CAMPING!






We had our first camping adventure with both kids this weekend. It was so fun! We loaded the camper and the rhino and went on an adventure. Oaks had so much fun she was a trooper! So was Max he really likes outside. Plus my sister in-law Heidi passed on a bunch of her kids clothes to Max had the cutest little outfit on complete with a camoflauge hat. We took a big long ride on the rhino ( we left Max with Grandma) and went to carve his name on a tree that Justin and I started right before we got married. Anyways thats about it. We are supposed to be closing on our house next week and will be in it by next weekend HOORAY! it will be a whole new adventure to start!!!

It's a zoo in my room!

First of all I just wanted to let everyone know that Marilyns surgery went great! she is doing really well and now we are just waiting to know what the next step will be.

So this weekend my husband had to attend meetings in Salt Lake. He was gone from Sunday until Tuesday which happens to be a really long time alone in a house with two kids. So on Sunday night I decided to go to bed early with the kids cause I figured if I had to do this alone I better get a little sleep. Well I pulled a cot into my room for Oaklee and put Max on the bed by me so we could all sleep together and proceeded to put Max to sleep first after I had laid Oaks down on the cot. She usually does pretty good at just going to sleep. So after I started to give Max his bottle and he was settled down Oaklee got up and started sprinting from one end of my room to the other. At least she was quiet while doing it. Anyways after I got Max to sleep I went to lay by Oaks on the cot to see if I could settle her down. after about ten minutes or so I thought she was asleep when all of a sudden I hear "eow (meow), eow, eow," so I said "Oaklee shhhh" which was followed by "roar" from her. then about ten minutes later I went to go back to my bed when she says " Oo Oo Ah Ah Ah". By this time all I could do was laugh and Oaks started laughing too! she then put her hands on my face until she found my lips in the dark and leaned over and gave me a kiss told me Nigh Nigh and plopped down on her pillow and was asleep in 2 minutes. My kids are great!
