All that can be done while nursing.....

Here I am nursing last night at 5:00, all the while......(Khloe just saw the flash and had to look up)

Making cookie dough....

Then letting my kids play with the left over flour in the bag, the front yard.


Making dinner. I put this picture in so my mother in law Annette will see that I do attempt to set the table for dinner. She will however, have a heart attack that I didn't use a table cloth that fit the table ...it's the thought that counts.


I did a load of laundry. Just picture, I had to put all thelaundry in, start it Etc,. with one hand and a baby in the other..NURSING.


We had a great Monday night. We had dinner, and family night. It was hilarious. Cade had the opening prayer... he whispered it because Josh was whispering it in his ear. When Josh told him to say it loud he screamed "Say It Loud!!"

Colton: had the song and he stood on the coffee table and led the music.
Kallie: had the activity. She was playing teacher she handed out paper and pens. She instructed us to draw a picture of Jesus or what we are thankful Jesus did for us. (pretty good huh). Then she made us turn them in with our names on it. Josh forgot his name and got his handed back to be corrected. She walked around like a teacher monitoring our work. (she liked all of them but she kept saying Clolton's is kind of messed up but it's still good. Then she showed them to class.. and said they were great and she liked our work, EXCEPT for colton's she said again it is good except it's kinda messed up...then Colton said "IT ISN"T MESSED UP IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY!!"
Mom: had the lesson, sacrament, and Keeping the Sabbath day holy. and then (thanks to Annette) a great game of Mormon Go Fish.

Dad: had the closing prayer, copied the whole time by Cade.

We are so thankful for the church we belong to and for the opportunity we have to be togther forever. We love you!!!! We miss our vampire boy Gabe.

A GREAT WEEKEND

We had a great weekend... First of all Josh, Brady, and Clint kiaked down the rapids of the Salt River. Jessica (brady's wife) dropped them off at the bridge and they got off the river where it passes the ranch. They had so much fun..Josh almost died (seriously). And Clint had a few rough times, but they were all alright. Very tired. But alive. Here is a picture of Josh and Clint afterwards. Brady must have been out and about, as he wasn't so tired, because HE ONLY FELL OUT TWICE...

Here is Daisy, Brady, Kallie, Josh , and Colton having a turkey shoot. The had a target down the way and had a shooting contest.

This is Me, Kallie, Klhoe, and Cade. We were watching Josh work with a horse in the round pen.











About a month ago, Josh dug out a pond/swimming hole with the backhoe. It has been filling up with water from the house spring. The kids went on the kiaks into the pond, Cade didn't want to go, but he did want to wear the helment. Also, he is so into Kallies old pink hat.........

brady duct taping their life jackets on...

Colton, Daisy, and Kallie in the pond...Josh was throwing big rocks right by them and getting them drenched. About one minute after this, Colton and Daisy were just swimming and Kallie was kiaking all by herself... she didn't want to swim. They spent the rest of the afternoon catching gold fish from the water troughs and transporting them to the pond. Well I should say transporting a goldfish to the pond. Like most Smart fishing trips, they only caught one.







Van made this new hitching post at the barn. It is really cool and I thought Joe would like to see a picture of it, since he hasn't seen it yet. Double click on the picture and you can enlarge it.





. The kids. Somehow I didn't get one single picture of Brady's beautiful wife...so I'll just tell you all about her. She is so pretty and nice. She could be an arm model, her arms are so great, and they are even greater after lugging Khloe around all weekend.... she is the most organized person I've ever met, she is a great mom to Daisy, a great wife (she has to be to put up with B.P.) I could go on and on. (I'll bet she is just wishing I would have taken her picture by now, so I wouldn't have to have spotlighted her.)

Everyone playing horseshoes............................

Kids

TRYING NOT TO BLOG ABOUT CADE.....

Today was the first actually nice, able to play outside day we have had in about 4 months...I looked out the back door of this "no yarded" new but not so cool house, and here was Colton. He is so cute just playing with himself, in the dirt and mud with his horses. I decided to blog about him and Khloe because they haven't really gotten much blog time.....

This is "Birdie Khloe" isn't she so cute and peaceful and chubby. She is getting so fun. I can't believe she is already three months old. She is such a sweet baby and she makes us so happy.

This is our clean toy room. Since we have moved in this house over a month ago, it has been completely trashed up there. I haven't even gone up there. So I cleaned it on Wednesday and took several pictures at all different angles and I have them posted up there. WHen I ask if the cleaned up and they say yep. I say like the pictures look,,they say nope and go back up. I think it is great.

This is Roxy...I'm really trying to give everyone some blog time, She was having major anxiety today trying to patrol and watch all the kids,,Colton was out back, Cade was out front and Kallie was at the neighbors. This literally threw Roxy into a state of confusion. She went from front to back to the neighbors about 200 times. She is the greatest dog ever, she is so protective. Usually only one of them is out of the house at a time, or they are all at the neighbors. When they are at the neighbors she paces on their front porch until the kids are ready to come home and then she walks them home.




SO...I was trying to make this all about everyone except cade, but...I came in from taking Coltons picture and this picture of cade earlier ...and he was screaming "mama got a burger for you" I came to see and he was just so exited that he had a "burger " from out of his nose and onto the glass of the door. He said"see my got it for you mama". Then I took the camera with me tonight to Colton's wrestling practice to take some pictures to blog about. I was talking with Shawn Hunsaker our old branch President, and all of a sudden he took off running from me and I looked over and Cade was at the top (about 15 feet) of the folded up bleachers. So he had crawled up them like a ladder or a rock wall. I just prayed while it seemed like slow motion for Shawn to get to him...please don't let him fall please don't let go..please no one scream at him and scare him..He got him and he was fine. I, however wasn't and I totally forgot to take any pictures, I was just so thankful he was ok. Please keep me in your prayers daily that I can raise this little boy and keep up with him enough to keep him and the people around him safe.
