Coming Soon...

We have been busy but a good busy. It is almost time for quiet time at our house so I have just  a minute.  

We are doing good. Swim lessons have started and my kidos are getting tan. They are Little fish! They love, love, the water!

I am going to do some great freezer cooking with my pals and am SUPER excited!

Got to go to a scrapbook workshop..FUN!

We went camping and hiking and are looking forward to the 4th of July..it is the Best Day of The Year!

"I Lost My Tooth!!"

K had a wiggly tooth for sometime. We were eating dinner and what do you know..she wiggled it right out!

Once she saw what she looked like without it there she said she wanted me to lose a tooth too. The Tooth Fairy came a few days later (because she didn't want to put it under her pillow) and left her $2.00. She was very excited!

Father's Day Camping

So we really like to go camping...but it is a lot of work to go. We haven't been camping since K was still in her infant seat. So we thought it would be fun to go. That is what W wanted to do for Father's Day so we went. Here are some pictures from the trip.

N helping to set up our new tent. We had to buy a new one so we could all fit in one tent!

Miss K and Monkey B having fun!

After we were all set up and had some dinner, we went for some "explorin" (hiking). This was over looking Bear River Resivor right before sunset.

One of our favorite parts of camping...the Campfire and smores. This was B first experience with the yummy treats and if you know him you know that he is all about the SWEETS! Not so much for Smores. He thought they were too sticky!! The rest of us disagree..

The next morning after Breakfast we went for a hike.

Littlest one was lucky for the hike! He got a ride and a nap.

As the sun was setting that night.

I felt so close to our Father in Heaven.

I am grateful for this Beauitiful World and all that he ahs Blessed my little Family with.

Cute stuff for Grandma

Some really cute kids!

Leapin' Lizards!

So at our new house there are all kinds of wildlife... birds (various varieties), wild turkeys roam the neighborhood, squrels hop from trees to wires, deer by the riverwalk, lots of neighborhood dogs and cats, geese fly by EARLY in the AM....well today the kiddos and Dad caught a Lizard....

The next day our cat killed the poor little lizard.

8 Months Already!!!

So our Sweet Little One is 8 months old! How fast that time flew bye. Some of the things he can do now in his own words.....

....Sit up and spit up.....Sleep all night (WOOOHOOO!! for my mom) ...Smile....Grab at everything!! learning to use a cup.(hey its harder than you think).... play with my toys and things that are not my toys...want to stand...smile...eat really well.. I even now eat what everyone else is eating, my cool mom just blends it up in a baby food grinder...Smile..I can suck my thumb and eat my toes (lets see you try that ;D)... and smile a lot...Yup! being a baby is Grand. Oh did I mention that I have cut 3 teeth! Oh yeah and I have really messy cute curls on top of my head...

So here are some cute pictures of our sweet Little one who is growing oh so fast.

Psst! It's me again! Aren't I cute! I have these long messy curls on the top of my head. My Daddy says cut em..My momma says No way! I'm with my momma..they get lot's of attention.

The "Little" Graduate

Now our sweet little Princess has "graduated" from Kindergarten. I really don't like calling moving from Kindergarten to 1st grade "Graduating" (and I'm a Kindergarten teacher). I think it should just be a "Celebration". Don't get me wrong, these little pumkins learn a lot and go through a lot to finish.. it is amazing what the state of CA expects a 5 year old to be able to learn and do injust 176 days of instruction. But she did it and she loved it. And now it is on to 1st grade!

Waiting to Perform. Saying her part.

Way to go Sweetie! Here is to many more years of School!
