Give Away...

My sil sister is having a give away on her blog for some really cut flowers.  Check them out here.

Memorial Day Weekend...

 Over the weekend we took the kids camping at Fremont State Indian Park.  Rick's cousin and his family were able to join us for part of the time.  A grand time was had by all.  Saturday night when we were sitting around the fire, Max looked up and said look at the sparkles in the sky.  It was so cute.

Spencer's daughter Minnie loves to hike and explore.  She had a couple of these really cool pamphlets that showed different animal tracks, flowers, etc. so the kids had fun looking for things around our campsite that were in them.  On Sunday we went over to the museum, checked things out and then went on a little hike.  Minnie, Evelyn and Sam were our guides and I think they would have gone forever if we hadn't stopped them.  The little ones were getting a little pooped.  (The old ones too.)  Max walked the whole way, he was a trooper.  He wanted to do everything himself.

Spencer and Rebecca had to leave Sunday afternoon, so Rick took the kids on more 4 wheeler rides and we played games.  We taught the kids how to play Uno.  Evelyn and Sam were the champs!  We had a great time, but were ready to come home by Monday afternoon.  Max was the first one asleep on the drive home.  Even Sam feel asleep for a little while and he never falls asleep in the truck.  There is a picture of Max asleep on our bed in the slide show.  He got tired of waiting for us to leave Saturday afternoon.  I hope everyone had a great weekend too!

p.s.  There is a really LOVELY picture of Rick.  He asked me to take it and I told him if I did, it would be blogged for all to see and he said ok.

Handy Work...

Earlier this week, we (and I do mean we, I helped) changed out the glass in our back doors.  We didn't want to do shutters on the doors, so we ordered new glass that has the blinds between the pieces.  It was pretty simple to install and looks great!

Measure Up...

Awhile back my sil weighed all of their kids to do a little comparison.  Today as I was putting laundry away the boys followed me into my closet.  This is were we keep the MONSTER of a scale we have and Max loves to get on it and say he is 36.  lol!  So I had the boys get on and called Evelyn down to see where they were really at.  My mom will find this interesting... it's a number thing.

Evelyn... 47 lbs.

Sam... 37 lbs.

Max... 27 lbs.

Funny isn't it!

Sniff. sniff...

"I do myself!".... my baby is growing up.  I've heard that phrase more times then I can count today.

My friend has a food blog and she posted about a Give Away over at Deals to Meals, so I went to check it out.  They are giving away a BOSCH MIXER!!!!  How awesome is that!!  Go check it out.

Crime Fighter...

Fighting crime can be so tiring...

 Monday night was a VERY late night with the picture hanging and all.

What's New...

I realize by the reminders from people, who shall remain nameless (my mom, my sister and mil), that it's been awhile since I blogged.  There really hasn't been anything too exciting going on...

We are finishing our school year, just wrapping things up.  Our new school year will start 17 August and Sam will be joining Evelyn in our school adventures.  Our new school books came yesterday.  I love the UPS man!  He brings us so much fun stuff.

We did some picture hanging last night.  I had been working on getting pictures edited and printed and framed.  They have been all over the living room and we finally got them hung.  I'm still trying to decide if the vision I had in my head is the one that is now on my wall.  I was use to the blank wall.  It took me awhile to like our couch too, after awhile with just an empty room.  I still need to get pictures of my Grandma and Grandpa Allred and new baby Isaac.
