Carmen was not listening for anything last night when it was time to leave my mom's house. "Get up here right now young lady, 1.....2....." & then she came running. As we were leaving she said " i better run fast or you'll schange me! I don't know what schange is but if she meant exchange that's funny. Even though that girl can be very naughty at times I would absolutely never, ever Exchange her. I love her just the way she is & I know that she will turn into an awesome young lady someday!

#1 reason NOT to wear a dress while riding a bike

I appologize for the dark video but this was too funny to not share. Carmen just got a new bike and it's kind of big for her to handle. She was too small for the 12" so we went ahead & got her the 16". She hasn't figured out how the brakes work so when she gets scared she just jumps off!

Busy lil bees!

We've been pretty busy these last 2 weeks in the Vrbka house.

I was busy making cakes for our mother's day picnic, this one happens to be gluten free

This cake had my first attempt of roses!

Celebrating mother's day with my favorite people!

Baseball is 3 days a week, this is my youngest brother Ricky being catcher!

I've been trying to make more hairbows.

We did a totally free car wash for our missions team at church, we all helped was the cars.

Some of us even found time to play in the mud!

We've been riding 4-wheelers

motorcycles &

brand new bikes!

All this activity makes some of us so tired that we fall asleep hanging upside in the chair!

Bored

Ok I lied it looks like poop on my actual blog. somebody wanna help me???

Should have been a blonde

So once again we are having vehicle problems, we go through more vehicles than most people. Jake's van is currently at the shop, we are trying to figure it out, thought it might be a spark plug so yesterday on my lunch I changed the spark plug. Yes, I did it all by myself, but not surprising to those of you that know I change my own oil too! Jake has been driving my car & I have been driving my mom's trailblazer for the past week.

We are having a picnic Sunday afternoon (after HuHot of course) at the park, on my lunch today I zipped over to Hy-Vee to pick up supplies to make some yummy treats. After spending nearly my whole lunch hour shopping, I checked out & went to mom's blazer. I pushed the unlock thingy on the key fob but it didn't make the little noise, hmm that's weird I know I locked it. Oh well, I opened the back hatch, hmmm I don't remember that this stuff was back here, where am I going to put these groceries?

All of a sudden I looked up and a guy turns around from the front passenger seat and says "Excuse me." Oh poop, I'm at the wrong car. I shut his hatch and walk to the next aisle unlock the right blazer, unload my groceries & call my momma. I was laughing so hard I couldn't even get the words out, she was laughing because I was laughing, just what we needed for a beautiful Friday!

Summa Time

Carmen has been bugging me to play in the sprinkler since the snow melted. I decided since it was 85 degrees tonight that I would let her play in it for awhile! I'm sure it was a bit chilly but she had fun. Cordell would have joined her but he had baseball practice tonight. Tuesday is his first game! If I have your e-mail I'll try to send out his schedule in the next day or two.

This girl is learning early that a mud bath is good for her skin!

Poor Carmen

You would think her mom would buy her a bed!

This is where Jake & I found Carmen fast asleep last night. That was after trying for 2 hours to put her in her bed!
