CrAZy.......

This is how life has felt lately....busy busy busy!!! In the last 3 months since I have posted we have moved, school has ended, the sun finally came out, summer sports have started and finished, we lost our pet frog, and we have made so many memories and have had so much fun!!! I just wanna catch this up a little bit for journaling purposes.

We were able to go camping over Father's Day. I think tent camping should be illegal, but the kids had an absolute BLAST!!! Kaden and Emily each caught a fish, all of the kids got extra filthy, and we ate some awesome food. It was a great weekend for sure.

Alli finished 5th grade, Emily and Jackson finished 3rd. Kaden is super excited to be starting kindergarten in the fall.

Alli and Emily each went to church campy for a week. Jackson went to 4H camp for 3 days and loved it!!! He was so tired when he got off that bus, but had so many stories to share!!! He was awarded Most Helpful at camp and that made this mama super proud!!!


We have 2 birthdays coming up this week. Jackson will be 9 and Brooklyn will be 3!!!!


The camera card is lost, so as soon as I remember to get another one at the store and take some summer time pictures I'll be sure to post!!!

So Pretty.....

Miss Brooklyn helped herself to some fingernail polish she found. She did a pretty good job, minus the smears on her face...guess we'll have to review the difference between lip stick and fingernail polish. This girl loves girly stuff. She carries her purse around filled with lip glosses and applies it as often as possible. Oh we love our little princess!!!

Finally......

We finally went to the park......it was 62ish I think all day.....the kids played for 2 wonderful hours....I did one of my most favorite things of all time, I laid in the sun and read. We all even got a little tiny hint of a sunburn on our cheeks....oh how I love Spring....thank you for finally showing up. We may just even go to the park tomorrow too.....

sorry for the poor pictures.....I think I may need to invest in a new camera.....but that will have to wait until after the big move....which is a week. I am so so so excited!!! The space + backyard= Heaven for this mommy!!!!

Pinkalicious....

This book is VERY popular at our house!!! And Brooklyn was so happy when we saw that at Burger King, the toys in the happy meals are Pinkalicious themed!!! She has enjoyed her crown very very much!!!! She is definitely our Princess!!!!

Just in Case.....

Just in case you've forgotten what we look like, here's your reminder!!! We're alive and well and have been super busy!!! So much to tell, from wrestling and birthdays, to buying a house, and losing jobs, I promise to fill in all the blanks soon...this is my journal and all....so for now, just enjoy the picture and know that we're all doing fantastic and I'll update soon!!! I swear!!! Oh and to kill part of the suspense, I did find my camera thank you!!!

Gone Missing.....

The camera has been missing for 3 weeks now......as soon as it is found, I will post pics. A lot has been going on, so for memory sake, I'll just post without pictures for now.

I changed my hair color to brunette, and I have to say I'm quite enjoying the change. So, I think it'll be this way for a little while.

We had Miss Emily's birthday party on Jan 30th. She turned 9!!! We went sledding at Grandma and Grandpa Gunter's place in McCammon, and I have to say it was a blast!!! All of the kids had such a fantastic time. And then we drank cocoa around the fire Grandpa Stockwell built for us. After sledding, we headed back home for pizza, presents, and cake. Thanks to my mom for making the cake, Emily loved it!!!

Our Valentines day was a day of love for sure!!! We had pink strawberry nutella crepes with whipped cream for breakfast!!! Yummo!!! Jason brought each girl a red rose home that morning, and little girls just love getting flowers!!! Grandma and Grandpa Mc sent lots of goodies for all th kids, Grandpa Stockwell gave them treats, and Grandma Stockwell spoiled them with presents too. On top of the little treats we gave them they were super spoiled kiddos. That night there was a knock on the door and Jason said oh good your present is here. I really figured it was flowers, which I wouldn't complain about, but oh no, it was 2 delivery men bringing in 3 brand new dressers!!! Just what we needed!! He had had them ordered since before Christmas! What a guy!!! Thanks again babe, they are absolutly perfect!!!

The boys are now in wrestling. They practice 2x a week and the matches will start next month. Both are doing really well, and it's so good to see them get some physical activity!! (Plus they sleep better at night, which mommy luvs!!!!)

So that about wraps up life in this house for now. I'm praying the camera shows up soon!!!

Brothers....

Today I took the kids to get ice cream after we picked up Jackson from school. While they were sitting at the bar happily licking their swirl cones I get the pleasure of hearing.....

"Jackson, I think you're the best brother in the whole wide world."
"Well Kaden, I think you're the best brother in the whole wide world"

They make my heart melt sometimes..... These are the best 2 boys a mom could ask for, and I get to be their lucky mommy!!!!
