Fun filled Saturday

Spell check was not working so I am sure there are a few words mispelled! Like that is a surprise!! =)

It was soooo nice outside this Saturday(not toooo HOT) so we started the day early. The kids wanted to swing first thing in the morning so we headed out to the play ground for a few minutes. They were soooo silly talking with eachother!


Next we decided to go feed the ducks that we live by. I mean HELLO we have lived here for a year now and haven't done this yet!




The Swans would eat stuff off the bottom of the pond and the kids laughed every time they saw this. They had me take a picture and wanted it in the post!

Next, we still didn't want to go home and Robert and I felt like icecream at 10:30 in the morning...so we surprised the kids with icecream! They called it a treat and felt very special because they NEVER get icecream this early....which is true!


The YMCA where I work out has free family rock climbing on Saturdays and Ian has been wanting to go ever since we moved, so since Robert had meetings all afternoon I decided to take them. Here they are waiting for thier turn to go.

Addy wanting a turn. She kept saying, "Me turn, me turn."

Ian went up first and he was booken it! He got to 15 feet, turned and looked down and said I am done! LOL He did awesome! They were impressed by him.

Here he is coming down!

Next was Elijah and he booked it up there too! He was almost as high as Ian when he decided to come down, as far as he knows they were at the same hieght!

Elijah coming down.

Aren't they cute!

Addy snuck in and got this far before I caught her....."Mommy, look at me!" LOL silly girl!

Ian wanted to go up again so here he is the second time on a little bit harder wall!

Addy was playing really quiet and I found her like this. I asked her what she was doing and she said, "Shhhh Addy hideing."

***G&G's Davenports and Ian's 1st day of Preschool

Welp Ian started his first day of 2nd year of Preschool this year and he was totally excited! Adeline was not so happy this day. She said, "Elijah school, Ian school, Addy school!" Very sad girl so we did some girl shoppin' and that fixed that!

On Sunday we took a trip to G&G Davenports after church and stayed the night. It was fun to see them again and the boys loved playing with missy their dog.

No I did not have anything to do with this, just took the pic! LOVE IT!

Addy and Grandma spend most of their time feeding and burping the babies!

***Camping***

I thought this camping trip was going to be boring because we were the only ones going. Turns out we had a BLAST!!! One of the kids favorite things to do was throw rocks in the river. They literally could do it for hours....

Robert took us to some natural HOT springs and PHEWWWW they were HOT! Luckily we found one that still had cold water running into it so it was just right!

Later we had a good ol' time around the camp fire! A little trade mark picture!

Some singing! This is Addy singing Twinkle Twinkle little star...soooo cute!

Some crazy dancin'!

Last but not least, SMORES.......mmmmmm were they good!

On the last day Robert took the boys fishing while Addy and I slept and this is what he came back with.....yummmm it was a good one!

We had some great times and made lots of good memories! Thanks babe for taking us camping! Oh yeah we also sang to Robert because it was his birthday!

Words from the mouth of Ian

We always give Ian a hard time for not only picking his nose, but then eating his boogers as well. Today we were in the car and he says, "Mom, do you know why I always pick my nose and eat my boogers?" No, why? "Because they are green like green beans! LOL

Recent Happenings

A couple weeks ago I got out Addy's pool and the kiddos killed time before dad got home from work! Lots of fun in the water....then the boys needed to sun bathe!




Last week I took the kids to the Zoo before Elijah had to go back to school. Boise Zoo is nothing like Portland Zoo, but we made the best of it!

According to Adeline this is a gagon.


Me at 6 months.......eeewwwwww

Elijah is now a 1st grader!! He is soooooo excited to go to school ALL day now!

10 Years ALREADY?!?!?!

I got suckered into going to my class reunion because I just happened to be in town. It was fun to see everyone and see the "popular" kids fat and bald! LOL ok that wasn't nice! I am proud to say, I am the one with the most kids and married the longest! Here are just a few shots of my old buddies from High School!

*Lagoon*

While in Utah for the reunion we had to squeeze in some time for Lagoon! Thanks to Grandma we had a BLAST! Brought back lots of old memories! Adeline LOVED the rides and never wanted to get off. Ian was up for all the BIG rides, Elijah, not so much!





This pic was taken the day before we got married!

Here's to 8 years later!

Trip to Utah

We went to Utah this past week for a family reunion on my moms side of the family! It was just like old times! We started out with the Pioneer Day paraide, something we have done every year since my mom was a little girl. The Theme was "It takes all kinds to make the West". Addy was a saloon dancer, Ian was a cowboy, and Elijah was a hunter. It was crazy to see my kids on the float this time and not me....



Then after the parade they have a talent show, food, auctions and games. I put Adeline in the baby contest and she won curliest hair! By the time that contest was over Addy was DONE, so this is the only pic I managed to get!

Ian rode his first sheep! Nice job buddy! When we were little my grandpa was the one that had his sheep there to ride....ahhh good times!

My cousin Clayne rescued this owl from the river....

The kids had a BLAST on the horses too!

This was all in the first 2 days we were there so there is more to come!
