There was this one time...

we took a trip up North to the Turner cabin!!!!

 The kids played hard and built some sort of fort.

 It got stormy and hailed on us!

 The girls swang (is that a word) on the swing set.

And we went on this awesome nature walk where Kamber fell and scraped up her nose real good.

It was so much fun and we can't wait to go back!

Beating the Heat!

This weekend we decided to head up North to some nicer weather.

It was so nice!

80's during the day and 60's at night.

PERFECT!

 All the kids took turns riding with grandma.

Every time the quad started up all the kids

would go running for a turn.

 These two cute girls are 2 weeks apart.

 They enjoyed playing with each other.

More like Kamber sitting on Jane.

And the two of them jacking each others toys.

 We did alot of chillin'....

 being crazy, drinkin' soda, and eating junk...

 chillin' some more...

 being cute...

 standing and trying to walk...

 playing games...

 and more games...

 We took Kamber on her first quad ride in the woods.

She wasn't too sure.

Later we took her on the Artic Cat and she fell asleep.

A bumpy road must be a substitute for a rocking chair.

 The kids went on lots of Artic Cat rides.

Troy also taught them how to drive it.

Uncles are good for that sort of stuff!

 Abby fell asleep after a long afternoon of picking flowers.
Rough job being so cute, but someone gots to do it!

 And Hannah...what's there to say about someone so stinking cute?!?!

 Bree was the funniest little girl!

A pistol, but entertaining for sure!

 We gave her some M&M's.

I think she liked them!

 Putting out the camp fire.

We DID NOT want to be responsible for another forest fire here.

Up in Eager a few weeks ago there was a horrible fire that burned thousands of acres, took homes, and evacuated many families.

Lil' miss just being sassy.

For the most part she did pretty well.

Naps were a little rough.

Had to let her cry till she eventually layed down and slept.

She slept all night till 7am both mornings.

We brought a big blanket for her to play on and

she mostly stayed on it.

When she'd get off she realized the dirt and rocks hurt her knees.

By the last day she didn't care too much and got off and played in the dirt and ate sticks.

She found a tree branch and started peeling the bark off it.

Needless to say, we had a blast!
Troy's little family is moving to Utah.

This was a last hurrah before they leave.

It was a success!

We love camping, especially with our family.

These are fun memories for us and especially the kids.

Being together is the best place to be!

Cheesy, I know, but it's true!

We're gonna miss them, but now we have an excuse to hit up Utah in the future.

Hope they're ready for visitors!!!

First Family Outing

 Daddy and Kamber

 Rocky giving the kids rides on the Artic Cat.

 All the turds around the fire.

 Mama and Kamber gettin' toasty warm.

Kamber chillaxin' in her Boppy.

We went on our first real camping trip over the weekend.

It wasn't too bad sleeping in our trailer with the babe.

Thank goodness for a heater and shelter from the wind.

Though Kamber's cheeks and Kylee's hands got real chapped.

We always have a good time with family and friends eating dutch oven biscuits, corn bread, and chili, playing chicken foot, roasting mallows, and making fun memories.

Breaking her in!

Took the babe to Queen Valley Friday night.

She's already a natural at this camping thing!

I opted not to stay the night though.

Getting up at 4:30am to feed her in a trailer didn't sound too appealing to me.

So, we came home and got all nice and clean and hung out at our 4:30am feeding, went back to bed, then hung out some more till daddy and the kids got home.

It was nice.

But we can't wait to go back real soon!

Maybe next time we'll get to stay the night too.

I'm totally hoping for her to sleep through the night sooner rather than later...

Would you like fries with that?

Over the weekend we went up North to get out of the heat.

It was just what we needed!

The weather was just what we ordered and we had a whole lotta fun!

Riding dirt bikes, napping, getting dirty on the quad, making forts, cooking breakfast...

Let's go back!

S-More Camping

Let's ride!

No really.

Rocky where is your game face?

That's better!

Let's ride!

We headed out of the heat this weekend.

It was wonderful.

When we drove back into town I started to melt.

We'll be heading back again soon.

Who's with us?

I'm not kidding.

The more the merrier!

Camping---

Please

follow the path...

to our camping adventure!

If you know Todd he loves to create forts and tents...line up stuff...he's very creative that way.

It was pouring down rain so my dad covered the quads.

Todd saw an opportunity to make a tent and ran with it!

He also decided it needed a path from my parents trailer to the entrance of said tent. He didn't care one little bit that he was getting rained on while doing this.

I love his imagination!

One of our favorite things to do while camping is shoot up stuff.

Cans, trees, lids, targets. Endless possibilities.

After years of Jared letting us bum a gun or 2 and ammo off him, Rocky finally got his own.

BAM!

Enjoying the fire.

Gettin' down and dirty!

Ridin' with Bubs.

What a good uncle.

Kylee had a chance to shoot too.

Nothin' like a cutie and a sweet fire arm!

We got the kids a BB gun so they could shoot up stuff too.
They loved it!

Nixon's first trip.
It was so much fun we are going back this weekend.
Thank goodness!
It's freaking HOT here!

Oh yeah!

Can't forget Kylee's battle wound.

While they were on a bear hunt...JK

If you know my Kylee she's ALWAYS eating! How she stays so skinny I'll never know.

She was standing over a bowl of salsa and burned her head on the lantern on top of the table.

It looks worse than the tiny scratch on her chin that she insisted needed a band aid.

She's a weirdo for sure!
