More water fun!

Austyn and Hayden had a great idea to fill up, first rubber gloves with water, then they moved on to seeing how much water they could put in regular balloons before they popped! It was really funny watching them get all excited about the possibility of it popping as it got full! If you ever need to entertain children give them balloons and a hose!

Flu Bug!

Rylee got a flu bug so Cynthia, Shane's mom, took Austyn to the fair and Ry and I got to hang all day! This is a picture of her watching cartoons with her pedialite, saltines, yuck bucket, and of course her signature sunglasses! What a crack she is even when she's sick!

Why we don't have a real cat!

Shane and I decided it would be the best for our family to have battery powered animals. NOT that we don't like animals we just don't want any! So these are some pictures to prove how good our decision was! Hee Hee!

Morning Yogurt

The weather has been so nice the girls decided to enjoy the cool morning before it got too hot! They are always full of ideas of how to eat anywhere but at the kitchen table!

Summer S'mores

After a perfect day of sunshine and playing in the water with friends, the perfect ending was a campfire and s'mores!

Look at the chocolate all over that face!

She goes in for the bite!

Oh no she is stuck on the pull back!

Score! Pure satisfaction!

Makeover Madness!

Rylee's Auntie Nicole decided to let Rylee try out her obvious hidden talent as a makeup artist! Lovely Ry! Now she asks for mascara every time she sees me put on mine! Yikes!

Happy #5 Hayden!

Friday was Hayden's fifth birthday party and we celebrated with Mini Splash Mountain, Monsterbusters treasure hunt (Piarate and Alf(?) vs. kids), and awesome food family and friends!

Here is me and Austyn trying out Spalsh Mountain!


All the kids got pirate's booty and some great pirate teeth! Check out those smiles!

My little Rambo!

Austyn got an awesome present from her Grammy and Papa on the Farm! A paintball gun! She was so excited and especially loved the splat of the orange paint on the target! Targets for now, maybe the cats pooping in my flowerbeds later! Hee Hee!


See the resemblance!

Hair Documenting

Austyn got her hair cut and really wanted me to take a picture to show it and the "baby kitty" to the world! So here she is world! I cut about 4-5 inches off and she thought it was fun to watch it fall on the ground! The kitten is the new favorite play toy!

Rylee of course had to then have her hair done in "ponytails" and a picture taken also! I call these her horns because it is so fitting for her mischievous personality!

So funny this little one is!

A fight with the hose!

Rylee was trying to figure out the hose and turn the nozzle on. The only problem was that she pointed it straight at her face!

The after effects of the spray! She was so mad she threw it down on the ground and was cursing it in baby talk! I couldn't decipher what she was saying but it sounded bad!

Poor baby, but very funny! Hee Hee!

Fourth of July

We spent the fourth with friends BBQing, swimming, eating a lot, fireworks, and camping! We had a great time! Here are two of my girls Beth and Brandi who have beautiful children that my darling children also get to enjoy! Thanks for the invite Bethericious! Hee Hee!

Ry enjoying the benefits of an open buffet of food and treats! I think they had three each! My goodness! I guess that is what holidays are for!

It was chilly outside so swimming wasn't all that popular until austyn showed up all the adults and went in for a dip! Then the fun started with the pool slide!

Check out John's pink sweater! I'm not sure where that came from but it's hilarious!

Shane getting some daddy time in and teasing Ry after doing sparklers!

Me and the girls watching fireworks! Love them!

This is my favorite firework picture!

Spicing up teeth brushing!

The girls decided we needed to make brushing our teeth a little more glamorous? So they put on there shades and brushed! (Maybe it's because the bathroom light is too bright but either way they were funny!)

The Face Behind the Camera

Austyn was trying her hand at photography by capturing me posting on my blog. It seemed fitting so here I am!

Popsicles and Ketchup! What!?

I guess some people like ice cream and french fries, others like cheese on their apple pie, and mine like ketchup with their Popsicles! Craziness I say!

Beach Buddies

We met Jonda for lunch at the park to enjoy the amazing weather and get some beach time!

They are amazing! One minute they love eachother the next they can't stand to sit near eachother! I had to capture this while it lasted!

The water is soooo cold!

It is amazing what treasures they find and want to bring home! If only I could be content with sticks and stones!

Nothing cuter than little cowgirl boots!

We are on the farm and the girls take full advantage of getting thier boots on and tromping through the muck! They love to be dirty!

The one good thing about rain!

It has been raining so much the girls decided to get in a little puddle play during a break in the downpour.

Oliver the English Bulldog

Rylee made a new friend today with Oliver my friends English Bulldog. He loved Ry so she took him for walk! So cute!

My little terror!

Rylee is my little angle that grows horns! Within an hours time she had torn all of the stickers out of the sticker book and stuck them all over my car, threw all her corn everywhere on the kitchen floor, took paper out of the shredder, and wrote on Shane's school work! I couldn't stop the madness so I had to quarantine her to her bed for a nap!

The Shed

As some of you may know our shed got taken out by our neighbors tree that smashed through our fence on to the shed! It was fun coming home to that! Needless to say here is the new beefier one with my own little attachment for my stuff on the side! I am officially getting kicked out of the garage!

Old shed.

New Shed.
