Kid Comedy

The other day I was getting ready to tuck Megaman in bed when he put his hands on my cheeks and said, "Mom, I'm offering to let me sleep with you!" So cute!

My mom overheard these conversations when she was watching the kids:

Honey Bunch and her cousin Miss R were playing when Megaman came in the room.
MM: Can I play with you guys?
HB: I want to play with Miss R by myself.
MM: I want to play too!
HB: I will give you a quarter to go play somewhere else.

Later that afternoon Megaman and Miss R were playing when Honey Bunch came in.
HB: I want to play, too!
MM: Here's your quarter. Go somewhere else.

I guess the lesson was learned!

Fun In SLC

We made a pit stop to see Doctor's extended family in Salt Lake on the way to and from Boise. They were all such good sports letting us take over everything and make a mess of their homes. Thanks so much guys! Here are some fun pics at Doctor's aunts house. My kids were super spoiled by all of them and had so much fun. You guys are awesome!

Yee-Haw Cowboy!

Megaman found these lovely lady boots in my mom's dress-up clothes and paired them with this hat. Adorable!

Dancing Music

We went to visit my Grandpa and he played some music on his keyboard for us. The kids loved it! They were having a great time dancing to the music. I wanted to record it and take some pics, but the battery in my camera was dead. :( I was able to snatch a couple with my phone, though. Thanks for the visit and the cookies!

Lizards!

Dude was in heaven with all the lizards running around in Idaho. He caught several while we were there, but this one was the cutest by far. It was a tiny baby that we found trying to run into my mom's house. Dude was so nice to "share" his lizard with HB before he let him go.

Thanks!

Princess has been wanting to learn how to crochet for the longest time. Thankfully her aunt was willing to teach her when we were in Boise. Thanks so much! Her American doll now has the best scarf ever.

Cute Cousins

While we were in Boise, Doctor's dad got all the grandkids together for a photo op. Cute, cute, cute!

Ice-Cream Fridays?

Yep! My Dad made Ice-Cream Fridays instead of Sundaes, because of course, it was Friday and not Sunday. Super fun. The best part of this video is my mom's dance at the end!

More makeover pics!

Princess loves to give makeovers. Thanks for being such a good sport, Mom!

Off to the Zoo!

We went to the Boise Zoo on our vacation with cousins, aunts and an uncle. Super fun.








This last one is hilarious because my sister-in-law told everyone to stand on one foot like the crane, but only the adults did it. Love it!

Ninja Park

My sister-in-law told us about this great park in Idaho. We started calling it the ninja park, but I have no idea what it is really called. She invited us and Doctor's sister's family to go with her and her son. It was so fun! I don't know why I didn't take more pictures, must have been having too much fun. The round things on the green poles light up and you have to hit or kick them when they light up to earn points. You can all work together or turn it into a competition. What a great way to get kids to be active!

Pioneer Day

So when we went to church with my mom before Pioneer Day the kids saw a blurb in the bulletin about a Pioneer Day picnic. They got all excited and really wanted to go. The day of the picnic my mom made the observation that in the announcement there was no mention of the need to bring a side or dessert. First red flag. Well, it was supposed to start at 6pm. We got there about 5:55. I jokingly told my parents that I should drive around the block a few times since we were early. When we pulled into the parking lot, we were not alone like I thought we would be. The sheltered picnic spot was almost full already with hungry people. Red flag number two. It was hot that day. Super hot. We waited until about 6:30 for the opening prayer. Then we noticed the food table with it's lack of food. Red flag number 3. Then the line started and we were almost to the back of 600 people. Red flag number 4. We didn't wait for any more red flags, we were headed to SONIC!!!! Yummy slushies and good company. We found out later that the people in charge planned for 250 people and ran out of food right away. YIKES! P.S. I am not blaming anyone! I feel for the people in charge, and I'm glad it wasn't me. Here's some fun pics of the night as well as some from Dairy Queen the night before when we had Miss R with us. Oh, and minus Princess who was at a sleepover with her aunt.

Tribute

While we were in Boise, my dear sweet Grandma passed away. I am grateful that I was able to see her and say my goodbyes in person. She suffered for so long and I am glad that she no longer suffers, yet she is missed. When I think of my grandma I think of ice cold pink lemonade, cookies (especially at Christmas time, yum!), her beautiful clothes that she made herself, the best coasters in the world, and love. Thank you for raising my Dad to be such an amazing guy and for being my Grandma, I love you!

Best Pictures Ever!

Since Princess LOVES to give makeovers, my Dad bought her some MaryKay makeup at the auction. A couple of days later we had my niece, Miss R, over for a sleepover. Her and Honey Bunch got into the makeup. They didn't need any help, they did it all by themselves. LOVE IT!

Look Who's Cooking

My Dad enlisted the help of Princess to make some Rhubarb Crisp. They were adorable! Unfortunately, (or fortunately for my Dad) the kids didn't care for it. Oh well, it made for some awesome pictures. ;-)

Fourth of July

Here's the crew in their4th of July shirts. Gotta love the one Doctor picked for Megaman! (Mischief is my business and business is Good!)

We started out early with a pancake breakfast hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Officer. Yummy pancakes and waffles and good times.



After breakfast we headed out to buy fireworks. It was new territory for me as Doctor always picks out the fireworks. Since he was in Indy, I was on my own. I think I did alright. The guy talked me into buying a box of "Sliders", which I had never heard of. I should have bought several more though, cause they were awesome! You slide your foot over them and they spark. Much more fun than pop-its. Anywho....we headed to a BBQ at another of Doctor's sister's house and then lit off fireworks after. Thanks for the fun, guys!
