Camping and Fishing

At the end of July we went camping with Bryan's family. They have this great pond where everybody goes fishing. Bryanna loves it because she can catch so many fish. This year they didn't catch as many because we weren't able to be there the whole time. This year I had surgery on my hand the same week. So we had to take it really slow. Everybody had a good time for the time that we did spend there. Kyle thought it was great to fish with his dad.


Here is my model queen lately she really like to pose whenever I bring out the camera. I think it is really funny. She is getting quite good at fishing. My Grandmom would be so proud of her.

Having a good time with dad. Even though her face tells otherwise.


Getting ready to cast.



Kyle and Abby loved the wagon. They would just there and eat snacks. Sometimes even share them with each other. I am so glad we brought the wagon. It was such a big help. Since I only had one arm.

Sleepover time again

Bryanna loves to have sleepovers it is so much fun for her. This time she had four friends over. They are such cute girls and they had so much fun. We made a big bed on the floor and they had so much fun watching movies, playing games and eating fun treats. It is funny to see the things that Bryanna comes up with. What a funny little girl.

Here they are playing Barbies in Bryanna's room. They get along so well.

Here they are watching a movie and trying to calm down for the night. I only had to remind them a couples time to calm down. I am so grateful that my daughter has found such great friends.

Playing some more games.

Here is the group all together. These girls are so cute and have so much fun together. But lets say I only do sleepovers every month because it is so much fun.................

Kyle's new tricks

Kyle has been picking up on so many new things. His personality is so funny. It makes me laugh at him all the time. He thinks it is funny to playing with the newspaper especially when I am trying to read it. He likes to get your attention and will come take things or hits your leg so you will pay attention. He is such a tease most days. Sometimes Bryanna doesn't know how to deal with it.

Here he is hiding. He thinks if he can't see you, you can't see him, which is funny when you surprise him. Hide and go seek is so fun with him because he laughs so hard.

I love wearing shoes it doesn't matter who's shoes they are. He will wear them. The funny thing is he knows who shoes belong to who. He will take them to the right person. What a smart little thing.


The other day he showed us how to eat corn. I love watching him eat corn on the cob, especially when the cob is so big. What a funny little thing.

Back to school

I am a little slow getting my back to school pictures on. It was a crazy month with my hand being operated on and trying to recover from that. Well my little started 2nd grade I still can't believe that she is that big. She is going up so fast. This picture is of her new friend McCall. They have so much fun together. She is is third grade and Bryanna loves going to school with a friend. Lately she is such a social butterfly. It seems all she wants to do is play.I am so grateful that her friends are so good to her.


Here is our chessy grin face. She is so much fun. I am so glad to have her in my life.

Lately Bryanna thinks it is fun to flip her foot up when I am taking her picture. I think it is really funny. I am sure I did the same thing at that age. She loves school and loves her teacher. She comes home with so many stories. Oh how I am grateful for her all the help she gives me. I couldn't have made it through August without her. She helped me out so much when my hand was hurt. What a great big sister she is.

Summer Time Fun

Bryanna has had a fun summer she is so busy off playing with
friends. She comes up with the funniest things. Bryanna, Zack and Danielle
were playing ninjas. I loved their ninjas outfits. They were such a sight. Bryanna has been such on the go this summer with playing with friends. I love see her having so much fun.

Kyle thinks it is fun when the water comes down the road. He is so funny when
he plays in it. Kyle is such a little boy and it never fails that he is always wet or dirty or both.

One of the many things that Bryanna and her friends like to do is sell things. They sell rocks, water balloons anything they can think of. This is Bryann's friend Mcall. She moved in down the street and they love playing together. Kyle kept stealing the water balloons from them he thought it was great.
This is Kyle's favorite thing to do. He loves to go feed the dogs. He gets the dog
food and he feeds some to the dogs and some to him. Dog food is healthy right. The dogs just eat it right out of his hands. It is so funny to watch.
The kids gave their dad golf clubs for Father's Day. I think Bryanna wanted them for
her as much. They had so much fun playing golf around the house. But beware you better watch out for Kyle he can be deadly with his swing.

Cabin time on the 4th

For the 4th of July we headed to our cabin. I love going up there because it so peaceful
and quiet. The kids had so much fun. My step mother Mary was so cute with the grandchildren. It
is something that I could see my own mother doing and that is why I think it was so neat. There is a pond at the cabin that you can swim in. Mary has worked really hard to get it all cleaned out. While she was clean the top she fell into the pond and then she got all the grandchildren to follow her. It was so cute to see her swimming with them. She also helped the grandchildren get down the rope swing. She showed them how to do it . Bryanna could go so far I couldn't believe it. It is like watching that movie George, George George of Jungle watch out for that tree. The kids would swing right past the tree, but it looked like they were hitting the tree. They had so much fun.




This is my favorite picture of the weekend. He loved these chairs.
He looks so cute just hanging out.

What cute kids. Kyle has to be wherever his sister is.

Helping mom make the salad for the BBQ. It was so yummy.

Trying to catch everyone as they swim.

Kyle's Half Birthday

Since Kyle's birthday is four days after Christmas we decided to celebrate it in the summer when we have more of the funds to do a Birthday party. We had some friends and family over for a water party and we enjoyed pizza. Kyle thought opening presents were so fun. I just love buying toys for my kids. Bryanna was so excited to play with Kyle new toys too. He got some new cars. One of them go by themselves it is his favorite. What a fun day he was so cute.

This is Kyle's new car that he goes around the house. The horn sounds really funny.
He thinks it is so fun. He has figured out that he can put toys inside it which is really
fun for him.

Kyle playing with Abby in the water. He didn't like the idea that I
put him in the water. He likes water but wants to do it on his own. He is
a dare devil when it comes to playgrounds. But is very careful around water. What
a funny kid.

This picture was his idea of playing.

He thought opening presents was so much fun. He didn't want
anybody helping him.
