Happy Birthday Travis!

Travis is 29 years old today! When I asked him what he wanted to do today he told me that he wanted to go on a date of his choice with his wife. Don't I have a wonderful husband. So we are going to a movie that I am not allowed to know anything about. I am excited. He has been monitoring me all morning to make sure that I do not look at the computer to look up movies. He has no trust in me!
Happy Birthday Trav, we love you!

West Yellowstone

We just got back from the cabin this last week. It was amazing! We had so much fun. It was just what the doctor ordered for us; a vaction from our problems and just to go hang out as a family. It was so beautiful up there. It rained most everyday and it was just as green and green could be. Here are a few pics.





This was just playing outside of the cabin everyday. The kids have so much fun with all their cousins.




Scott wanted to be outside the whole time just to see the dogs. He loves them. He would follow the dog everywhere and then just laugh.



This is the lake that is usually one of the kids favorite parts. It was so cold this year that we just got to put our feet in the water. Travis helped Tori build a sand castle and when we left the lake, Tori cried for at least 25 min. cuz she was going to miss her sand castle.





This was probably the first year the kids really enjoyed the park. We did a few small hikes to see the paint pots and some small geyser's. The only problem was that Tori was afraid of the lines on the boardwalks and so Travis or I ended up carrying her the whole way on some parts of the hikes. Scott thought that all the steam from the pots and the geyser's were hot and so the whole time he just kept saying hhhh and waving his hand up and down like it was hot. Caden was very into the science of the park this year and it was fun to teach him about that. We had a great time in the park this year.

It's Amazing

During the NBA finals Travis got on You Tube and showed Caden the highlights of the season and this song plays. Caden has learned to love it and so he requested that this song be the one that everyone hears.

Cousins

We had a lot of fun this past week with cousins from both sides. Brenda and McKenna surprised everyone for a visit. We also went to Idaho to see my family. It was a great time. Here are a few pictures.


Don't you love this picture? It has Scott written all over it.


This is Evie and Tori. They decided to sun bathe after the slip and slide.




My mom built a big sandbox and it was a huge hit.


This is all the cousins on Travis's side! They were not happy about stopping what they were doing to take a picture.

Beautiful Princess

Tori earned 4 dollars and got to pick out a toy at the store. She chose a make up set. It was her very first one and she was just beautiful. I have been the lucky recipient/victim of her make up on a daily basis since then. It is actually really fun to have a girl that is so girly and cute. I love my Tori Annie.

I HATE The Bathroom!

So I hate the bathroom! This morning when I first woke up and went into the bathroom, there was pee all over the place. Caden must have woke up in a frenzy to make a mad dash to the bathroom and with no control what so ever, peed all over the place.
Next, I decided to give the kids a bath and about 10 minuets into the Bath Caden yells, "Mom I pooped in the bathtub." I am thinking, funny haa haa my son is 5 years old! Well lo and behold Caden pooped in the bath tub. My first thought was to yell at him but then I remembered that my son has a diet of Frosted Mini Wheat's as half his diet. Well as you all know, that is a lot of fiber. End of story. So I cleaned that up, which consists of not only getting the poop out, but also cloroxing all the toys, the bath tub ect. it was a long process.
Well I decided after this that I needed to relax with the kids and so we went in the front room and turned on the radio station. Well we were all having a great time until Tori said Damn from the song. Why it had to be this day I have no idea. She has heard her Grandpa say a a lot more choice words for a year now, but why it had to come out today was just my luck. So that was my horrible parent moment for the week.
After this, I was cleaning the kitchen and Tori comes running out of the bathroom naked and says, "Mom, HELP Me." Well I ran in there and the toilet was near overflowing. She had mistaken the Clorox wipes with the flushable wipes. So her buns are super squeaky clean and probably not feeling the best in the world. I had to dig the wipes out and then Caden runs in and tells me that he has to Pee! Are you kidding me? I told him to just go outside or something. He ran off laughing and I still don't know if he was outside peeing. He was smart enough not to come back in.
Well I wish that was the last of my bathroom experience today. My sweet Scott had to pitch in. I found him in the bathroom with the plunger in the toilet soaking wet, and that my friends is why I hate the bathroom!

Happy Birthday Scott!


Our wonderful boy had a Birthday today. One year old; he grew up way too fast. He woke up in the morning and we had all of his toys set up. He thought that they were a lot of fun.

After Scott's morning nap we all went swimming at a fun indoor swimming pool. It was so much fun. He loved it. He liked to stick his mouth in the water just enough to get a little bit. One of two things would happen, he would spit the water out and laugh or he would get a bit too much and then he would choke for the next thirty seconds.


After we got home from swimming we had ourselves a little dinner and then had cake time. It was way cute to see him love his cake so much. Tori and Caden blew out the candle for him and then he dug in.

I did a Choo Choo Train cake for Scott. He like to play in the frosting more than he liked to eat it. Well, I still can't believe that my little boy is one. It has been a great year with that little stinker. We love him lots!
