Emily's Pink boots

No self respecting trip to the country should be attempted without proper foot wear. How lucky Emily was that her Aunt Kiahna was kind enough to get her the pinkest most lovely pair of cowgirl boots. She loves them and looked so cute in them. They were just the thing to wear while hunting dinosaurs at the Vernal Feild House Museum and got to be broken in as she rode a horse for the first time. They are stable enough for the terribly difficult "balance a bottle of water on your head with your legs crossed trick". They are fashionable and functional, what more could any one ask of a pair of foot wear! Thanks again Aunt Kiahna!

Sticker BOY!

I re-arranged the craft and art supplies last night. But based on this photographic evidence I may need to change the location of the stickers. Sammy got a hold of some and decide to decorate himself and then to spread the cheer and joy of stickers to the house. So the walls of my hallway are lovely with stickers. He is such a cute and funny boy. I have really loved these mornings home with him. Getting to treasre this time, savoring these moments before he goes to school full time and my little boy is gone for good. So as I am sure there will be other installments of the adventures of Sticker Boy. He sure loves his stickers. In fact even as I write this he is reloading his legs to waddle around the house putting stickers up on the walls. So long as they come down before daddy gets home all should be fine. I love my special boy.

SUPER HEROeS!!!!

The last time Jacob and Trevor were here this kids decided they were super heroes and of course no super hero is complete with out a cape, so I made capes. They are posing so cute! When they weren't running around saving each other.They always have such a good time when they come over and we love having them. While I am glad Kiahna's house sold, I will miss her trips here when she gets settled in her nice big home. Although from the pictures there is room for us to visit.

Water Park FUN time!

Amy and I planned a play date to take the kids to the waterpark down the street from where we live. Sam wasn't so sure about the whole idea for most of the time we were there. He eventually got with the idea and was not wanting to leave. Emily was ready to play from the moment we got there. She, Dain and Dylon werre ready to play from the moment we got there. We had a great time watching the kids run and play. I think we will have to make some more trips there so the kids can have a good time running around and get all nice and wet. It is nice havng friend who lives across the street even if they don't get to play as often as they'd like.

The Dorsey's Visit!

July 7th was a great day! Cheryl, Mike , Anna and Matthew made a visit to our house on their way home from thier week long vacation. Lee was called into work that day so unfortunatly he missed them. It was so nice to get to see them and to be able to just hang out. Mike was there too but some how never managed to get in a picture. Anna and Emily hit it off as soon as Anna overcame her usual shyness. They held a princess tea party in the living room. (with tiara's and everthing!) Then we all went to Burger king for lunch. The kids had a great time and so did the adult. Then we brought all the kids back to the house and put them down for a much needed nap. Then the real fun began. I showed Mike and cheryl the finer points of the Wii. We bowled, golfed, tennised(?) we boxed. We made them their own Mii's so if ever the come to visit again they can plan with us and so we can play them on our Wii. It was so nice. I miss her and I know that the kids had a good time. Lee and I need to make a trip down to see them. Soon. WHen it come to to cheryl I like the old girl scouts motto. Make new friends but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold. Or in Cheryl's case diamond encrusted platinum!

Our little Firecracker!

Sam loved the idea of the sparklers! He liked the different colors and was having a good time. But being the sensitive soul he didn't like the smoke form them. He liked it when his daddy started lighting the small collection of fountains that I had gotten. He loved the sparkling the shiny lights. He was not so happy when the rest of the block started shooting off more of the louder ones. But we did have fun having a simple small fourth of July. We had friend come over earlier in the day and hang out with us and then had leftovers for dinner. It is nice that we got have a smallish little celebration. God Bless America!

TUNNEL TIME!!!

We had blessing of having Jacob and Trevor come over to spend part of the day. They had a great time playing and running around like little wild people. It was a blast! Toward the end we brought out the alliagator tunnel and then the real fun started. The were going though it like crazy. Chasing each other and laughing and getting all wiped out.
They had a great time just hanging out with each other. The farewells were tragic, there were tears and calling of names. They sure do like spending time together. It makes me look forward to Greens Lake and a whole lot of cousin type fun and frolic!
