Could there BE anymore toothbrushes!

This spring I took Austin to the dentist with me for a cleaning. He was really fussy and so the Dental Hygienist gave him a little toothbrush to chew on and that was it, he was in LOVE! Now he steals our toothbrushes (including his sister's) and I find I'm spoiling him with new toothbrushes just to keep him happy. I guess there are worse things to spoil your kids with, right? ;>

I...AM...A...ROBOT

We bought a bike trailer and it came in this huge box with plastic & cardboard. Well we thought we had taken all the plastic out and so we let the kids play with the box (because that's the most exciting part right!). Apparently we missed one piece of plastic and some cardboard, and while I was standing in the kitchen I heard a voice behind me say (very robotic like), "I...AM...A...Robot!" I turned around and saw her, and it scared the heck out of me because I wasn't expecting it & I didn't recognize her right away. So I laughed, took a picture and thought, "how smart it was of her to create a robot outfit out of that!" And then I realized how dangerous that was and I said with much authority, "Don't ever put a bag over your head again young lady!" And then I threw the bag away (with a big hidden smile on my face). :>

Happy Birthday to Brooke

September 23rd we celebrated my birthday. It was a really nice day and we went out to dinner at one of our favorite family restaurants Joe's BBQ, where the kids got to run around and play while we relaxed with friends. And then that weekend we went out on a date with Garrett's parents (who were in town from NM) to see the movie Eagle Eye, which was a good movie! Ohhhhh to get out alone for a while without kids climbing all over me...that was the greatest birthday gift of all! ;>

We love you Mommy...even if you are old

Blow the candles out!

Scorpion in Brooke's hair

Around 4:30am Sept. 24th, I was awakened by a sharp pain in my upper arm bicep area. About a minute later I felt something crawling in my hair, and that something turned out to be a scorpion! AHHHHHHHH! It stung me 4 times (head, arm twice & finger) and my arm and face went numb and I felt pretty yucky for a couple of days. So I learned the hard way about what they say about scorpions are true...it "does" hurt when they sting you!! We're so thankful it didn't get one of the kids!

God Made Dirt And Dirt Don't Hurt!

We met up with some friends that were camping in Payson Saturday. We didn't quite feel up to spending the night, so we just went up for the day. It was SO nice to get out of dodge and the heat!!! We got nice and dirty, and the first thing the kids did when we got out of the car was dive right into the dirt! You can't see it, but the kids have little dirt mustaches on their faces...priceless! We had a lot of fun!
