Ward campout 2014

These two were SO excited when we picked them up from school.

We picked up Sonic for lunch and Subway for the cooler to eat later that night.

Kaylee was SUPER excited when the tent was all set up.

IMG_7540Jon of course brought his planes. They were a hit.

Kaylee and I went on several nature walks and just chatted. Her request. I'm gonna miss this in a few years.

The campground was small so we were able to let the kiddos just roam free while keeping them in our sights. SO nice for them and us.

This cutie pie came to visit us during the rainstorm that drenched us. We love Kyle. He is the funniest kid.

During the rainstorm Kyle's grandpa opened up his fithwheel for all the kids to watch Planes. Kaylee and Regan where the only ones that stayed for the whole movie. Jon and I caught the tail end of it after the storm.

The littles built this rock wall and decorated it. It kept the busy for a LONG time.

We were the last family at the campsite. Kaylee REALLY wanted to go on a long family hike. So we did.

The kids tried so hard to climb up this tree, but they needed a bit of help. So I decided that I'd help my shorties out a bit.

This campout ended much better that our last one. No puking and no vehicles on fire. Everyone had fun. Yea!

First day of school 2014

We woke up super early to make bacon and pancakes and blast Pandora on the TV to wake up our not morning people kids. So they had a dance party while we got breakfast cooked up.

IMG_7451 IMG_7452After they danced themselves awake they got dressed and sat down to eat a hot breakfast. I am not a morning person at all. So this was pretty much a one time deal. Cereal and milk, or a granola bar to go are our usual school breakfast options. Sometimes on Fridays they get a poptart….. And they mostly help themselves. This is why I bulk batch pancakes and muffins. They freeze well and it's just 30 seconds in the microwave and then they get a hot breakfast.   IMG_7453 IMG_7472Jon telecommutes on Thursdays, and since the first day of school was a Thursday he was able to go with us. IMG_7474Kaylee got dropped off at the play gound and was not really into goodbyes this year. SO this last minute adjustment of her backpack was all I got. 🙁 IMG_7475She paused long enough to get a fast picture with Jon and then was off in the blink of an eye. It was a happy/sad moment for us. IMG_7476We got a few more/better shots with Regan. He was JUST as excited as Kaylee. IMG_7477 IMG_7479 IMG_7482We only managed one quick picture in the class room before he was off exploring. IMG_7732The next day I realized I didn't get pictures of their backpacks. Regan got TNMNT and loves it. Click and buy. Delivered to our door. I may be addicted to online shopping…. His backpack was SO so so easy. 20 minutes of snuggle time while looking online with him for his bag. Perfect. IMG_7743Kaylee was VERY specific on what she wanted. Pink. With a pink Wonder Woman, and silver stars. WHAT?! When I told her I didn't think they made pink WW backpacks she assured me that that was fine since she knew I could just make one for her. WHAT!?!?!

I spent 5 hours hunting down a pink WW patch that was big enough. FIVE HOURS! She has not a clue how much I love her. I bought a plain pink backpack and silver star patches and sewed them on the bag. She was beyond thrilled and very grateful. I really love how unique it is. Just like Kaylee. IMG_7745

Cousin sleepover

We had most of the cousins come over and party/sleep. These boys cracked me up driving home. They were SO tired. The little girls all piled into Shannon's van and we got the little boys. The big boys stayed at Jake's house. The big girls went to Shannon's. We got all the littles. SO so FUN!
