Colin's Birthday Festivities

For Colin's birthday, Dave and I took him out to lunch wherever he chose to go. He wanted to go to Fuddruckers. He likes the games there that you can play, especially because mommy can win him some cool stuff out of the claw machines! Haha..



Next, we took him to go see Transformers 2. I wasn't sure that he'd make it through the whole thing, but he did, and sat on the edge of his seat the whole time waiting for everytime they showed Bumblebee. He loves anything to do with cars, and especially cars that turned into big robots..that was right up his alley!





After that, we took him and all the kids to Uncle Kenny's to swim. Since Isaak wasn't going to be here for his birthday, we had birthday cake for him too. Isaak will get his lunch and movie day this weekend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN!!

Colin (a.k.a. Doo) (a.k.a doozy bear) (a.k.a Bugga) (a.k.a doody) is turning 5! (so I guess the nicknames gotta go!) He was born at 10:34pm during a big lighting storm. After a long day of inducing, He finally decided that he had to make an appearance, and the doctor had no time to put up the stirrups, and delivered him right on the bed. I cant believe it has been 5years. Our life has never been the same since. Happy Birthday Colin! I will post his birthday festivities tomorrow!

Kid-Free Camping!

Daves parents invited up up to Mormon Lake this past weekend to have a quiet relaxing time. Boy, after the past two weeks we've had..we needed it! My cousin Christine came over and spent the night with the kids, and Dave and I drove up there to join his parents. I was surprised that it was only a 2 hour drive to get out of this heat. As soon as we got there, Dave and I took off on the quads, and explored the forest. We came across the start of a forest fire, and rode back into town to get the firemen up there. It was pretty sweet, they were totally grateful that we came and got them. It looked like someone dumped their charcoal out of their grill in the middle of the woods, and left. They even left the grill behind! So naturally the coals caught the ground on fire, and it spread out about 10 feet when we found it. I didnt take that many pictures of our trip, but got some.






Guess who had to push him out of this pickle! Boys...*sigh*

A Summer Cool-Off Adventure

My aunt invited us to go with her to the Scottsdale Fairmont Princess Hotel this past weekend. We got a beautiful room (I wish I took pictures of it!)We hung out in the pool and watched a concert. It was a very nice night. The kids had a lot of fun swimming, and playing with everybody. A BIG thank you to my cool Aunt Roxanne for doing this for us.

A Room Fit for a Princess!

Natalie got her own room finally. Earlier that week, she was carrying around a Kohl's magazine that we got in the mail, because it had a picture of this bedroom in it that was pink and decorated so cute. So Dave and I decided to surprise her with a pink room. We went to Home Depot and got the paint, and spent that night painting until it was done. It is VERY pink! It glows down the hallway! So with her pink room, she needed a sheet/comforter set for her bed. We took her to go pick one out, and she picked a (big surprise) Tinkerbell one. I still have to hang her pictures up on the walls, but you can get the idea of just how pink her room is!

Jakob's Blanket

Jakob has had this raggety old blanket since he was brand new. He wont let me toss it, and he sleeps with it every night. We poke fun of him about it, but he doesnt care. He loves his blankie! Hahaha..

Kya's Spider Bite

Kya got this awful bite, and I am pretty sure it looks like a black widow bite. We had to put a t-shirt on her to make her stop itching it.
