On the Farm

We went to Wheeler Farm with my mom and sisters today.

To say the kids loved it would be an understatement!

The highlight of the trip was that all the kids got to milk a cow! They all were able to produce some milk all on their own. Even Sanders. He was very put out that his turn was not longer.

I kind of wish my kids had the chance to live on a farm. There's just something kind of awesome about it. Dirty. Very dirty. But very awesome.

Gray

I'm painting furniture. I'm painting it gray.

It's going to be awesome!

I've been thinking about and mind decorating Sanders' big boy room for months now. It's fun to start seeing the things from my mind come to life.

The fourth with pictures

We hosted a Fourth of July party at our house on Monday.

I love my yard for parties. Enough room for everyone to do what they want.

This year was especially fun because my sister, Annie, and her family was able to join us.

All my mom and Dave's grandkids!

Twins? No just best buddy cousins!

Fireworks

Happy Fourth of July!

Tradition

Per tradition, I will only be posting something short and sweet since we just returned home from vacation.

Parenthood and vacations

I am hiding away in a hotel bathroom waiting for the youngest of the ankle bitters to fall asleep, at the early hour of 10:00pm, so I can go play games in the lobby with the adults.

At this rate all the games will be done by the time Sanders gets over the fact that I indeed mean to keep him in his bed. Oh the humanity of it all! He can't believe we are THOSE kinds of parents either.

Just when you think it's safe....

Karaia and Beckham have been old enough, for awhile now, to pretty much take care of themselves as a general rule. They can make themselves breakfast, lunch, and as I have recently found out, dinner. They can dress themselves, get themselves to school, do their hair--Karaia is even learning the fine art of blow drying her own hair, shower and bath themselves, and all other matters of hygiene.....

...or so I thought.

Do remember our Bear Lake trip?

Do you recall that we returned from said trip about two weeks ago?

Well, we are packing for another trip this weekend and I just discovered that Beckham had not unpacked his toothbrush from his bag after we went to Bear Lake...

"WHAT?!?!?! You mean you haven't used a tooth brush since Bear Lake?! Do you realize that it's been TWO weeks?!?!?! Gross, Buddy. Gross."

"It's OK, Mom. I just put toothpaste on my finger and used it like a toothbrush."

I guess that explains the toothpaste breath that threw me off the scent....the SCENT! Get it? 'Cause he should have had REALLY horrible breath by now....hahahahahaha....*wiping a laughing tear*...I crack myself up.

Just when you think it's safe to let them run their own show......
