Are You Sure?

So yesterday Allyson was sitting on the floor and started coughing, so naturally I asked if she was okay and her reply was,

"I just had a charlie horse in my mouth"

Our Vacation

Our Family Campout

Louis, I'm Calling The Fire Department!!!!!!

That's it, we have given up on the small matches and boy scouting of rubbing two sticks together. We brought out the big dogs! Blow Torches, since when do we bring these on camp outs? Watch out Nauvoo.

Camp Nauvoo

As many of you know, our family took a mini trip to nauvoo and camped at the local state park there in Nauvoo. What a wonderful experience. The weather was totally amazing, the local deer were hungry and well, lets face it, our camp out breakfast was "'da bomb". We have some friends that live in Nauvoo that hooked us up with a yummy Tator Tot casserole and some fresh veggies from the garden. I wish that I had erased more old pictures so that you could have seen the size of the cucumber that we ate. It was flippin' ginormous!!!!!!! Thanks guys! It was delish!

Success Finally!

The kids and I went to an eye doctor today and we sat there for a full hour without any fighting or whining and/or pushing. It was excellent! I was so proud of them for obeying and using kind words and coloring together. It was AMAZING! I was so excited to have a successful day at the doctor with All four children. So naturally, I had to reward them for being well behaved. Thanks children for being so great today!

So Allyson was getting her eyes checked today while we were sitting at the optometrists office and he asked her to read the line that she saw in the mirror. I was totally proud of her she read the line and then broke out in this little jiggy song. " On the line I see A F C oh yeah that is what I see!" Well the doctor couldn't resist, he burst out in laughter and proceeded to tell me what well behaved and happy children I have. AAAH! As a mother of 4, and as much doubt that you may have of your abilities as a mom, it is music to ones ears to hear someone say that.

Everybody Squeeze

Sibbling Love, I knew that they had it in them somewhere!
