Water Slide With The Dunn's

Becky and her kids Adam, Liz & JP came over to play on the water silde. We have been trying to get together all summer long. We had a blast. I don't think that Jayden cares much for the slide. Thanks Becky the kids had a blast we will have to do that again sometime.

 
 
 
 

Jordan's New Bed!

We just got the boys new bunck beds about a month ago. Well tonight when I was going into there room to get there PJ I saw wood chips all over the bed and the floor. I was think that they must of been out side playing and came in with them on them. That was until I got a better look at them. So I am surching the bed trying to see were this came from. I look on the top bunk and this is what I see. I had a babysiter today so when Jordan was supose to be laying down for quite time this is what he did enstead. I was not a very happy mom. I probablly got a litte to made cause when I was laying down with him he asked me if we still loved him. How sad. I said of course we were just not happy with what he did to his bed. The pour kid is sleeping on the floor tonight.

Teter Toter

I was watch my friend two older kids while she was at the dr and the boys wanted to go out side and play on the teter toter. Of course Jayden & Talon couldn't get on by there selfs so I was having to help them. One would get on and the other would get off. When Jordan got on the boys just looked at me like help please!

 

 

 

 

The kids were going crazy on sunday being in side all day and I was trying to work on my scrapbook pages for my club. They want to go out side, well the next thing I know Kayley is yell at me to come out side and take a picture of them. Jayden was getting a kick out of it. I think Kayley got hit the head once or twice. The Sundays the Richard work I just want to go crazy the kids get so sick of being in side and all I want to do is just relax and not wory about anything like the house. I regrete that on Monday.

Making Scrumptious Minted Brownies

 

 

 

Jordan loves to make treats. He wants to make them everyday. If we did that I would be huge, cause I love to eat treats. I would rather eat that instead of the health stuff.

The kids love to play out side in the water. The kids were jumping and wanted me to take pictures of them.

Fun In The Back Yard

 

 

 

 

After the parada we all went back to my parents house and decide to play out side on the slide. The slide has seen four summers and it just won't hold the big people any more. The kids had fun. Jayden stayed away. He dosen't like to get splashed. Thanks mom & dad for a great weekend. We love you guys.

Fun In Panaca!
