funny

So this girl is my biggest fan all day long and she is a go-er! She loves to get up in the morning and get dressed and eat and say where we going? Well this week we had a few low stress days and hung out a lot! We layed in bed and watched Dora and talked till 1030 one day. I loves it and I think she did too! Well today we went to drive around to see horses by where we live like we do most days and she gets out of her car seat and we roll the window down and she starts the ritual " Hey horse hey cow hey!!!!" So they usually ignore her and go about walking around or eating well today the one started to pee and A LOT!!!! Well she was intrigued and says mom he is pooping! I say no he went potty and she said no look mom that poop is hanging there!!!! Well they I went on to say that "it" was his private and we drove away to get away from that very large thing How embarrassing and hilarious!!!! I sure do love my kids and the funny things they say and do!

He is 9

So this guy turned 9 on Sunday and had a spectacular weekend with friends and family. He started his Friday off with taking treats to school and getting out early to go to the book fair and then to Jump street with some friends and his dad! After that they met up with mom and the girls and Bobba and Papa and brie and Ash and old papa and Zach at PPP. After lots of tokens and games and a little eating we called it a night. Saturday came really quick for a 9am game with doughnuts from Grandma and Grandpa and lots of fans cheering him on! He made 2 goals and was so happy to have all the special friends watching him. We left there to go pick out his birthday bike and then to lunch at Olive garden for his birthday lunch. Sunday was spent with church and all of the family coming over for a great meal of ribs(his favorite). He got some great gifts and loves spending time with his cousins.

She walked home with him from the end of our street holding his hand and even picked him up for part of the way home. Sure do love my sweet girl!

Camping and Out of Africa!!!!!

With this week being fall break we were able to go on a little get away with the kids. We went up to cottonwood and were able to visit the famous Out of Africa, and it was amazing! So close to the animals on the safari ride.
Watching the hyena's laugh as the lady fed them! Jaxson was happy Mya is of course mesmerized!
Adam volunteered to pick up the anaconda with the other adults for the show the kids we so proud of their daddy! They later go to go in also and touch it and see how big it was!
Whitney taking a load off and Daddy being happy to help her out! It was a huge park and we could walk for days or take a tram which we did a few times.
On the safari bus looking at the animals up close.
Smiles for the girl row Whitney was always on the lookout. She wasn't too sure of those huge animals up close in her space. She kept saying" I will look mom don't hold me".
This freaked her out as the Giraffe came right up to the bus and ate a carrot from Adam's mouth

Mya loves to pose~
Having cereal for breakfast one night! Love relaxing and not having to cook.
Skipping rocks, and wanting to go swim !!! It was a bit cold but the walk and rocks made everyone happy.



My handsome boy chillin by the fire.

Peace out! She made us laugh and we got to have a great breakfast that morning thanks to the Bakers!
Sweet grandpa~ They drove up for the day and got to go fishing with us.


My sweet sassy girl. We sure had a great time in the outdoors and with good friends. Can't wait to go again for more than 2 days!

Houseguest

So a few nights ago I was driving into the driveway and I was shocked to see the largest tortoise in the front of my car. I quickly got it together and ran inside to get the kids and Adam to see what we should do. I have never seen a sight like this:) The kids were so excited and couldn't believe it either. We thought of a plan to carry the turtle together and put him in our backyard. It is about 150 pounds!!!!! We lifted it up, so heavy! I was also afraid of it biting my arm. We had a late night and the next day the kids fed him and he follows them. We are having a great time with our live in pet until the owner claims it:(

I am 3

So this little crazy girl had a birthday and she is now "free". She has been so excited the past month and wanted her birthday to come fast. The past 3 years have flown by and I am sad to think she is not much of a baby anymore.
She can dress herself, feed herself, and go potty by herself. She doesn't want o hold hands crossing the street and she likes to buckle herself in the car seat. She likes to get her own drink of water and brush her own teeth. She is very independant!!!!!
She loves so dance and sing and loves candy!!!!
Her favorite colors are purple and pink, and she has become quite a great swimmer this year. She also loves to go to the gym with mommy as long as she can wear big girl panties and go in the jumpy house.:) She is so smart and talks my ear off all day long asking why or how come to everything. She is so funny to and makes some great jokes already. We have enjoyed her being home with us during the day and treasure each moment. It wasn't long ago that we were waiting in the hospital wondering if this baby was a boy or a girl. The anticipation was so fun and when she came out she was so perfect and calm. She was wide awake and listening to everything from the start. Taking in the world and she hasn't stopped. She is loved by so many and makes our family so blessed! Hope you had a great day sweet BUKERS!!!!!!

MAKUTU

While my nieces were here in July we were able to do a lot of fun things and this was one of them!
It was a rain forest built jungle gym that was perfect for all of our kids and us! Some of the spaces were a bit tight, but very fun and exciting.
Sweet Ken loved all of it too and smiled a lot!
There was a zip line that we all did and here is Adam spotting whitney! She did not want to go again but still had a great time!
Three sweet girls! We sure do miss our cousins and are grateful for the time we could spend with them!
This gal and Lucas were perfect for this and kept going and going and going! They loved the slides and tunnels the most!
Brielle and Bobba and papa came too! It was such a perfect day with great people and sweet kids. We ate and played for about 4 hours and could have stayed longer. Can't wait till next time!
