Fun Filled Weekend

Earlier in the week I wanted to mop my floors so I sent Scotty out back (his favorite) to play while I got my work done. As I was mopping I noticed he was standing in the dog dish havin' himself a little foot soak. Just leaning up against the house... chillin'.

Cheetos and a dog dish foot soak... there ain't much better than that in life! Notice his legs...he gave himself a nice little tattoo. Good work!
"Mom, quit bugging me... can't you see I'm just trying to relax!?! Get back to your housework"
"Okay, Now that feels better. I think I'm just about done here. The water's a little cold."
" What???"

"You've never had a dog dish foot soak? Well, maybe for Mother's day you should go and get yourself a pedicure! Since you can't get your feet into this wonderful dog dish you may have to just settle. Don't worry, it's a close second."

HMMM.. Scotty, maybe I will! Maybe I'll just call my Mom and we'll go have ourselves a pedi for mother's day.

So, after helping out at Paige's school for kindergarten field day on Friday. I met my Mom and we had the most fabulous pedicure and then had lunch. What a treat!! After that I went home and took a teeny little snooze on my couch. I woke up in a panic because I told Dustin I would get the car all cleaned out so he could throw his stuff in the car for Father's and Son's and hit the road. When I went outside I saw Mama cat with two kittens!!! I posted back in March about our cat getting "knocked up". I couldn't believe she had actually brought the kittens home. We think she hid them in an attic. They were born 7 weeks ago. Of course they are adorable, scared at first but getting more and more comfortable. Once again I'm just got to put it out there...
IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW WANTS AN ADORABLE LITTLE 7 WEEK OLD KITTY (LITTER BOX TRAINED AND COMPLETELY READY TO LEAVE MAMA CAT) IT IS YOURS... FREE!!! THAT'S RIGHT, FREE!!! I'LL EVEN THROW IN MAMA CAT TO SWEETEN THE DEAL!
I'm SERIOUS! YOU THINK I'M JOKING BUT I'M NOT. THEY'RE DANG CUTE! YOU WANT ONE OF THESE KITTENS! YOU WANT ONE OF THESE KITTENS! YOU WANT ONE OF THESE KITTENS you are getting very sleepy.
Look at those blue eyes! precious! we call her black skinny and she is very playful and sweet. She has short hair unlike her twin sister, black fat, who is fluffy and must have hogged all the milk. (we have no idea the sex of these kittens)

Pictures simply do not do this kitten justice. She or he is just so pretty and reminds us of our old cat, Carlos (who is no longer with us, God rest his soul) so it may be a descendant of Carlos. How cool is that!
What kitten can resist...YARN!!!
playful kitties

AHHHHHH so cute!!!

I'm putting an ad in the paper for this weekend or next so ACT FAST!!! These kitties will be GONE, DADDY, GONE before we know it!!

Scotty and Dustin's first Father and Son Adventure.

They went to the archery range at Mt. Charleston. I was nervous and started bugging Dustin with questions like... Is he going to be safe? Will he get too cold? Are you sure you'll watch him? Then I really started bugging Dustin by giving him advice about what to do in case this or that happens (as if he hasn't been a parent all these years, like myself!) Dustin is COMPLETELY capable! OOPS! Sorry about that. I don't know what's come over me, I had no idea I'd be so nervous but I was. Just go have fun, I'm sure everything will be just fine. Dustin was so excited to finally have a son to take. Dustin has gone every year to help his friends with their boys(or so he tells me) and he always has a good time. And why wouldn't he...
when you go to Father and Sons you get to sleep in the suburban!
and eat yummy donuts!
and take walks at night, in the dark, cause men are tough and they ain't scared a nuffin'!
and play in the dirt and look for rocks on the ground(as many rocks as you like!)
and climb trees... even up to the tip top!
Cause that's what boys do!

And sit next to each other in the car so you can rock out to your favorite music together

(disclaimer.. posting is just for fun, no babies were harmed during the taking of these photos, I repeat posting is just for fun. Please do not report me for having our son in the front seat!)

and drink all the Pepsi and Capri suns your tummy's can handle!

Ya... camping at Fathers and Sons pretty much rocks!!!

And as nervous as I was I have to admit that they weren't even up the mountain before I realized just how wonderful Fathers and Sons IS! Dustin, you can go anytime! Seriously, ANY TIME!!!!

Saturday night we took the kids to the 51's baseball game(stupid name) It was fun but we only stayed a couple of hours. We all got a free hat and I was very disappointed to find there wasn't any popcorn or cotton candy. They did however have peanuts but no cracker jacks so I don't care if we ever go back!

A nice man gave Karley a foul ball and she was so happy! That really made her day!

She had to test it out!


Saturday, after the game, we got started(at 9pm) on a huge kitchen project and we were up until 2 am. Let's just say our kitchen doesn't look like this any more. I'll post before and after pictures as soon as we're done!

Sunday, Mother's day, a day of rest and relaxation. A day to pay tribute to all of our mother's and how wonderful they are and how much they do for us. We went to Kris' for lunch and my Mom's for dinner.

I had a wonderful Mother's day!

This is Dustin after dinner on Sunday!

My thoughts exactly!

I LOVE...

... THESE SWEET, LITTLE BABY HANDS and that he always clasps them like this whenever he sits down for a picture.

I LOVE...

...HOW MUCH THIS LITTLE GUY ADORES HIS DADDY and how excited he gets when Dustin walks through the door after work. He squeals, "Dut-tin", "Dut-tin" and runs to the door. Scott loves him and has just started calling him by his first name. They are just tight like that!!

I LOVE...

... BEING CALLED MOMMY and having all my little ones to take care of. I love all of the small things that make me smile and appreciate what I have.

I LOVE... MY LIFE!

Race For The Cure

The running crew, Saturday morning, before the race.

Kourtney, Dustin, me, Kris, Rick, Madison, and Karley and supporting cast Paige, Scott, and Grandma Sarah. Notice the Lin-Air shirts..ya we're sponsored! Pretty soon we'll probably go pro. Just kidding... the Johnson's provide us with these bomb t-shirts and because of our contract I'd now like to give a huge shout out to Lin-Air(one of the top five places to work in LV) Only the best AC company in the whole wide world!!!Whoo whoo

Scott's favorite thing to do! He even says, "Go Dangtang" ( Go Darringtons)

He's such a team player.

Grandma Kris kicks butt!! Here she is making all those "young things" behind her so jealous!

Madison and Karley ran with us. They did so well. I know it wasn't easy for them but they've caught running fever and are already talking about our next race together. It was so much fun! Except for the part where they passed us and then we passed them up and then I somehow made it to the finish line before them and for a brief moment we were all very scared!! A few minutes later they came running up (PHEW) and I was so relieved and so proud of them. They stuck together and finished the race. I love these girls.

And this little sweetheart was there on the sidelines cheering the rest of us on with my Mom and Scott. Thank you, Mom, for coming to watch us and being there to watch the little ones so we can "do our thang" Paige also wants to run in the next race with us! At the Nike town race there were some 5 year olds who kicked butt so I know she can do it. I guess that will be our next family race. We love it!!!
