Gymnastics Camp

Last Saturday the kids went to gymnastics camp for the morning. They had a blast and were sure tuckered out by the time I picked them up. I tried to get pictures of them flipping over however they were too quick. The long trampoline to bounce on was their favorite part.

Washing Dishes...

Grant & Kaitlyn have always loved to wash dishes while I am cooking. Lots of soap makes tons of bubbles of course!

A visit to Kyle & Ashley's house

Here are a few pictures of our visit to Kyle & Ashley's a month ago

I borrowed this from a friends blog page. Enjoy...

Tag, I am it...
maybe i should try to not be so hard on myself all the time.

i love the smell of my babies when they get out of the bath, my husband when he gets home from work, fresh cut hay, of the salt water when we go camping

people would say that i’m a person who puts her family first

i don’t understand why kids have to hurt

when i wake up in the morning I wish it was Saturday so I could sleep in

i lost my willpower to make sure the house is clean every single day

life is precious, challenging, eye opening, and a gift.

my past is part of what makes me, me

i get annoyed when I have to go to work and I just want to stay home with my kids instead parties are something I always look forward too, however usually staying home with Kaitlyn & Grant sounds even better.

dogs are what greet me every time I open the back door

cats are fussy and independent.

tomorrow will mean that it is only 12 days until our anniversary and 19 days until our annual week long camping trip

i have low tolerance for people who think they are better than everyone else and judge & treat others as such. Nothing is more a turnoff than that.

i’m totally terrified of growing up

i wonder why life has taken me on this path somedays and where the next path will lead. Am I going to chose the right one that HE wishes.

never in my life did i expect to be so happy with just the way things are, would love watching movies all day with the kids on a stormy day, or expect marriage was this hard, in a good way...

high school sucked

when i’m nervous I clean

one time I ...almost made myself throw up worrying about my husband who was on a trip with no cell service and I couldn’t get a hold of him.

take my advice sleep when the baby sleeps!

making my bed happens....almost never happens except for when I wash the sheets, sorry Grandma!

i'm almost always praying God will watch over my family and friends, and protect them .

i’m addicted to the shows Wipeout and the Big Bang Theory, popcorn, sushi (minus the raw fish.), straightening my hair, working in my flower beds, the new Sensaria body butter scent Lemongrass.

I want someone to clean my house, I mean really clean my house top to bottom and organize everything for me in those neat little bins with labels in every closet and bathroom. And also check back periodically to fix it all again..Hey, a girl can dream right?...

Grant's 4th birthday

Last weekend we went to the water slides for Grant's 4th birthday. My baby is already 4 years old. Gosh they both grow up so fast. We had a great time for his party and it was a very enjoyable afternoon! Kailtyn went down the water slides for the first time by herself also. It was a very proud moment for her.

The wild child...

Here are some new pictures of Grant on the little four wheeler. He is so crazy on it, no fear whatsoever, that I actually can not watch anymore and Kasey is in charge of supervising him now on the 4 wheeler! I have to go in the house when he rides. He loves doing brodies in the gravel. That is his favorite thing to do. He has better throttle control now than a few months ago at at least has figured out what the brake is. I think he is going to be one of those motorcross guys when he grows up...

Miss Star

Here is Star, our horse that we got in April. Finally got a picture of Kaitlyn riding. My mom took a picture of Kaitlyn on her beloved horse(Thanks Mom!) Grandpa and Daddy fixed the saddle so the stirrups are a bit shorter for her. Kaitlyn's self confidence has certainly grown this year and she is very confident now on the horse. She is to the point where I can tie the leadrope on the saddle horn and Kaitlyn has the reins totally by herself and practices riding around the field. We were able adopt Star from the Equine Rescue place here in town. Grant is into riding the horse also however most of the time the 4 wheeler wins him over.

Kaitlyn's 6th birthday

Kaitlyn recently turned six years old. Such a big girl already. She had a few friends over to play for the afternoon.

Trip to Wanapum Dam

A few weeks ago we stopped at Wanapum Dam on the way back from Kyle & Ashley's house. The kids had a great time even though they couldn't see any fish in the fish ladder.
