Tinee Girl?

Just for comparison here is Tinee around 6-8 weeks ago
NAP TIME:) I just think these two are going to have the cutest relationship. Hallie is always wanting to sleep with Tinee
This is serious conversation I think she could have found a softer place to sleep though
Playtime? I think Fattie is about as big as Tinees head. She is so brave. Actually Tinee is pretty sweet and I'm pretty sure she lets Fattie win so she will keep playing with her. None of the other dogs will:( Poor Tinee
As you can probably see we no longer have slippers as Tinee has chewed them all up! ERRRR! Even still I really quite like her:)

Fairview in a cabin this time YEA!

Kaylee who is getting old and wanting to hang out with the adults, was so sweet to go outside with Hallie so that bears would not snatch her away forever

Jon and Kellye were nice enough to allow Kamrin to learn how to drive a four wheeler (their four wheeler) Which she was pretty good at I must admit. She rode by herself without a problem.
This is the bear that we had to convince Hallie that it was watching for her to be out without a big person. She is very independant. Her and Tyme are kindred spirits. Not afraid of anything.
I can not believe Tanner. He just seems so old now. Its hard to picture I still want him to be a little boy, out here he is a gun wielding four wheeler.
More of Kamrins driving test

This hammock was one of the very entertaining things at the cabin

Kenya is such a good baby, I didnt hear her cry for more than a couple of minutes total in two days. She is just so cute!!
Hallie and Pa. You can not as a child get away from pa looking for a belly button or armpit to tickle. Here the belly button lost the battle:)
I am not sure what the boys were playing but the had made paper plate weapons and masks. BOYS?? Who knows what they do, certainly not me.
This is the awesome 1970 decore. There was actually this carpet on the ceiling. Take notice of the red velvet lamp in the picture above. It was pretty awesome. Honestly I am not sure why people in the 1970s used drugs when they had carpet like this to work with:)

More hammocking
Isnt Hallie Cute!! Poor Kellye who weighs a little more than Hallie had the good ( or bad usually my) luck to sit in the one of these that wasnt secure, fell and broke her tail bone. Im pretty grateful it wasn't me as I am not sure what that would have done to my back. POOR Kell though
Here's Tyme making his own rabbit ears with Kellye(his mom)
I'm not sure if Hallie is going to be content rinding in the back of a four wheeler for long. She scares me sometimes. She wants to do everything. X-games here she comes!! Probably with Tyme at her side in the boys games:)

BEWARE OF CROTCHROACHES!

YOU THAT WERE HERE KNEW THIS WAS COMING!!
So while we were in Fairview Hallie decided she wanted some hopper hoppers in a bottle. We all went out trying to catch the elusive hopper hopper ( there were millions of them) Kamrin finally got in on it, She thought she would be funny and catch an apple in her net, when she looked at the apple she screamed out AAAAHHHH A CROTCHROACH!! I'm pretty sure I havent laughed that hard since ball-skin. Needless to say it was not a CROTCHROACH but an earwig, which are equally gross to me. Yes we have been watching to much of the new show verminators:)
Tyme and Dyllan and eventually Tymber were so sweet to help Hallie get the Hoppers in her bottle. Wrandi, Kellye and I were not willing to touch the sick things. Hallie was as you see here. SICK I know.
This is Kamrin before the crotchroach, I did not get one of her after as I was laughing to hard and she was running very fast away

Kaylee, Dyllan, Tyme and Hallie catching yet more Hoppers

Elefun

We have been trying to spend less time in front of the TV. I am so bored with TV, and it bugs me that it is what the kids want to do first thing. We have been playing all of these games that poor Hallie can't really play.
This game says for 3 and up. I know Hallie isn't 3 yet but I am telling you this game is not very easy we tried for something Hallie would like, and she does like it, but CAN NOT catch a butterfly in her net. The way to win is to get the most butterflies, Hallie wins almost every time, you will see why in the last picture:)
It is allowed to pick the butterflies up off the ground, which I cant do, I'm hoping that when my back is healed I will be much more awesome at this game, I was pretty bad. As you can see Hallie is picking up all the fallen ones which is apparently a lot. I got a picture of Hallie jumping and it was really cute, alas Kamrins bum was making an appearance as her pants were a little to big and was mortified that I was going to put that on here :( After losing a couple times Kamrin figured out that Hallie who was really just cleaning up had the right idea. I kept telling her that wasn't the point, but that idea was a no-go.

Gloves

I came into the kitchen this morning and Hallie was tickling Nikki. She was so serious about it, it was hilarious. I said to her, "Why are you wearing socks?" She replied"these aren't socks they're my tickling gloves mommy." I expected to hear a duh come out of her mouth. It was pretty funny
She is just so DARN cute!!

First Day of School

I can not believe school started!! It's way to early, not to mention I feel like 3rd grade is getting to be real school. I can't hardly believe Kamrin is already there:( TOO SOOOOON!!
I have no clue what I am going to do without my helper! She has been so sweet to help me after my surgery, while Chris has been working. I just love her so much!!

I'm not sure you can get any cuter with uniform outfits:)

BACK SURGERY

Well for those of you who know me, I wanted to get video of my back surgery for all of you to watch. Including me, I really wanted to see what they were doing. However all the nurses I talked to told me that if they were me they wouldn't even ask my Dr. because he is very busy and might cancel me, so I was quiet, very unlike me, and woke up with no evidence but pain and staples for what I had gone through. Err I really would have liked to seen. I'm sure some of you are grateful:)

Four Wheeling

FAIRVIEW Four Wheeling
These are two butterflies Kamrin found and thought would be an awesome picture

We found a bunch of HUGE mushrooms! These were bigger than my hand flat out.

I love these Giant puffballs and so does my girls Hallie tried so hard to blow and finally asked for help. Niether of them could blow them off :)

This is the big stipid place I high centered my car and had to be towed backwards out of. ERRR

It also doubled for a pretty good fishing hole for Hallie who doesnt get a hook anyway

We were actually trying to get to this lake. Didnt quite make it thanks to my awesome driving skills :(

A week earlier we were able to pass on this trail, there was a big storm the night before we came up, hence the mud piles. It was so much fun the day before my back surgery! Thanks for the invite Wrandi and Scott!!

BREAKING DAWN!!!!

BREAKING DAWN WOO WOO
I know I probably could have found a better picture of the book on line, but I am to lazy.
BREAKING DAWN YEA! YEA! YEA! YEA! Yes I know I am a big nerd, but as I have been sitting around all summer waiting for my back surgery, there has been little I looked forward to and this became an obsession. You would think I would have drawn out reading it for a bit but no I finished in the early afternoon and now have no one to talk to about it:( I love it btw. I made my girls and sweet husband come with me when he got off work at 11 to a party( I guess that is what is was no music, no drinks water, soda, nada, they did have popcorn but I couldn't get Hallie to eat more than one bite.) Kamrin liked the party though:)

This is the girls in their team whoever shirts before we left to pick up my book at 11:30 pm. They were so good to stay up and go. I am so TEAM EDWARD! But I gave Kamrin the choice and she thinks she would like the werewolf better. Crazy I know. All day Hallie asked we going a party now? Then she would do this awesome hands in the air bum shake and go WOO WOO, WOO WOO. It was so darn cute!!

We ran into Brooklyn and Megan Hanks at the party. They had gotten there way before us. Kamrin loves these girls and I'm OK with that. They are honestly the sweetest and best role model I could ask for in older girls. Thanks girls!!

Tinee

How can you not just love this face? Granted she has out grown the other dogs in the space of two weeks, but she is just so darn sweet!
