Safety

My kids are sooooooooooo lucky, they have the greatest grandparents, aunts. uncles, and cousins. I don't talk about them much on here because we don't get to see them much. Although I know we are exactly where we are supposed to be and loving the experiences we are having I am always a little touched when we go home and I see how much my children are LOVED! While visiting Family this time we had a HUGE baby shower for Swifty's oldest brother and his wife. For a small moment during the party I lost track of my two biggest children (who do not love big crowds especially big crowds full of big people that they do not know). Lucky for them they were saved by Swifty's youngest brother. Just a moment from when my search for them began it ended with this picture.

Thanks Uncle Boy for saving us and finding WALDO!

Aviation Museum

We have a quaint little airplane museum here and lucky for us admission is free during National Aviation week. Buster was ticked that I wanted a picture with him and Hieselt. I'm glad I didn't pay because Buster only wanted to eat his PB&J and Hieselt was happy sitting in this wooden airplane! In fact I'm not even sure if we saw the whole museum

Home bodies

AHHHHHHHHHHHH! I always think I am NOT a home body my family is. I have to say I love days or moments like this at HOME more than anything. Times that make me feel content and happy. Times that I know this is what life is supposed to be.

creek labor day

On Labor Day we had a BBQ with some friends from our ward at this great little park. It had a fantastic little creek that the kids thoroughly enjoyed as you can see. I don't love heiselt more he is just the only kid that hasn't learn to duck or run when mom has the camera :)

black and orange

Nope we didn't dress up for Halloween 2 Months early

The elementary school celebrates the High schools school spirit day. WEIRD HUH!?

I was impressed that on a Whim we had orange and black to wear

Playgroup

If you lived where we live this may be what you would do for playgroup

Drive 10 minutes through a typical suburban city

continue the drive for 8 more minutes through a long winding foresty road

Listen to the boys sing in the back of the car

Try not to think about how sad it is that Swifty has yet to be able to come to our beach

Try not to think about the fact that KB is going to be very upset to know she went to school and we went to the BEACH

Park

Get out of the Car

put on Sunscreen, swim diaper on baby Hieselt (who really is not a baby anymore), make sure we have a camera

walk down the sidewalk

run in the sand get to the water and. . .

STOP!

Come back to the bag and get your floaties
If your a toddler with kind of scrawny arms and a big brother that thinks once you have floaties on you know how to swim so Moms excuse that she needs to stay close to you wont work you for go the floaties and run straight in the water only once you see a ball that needs rescuing of course

Once your in you love the water and even dare to jump, run, and sit in it

of course you will get board and will find a watering can to fill with water

which wold mean that you would need to dump it out and let your mom take her token picture, with 1970 quality lighting, of you dumping it ( wherever there is water and a bucket this is the only shot you can get of Buster)

Of course you will be very sad when it is time to put the watering can and the ball in the bag and go home
pack up, tag team with other moms so you can get your stuff to the car and let the kids play in the water a little longer.
chase the little ones away from the water more than 3 times in order to get them going the right way
Change into real diapers and clothes in the car and fall asleep on the way home
