Just a little CRAZY

I am a little slow to post. Tuesday my friend Jen and I took the kids to Wheeler Farm. I decided to take my "other" kids Zach, Mike and Issac (my neighbors). They are so much fun but they keep me on my toes. Zach, the oldest was on the hunt for a snake to take home. Luckly, he didn't find one. Just when I thought I was home free he decided to chase down a chicken and catch it. FOR THE LOVE. Then Mike had to hold it too. YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING. Braden was threatened with his life so he didn't join in. Then they found a way to turn on water and spray the chickens and try to spray each other. BOYS! I love 'em though. I forgot Mikala's stroller so I had to carry her around. Won't make that mistake again. Austin just wanted to be with the BIG boys. When did he grow up? Jen, Aly and Amy mean the world to me. I love them. I feel so lucky to have them in my life.

Downtown Pictures

Last Saturday we went Downtown and met my friends The Bertoch family. We shot some pictures of the kids. It was a lot of fun. Budah was tired and very grumpy.GRRR. Oh well. These are some of the pics from that night. Thanks to Jen and Daniel for the smarties that kept Budah more bearable.
Amy and Aly...what beautiful girls

Lions and Tigers and Bears

Today we went to the zoo with my mom and nieces. Rob was off work so he went with us. YEA!!! We had a ton of fun with the kids. It was a GREAT day. So my title doesn't really go with my pictures but we did see at least two of the 3 animals from the title.
Budah was terrified by the elephant as you can see by how he is clinching Robs shirt.


I just thought this was a cool pic but I had to cut out all the peoples heads since we sat in the VERY back.

For the Love

Budah never ceases to amaze me. Yesterday he decided that "baby sisters" clothes were his. So he put on her 6 month pants. What the hello? How does he fit in them? Ok, so both of my kids have tiny waists. They didn't get that from me. :(
I thought it was so funny I wanted to share it. Good Heavens Son.

A trip to the Living Planet Aquarium

Today took a trip to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was a lot of fun to hang out with the kids. We have had Braden all week and it has been great to have him. I think the coolest thing is the fact you can pet the sting rays. I haven't ever done it...I always have a baby in my arms. Maybe one day.

Playing in the front yard

Today we spent the afternoon in the front yard playing T-ball and hand stand competitions. It was fun to just hang out as a family and of course having my other kids (neighbor kids) over was fun as always. I love those kids and I love having them around.

A trip to Wallsburg

So this past weekend we went up to my families property. It is a little farm town up near Deer Creek. My parents bought it when I was 3. I LOVE IT! Anyway, Rob, Budah, Mikala, Braden and I went their with our neighbors and good friends the Nielsen's. We took the 4 wheelers and they took their bikes and wheelers. It was so much fun. We rode up the mountain side. Mikala rode with me and she slept. Budah rode with Rob and yelled WOO WHO the whole ride up. He fell asleep on the way down. We had such a great time. We missed you Jenny. Next time right?
