First day of School

Kelty and James had there first day of school today. I am so excited for school to be back in. I love summer but as the kids get older it just seems like thier is more fighting then when they are in school. Jesse starts Preschool on the Fri after labor day. Wow what am I going to do with 3 hours by myself. HMMMMMM let me see run errands and most likely sleep yeah.

Ears, Ears, and more

This is Jesse and how I spent most of the ride home from Lehman caves. With Jesse wanting to play with my ears. some kids have thier fingers some have silkie things others have blankets. I have the kid that thinks he can't go to bed without playing with mine or Genes ears. Somedays it is so cute. Other days it can be really annoying. Kids gotta love'em

Lehman caves

Jesse, Casey, James and Kelty. At Lehman caves waiting for the tour of the caves to begin. Doesn't Kelty look happy. If you ever have the chance to take your kids down thier it is really cool. Worth the drive to no mans land to see them. When I say no mans land I mean it. The town of Baker Nevada has maybe 80 people.



Gene and me looking so happy. We are just waiting for the tour to begin.







Gene and Jesse in the caves they are loving it.









This is my kids thinking they are funny. The tour guide told us the only thing we could touch was the floor. So here they are touching the only thing they can. You know kids they aren't happy untill they touch something.

Life

I am just having one of those days. Everything that everyone does is driving me crazy. I am so ready for school to start that I know that the only way I am making it through this weekend, is because we are taking the kids camping. I am excited we are going to Lehman caves out on the Utah Nevada border. Gene went here when he was little and said that it is really cool. So we will see. Gene knows the only way I will camp is in my trailer. With me taking a shower everyday. So I went online and found a place that has full hookups. That makes me very happy. And as the old saying goes if Mamma ain't happy ain't nobody happy. Oh how that is so true with me and my little family. Sorry no pictures today maybe some after the weekend camping.
Have a great weekend and we will be blogging again Sunday night, when I am back to civilization.

Spoiled Rotten Kids........

Today we had a family reunion up in Heber. (For those of you who don't know Heber is about 45 mins from my house). This is the way my kids looked both going and coming. I can't believe how spoiled they are. They think that anytime we get in the car it is time to either play games or watch a movie. Oh well I am still sorta kinda sane. Okay so maybe that is putting it nicely that I am still sane but whatever keeps the kids happy. Right I love this picture of Jess cause he is so inthralled with the movie that he doesn't even know we are in the car. Oh the joys of being a kid nowadays. They have it so easy:)

Blast from the past

I was sitting outside today. When my neighbor walked over and said I bet you know who is in this picture. So when I looked I about died it is from my senior year in high school when I took woodshop.

The story goes that I thought that I was so smart when I was a sophmore to sign up for a class that had no girls just me. I was thinking I was pretty smart. Well then I had to open my big mouth and say something and here is what is the result of that. Six girls in my same woodshop class. Somehow my plan didn't turn out quite as well as I had planned. Oh well the high school life what can I say. Oh yeah I know glad its over with.

People in the picture are Angie Orton, Sydney Carnessecca, Beth Clayton, Me, Makell Leathem, Mary Roberts.

UBIC Days

James and Easton just being boys and doing what they do best. PLAYING








Jesse and The Alien. Sometimes I
wonder about the things my kids
talk my into buying them???????












This is Kelty's best friend Makell. They lived across the street from us. From the time the girls where 1 until they where 8 it was a very sad day when they left. But we are so glad that do kinda live close so we can see them every once in a while.



I took my kids and went to my friends house in Roosevelt this weekend. For what is called UBIC Days. Which stands for Unitah Basin In Celebration. It was really fun. The playing at the park with the all the vendors the parade. And for me and Tracy it would be the staying up until 3 in the morning cause we just can't seem to shut up:) For those of you that no me and Tracy you will so agree on this point. We have had a blast out here. We have kids that are the same age. Ususally they play so well together. Kelty is getting so big that we actually left her and Makell to tend all the younger kids so we could go see Mamma Mia in vernal. We had so much fun with it. Kelty and Makell I don;t think had quite as much fun as we did. Jesse ended up pooping his pants (it was a bad one all up his back). Luckily Troy(Tracy's husband) happened to come home for a few min. before he was of to play with his guy friends and took pity on the girls and changed Jesse. I think I owe Troy big time for that one. So anyway here are a few of the pix that I took this weekend. Gene was nice enough to stay home and work so that me and the kids could play this weekend. Always willing to take one for the team huh Gene.
