Sauce and Sunshine

My sleeping little beauties or animals?! Not sure!

It is so entertaining being a parent because you never know what your little cazies will do or come up with next! Then there are always the mixed emotions that come as a result of their actions! Sometimes I am in awe, scared to death, proud, stricken, and then moments like these, when they are sleeping, that warm my heart! They are so funny! My little animals!

Almost the beach!

We finally got some sun so I did the yard work and Rylee got to bury herself in the sand! Shane asks her everyday what she did and she replys "just played and played and played!" What it was like to be little!

I am officially a biker babe!

Yes I finally got my permit! I know, I know it took me long enough! I was just trying to hold out for my own bike, but since my mother has a collection I figured I could borrow one until them! Thanks mamma! We then got to go for a good long ride, and I got to drive! Yay!

The Egg Hunt

Yes they still had to wear their dresses on the farm, but arn't they just so darn cute!

Home, home on the range!

It was great to visit the fam for spring break and an early Easter. I needed to get my little citified girls to roll in the dirt for a few days! They sure do it well! Love it!

I am attempting to return! HA!

I know I am horrible! I know! I am not going to even try to catch up but at least I will update!

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!
