Swimming!!!

This summer we have been swimming and going to splash pads quite a bit already. Last summer, with me being preggo and then with a new born, we didn't go swimming once, so this year I'm trying to take the kids lots. So far we have gone at least once a week, and we've had so much fun but no camera to capture the fun times. Today I remembered it though. The kids had a blast swimming. I was surprised how long they lasted. We swam for an hour and a half, and I had to drag them out! Now I am enjoying some quiet time, while they take nice long naps. The kids are so much fun. I don't know what I did with myself before them. We are going to stay overnight at the St. George house and probably go swimming again tomorrow before we go home.

This is Macee's latest face that she pulls. Isn't it great?? She always looks at everyone with this look on her face. I'm not sure what it means. Also this is kinda how I've started doing her hair. I was doing headbands, she pulled them out, so I started doing a pigtail on top of her head, she pulls that out now so she always has a mohawk, and her hair doesn't lay flat, so I put some gel in it and it goes kinda curly and crazy. She is such a cutie!! I love her to pieces.

Parker was jumping in with his tube. He thought he was pretty big. He also kept putting his head in the water. Hopefully he'll be swimming with floaties before long.

Memorial Weekend!!!

We went camping with Orrin and Georgia for Memorial Weekend. As always we had tons of fun. Reece and Parker went out Friday night. Macee and I went out Friday night after Susy Randall's viewing and ate hamburgers then we came back home, so I could attend Susy's funeral on Saturday. It was a great service. She was a really neat lady. Saturday afternoon Macee and I went out and camped the rest of the weekend with everyone. We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was great. We camped between the reservoir turn off and the reservoir. I've never seen so many people up there. It was packed. We rode the rhino and 4-wheeler, went fishing, took the dogs swimming, played in the dirt, played games, and ate good food. Parker was in heaven riding grandpa Orrin's 4-wheeler that he bought for the grandkids. He thought he was so big and cool to ride by himself. He did a great job although I was pretty nervous he was gonna run into a tree or get bucked off. He only had one close call, but he recovered it pretty well. Kenz and Randan came for the weekend. It was a short visit and spent between both of their families, but we did get to see them a little. They came up on Sunday afternoon and visited us. We took Ginger and Moby (the dogs) up swimming. Then we went back to camp for some yummy dutch oven chicken and potatoes. My mom and dad also came up and ate with us. On Monday we came home and worked out in the yard. Macee was in the water in no time and then played in the mud. She loves to get dirty. Monday night we ate with my parents and celebrated my dad's birthday.

The kids looked so cute before church one day so I snapped some pictures and this is the best one. Reece only let me take 4 and everyone knows that is NOT enough when dealing with a 3 1/2 year old and a 1 year old, but I wasn't gonna argue with him, he was grumpy enough, so no smiles. I do have to say they still look pretty dang cute.

Just trying this out

Just want to see if this works.

Holy Mountain

We had a good weekend. We went down to Meadview AZ to Reece's grandparents property for Singing on the Mountain, a Baptist luncheon and all day singing. We go down every year and help cook the food. This year we cooked 6 16 inch dutch ovens of potatoes, and there were between 200-300 people there. The people were amazed at how we were cooking in the dutch ovens, taking pictures and everything. They couldn't believe it. The weather was a little chilly, but overall not too bad. The kids had a blast playing in the dirt. They were all filthy by the end of the day. They were also extremely tired. By the time 8:00 rolled around we had four tired cranky babies, between Shannon and I, and then there was Macee still just a goin. It was good to see everyone down there. We only see them a couple times a year, so its fun. I didn't have my camera so there aren't any pictures.
I'm still working on uploading all my pictures from my camera to my computer. My computer is so old it won't read my new 4 G camera card, so I have to use the camera cord and do them all. It takes a really long time, again because my computer is so old, but I have a bunch of cute ones. They'll eventually get posted, maybe not until I get a new computer though.
We are also in the process of putting our backyard in, so I'll post those pictures once its all done. Hopefully in the next week or two.

Another Month Gone

Well another month has come and gone since my last post. We have done some fun things this past month. I even have pictures to show for it, but I don't have the internet at my home right now so I haven't posted them yet. Finally a good excuse as to why it has been five weeks with no update. I'm going to St. George today and hopefully they can help me. Macee thought she needed the verizon wireless card out of my computer and helped herself to it. My sweet sis mailed me her old one, but I need to get it activated or something, so hopefully I'll get it working today. Here's something funny Parker keep's saying " mom I'm gonna invite myself over to grandma Becky's house k?" then he says it a couple more times and heads on over. I'm not really sure what he's meaning to say, but I think it's pretty funny.
