24th of July 2008

Some of you are probally wondering what an Oreo cookie and the 24th have to do with each other right ??? Well this afternoon while we were peeling cucumbers to take to my dads house for the swim party, Kadee started her "middle child" mellow drama !!! She never gets to peel the cucumbers only Abby...which is not true. Well Abby matter of factly turns to Kadee and tells her "Kadee your like an Oreo cookie...you are the good cream in the middle and me and Logan are the yucky crunchy cookie that gets thrown away"!!! I thought I was going to bust up laughing !!! Abby is full of "adult" reasoning !!!

I've been TAGGED !!!

1. Self portrait...I didnt take it hope that isnt breaking the rules but oh well...this is me with my meet and greet pass for Jason Aldean !!! Wasn't Tim Mcgraw but still fun !!!

2. What are your kids doing...Kadee and Abby playing with Brylee...we are babysitting. And no its not a bad picture of Brylee with her eyes closed...this is how she smiles and once she saw the camera she turned on the chessey grins. The girls had to settle for tending her because Drake is sleeping...gotta love sleeping babies!!!

Here is Logan...pimping himself in the bathroom...he is going to hang out with some friends...he is not one to sit home and do nothing always on the go this one is.












3. Your fridge...I almost left the door closed for this one...pretty shameful pancakes (thank you Logan) milk, bread, and watermelon. Pretty hard to keep food in here when the kids are home all day by themselves...I swear they are bottomless pits!!!












4. Sink...thank heavens for the flash reflecting off the window...yes there are dishes in there but I have a blog to create!!! I heard it said that a clean house is a sign of a broken computer!!! I completely agree with this!!! Way more fun than house work!

5. Favorite shoes...dont have one favorite what ever goes with what im wearing. Actually I prefer to be bare foot I have very tough feet from being barefoot my ENTIRE childhood...wont forget the days running on the road from one shade spot to the next so your feet wont burn as much. One thing I will say about shoes is my husband loves them...he has more than me...these pictures of his shoes that ARE in the closet im sure if I went downstairs there would be at least 3 or 4 pair not to mention the ones in the garage, come to think of it he might have so many so he doesnt have to put them away...he will always have a pair in the closet!!! (not sure what happened to the pic on the right...my camera is messed up and it was posted before I noticed it and I cant figure how to get it off)

6. Favorite room...being that it is summer my favorite room is my yard. I love to plant flowers and have my hands in the dirt as much as possible. Im a freak for yard work (not mowing the lawn). I just like to be outside.






7. Dream vacation...hahahah what a joke...this is not my DREAM vacation...it is my reality. It seems that the only time we go on a vacation this is right behind us along with three kids that are fighting and asking "Are we there yet ?" But this is the the point we are at in life...my dream vacation more than likely will be when the kids are gone then it off to somewhere tropical with a white sand beach. I might even take Gary !!!



8. My closet...if what Lisa says about closets are true then im in trouble!!! Messy...just close the door and noone will know!!! Now im thinking like my kids!!!





9. Toilet...gross I freaking hate them !!! I should have taken the picture of Logans since it is the only one cleaned today...he had to do it in order to hang out with his friends...but then I would have had to go in the basement and some things are better not seen!!!









10. Laundry Room...the room I spend the most time in...next to the kitchen of course...looks like we will be having a "sock party" tonight...they have been piling up since no one is wearing them in the summer.




And one more picture...someone woke up and he is just too cute not to be included in this blog!!!


Now the deal is im suppose to tag 5 other people but being the "looser" blogger I am...the only one that hasn't done this is you Shaleece so I guess "tag your it". Or anyone else that reads this is welcome to do it as well...just leave your name in my comments so I can check it out !!! Have fun !!!

4th of July

This year we spent the 4th in Island Park with Tiffany, Lindsey and their families and my parents at their cabin which always makes for good times. We had alot of fun swimming at my dads boat dock and watching the fireworks from there as well. My dad took the boys out for a ride on the boat when we first got there and ran into some problems which ended up needing Kaleb to tow them in with his jet ski !!!

This is them after a safe rescue.... my dad was not the happiest since this ment no fishing on Henerys Lake the next morning !!!

The next day we were all hanging out at the cabin and Lindseys boys noticed a bat that had flew in on the porch and rested nicely behind the shutters...well that was not going to last with girls in camp so the guys set out to get rid of it !!! They did have a good plan to scare it out one side and catch it in a fishing net on the other side...well all went as planned until I wanted a picture of the event and Gary opened the net...the dang thing flew out...and chased me across the deck...me sreaming the whole way...the guys were laughing so hard they wished they had the camera because the best pictures would have been of me freaking out !!! Well the bat ended up "resting" in a shutter on the other side of the cabin...until they once again scared it out...this time to only be thrown aganist the shed and killed !!! Thank heavens...now the shutters are going to be filled with foam so they can no longer "rest" there !!!

Catch that dang thing will you....

We also went swimming at my dads boat dock...much more peaceful when your with mom...Gary thinks if you say you want to swim...get in and swim...so when we got down there and the girls weren't getting in...he threw them in !!!

On the 4th they let off fireworks on the lake that we watched from the dock...it was alot of fun something I have never done before. They start out with a boat parade where anyone can decorate boats and drive up the river to show everyone...after the parade the fireworks begin...it was really neat to see them with all the boats in the lake with their lights on...there had to be at least 150 boats. The fireworks were fun to watch as well. Here are some pictures of use waiting for the fireworks.

On Saturday we went to Mesa Falls for the 5th time !!! I didn't mind because it is beautiful there and even though we have been there that many times it is the first time for Lindsey and her family and LOGAN...yes hard to believe we have been there that many times and never taken Logan...he has always been at scout camp or football camp.(Pay no attention to his FAVORITE shirt !!!). When we got there Abby was a little "p" off she had to go there again...she said fine I will go and walk down all those stairs but im not going to take pictures AGAIN...so I took one of Logan by himself. Sad to say but yes the little princess does control everything...she is like the man behind the curtain...but we do have to pay attention to her...otherwise life is MISERABLE !!!
