SOUND OF MUSIC
SO AFTER DOING A WEEK OF NURSERY RHYMES WITH MY PRESCHOOL AND READING ALL THIS RESEARCH ON HOW BENIFICIAL THEY ARE...I DECIDED IT WAS HIGH TIME I INTRODUCE THEM TO FINN. IT WAS JUST ABOUT NAP TIME--HE HAD HIS BINKIE AND WE HAD JUST FINISHED READING A BOOK, WHEN I STARTED MY BEST RENDITION OF MARY HAD A LITTTLE LAMB. FINN LOOKED AND LISTENED TO ME FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE PULLING THE BINKIE OUT OF HIS MOUTH AND SHOVING IT INTO MINE. THUS ENDED MY SINGING CAREER. EVERYONE IS A CRITIC!

a little diahrea!
Kes comes downstairs holding a pink diary and a pen.
"Mom....I really need to write in my diahrea!"
Yikes! Could be messy! :)

Bailey gets glasses
So we went for eye-check ups about a month ago. I get bad-mother-of -the-year award because I had never taken my kids before and discovered Bailey was severely near sighted! Consequently she got glasses! She picked them out herself, because my eyes had been dilated so I couldn't see anything small! I think she looks pretty cute though!

Back on the Blog!
So it has been months since I have blogged! But I am turning over a new leaf...weekly updates! My resolve should last for a few weeks at last. This weeks event...our camping trip.
What I love about camping...getting away from it all! No TV, no computer, no phones...just me and my family. We spent the day hiking, fishing, swimming, picking wild flowers, and just enjoying each other's company. The forecast had called for isolated thunderstorms--which we didn't mind. The over cast skies kept it cool and delightful. There was also a fire restriction so we couldn't build a camp fire but where able to cook on our camp stove. In the evening we had about four woodpeckers swooping into camp for our table scraps so the kids kept throwing out food to them. The entertained us for about an hour! We had a wonderful day and evening!
What I hate about camping...at about 9 o'clock at night it started pouring rain. It rained, and rained and rained. To the point that our tent was no longer waterproof. All the kids where sound asleep. I was wide awake however because I had taken the cheap sleeping bag and was therefore freezing (we where above 10, ooo feet in altitude) Not only was water dripping on my forehead every 30 seconds, but I was literally holding my sleeping bag closed with one hand. At about midnight, another car pulled up next to us...I watched there lights as they tried to set up camp in a downpour and then again an hour later as the packed up and drove home (At this point I was trying to figure out how we could do that same thing! Those smart wimps! ) Then came the wind! For those of you who don't know what Wyoming is like I can describe it for you in one word: windy! Our tent literally felt like it was going to lift off the ground with us in it. It was so loud and unnerving that I didn't fall asleep till it died down at about four in the morning! On the upside--I didn't have to worry about wild creatures--because no animal (or human for that matter) would be stupid enough to venture out in that weather! Next time might just go for a day trip!

Spring is in the air...
Spring at our house is celebrated by the Birthday bash week...Bridger and Bailey within a week of each other! Bailey got to have her Grandma Stott here for her birthday who was here helping out after Levi's second surgery. Lucky girl! (Thanks mom!) Also, to celebrate spring we have some bunnies and chicks running around our house. Because it has been crazy around here with Levi's second surgery my good friend that makes cakes professionally did both of their cakes for their parties! Now we can settle down and enjoy this lovely 60 degree weather! Yeah!!!
