E L E V E N

My first born turns 11! I am so blessed to have him in my life. He made me a mother and teaches me everyday. He makes me want to be a better person!

My friend said you could make foundnt out of marshmallows so I tried it. It was pretty good. Such a sweet boy. all he wanted for his "party" was his friend to spend the night and have pizza.

So we did, just that. Had pizza, cake and ice cream and some gifts. He had fun and that is what matters most.

My little boy started middle school this year and it made me sick to my stomach! By his bday he had been going for a full month. He always reassures me that it is not too bad and that he likes it. He wakes himself every morning and is so responsible. He gets dressed, eats breakfast and practices the piano all with out being asked. Oh and he makes his own lunch! See what I mean, about teaching me everyday. I love him with all my heart!

B starts Preschool

My sweet little guy started preschool. This is his school photo. He loves going and I miss him while he is gone. He is my little buddy, my snuggle bug and helper. Baby A doesn't mind that his bro is gone, but he is happy when he comes home from "peeschool".

Summer Fun

So we have had an AMAZING summer! So busy I haven't had time to blog about it! We are doing well and getting used to school being in session. So come back soon (like in 2 weeks) and I will hopefully have posted more about our life this past summer!

Camping

We really like camping! My coworker suggested a place called Grover Hot Springs. So we thought we would go camping this summer. We thought it would be more fun for the kids and us to bring friends so we did. We invited our friends the Jensens. We went for 3 days. We made reservations to late so our camp sites were not close to eachother. But we made the best of it. We got all set up and made dinner. The kids were having fun! N even had his own tent to sleep in all alone!

We had fun making smores and enjoying nature! Our biggest adventure was on our 2nd day. We all wnet on a hike up to a waterfall. The kids all did a great job hiking especially since it was so HOT! I have never been camping and it be so HOT! As we hiked we felt a few sprinkles and it was nice to get cooled off. Once we were done at the falls. Hunny Bun said he and first born and Babe on Back would go back to camp to check on things since we left all the windows open and our frineds had left the rainfly off of their tent.

When the rest of us finally got there we could tell by looking at the ground that it had rained HARD! Our tent was not too soaked but our friends the Jensen's were SOAKED! Luckily after we kinda got settled, covered our tents and ate lunch, the sun came out. It was so warm that The Jensen's were able to dry out all of their items so that we could enjoy the rest of our trip together.

We went on another hike, more smores, a dip in the Hot Springs Pool, a dip in the stream and even attended the campfire with the ranger! It was a wonderful way to spend time with our family and friends!

July 4th....

Where else can we eat, not go to work, eat, have friends, have a birthday, and watch fireworks! I love the 4th of July! I love living here in the USA!
