Vacation Pics

Vacation

We went on Vacation last week. We went through, NM, then up CO, then up WY and over and up MT is that Montanna?? We ended up in Kalispell which is WAY at the top. We had fun and my sister got married it was definately different then what we were used to for sure but we had fun just the same. I got to see my nephew, whom I have haven't seen in 12 years. We went to a house of mystery, toured a volcano, drove through Yellowstone, Camped every night, went to a house of MYSTERY, went to a museum, swam in a VERY COLD lake, saw some bear, elk, antelope, deer, dinosaur tracks, eagles, and lady bugs by the millions!! It was great. Here are some pics!

My friends are AWESOME!

I have the best best friends ever, let me tell you about them. I have always wanted a group of best friends and now I have them and they are great! God has blessed me more then abundantly!!!!

Bridgette aka Bridgetter is my loving life friend! She is amazingly honest sometimes to the point where we all have to shout BRIDGETTE! To which she replys WHAT? She is always there for you no matter what you need. She is ALWAYS on your side! It doesn't matter what it is she will take your side!

Kimberley is the one with the best advice, even if you don't want it she will give it to you and you will end up using it! She is the best mother I have ever seen. She swings her son, my daughter and the little boy that looks sad cause he doesn't have anyone to swing him either! She makes the best tuna fish ever!!!

Kristina is the new mom! She is over protective of her baby and loves him to no end. She is the most spiritual woman I am proud to say I know. She loves to laugh and is BEAUTIFUL!

Erin M is my Crafty Texan! She is so great! She can create art with an old newspaper! She is always the one to sit back and observe but ready to cut up if you draw her into the conversation! She is always ready for a pic and it is hard to get a bad one of her!

Erin L is my party animal, not for much longer though! She is always trying new things and wanting to do something better! I miss her so much and wish she lived closer again!!

Barbara is my WAY BACK cool friend!!! She loves the 80's anything in its original state and very eclectic we give her a hard time but only cause we love her so much!!!! She is also the exprimental one and will try anything at least once!!

These are my best girls!! They are amazing friends, awesome mothers and the best women you could ever hope to know!

GNI

VACATION!!!!

We are about to leave! I have so much to do and I am not doing it! I am on here. I had my girlfriends over last night and had a BLAST so here is mostly a picture post!

Busy Beaver!!!

I have been super busy! Bryan cut his finger really bad and had to get 4 stitches which he had Dr. Clark do at the clinic with no pain meds! OUCH!!!!!!! He is healing but grouchy about what he can't do!

The kids have been fighting like crazy and driving me NUTS I am hoping I put a stop to it they are doing great today!

We had a birthday party for Quinny yesterday and had some of our best friends over. We had a few people who couldn't make it and we missed them. I made him a skull cake it was freaking awesome. I will do a pic post of all of this since I haven't uploaded anything yet lol!

I have all the laundry done and folded but working on putting it away. I have Kater 99% packed, both boys 99% packed, the bathroom stuff 70% packed, now Bryan and Quin and it will be done! We will be gone for 9 days I think! WOW YEAH!!!!

Fun Day

Kelby had speech today and so we stopped in to say hi to Daddy. Then we stopped so I could get my hair trimmed.

After lunch and nap Kater and I went to the library where she picked me out a book and so far. I love it!! Miss Terri also picked out a Dean Koonz book too. And we rented Delta Farce!

Then we went on a looooooooooooong walk and headed home to watch the movie!

So here are our 4th pics. We always get matching shirts from Old Navy this year however, we had Quinny which isn't always the case! I was so happy! We bought fireworks and went out to the country and shot them off on Friday then on Saturday we had a BUNCH of friends over for a BBQ, swimming, eating, chatting and then we were planning on walking to the park to watch Vocal Trash and the BIG fireworks show but God decided we needed more fellowship and provided tons of rain, his own fireworks and over course a wall cloud. The kids still had a blast and we laughed so hard we cried. Ahhhhhh, the memories! Well, of course I am posting pics, I didn't take that many honestly! Here are my boys, Kater, the hot couple that hosted the party, my super yummy annual flag cheesecake and one the kids alllllllll gathered aroung a video game of course lol! Oh well it was a blast just the same! And we get to see our fireworks on Labor day!!!!!! WAHOO!!

Tired

I am so tired today! We are dog sitting this weekend and so far so good. My dogs like her and my kids love her so it is working out perfect! Today we went to Paws-N-Claws, it is like build a bear but "cheaper" yeah right! It didn't feel cheaper lol! The kids had fun, Kater made Liberty Lamb and picked her out a best friends t-shirt, Kelby made Paco Panda and picked him out a leather outfit, and Spencer made Jeter Monkey and he is wearing what? Yes a baseball outfit. The lady at the counter called him Jetter, I thought Kimberley might die on the spot!

Tonight we are going to blow things up!! WAHOO!!!! Nothing beats setting off fireworks with my little firecrackers! Yesterday I made a quilt cake for the technician at Bryan's clinic, I was very very happy with how it turned out but I need some new pans! Oh yeah we picked Quinny up yesterday for about a month visit I am so freaking excited. He is looking so grown up I almost can't stand it! He will 14 in 11 short days! I am so sad!

Jumping For Joy

There is nothing better then a cool place to hang with your friends on a hot summer's day right? RIGHT! And Jump 4 Joy even lets the kids play too, lol, well it was supposed to be funny! That is where we are going today, so some of you may be asking, What is that? Well, it is a "warehouse" that has been filled with bounce houses! It is amazing fun for moms and kids alike. It is cool on the inside and tons of jumping fun for mom/dad too if you want! So, we are off today to join the jumping world and have fun with our friends!
