Memorial Weekend

This weekend started out with getting the yard mowed and cleaned up just in case it rained. Every memorial weekend that i can ever remember has always been cold and rainy. I knew that if i didn't get it done Friday that i probably wouldn't have the chance for a while. With me scheduled to work all memorial weekend i rushed to get things done. Our little Talon wanted to ride with me so bad i couldn't resist his cute face. It didn't take long and he was asleep. Who does that??? Who can sleep that soundly on a riding lawn mower. Oh my goodness my kids always keep me wondering LOL

After working long hours all weekend i decided we should go put flowers up on my moms grave,  I am so happy that the weather has decided to be half decent the whole weekend. It was beautiful up there with all the pretty flowers on all the graves. There was even this nice gentlemen up there that offered to take our pic for us. This is how they turned out and i am pretty impressed.

Wyatt and Talon did such a good job helping put the flowers out nicely that i let them get a pic with their daddy up on the big rock right behind my moms grave. I love those boys to death and i don't know what i would ever do without them in my life, yes i know i am out numbered but that just means i am their princess!! And i wouldn't have it any other way, i love all the love that is in our home. It is always a nice feeling to come home to these faces.

Baby Kitten

As much as i felt like we didn't need another kitty after we lost our little Binx, it had to happen!!

I just felt like it was so wrong to just replace him like nothing even happened. But on the other hand i hated to see my little Wyatt cry so much because his kitty was never coming back.

Soo we went kitten hunting and found a couple families with litte kittys, we let Wyatt pick one out and name it. He named this little guy Ase. So far so good, Wyatt quit crying and is loving on this new little kitty.

Me on the other hand, i love the new kitty there is already a spot in my heart he is filling for his own love he is fitting in very well but, i love my little Binx and there will always be a hole in my heart that just can not be filled.

This little kitten never stops moving so all the pics i have of him are kinda blurry!!

Binx

Today was a very sad day in our home. Our kitty Binx went and joined all our loved ones in heaven. He will forever be missed  and be in our hearts forever! We love u kitter Binx

Let me tell you Bink's story....

One very cold December night I recieved a phone from my mom asking if we would like a kitten, one of her friends found it in her driveway freezing. My mom knew she couldn't take it so she offered it to us. We weren't sure if we wanted another pet but after talking with Mike for a bit we decided that Wyatt (1 at the time) would love a little kitty to play with so we said yes!! He was very loving from the very beginning and Wyatt packed this little kitty everywhere. Wrapped him in blankets and dressed him in clothes. Binx would just lay there through it all. After a while of keeping the kitty in the house we decided to let him outside to play. He instantly had a seizure and did every time he went out for the longest time or until he got used to the outdoors. We didnt think he would live long anyways and i couldnt afford seizure medication every month so we decided to just wait and see what would happen.This continued for a while and started happening more frequently whether he was inside or out. 

After we moved back to the valley he only had one which was amazing and we have been back a year and a half. It seemed to be healing itself on its own.

Today I got the kids ready to go on a walk, got shoes on and the stroller out headed down the drive way and noticed that Binx was following us he loved going on walks. Wyatt and Binx went ahead a little ways and I told Wyatt to stop before he got to close to the road it was close to 5 pm and cars were everywhere. Binx usually would stop when we did but he didn't this time and got hot by a fast traveling car. Wyatt instantly started crying and ran home for dad. 

Mike came and got him out of the road, brought him home wrapped him in his favorite blanket that he would find every night no matter where it was in the house and sleep all night. While mike was digging a hole me and the kids went and picked flowers for his little grave. 

Binx was just like another kid in the house, he was the only cat I knew that love love loved buffalo chicken wings and would beg for us to share if we were eating them for dinner. He will surely be missed and know that he will always hold a special place in our hearts and home. But Wyatt said his grandma needed him more than we did. Love u Binxy!!! 

Best decision I ever made was taking him into our home.

Wyatt is 5

Wyatt just had his 5th Birthday on April 29th. He thinks he is a little older than he is already with the attitude he gives us already it's kinda scary. Makes me wonder what life ahead will be like. He is an all around amazing kid. Life would not be the same without him in it. This year is the beginning of a whole new chapter in Wyatt's little life.... Well and for me!!
Kindergarten and all new friends staying up late when he had little sleep overs!!!

I remember the second I found out I was pregnant with this little guy. Everything changed from that moment on, I knew that he was going to be amazing! And when he was born I never knew I could love another person so much, but then he came and everything got a little bit sweeter! Being his mom is the best gift I have ever received, when his baby brother came I knew they would be the best of friends. Here are a few pics of him and how much he has grown in the last five years.
