9 new posts!
Sorry I am so lame. I really need to just blog more frequently, instead of doing these big catch up posts. I did a post for each of the kids, since I haven't posted about my kids in a while I thought I would let everyone know what is up with them and post some recent pics! They are a little long but I think they are worth reading! Of course they are my kids so of course I think that! lol.. Other then that there are a lot of recent pics.
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIILLLLLED!!!!
So the fourth of July weekend will be the fourth weekend in a row that we have gone to the dunes, and the 8-10th time we have been this year! I love the new bike and me and Kyle both hate riding the quad, so what did he do.....? He shopped around for a week or so and bought me a twinner bike on Friday from a dealer in Delta. We picked it up on our way to the dunes on Saturday!!!! Holy cow I love him. My garage now looks like a Yamaha dealer!
Don't mind the messy garage, just look at the sexy motorcycles!

Father's day
So on Father's day we made a day trip to the Dunes! I had to try out my new boots I got the day before! I rode the new bike the whole day and I loved it. Kyle borrowed his friends bike, so he wasn't stuck on four wheels. I now can start it while it's in first gear! I don't have to find neutral everytime I kill it! I actually learned how to turn it. In general we just had a very good day! I didn't actually give Kyle his present till Tuesday night. Well really it was my mom's present but the kids made it. They made him a custom dune flag that says 'super dad' and put all their hand prints on it. I only have one pic right now. I will post the finished product as soon as possible. The Motor home is currently at BMW getting the slide worked on, because it broke the next weekend, and the flag is in there!
Ethan blog
ECW.....
Officially knows more then me! He tells story about stuff that I have no idea how he knows about it. He was telling Paxton about juvie the other day in the car. He was telling me about six shooters earlier in the week. The kid just cracks me up!
He is a huge help and I find myself telling him to remember to be a kid and that he doesn't have to hold so much responsibility upon himself.
He will make a kind caring husband one day.
I am so lucky that all my kids want to snuggle. I am so sad that I am going to loose my first little boy very soon. I know the day is coming that he will be too cool to love his mom.
He has alone time almost everyday. I will be wondering where he went and I will find him playing in his room by himself. After a while he will come out and join the crowd.
He wants to get a dog, so for the past couple months he has been picking up after my mom's dog in the backyard everyday to prove he is ready for the responsibility.
He wants to impress his dad with all his hard work during the day, and really likes to prove that he is capable of being well behaved.
He is always willing to help and I ask way more of him then I should.
He is so independent and can do almost everything himself. From bathing and dressing, to feeding and cleaning.
He is really turning into a little boy. He loves to play fight. He is obsessed with guns. (Since he just barely got his first gun a month ago, this is interesting to me) He is a total show off.
He has the most tender heart. His feelings are broken so easily.
He loves his family and getting to spend time with his grandmas, and grandpas, aunts, uncle, and nephew.
He keeps our family in shape, and makes us smarter by being around, we love that kid.

Paxton blog
Mr. Packy....
He is our happiest kid. It takes a lot to get Packy down. He just likes to play and have a good time.
He loves to do tricks and is definitely our biggest dare devil.
He loves to snuggle, which melts my heart. I get absolutely nothing done all day at home. I would much rather snuggle all my kids then do chores!
He loves to ride on the motorcycle with his dad. He also loves to go to the dunes.
He talks about school all the time and I don't think he realizes it's summer and that he isn't currently going to school.
He sings all the time! He may very well be my drama club boy.
He really just wants to be loved. He wants to make friends and be happy. He gets so sad when Ethan or Brynn won't play with him. Or when they are being mean.
He can be just as mean though, and isn't pleasant when he doesn't get his way!
If I could somehow keep him and Brynn apart my life would be a lot easier. They get together and conjure up ways to make my life hard. If they aren't being naughty, they aren't happy.
He is getting to the stage that he wants to help. Him and Ethan fight over who gets to help me. I know it's a rough life!
He tends to be a pickier eater, then Brynn. Maybe it's a boy thing.
He can eat a melon as fast as I can cut it. He would eat fruit all day long if I let him. Any fruit he isn't picky when it comes to fruit at all.
He almost never eats dinner well, but eats me out of house and home the rest of the day.
He loves to be naked or in jammies, and it is really hard to get him to change clothes. Once he is in something he tends to think it's good to wear for the next 7-10 days!
Overall I love my Packy he is sweet and kind, loves his family, and brings a ton of laughs to our house.

