Mrs. Melissa.

Both kids did so good today, getting up, and getting ready! They were both so excited to go and had so fun. Austin's got a lot of fun activities lined up for the year, and I can't wait to be part of them. They do field trips on Thursdays and I'm sure Garrett will love to go help out! Bring on School Year 2012-13!!

Nebraska!!

WOW!! Nebraska was a LONG, but VERY FUN trip!! We left on Thursday morning and made it to our destination on Friday Afternoon. A very long time to be in the car, but the kids did AWESOME!! (Seriously though what did you parents do without the DVD player!!) Stopped at Fort Cody and the Archway Museum along the way to get a little history in. The kids had a great time. Meet our Aunt Rebecca and Robert for dinner at Red Lobster, YUM, and then headed back to their house where the kids ran and ran and threw grass at each other! Saturday was the big party and another hour drive to surprise Great Grandma for her 75th birthday. What a surprise it was. She had no idea that we were coming!! Spent the afternoon meeting new family and catching up with the ones we have missed. Took some pictures of my beautiful sister and I. And back to Aunt Rebecca's for a BBQ! What a blessed day!! Sunday was spent shopping, more visiting, and swimming at the hotel. Monday we headed home, realizing that we weren't gonna make the trip in one day. Monday night had dinner in Rock Springs, WY where we had the best steak dinner I've had in awhile (at a restaurant of course, my man can cook!!) Made it home Tuesday afternoon. So happy to be home. Wednesday went fishing with Papa and Uncle Cody. Had fun catching little catfish. Hopefully we can go back when they grow up so we can eat them! The kids loved reeling the little ones in!! So glad we went to Nebraska and that I was able to have some one on one time with my daddy, sister, and brother.

Beautiful

 We have had some beautiful sunsets out here lately. Usually I miss them or are too lazy to get the camera out, but this one caught my eye! I love the look of glow in the clouds! Thank you God!!

Fun with Water

 Had her two teeth removed yesterday to help the front two grow straighter. She did awesome!!

 Scooter Wash!!

Spent yesterday outside playing in water. Started with a water balloon fight, then moved to hose play, then off to the sprinklers. Made a scooter wash with their sprinkler set using a trash can and the ladder. Hey whatever works right!! They loved it and had a blast. Madison had two teeth removed and is such a trooper. She did awesome then and is feeling great today! OH and check out the new haircuts!!
