California

CALIFORNIA!!!! Here we come...oh wait Brylee has to go potty. That's right I packed a potty in the van, it helped not having to find a bathroom and by time everybody goes in, your looking at a 30 minute stop. I would suggest this to everyone :) Ok really though lets get going!

We had a barbecue at Aunt Connie and Skips Sunday for Becky and Jon's birthdays!

After barbecuing it was time to go in the hot tub. Hunter wasn't fond of the water so Papa was teaching him how to dance on the fire pit.

Underwood Farm

We spent one day at the farm. The kids had so much fun. Brylee and Jackson got to ride on the ponies. Brylee just wanted feed the pigs carrots, but the were sleeping. So her and Jord fed them to the horses and goats.

Josh, Brylee(not wanting to take a picture), Lisa, Jackson, Connie, Hunter Jordan, Grandma

Beach Time Cousin Heather joined us for some time at the beach. Josh and the kids were having fun trying to catch crabs. Hunter thought he had caught one, it was a rock, but he was way excited.

Last September 11 we loss Josh's grandpa, so went out to see his tomb stone. He was an amazing teacher, so the school planted a tree in his memory outside of his classroom window. We love and miss him!

Heading Home!

I love this picture, so sweet!

Mom and Dad's trip to Wyoming!!!

Last week my parent flew out to visit. They got to stay a week. It went by fast, but we really enjoyed having them here. Here are some pictures from their time here!
Josh's parents were in Missouri visiting Brandon and his family, so we stopped in their house to make sure everything was ok and their freezer and broke. So dad cleaned it out while kids played. Parker, the neighbors grandson came over to play with Hunter.

Everyone love going down to the horses. Jordan has taught Baby to give her a kiss on the cheek then hugs, so cute!

There's nothing like going on a drive and getting ice cream. Hunter knows when we pull into a drive thru that he is getting ice cream. He starts grunting and reaching for the window.

Josh took my dad out to the lake and caught some good size fish. Dad has been out here 3 times now and this is the first time he's been able to catch this good of fish, so he was thrilled.


Since they took a picture with their catch of the day, we thought we would take a picture with ours :) Mom and I got to spend the day getting a pedicure, lunch and some shopping(as much shopping as you can do here, not much) the best part of it was no kids!!! Wow I have a hard time functioning with out distractions. I had a great time with my mom, wish we could do it more often.

Brylee saw a fishing pole on tv a month ago and called grandpa and said "papa I wanna go fishin". So grandpa told her he would take her. So when he got here he went out and let her pick out her "own" pole and was planning on taking her to the river, but she was perfectly content with the pool. So her and grandpa went fishing a lot even if she kept catching the same rubber fish :) She loved it!

We spent the fourth of July at our church's Freedom Fest. When we first got their the wind was so bad it was blowing the kids chair across the parking lot, so the kids thought it was a game. It kept them occupied for a while. It was a lot of fun and looking forward to next year!

Hanging out the the Horses!!!

We had a fun Fathers Day barbecuing at grandma and grandpa's house and of course we went to the horse corals. Brylee had fun helping grandpa with the poop! Can't wait for Jordan to get here. She will be here this Sunday, I'm sure we will be heading straight to the horses when she gets here :)

Missouri Trip

A friend of mine was taking her kids to camp in Missouri recently and asked if we wanted to go with. Of course I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to go see my family. It was a quick trip, but was great to see everyone.

Let the road trip begin!!!

We got to stay the first night with Tracy and her family, wish we could have stayed longer!
Aunt Ashley made it up to St. Louis for a few days, so we had to hit up the water park. I think Grandpa was having more fun than the kids :)

We stayed in St. louis for a few days then headed to Springfield and Bolivar. There we got to see my brother and his family, sister and sister in law and nephew. So much fun!!! It made me really miss being around everyone.

Bath Time!!!

Of course we turn our heads for 1 second and the girls were up to no good tatooing themselves :)

Our last stop was Kirksville. There we got to see Patricia from college and Trina and her family. It was so good to catch up with all of them!

After that we headed back home for a 17 hour car ride. The kids did great! I didn't spring back so quickly, my body was alittle sore for a few days...gotta love getting older :)
