swam with the kiddies and watched a movie.  Sunday we spent the morning lounging around,  we got late check out so we didn't have to be in a hurry to leave.  We finally got going but couldn't leave till 2ish so we drove around greatfall's and explored.  Kinda exciting and who knew people still have the ginormous Satellite dishes still.... Yes we saw quite a few of them on peoples front lawns... hmmmmm

Monday I decided that i either was going to stay home with the kids for the week and go crazy or go up to Red deer with the kids and No Brad and go crazy... we opted for the road trip.  I'm not sure what possessed me to do it but i did it and we all survived to tell about. 

We had a great time  I got to go to see the Vow, and go to Missy's Zumba Class that she teaches down at only women's fitness,  I got tonnes of Pictures done from the last photo shoot i had, And the kids all had a great time.  When Keegan and Brody are together we never see them!  The girls are a bit more high maintenance but they still did great!  The little boy's loved playing with Scouttie,  Not sure she can say the same but they sure love her.

Thursday we took off first thing in the morning to Beaumont to visit with Lara and the kiddies..  Poor Ella had jumped off the swings the day before and broke her arm at school.  I've got to say I've never seen Ella so Mellow.  Poor little girl!  Paris had fun waiting on her and tiding up.  The boy's loved playing the Jett and his toys and Brody just hung out,  (by then he was so overtired I think all he could do was sit.)  I got to have a good visit with Lara,  and she made us Cookies which lasted all the way to well the turn onto the highway ( 10min max).   We had a quick visit but fun and it was fun to see the kiddies! 

We headed back home Friday (Brody had a hockey game Friday night and Sat.)  So i learned on this trip.....  I can do it by myself,  But i never want to again.  And the boy's where not horrible going to bed and they were not acting up near as much as i thought they would.  So long story short it's totally doable again.  So I'm excited to plan a trip up to Edmonton in the summer and hit WestEd!

On a totally unrelated, but exciting note... Today was B's last Session Hockey game and guess what......

HE GOT A SHUT OUT!  He's pretty excited about it!!  So we've just got playoffs then we are done for another season and our life can resume!

OK so the whole trip I had the camera but i never pulled it out except at Lara's... Oops.
