Looking back.......

There are a few things that I need to put on this blog since I am using it as my journal. Last weekend we went hiking and to Pine Valley were we stayed in a cabin with some friends of ours. It was a beautiful hike I had never heard of. Kanaraville Canyon I think that is the way you spell it.
After we headed up to Pine Valley. It was so fun!
My girls would not leave Toby alone! Poor guy was probably glad to be left alone!

Doesn't my husband take marvelous pictures!

I was worried that Shaylee was not going to have fun since there was no one her age. I was wrong! She is a wonderful big sister! She loves playing with the little girls. I love you Shaylee!

Highlight of the trip for me was the crawdad fishing. I have taken the kids down to the river to catch them, but never used a pole and bait to catch them. It was a blast! Kailin loved holding the poles and checking everything out.....until she fell in! She was soaked to her waste, and was still in good spirits. Then Cole showed her what we were all catching and I thought she was going to have a heart attack. It was worse than when I see snakes. Yeah, it was that bad!

Cole brought this water bottle determined to catch one, and keep it as a pet. Lucky for us we had a crawdad bake after and ate up all the little would be pets. lol

Everyone looking to see were the best spot to fish would be.

The boys right before they killed the crawdads.

These were our lovely hosts the Fullwoods. Alisha I hope you don't kill me for putting this on. I just loved it! They got all dressed up for breakfast!

All in all it was a great weekend! Yes, Shane and I will be replacing a pole and broom. Sad thing is it was us not the kids!

Love you Honey!

Man am I going to date myself with this post! 14 years ago (No that is not a typo) Shane and I got married! It seems like yesterday until I see the pictures, and then it sinks in that I will continue to get old! At least I have someone to grow old with. It has been a fun ride. Love you Shane!

Identity crisis.........

My little Kailin is having an identity crisis. She can't decide if she wants to be a princess or a cowgirl. I think I went through this with my oldest daughter too. At least Kailin still likes girly things. Yes, she dresses her self. lol

Pros and Cons of Afternoon Kindergarten.

Pro's : Nap time at least 1 hour alone!


Con's : Waking up Sleeping Beauty to go get the Kindergarten child.

I can't decide which is more worth it.

This last week........weekend flew by.

School ended for the week, but the fair was still going. Our ward does the taco booth. It is a really great fund raiser that only happens once every other year. I love that part. This year as I said I had to cut onions. I also pulled a shift in the booth. They (Daniela) did not tell me however that I would be wearing such an attractive outfit while I was there. It may have changed my mind.lol Here is a picture of Me, Kendra, and Colony that our other friend Alsiha took of us in our get up. She was lucky and pregnant so she didn't have to work with us. Lucky Duck!

Back to School?????

This year so many things about going back to school have been different.
First it is the same week as the fair.
Second my ward is in charge of the Navajo Taco booth. (Of which I am the lucky person who has now cut 75 pounds of onions)
Third Shaylee is in 7th grade and all grown up. When did that happen?
Fourth Trey took off on foot for school the first day without telling me goodbye. He just couldn't wait to get there. So no pictures on the first day for the older 2.
Fifth and Final........Cole is now in Kindergarten. He is my little man that keeps things together here. What am I going to do without him?

This is how he wanted his hair for the first day of school. Yes, I am a mean mom and made him get a missionary haircut instead of the rock star haircut he wanted for the first day. Even with the hair he doesn't want he still will do good in school. I love you little man!

A little confusion......

Brynlee wants to be big like Kailin and go potty in the potty. The other day she said mom potty and started to run! Of course I will encourage that. She ran in and I wanted to see how much she could do on her own. She lifted both seats pulled up her shirt and said potty again. It was so funny. I think even though the girls out number the boys there are still too many boys in this house. lol Since she has a belly button that pokes out she thinks she should stand. I don't even know where to begin.
