"Do you want a s'more?" "S'more What, I haven't had anything yet?"

My little brother was a movie junkie. He could quote the entire movie, any movie, and he did. Usually on long car rides, or anytime boredom would strike. Any time I hear the word s'more I think of the movie the sandlot, and that phrase, and I chuckle to myself. We didn't need a portable DVD player, we had Erik. Erik I don't know that you ever check my blog, but know I think of you often, and miss you more than you know!

Last weekend we went camping with some friends of ours. I love to camp, and we didn't get to camp at all last summer. However, this summer I intended to rectify that! We just went up to the pot holes, pitched a tent, and ate in the wilderness. The kids had a blast, and so did I.

Aaron's dad, or Papa as he is now known got to come too. Jenna and Payton always have a blast with their papa, and we were glad that he came with us.


We got all the kids light sticks. They have fun with them, and I can see where they are in the dark! It's a wonderful thing.

Payton loved hanging out with Abby, who is our friends dog. We didn't take our with us this time, to be honest we didn't have room with all the firewood in the truck.


Here are our good friends Nick, Kelly, Tucker, and Coleman Cobb. We had a blast camping guys, thanks for coming with us!

And It Begins!!!

Head Lice

Does it give any one else the creeps? I know that lot's of kids get head lice, Even I when I was a kid got head lice. ( my little sisters went to a summer camp, and came home with head lice which they shared with the rest of the family.) However, the thought of head lice makes me itch from head to toe! No, we do not have head lice in our home, well at least not yet. I got a note from the school nurse that one of Jenna's classmates has lice, and that we should be watching for head lice, because Jenna could have gotten it from her little friend. Oh, the joys of school!! I feel bad for the little kid that had it, and I know that any kid can get it, even if they have impeccable hygiene. This knowledge isn't making me itch less, and I know that my itching is strictly from paranoia, but none the less I'm debating about washing everything in boiling hot water! Three weeks left of school, let the count down begin!

Family Photos Part II

So, I couldn't get the slideshow thing to work. Here are a few of our family photos! I really thought they turned out well. Huge shout out to Staci!!

Family photos!!!

So, mother's day was kind of a joke around here this year. To sum it up we will not be celebrating fathers day in this house this year, if that gives you any idea of how mother's day went.

However, we did have family pic's taken by a great photographer named Staci "Hunter" Faw. She came out to the farm, and took some great photo's despite my family trying to sabotage the photos. Aaron was horse back riding all day, and was a real crabby pants through the photo session, Jenna cried and cried, because I made her have her hair curled. ( She wanted the straight in my face look evidently.) Then she cried, because I didn't have time to paint her finger nails. Payton decided that he was going to wear his snow boots, and one farm glove, and would not take them off. Before we started I was asking myself why I had asked for this for mothers day? I have only seen a couple pic's they are on Staci's blog at http://www.fawfamily.blogspot.com/ and I love them. Staci had the patience of a saint, and I am so grateful for her and her tolerance for my crazy family.

THANK YOU Staci!!!!!
