Sniffies

The last two days and nights Bryson has been without his sniffies. He always had to have his blanket, to sniff, wipe away tears, tickle owies with, and give him comfort. When I took Bryson off his binki he started to care less and less about his siffies. Last sunday we were out in the backyard with the kids and Bryson was outside with his blanket. I woke up monday moring and looked out the window and saw Bryson's blanket outside on the table. He had slept that whole night without it. I have been wanting him off his blanket, but I was a little sad because my baby is growing up.

Happy Together

I want my sisters to know how much I miss them. It is so hard to live so far away and not be with them. They are all growing and their families and children are growing and remembering their Aunt Kathlene less and less. I just want Kelli, Jennifer, Becky and Michele to know how much I love them! I will try harder to keep in touch. I know I haven't been the best big sister but I do care about all of you. Thanks for spending time with me while I was there. I'm glad I got to see all of you!

We have really enjoyed spending time with our family! It's so hard to be so far a way and not see them for long periods of time. Madison fell asleep in her Papa's arms tonight and it made me so happy to see them together.

Treasure Hunt

Travis went to the store and got a bunch of coins and put together a treasure hunt for the kids. Travis made this map, and a bunch of clues to help the kids find each coin. Some coins were harder to find than others, but the kids had fun using the metal detector to find them. The kids found all the coins and they all had a great time.

Off to Utah

We are off to Utah today in our Green Bean. We pray our van wont break down during our travels like last time. Thanks, Aaron and Carrie for taking care of Miah and our house while we are away. We will all have to get together and party when we get back. Goodbye, we will miss everyone!!

The Toilet Monster Strikes Again!

Earlier this month I caught Bryson Trying to stick a pink princess chair in the toilet. He had Ethan's swimming suit and a cup in the toilet too. Yesterday, I was folding laundry and heard Bryson crying. I went to check on him and found him standing on the toilet seat, scrubbing the back of my toilet, with a blue toilet scrubber. The scrubber he was using goes to a toilet wand and the rest of the scrubbers were in the toilet. I tried to wash it off his had but, the cleaner stained his hand blue.

Fun Night with Friends

This will be Ethan's last t-ball game because we are leaving for Utah this weekend. Ethan really loved having Travis coach his team. I'm so happy that Travis could take time out of his busy life to be a t-ball coach. What a Great Dad!

This is me with my friend Jenn and her husband. Jenn always looks so pretty and put together. She sells Cookie Lee jewelery, her link is off to the right hand side of my blog under favorite sites. If anyone wants some nice jewelry, please go and check out her site!

After t-ball Christy, Carrie, and I all went to the Family Fun Center and raced each other on the Fast Track. I love to speed around and go crazy on the track, it's so much fun! After, we got ice cream and visited for while before we all had to go home. I had so much fun Christy! Thank you so much for calling and inviting us to hang out with you.

Pretty Girls!

I have been wanting to make some pretty hair things for my girls and today, I finally did it. I had so much fun doing the girls hair and taking their pictures.

We're Dying to Dye!

I wanted to dye my hair a darker color and I talked Carrie into doing it with me. I had to use four dye boxes and Carrie used three. We had a hard time mixing it and we got it all over our hands and face. I do like how our hair turned out! I had so much fun with Carrie today and I'm glad she spent her day off with me.

Splish Splashin'

While the Hedgpeth's were out buying a new van we watched their kids. They all had so much fun playing in the pool with Travis.

Good News!!

I'm back! I went to check my camera this morning and it worked. I felt so lost without my camera, like Bryson without his Bee Bee. I thought my camera was gone forever. I'm so happy it's working! Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed for me.

Aaron and The China Girls

I had a fun night with the girls last night. We sang, laughed, and just goofed off. Aaron helped us with our nails, and gave us all tattoos (don't worry it's just marker). I love Chinese writing, and because Aaron is an Artist and he loves me, I had him paint writing on my toe nails that mean faith. The tattoo Aaron gave me on my foot said Dream and my wrist said Hope. Thank you Aaron, you are the Best! Not all our friends were with us last night, but we still had fun!

Day Four Without Bee Bee

We are now going on day four with no Binky. Bryson has been having a hard time in the morning and at nap time without his bee bee. Yesterday he grabbed my fingure and led me to the drawer in my kitchen where I used to keep them. I opened the drawer and picked him up to show him that they are gone. I have also found him crouched down on the floor looking under my furniture. It's been so hard on him but I'm hoping that he will forget his Binky soon!

Not My Camera!!!

Today might be the last of my picture posts. Ethan went in my room and Bryson followed right behind him and he threw all kinds of stuff into my toilet, including my camera. My camera has been dunked in water before. When we were in Kauai Travis slipped while going across a stream and the camera went in with him. The chances of my camera recovering again is very slim and I'm very upset! So those few people out there who enjoy my blog I'm sorry. Hopefully my camera will work again very soon.

Go Red Hots!!

I finally went to one of Ethan's tball games. It's not that I don't like going because I love cheering my little man on. I just don't like going when I have Bryson with me, because I have to chase him all over that park and that is not fun at all. Lexie was nice enough to watch him last night. While I was there I met a new friend, she is my age and we seem to have a lot in common. I had fun talking to my new friend Jenn, I hope we can get together again soon! It was such a nice night and I had a good time.

Goodbye Friend!

Bryson said goodbye to his close friend yesterday. Bryson could not sleep, play or leave home without his Binky. When his Binky was lost he would walk around the house crying " Bee Bee... Bee Bee..." until he found his Binky. When he would find his Bee Bee, it was a very happy Reunion! Well, Bryson lost his Binky yesterday morning and we both went around the house calling for it but, it was no where to be found. I decided now would be a great time to get him off it. I told Bryson that his Bee Bee went Bye Bye and he wasn't very happy at all! He continued to call for it but it was gone. I told Travis and the kids that if they find the Binky's they needed to hide them. Yesterday was a very hard day for him and this morning hasn't been easy but Binky is gone and it's not coming back no matter how hard it's going to be on Bryson and me.

Happy 32nd Anniversary!

32 years, go out and do something CRAZY today! We love you two so much and wish you a very Happy Anniversary!

Happy Birthday!

Dad, I miss you so much! I wish I could be there to give you a big hug and kiss and celebrate your birthday with you. I love you!

Night Swimming

We had Aaron and Carrie over yesterday and we had so much fun with them. We decided to be crazy people and go for a late night swim in our freezing cold pool. It was so cold that even Aaron had a hard time getting in, but after a while it was very nice! I think I'm going to spend a lot of time in my pool, especially with how hot It has been here. So if you come to visit and I look like a drowned rat you will know why.
