A camping we will go...

We went camping over Memorial weekend and what an adventure it was! We headed up to Yearn's Resovoir Friday afternoon and we had about a 2 hour drive. We finally got up there and were so excited and then noticed that there were a motor home and a trailer stuck in the mud trying to get up where we needed to be. the mud was awful. Trucks and trailers were sliding everywhere. So we didn't even chance it. So back down the mountain we go in hopes we will find some where else to go. We stop at the Palisades campground while our husbands went to see if there was anywhere to go. While they are gone our car window breaks and will not roll up. So the boys get back & I tell Kevyn the window is broke , he says he will fix it later. So we end up being able to buy a spot from a family at the Palisades. We get set up just in time for the rain to come pouring down.While me & Darci are in the trailer our husbands are out in the rain trying to get a fire going on our "little grill" so we can have dinner. Then I remember, we have not fixed our window yet. The car was soaked!! So the boys just thru a tarp over it and fixed it in the morning. Saturday was a pretty good day. It didn't rain to much but it was freezing! W e played at the park, went fishing and melted the road while we cooked dutch oven, it was the best dinner I have had!! That night we were getting kids ready for bed . I stood up on the bed to open the cupboard to get a diaper. The doors are really hard to get open, I couldn't get it to open. So I pulled real hard and smacked myself right in the nose. It hurt so bad I really thought I broke it (i didn't). So it 's about 11:00pm everyone is ready for bed and Addy starts screaming like she never has before. I had no idea what was going on. Darci comes to the rescue and says she is so constipated. So the boys run 20 miles into town to get her some medicine and get back about 12:00 and we were able to get Addy asleep. Then Sunday morning we get up it is beautiful we get all packed up and are ready to pull out and we have a flat tire on the trailer and we have no spare.We got that fixed and then our window broke again. We got that fixed & made it home safely. Even though things were crazy we still had fun and are ready to go again! I forgot to add in the part , when we first got in the trailer and opened the fridge a bottle of soy sauce had broke and went everywhere it stunk like soy sauce bad!The kids waiting so patiently for their dads to get back from trying to find us a camping spot.
So we could not have a camp fire, which sucked because all of our meals we brought needed a fire. So we compromised. We roasted hot dogs on the little grill and did dutch oven on the road, which we melted, oops!
Jarron and Addy hanging out on their little chairs in the freezing cold. Jarron was so cute with Addy. And she wanted to do everything her big cousins were doing.
Here we are all piled in the trailer having our hot chocolate. It was FREEZING! Then we all piled on to the table bed and watched a movie. It was lots of fun.
Addy loved playing at the park! She sat in the wood chips for about an hour & just played, it was great!
Fishing didn't last to long, mostly cause the weather was not to great. It would be nice and sunny for maybe 10, 15 min. and then it would rain again. Poor Jarron got his hook stuck in his finger. And he got his first fish( really his mom)he was jumping up & down he was so excited and then he saw the blood and started crying and screaming. He didn't like that he hurt the fish.
Kevyn and Chris took the kids over to see the ducks. They were coming right up to them, so they came and got some bread to feed them. The kids thought it was so neat! Kevyn would give Addy some bread to give to the ducks but she wanted it just for herself. She popped that bread in her mouth just as fast as Kevyn gave it to her. That's my girl!!

1st haircut

Addy desperately needed a haircut, as you can tell. She did a pretty good job. As long as she had her toilet paper and her q-tips , she didn't move. We just couldn't get her to hold still so we could get an after picture.

Diaper Fun!

Addy's new favorite toy is her diapers! They entertain her for hours. The other night she was putting them on her head and Kevyn was chasing her all around the house. She eventually crashed on the floor, she was so tired. I think she laid there for almost 20 min.

Happy Mother's Day!


HATS OFF TO MOTHER'S
My Mother's job is sometimes hard, and I have heard her say,
"The hours are long, and if I could, I'd like to change the pay."
Her profession has variety, and I will tell you now
About the many hats she wears-and why and when and how.
1. my mommy's a nurse who fixes and patches
all of my hurts and my sores and my scratches.
2. My mother's a chef whi fix each dinner
fit for a king--a blue ribbon winner!
3. My mom's a chauffeur who drives pretty slow
but gets me to the places where I need to go.
4. My mom's a detective, and no one is greater
at getting the truth from me sooner or later.
5. My mommy's a gardner and works really hard,
Planting and weeding and grooming the yard.
6. My mother's a maid-at least that's what she said-
cause she cleans up the house and makes every bed.
7. My mother's an angel-a queen in disguise- who
teaches the gospel with tears in her eyes.
Today take these hats off, and please wear no other.
Let me do the work, to show I LOVE YOU,MOTHER!!
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful mother! She is my best friend!! I love you Mom!!!
I also am blessed with a wonderful mother-in- law ! She is so great, I love you Sandy!!!

Me and my chair

Addy has a little chair for her stuffed animals and instead of putting her animals in it she is always trying to sit in it and gets upset when her little bottom won't fit in it! So we got her a little chair that she can fit in and she loves it!! She will put her animals in their chair and set them next to her and watch T.V. She then has tried to put her animal chair on her chair, and then tries to sit in that. Didn't quite work out that well as you can imagine!

MMMM, Spaghetti O's

Addy loves spaghetti O's, as you can tell they are all over her face!! This is the only food she will eat by spoon. Anything else we feed her by spoon she will not eat, she wants to feed herself with her fingers. So there's not much she will eat.
