Under the C's

My kids seriously live in the water. What a blast to have a pool!! The kids have so much fun and they do the funniest things, I think water really makes them crazy!! But I know one things is for sure it defintely wears them out, they sure sleep great when they have swam for the day. Conner and Colton thought it would be cool to put this fun Pool Party sign under the water and then , Conner thought it would be even more fun to go under water himself. I wonder if I ever thought of these crazy ideas when I was a kid, if you talk to my brother Brian, I am sure he would have something to say about that!!!
So if anyone wants to come over for a pool party, there is not much more swimming time left!!! Come on over and join in the crazy fun.

"My Missionaries"

Well this is the funniest story about Cade and his suit. When I was a kid , I remember this story like it was yesterday. But my little brother Stevie loved going to church and he would get so proud of wearing his light powdered blue suit. I have a pictue of him, so when I find it I will post it, it is just the best.
Well anyway, I don't know why but I have never got my boys a suit, probably because they were so expensive or something. But I went to the DI just recently and found this little suit that would fit Cade so I had to buy it, not to mention it was only $2.00. So when I brought it home, Cade just about had a heart attack. He wanted to wear that suit to Bed he was so excited. So when church came , I put that suit on him and his tie and he said where are my scriptures, so I had to get him his sriptures. And he was set, he was so happy and I just had to take a picture of him. And it totally reminded me of my little brother Stevie. And now Colton and Conner are mad because they never had a suit. I need to work on that one. But these are my boys but most importantly - My missionaries!!!

The Ben--inator Strikes again

The things to deal with, when you have a teenage daughter!
The other day their was a very cute boy that came to our door and asked if Caitlin was here, well is just so happened that Ben answered the door. And the story went something like this....... he answered the door and the kid asked for Caitlin and Ben asked him for his ID. The kid got a little nervous and pulled out his wallet and gave Ben his ID, then Ben politely said thanks and shut the door on him. Then he proceeded to take the ID and go downstairs where Cailtin was and asked Caitlin if he knew who this kid was, and she said yes, Why!!! Ben told Caitlin, oh nothing, it is not important. Then Ben came back upstairs and opened up the front door again and gave the kid his ID back and said thanks and you have a great day!! That was IT!! Holy cow I was so embarrassed, I couldn't believe he did that. But it was hilarious. Caitlin said later the next day, that the kid said, Man your dad is scary , I don't know if I want to come to your house again. And the funny thing is ever since Caitlin was born, Ben would always say, he is going to have to get a shotgun for when Caitlin starts enter into the dating scene. Well look honey all you have to do is ask for their ID and you will never see them again!!! Ha-Ha!!

Too Much Fun!

Lemon Drop Shakes!

Okay I just have to share this with you. If you like lemons, then you will LOVE this shake. My cheeks are hurting just thinking about this!!! Here is the recipe...
1/2 small lemon.......2 tbsp. crushed lemon drop candies..........1 tbsp. sugar......1 quart vanilla ice cream........1 1/2 cups lemondade..... Rub the rim of your serving glass/cup with one lemon slice. In a shallow dish combine crushed lemon drops and sugar; dip glass/cup rims in mixture, set aside. In a blender combine ice cream and lemonade. Cover and blend until smooth. Pour ice cream mixtures into glass/cup. Top with remaining lemon slices. Makes 6 servings. Holy cow this is the most yummiest thing in the world. Hope you like it.

Bad Addiction!!

Okay so this is the most exciting thing in the world!!! For Young Womens we decided to make a back to school book for our activity. Well I had to have a display for the girls to look at , so I attempted to make one. This is it the final product, Camryn was so happy that I made it for her. All I did was cover a composition notebook with scrapbook paper and added some ribbon and a jean pocket for her scissors and pencil. I think the girls had a great time doing all the crafty things that they do. I was really impressed with them and their creativeness!! I had a good time and now I am addicted, I need to make more of these.

Wax on , Wax off! Youth Conference '07

What an incredible weekand I had with the youth in our ward. We went up to Show Low to a interesting ranch full of wild horses from the Snowy River! The weekand was filled with fun, exciting, wet and hard activities. I couldn't decide what was funner, they were all amazing. There were some good times and fun friends to hang out with. I went canoeing, rock climbing, and repelling. Now if I could just wakeboard I would be happy!! I had a great time hanging out with my kids, it was fun to have Colton, Caitlin and Conner all there with me. I usually just have Caitlin with me because of Girls Camp, but I got to experience dealing with the boys. Fun!! Thank you Conner for saving me from a broken Canoe!! I hope the kids enjoyed it as much as I did.

Back to School , Back to Reality!

Well School is Back in Session!!! I actually miss all the commotion! But I really love having a schedule and knowing what I am doing during the day. Colton and Caitlin have their first hour together , which is Spanish. They are so funny, they wished that their dad would have taught them spanish growing up. They said it would have been very helpful to them in passing this class!! To bad Dad didn't even grow up speaking spanish!! Conner and Cam are loving their new school. Conner is making lots of new friends even friends of the opposite sex (which I am freaking out about!!) I don't know why! I have girls calling the house a couple times a day, and he gets mad if he misses a call! It is so funny. And lovely Camryn is having a great time in 2nd grade, she has a little girl in her class named Emma, and they WERE sitting by each other until this week, the teacher said that they talked to much. So now she is sitting in between two boys!! Yuck, Camryn Says! And Cade started Preschool with Ms. Nikkii and the first day , I told him I was going to go and leave him there, and he told me Okay, go already, I'm good!!! So I think he will have a great time. Especially because his good buddy Paige is in his class. He really likes her, and he said , Mom she is the only cool kid at my school!! So anyway everyone is happy and back on schedule. It is going to be a great Year!!!
