So Fun!

Today we went to Oak Creek Canyon and played at the stream... it is so fun to go and do this stuff and I am so glad that I have had the time this summer!! Jack threw rocks the entire time and Abbie and I played mermaids(suprise??)... it was really fun and we are going to miss coming down here when we move!!

Confusion

I just wanted to post this conversation I had with Abbie , or I will forget it...

Abbie "Mom did you know we're actually 'sisters?"
Me "no we aren't I'm your mother
Abbie " No, were sisters and me and taylor, were cousins and sisters... isn't that cool?"
Me "????" at this point I figure she's just being a weird, and I have no idea what she is talking about
Abbie {2 hours later} "and Mom, me and Jack, he's my brother and my sister too"
Me "what????"

And then my mom tells me that in church yesterday they learned that we are all heavenly brother and sisters and that is why at chruch we say "sister so and so" anyway... Miss Abbie didn't quite catch the brother part and she is obviously confused about being sisters with her cousins... but how do I explain it now?? she's so sure of herself?!

4th of July

I love the 4th of July in Eagar... I don't think there is anywhere else in the world that is more fun for the 4th. It was so fun and relaxing. It's my moms favorite holiday and she goes all out!!! Seriously, what could possibly be better than....parades... ice cream... water slides... bon fires...pink marshmallows...fire crackers... cousins... family...I'm so Glad that my kids will have these great memories and that my parents still live in a small town!!!

Lazy Summer Days

Today we went to Prescott to spend the day with Tess and her kids... what fun!! We just hung out at the pool all day and it was great. Abbie and Jack were super excited to get back into the pool.... I think they were having withdrawls from their week at Little America. Whoever says that girls care more about accessories than boys is very very wrong.... My little Jack is constantly wanting for something to put on... hats, jackets, noculars(binoculars) and the latest is swim goggles!!

GO***FIGHT***WIN***

Girls after my own heart!!! Look at these cutie pies all ready for mini cheer camp!!! This week all of the girls are at Grammies house for "Grammie Camp" and part of it is cheer camp!! I'm especially excited for Abbie since I went to the same camp when I was little then taught it for 4 years when I was older!!! I'm thinking I still want to be a cheerleader??? hmm.....

Cousins are the best!!!

This week we are all at Grammies house!!! Me and my kidos, Jill and hers, and Brian and his!! We are having so much fun. Jill and I took all the kids accept for Mia and Clayton to see Kung Fu Panda.... we had 5 kids and we thought we were so busy.... that's when we decided that Andrea must have been totally out of her mind having us all in a row.... All of the kids we had with us at the movie were exactly how it was for Andrea when we were little.... Taylor 6, Abbie 5, Avery 4, Max 3, and Jack 2...... How did she so it when it was Brian, Chad, Me, Shane, and Jill??? all in a row just like that!
