Good times

Some lady came over to our house and was chastising me and my children, She kept saying call me Nanny, but uh that's weird. scroll down and you will see that she then decided that she thought.......

........that my dad was a handson buck and wanted to sway him to her ways. By the looks of it Dad is on the fence, he doesn't know what to do. In the end he did not give into her persuasiveness.

When I was little my sisters would send all of us on a search to go and get all of the pillows and blankets and cushions we could find. Then we would make a huge pile and then we could go for a ride. We could sit on thier feet and then they would launch us into the air soaring until we landed purposfully onto the mound. We only did this when my parents were gone, because mom and dad had like 20 pillows on their bed and we needed them to protect our bums and there was no way they would let us use them otherwise.

Nancy had never done it before so I taught her and here she is catching on like a pro.

So here are some pictures of my beautiful Krsiten. She is a handfull but I love her. Below is a video of her with my Dad. He brought home some bubbles one night after he got off of work. He took them outside and blew them with the girls. I just love it that my girls are able to spend time with my parents. They have 25 grandkids and all of them but my two girls live far away from them. I did not know my grandmothers at all, and my grandpas, I do not remember very well. I am so glad that my kids get to build memories with their grandparents, and that they know that my parents love them.

How can you not think that she is so cute, but look at those eyes, she can be trouble.

Random Pictures

These two pictures were taken at the childrens museum about a month ago. This is the girls at the digging center. They love this station.

These are some pictures that Nan took with my camera right before we left for church one Sunday. I love these pictures.

Best Friends!!!

Me and my girls

Just a picture of the girls and I. We were in town for the day and waiting in the car goofing around. I love Kristen's cheesy smile. I love my girls, they are the best. We have fun together, and they keep me going strong.

Arrr...another FHE!

So last Thursday my sister Nancy brought home treasure maps from school for Baili and Kristen and ever since they've been talking of going on a treasure hunt. Well, once Dad got word of this he the creative cogs in his head started turning....and today was the great hunt. After dinner, Dad told the girls that new treasure maps had been mailed to our house telling of a buried treasure, and of course, they were all ears. Mom started speaking like a pirate and Baili said, "Mom! Grandma can speak pirate!" Haha! Here's the beginning of the hunt.

The first clue on Kristen's map was to head to the right into the covered garage. They're pointing the way

Here's Kristen leading the way into the backyard to her treasure

The map said "head along the Border Fence" so here we are walking under the tree passage.

Yay, Kristen found her Treasure! X marks the spot!

Now, on to Baili's Treasure, the map said to walk towards the tree where we swing.

After a few more clues, she found it! But how do we reach it...?

Grandpa to the Rescue!

The girls and their treasure

Before we opened the treasure bags, Dad asked the girls what sorts of treasures they'd find inside. They promptly answered "Gold! Cookies! Cupcakes!"

They found some beautiful emeralds and Reese's cups! Baili shared her Reese's with everyone.
