Happy Anniversary!!!


7 years ago today I married the love of my life.  He loves me when I'm me, when I'm mad, when I'm happy and when I'm sad, he loves me when I'm cranky, he loves me when I'm stubborn, and he loves me unconditionally.  I am so blessed to have married so a great man.  Happy Anniversary Babe. 

SILENCE

Why yes that is what you hear, or don't rather.  Both of my children our down for the night, (in their own beds).  Yes that is right, while we were on vacation all the kiddos stayed in the room with the bunkbeds, so when we got home, we decided this would be a great time to try and get Travis off our bedroom floor.  Don't get me wrong, I don't mind him being there, but how nice would it be if he could sleep in his own bed, and to top things off I didn't even have to lay down with him.  I just tucked him in and off to sleep he went.  I am so glad that bed we just payed off is finally getting some use.

AMEN

SCHLITTERBAHN 2010

So we had our 5th annual Schlitterbahn trip this past weekend.  Oh how I looked forward to this time.  Each year we go the kids do more and more.  This weekend was super duper packed and the lines were a little long so we didn't ride too many of the really big ones. They have a lazy river on steroids, we'll say with these ginormous waves, and that is were we spend most of our time for day one.  Day two some of our friends and their kids met us at the park and spent the day with us.  (Pics to follow).  The evening of day two, my parents offered to watch all 6 kids so we could go to dinner with Chris and Laurie.  Wow don't know of too many parents that would undertake that.  I am so lucky.   The kids had a great time (it probably helps that they were totally wiped out).  So I plan to continue this trip for as long as my kiddos find it enjoyable, I know I sure love it.  Each year we find things that will make it  a little easier to travel with the kiddos.  So here are the pics.

FAMILY SATURDAY


I absolutely love love love hanging out with the family.  Well if you know my kiddos they always wake up absolutely cranky joyous in the morning 6:30 am.  Anyways I have been trying to do better with taking pictures of what we do so I took some this morning.  This was our day.

 I found this cool idea on a website, you take all your broken crayons and melt them to make new ones, the kids thought it was really cool.  Abby just like the way they taste :)

They turned out really neat

And this was all before 9 am!!

Weekend of FUN!!!


We had the kiddos this past weekend and wanted to take them to do some fun stuff.  We have season passes to Six Flags and Hawaiin Falls, so that is what we did.  This was Travis' first time to really go and be able to ride the rides and have fun, and that we did.  He had such a blast hanging out and riding all the rides.  Autumn wanted me to ride the Superman since her dad refuses to, but I think I'll get him on there before it's all said done.  It was soooo hot so not very busy, which made it great for us.  Oh yea and who could forget it was all made possible by Auntie Leah watching Abbers so we didn't have to take her in the heat.  When we got there to pick up Abby, let's just say Auntie Leah needed a much deserved nappy.

Here we are after getting absolutely soaked, as per the above pics of very fast approaching water dowsing us

this was in Looney Toon land, does't autumn looked thrilled.

This was the Conquistador, man we rode this thing a ton of times.  Travis loved it

I had to work hard for this pic.

Break Time

Abby's Ear Piercing

June 24,2010

I was so excited to get Abby's ears pierced.  For me that's just what you do.  Girls have earrings.  I do have to say though I'm kinda chicken when it comes to being the one to take my kids to do things like this.  I.E. shots and other things that cause pain, not my favorite.  So I brought along a somewhat willing friend.  (Leah = godparent) to my kiddos.  So here are the pics, and I think they speak for themselves.