Brynn blog
Well what can I say about Brynn.....
She is two and taken the meaning of terrible twos to a whole new level! She is so smart that she can literally plot evil.
She will not look for anything on her own, from shoes to sippy cups, to ANYTHING, and she starts crying instantly if she asks you for something and you don't instantaneously stand up to get it. Because of this she is crying most of the time!
She is starting to use the potty more, as in the last two days! She wasn't so good about #2 today though.
Of course she isn't all bad, if she was we would of sold her by now! She can charm the pants off of anyone. I am thinking this is the reason we let her live! She has a smile that is irresistible, a voice that cracks me up, and wants nothing more then to be with her mom. So what more could I ask for really!?!
She has a vocabulary of a kindergartner, she hears a word once and will use it in context.
She loves to make messes. Not just ordinary kid messes. She dumps gallons of orange juice on the carpet, paints her bathroom and Paxton's room with poo, makes mud/yogurt/lotion/pancake/banana pies on the porch steps. (Have a mentioned selling her yet!)
She loves to go fast, she is truly happiest at the dunes. She is pissed that she can't ride the motorcycle. Her butt is too skinny she slides off the tank. While camping if you can't find Brynn look on the quad, she spends about 80% of the weekend just sitting on the 450 waiting for someone to give her a ride. She will not ride on the 90 she has to drive(with an adult on the back of course). As soon as we have the money we will be purchasing her a motorcycle with training wheels.
All in all she is one awesome kid. Just enough tom boy to be a heart breaker, way sooner then I am ready! Still enough girl that I don't know why she is crying all the time!
And the random pics as promised....

My leg after random dune trip
So while at the dunes two weeks ago I got the new bike stuck on a girls ride. Well in the process of kicking it a thousand times, I ended up with these sweet bruises. The next weekend I bought boots! So cool!
Super cute new boots!

Random dune trip
Two weeks ago we went to the dunes for the weekend with Kurt and Jenni. Here are some pics~!
Ethan side hilling with Brynn! He is getting really good on the 90!
Kyle and Kurt racing the 90's! They are so silly.
Kyle trying to get max speed and not roll while turning at full speed!
Kyle and Kurt trying to ride wheelies on the 90s! Once again boys are dorks!

Memorial day
Over Memorial Day weekend we went to St Anthony's like we do every year! It was fairly wet! As we were pulling in on Friday morning our friend Jessie was pulling out. He had crashed his, then girlfriend, now wife's quad and screwed up both his legs pretty bad and definitely needed stitches in one. So why they went to the hospital we set up camp. It happened to be our 5th anniversary so we asked my mom to watch the kids and we went for a ride. We went all the way out to Devils Dune, which is pretty much the end of the sand. I went up and down choke cherry for my very first time. It's one of the racing hills. I had been there before but never actually driven on it. Then we went to devils dune and I watched Kyle ride it but I chickened out. When we got back Jessie still wasn't back and we had pretty much been gone all day! We settled in and he eventually came back, sporting two knee braces, some pain pills, and a very comfy lounge chair! He hung out all weekend even know he was chair ridden, and we had a blast. Kyle befriended the neighbor camp so he wouldn't be stuck riding with me all weekend, and he taught their only girl how to ride on the big fast dunes that is St. Anthony's! We took the kids over to the lake on Monday and they had a blast. Paxton has been asking to go to the beach since we got home from California so that was a dream come true! I feel like a tricked him since the lake is little more then a pond, but at least I don't have to hear him ask to go to the beach everyday! All in all it was a good trip. Jessie is finally getting his one knee fixed next week and he will be as good as new. He actually went out with us this last Saturday and rode his bike around so hopefully his recovery will be fast and he can get a couple trips in at the end of the season.
AWWWWWW Happy Anniversary babe! (No this is not us!)
From the top of choke cherry.
Devils Dune, if you look close you can see a couple people at the top, this should give you an idea of how big it is! Maybe I will have enough guts to do it on the 24th!
Brynn getting dirty in the mud!
Paxton drawing a sun, probably having withdrawals since we never saw it!
Ethan's first bee sting, right on his ear, poor guy
Brynn driving the 90 because she doesn't know she is a tiny bird! Yes they are actually in motion in this pic.
Kyle sporting his head lamp trying to fix the DVD player so the kids could watch a movie. He spent the majority of his time at camp doing this!

Paxton's graduation
So the Thursday before Memorial, Paxton had his last day of preschool and their little program/graduation. I just want to start by saying that I totally forgot about it! I picked him up from school that day and his teacher asked if I was going to be there and I was like, "sure am"!!!! I had to call in to work, thankfully there was two of us scheduled so it was fine that I was late. It was so cute and he knew all the songs and actions and participated in all. Some kids are just too young to be into the whole thing, but he did not disappoint! He had so much fun in school this year and I can't wait for him to go back next year.
This is him singing the friend song to his BFF Will!
Getting is toes in another song. I don't think he missed a single action!
Playing shark!
Wearing his giraffe mask
Getting his certificate.. still in his mask!
