She's A Mover and A Shaker

Olivia Loves to Dance...When ever she hear any music she just can't help herself... She has to stop and shake her bum... Matt caught her in the act, you may get bored but we of course think it's adorable (although we are biased) If your bored it's ok we know her Grandparents will appreciate it...Watch out THIS GIRL HAS MOVES!!!

A Day of Fun

Yesterday We took the kids to Six Flags ... We had a blast Grandma and cousins Grant and Garrette went with us... The boy's were finally big enough to ride the rides.... Brycen really surprised us with the rides he would go on he was too fun. He kept saying "I'm getting Butterflies"

Hayden was finally big enough to ride the big rides .. I would love to show you a picture except every thing he went on went to fast... I couldn't get him in the picture... So you will have to take my word for it he had a good time.

Olivia was crazy about the kiddie rides

She really loved all the characters that walk around she would have to stop and hug and kiss every one....

Over all we had a great day and can't wait till we can do it again... Of course Matt and I need a little time to recover ...

Olivia's Binky

Is there something wrong with this picture?

Yes I am well aware that she is three and still has her Binky....I have tried to go cut the end off, loose them all, make her throw them all away, have the Binky fairy come to take them away, give them to a new baby, and every time I give it back to her... Thank you for all the suggestions I truly have tried every one of them...The girl will just make me crazy till I give it to her.. I know I'm weak but I really have tried I just also need my sanity.... Sometimes I think she will eventually get rid of it . How many kids do you know who go to school with one? Then I worry about her teeth every girl has to have a beautiful smile...She does have one you just can't see it all the time...And imagine the orthodontic bills...(let's not go there) When she starts in her I want My Binky chants even the boy's go running to find it just too shut her up...I am tired of looking for Binkys every nap and bedtime ...That's the only time she is supposed to have have it... So she says shes tired all the time ...(smart girl if you ask me) Once again I'm going to try to get rid of it once and for all ... If you have any suggestions I am still open to them... But if you still see her with it please don't remind me of how I have let her win... I 'm picking my battles... And I will tell you , If you would like to take her and break her of this habit then be my guest... I bet you will bring her back within 30 mins. of her saying... I want my Binky!!!!

Guess Who?

Guess who came to our house?



Last Week

This Week

You Guessed It the TOOTH FAIRY !!! Brycen lost his first tooth last week and the second one today... He can't wait to go to sleep tonight... My baby boy is growing up too fast...

Kid's Say the Darndest Thing's

A few weeks ago Hayden fell and hurt his wrist I took him to the med clinic to have x-ray's (don't you know it always happens on a weekend and when Matt is at work) The Doctor said it was a possible hair line fracture , she would let us know in a few day's .... This is the conversation I over heard yesterday.

Neighbor to Hayden : Hayden how's your wrist I thought you broke it

Hayden to Neighbor: No just a Air Line Fracture

Too cute I couldn't help but bust out laughing along with the neighbor of course he didn't even know what he did...

Camping

When I was growing up my family went camping every summer... When I married Matt he had did the same and we of course thought we should continue the tradition...

Every summer we have taken the kids camping last year was the hardest .Olivia was at the get in to everything stage and of course it was hard to keep her clean ...

The boy's didn't have much to do but ride bikes and that gets old after three day's so we came home early.....

This year was a different story the boy's have discovered fishing

Brycen caught his first fish

I know you can't see it but he didn't care how big it was "it was at least 5lbs and he fought all day to catch it"

Hayden caught a 3lb catfish and he was thrilled

I have heard him tell the story may times and every time it's a pound bigger and took a hour longer to catch than it really did ..Of course I have the pictures to prove it.

We had a great time we all found plenty to do ,Olivia and I did a lot of floating.

The kids did great this year . No whining it's to cold ,what's in the water ,the bathroom stinks... This years camping trip made me look forward to many more years of camping with the kids

Even though were only gone the weekend I'm finding that two night's is enough in the dirt... And not just because I'm a girl even the boy's said " It's so nice to be home and get a shower" . Maybe in a few years we will be able to get a trailer now that would definitely be my kind of camping...

New Blogger

So I have wanted to start a blog for a while now... Every time something happens or the kids say something cute I think see I could have blogged about this... A few months ago I set up a blog page and wouldn't you know it I lost my camera ... You can't blog without pictures ... So thanks to my wonderful husband (and a lot of complaining) he bought me a camera...

So here I am starting my blog and can you believe it I can't think of a thing to write.... I can't think of anything funny the kids did or anything on the list of things I had to blog about.. So bare with me it may be a slow start but my life is pretty fun and I always have a lot going on ...

So if your willing to hang in there on my life's journey's then I'm sure there will be day's to laugh and day's to cry and definitely day's you will say I'm glad that's not my kid...

I want my blog to be about just everyday thing's that I go through . I want something for my children to remember all the fun we have and sometimes hard things we will go through ... My mom always told me "Life is what you make it" and I like to think I've made a good life for myself...


Welcome To Life At MandyLand !!!
