A Slip'in and a slide'in....

Whoo-Hoo, it hot out! So, I let the kids talk me into buying a slip and slide when we were at the store. We had a all out contest, judged by Kori, she did not enjoy the water! I even went for a "slip", not the best thing to do when you spent the morning at the chiropractor! Please don't tattle on me! ;)

Kade's Five!

Happy Birthday Bubba! Kade had his "Golden Birthday", turning Five on the Fifth!

Happy 4th!

I have decided that getting 4 grumpy, squirmy kids to pose a half second for a photo is impossible! I think we are going to have to pose one at a time and photo shop!

What more American than Apple Pie? The St. Paul Rodeo!!!!

Robert and I got to sneak out kid free (thanks to my Mom) on Thursday night and meet up with some friends to go to the Rodeo! Ye-Haw! I love the bull riding, but I think the wild cow milking and the chuck wagon races are right up there with the best events!

Vacation....

Oh, thank goodness we are home!!!! After driving 1420 miles with four children, a husband, a travel trailer and three, yes three, flat tires, there is no place I would rather be! :) There are a ton of stories I could tell, but, to find the time to type them all out will never happen. So, I will let the pictures do the talking, they are worth a 1000 words! ;)

These boots were made for walkin'....

Now, the sun is shining, the sky is bight blue, the temperature in almost 72, what shoes would you wear? Flip-flops, sandals, maybe a sneaker, or even go barefoot but no, no one would wear rubber boots on such a nice day, unless they are named Kamryn. Her new favorite footwear is her red ladybug rubber boots with NO socks. Oh, let's hope she grows out of them fast, I do not want to smell them at the end of the summer.

Two Wheel Fun....

Last night Kayla came running into the house yelling for me. Usually this means someone is hurt or something is broken, but this time the yell was an excited one. Kade was riding his bike without training wheels, whoo-hoo! Now, last spring, yes over a year ago, the training wheels on his bike had broken and not wanting to take the time or money to by new ones, Kade was told he would have to now ride a two wheel bike. He was not very happy about that, he loved bike riding and didn't want to learn a new way of riding it. But yesterday, out of the blue, he picked up his bike, hopped on and took off! Whoo-hoo again!
