Retts Birthday

I know, I know. His birthday was a long time ago! But with all the summer fun we've been having, there's been no time! So here it is!
He wanted a Spiderman cake so Sid and me made him a red and blue swirled cake! And he got a Transformers light up scooter! Perfect for my little man!

Camping part 2

Somehow these pics didnt get on my last post. . .

A Birthday and a Camping Trip

For Cole's birthday this year, we talked him into going camping because Dale is going to be out of town for pretty much the rest of the summer. :( and we wanted to take the scamper out for the first time! (yes, i know its been a whole year and we haven't taken it out once. Were beginner campers!) So we went Friday afternoon untill Sunday Morning!The best part for the boys was probably shooting the powerade bottles with water in them! Our own ol' faithfull! Oh and dont forget the dirt! What boy doesn't like that?!

Lisa and Emily stayed both nights, and Kyle and Serene and their family came up for roastin hotdogs friday night! Now on to the Birthday Boy! He requested a Strawberry pie this year, so I gave it a shot! Turned out delicious if i do say so myself! Make a wish my 10 year old!

Oh and what would camping be without rock painting?! Like the paint in the ear look?

Rett

Rett can ride a two wheeler!! Here's the story. . . Me and Sid went to get our haircuts. Our hairdresser has a little boy just a little younger than Rett. He knows how to ride a two wheeler. So Rett hopped on the little bike that the boy has and I gave him a little push and away he went! Not even a crash!! And it was even on the grass! So we went home and took off the training wheels on Rett's bike and he loves it! My little kindergartner is growing up!

Sorry! Its sideways! Just turn your head, you'll be alright! :)

Breckenridge, Colorado!

For Memorial Day weekend, Grandpa and Grandma Anderson invited us to their time share condo they have in Breckenridge, Colorado! How could we pass up an offer like that?! So away we went! For a drive that was supposed to be 6 hours long, it turned out to be a 8 hour one. Why do you ask? Where to start?. . .First, I have 3 kids. Second, Rett barfed. Twice. First time, all over himself and his carseat. So we pulled up next to Wendy's drive through. There was a worker over there standing by a hose. So Dale went over and asked him if we could use it to spray Rett down. He said he would go ask the manager. While we waited for the worker to come back, I was stripping Rett down. He says to me "Mom! Do I have to? Everyone can see me!" (because we were by the drive through). So. Here comes the worker. He says to Dale, "No you can't use our hose." So here I am trying to wipe him down with Lysol wipes! Not working - believe it or not! So Dale and I were like "this is ridiculous." Dale goes in and talks to the manager and she finally says yes. So we spray everything off and strap the carseat on the back with the little motorcycle! How white trash can you get?! Then he barfs again. This time luckily in a bag! But between all the barfing, it puts our trip back 2 hours! We are not the road trip kind of family! :)

Alivia just loved Sid!
And Leah and Cole were buddies!

What did we do while we were there? Played cards and more cards!

Oh yeah. We tried to relax in the hot tub, but with the boys, that is not possible! Unless you like being splashed in the face!

Sid and the rock bridge!

NOT TO WORRY! MORE PICS TO COME!

Who Knew!

Who knew that just a simple piece of paper could bring so much fun! Let me explain. . . Paper airplanes are the rage at our house right now. We look them up on the internet, check out books at the library, and make some up! We even have races in the kitchen. Who can go the highest, farthest, do the most loops, and who can hit a target the best! (its usually eachother as the targets! ) Even Dale and me enjoy the fun! Suprising I know! Oh and if you put a paperclip on the top, it makes if fly better AND it hurts the enemy! (not to bad though! :))
