Our new fence!

Andy built us an awesome fence. I am very impressed. It took him a couple of months in between work, school, and family. He takes really good care of our lawn. I love where we live. It is so pretty.

isn't this animal funny looking? It can't even see.

Baylee and Callie on a pony ride. That was their favorite thing.

Friday we went swimming at our neighborhood pool and Saturday we went to the safari. This time they had baby tigers and lions. It was really fun, but really hot. We brought a lunch to eat at some picnic tables, but got moved out by a million flies. It was disgusting.

Safari!

Sydney didn't know what to think about the animals.

These are 5 week old lion cubs. They were so cute and furry.

They are standing in front of some donkeys.

I put Paige in a baby doll stroller. She fit. The kids loved it.

Andy was out of town until Thursday and came to jump zone with us when he got back.

Jump Zone!

After we went to the houseboat Ashley and Taylor, and my parents came back to our house and stayed until Saturday. Thursday we went to a flour mill and jump zone. The kids had a blast. Sydney crawled all over. There was an area for toddlers that was perfect for her.

More house boat!

We look a lot alike in this picture.

More house boat!

Taylor's uncle and cousin were so sweet to Baylee. They played with her in the water the whole time. They were her best friend. Baylee was so good about wearing her life jacket. She never took it off.

House Boat on Lake Eufala in Oklahoma!

Ashley, Paige, and Baylee

Sydney had a hard time.
Baylee did have fun, but she didn't want me to take her pic.
Ashley and Taylor invited us to go on his parents house boat. My parents came too. We stayed Monday afternoon until Wednesday afternoon. We had two houseboats. It was really fun, except that at night we ran the generator and the carbon monoxide alarm kept going off. Sydney was sleeping right next to the door. I didn't sleep well. I was afraid we were all going to die. Andy wasn't with us. Baylee swam all day long with her cousins. Taylor's sister and cousin were there with their kids so she had a lot of kids to play with. She didn't take a nap all day. She and Sydney were really grumpy. Baylee didn't get out of the water all day. Not even to eat.

Vacation to Indiana!

We left last Wednesday and drove to Princeton, In. Thursday we were meeting my family at Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. It is an amusement park and water park. It is so fun. They have free sun tan lotion, and soda. We had a good time. We went with my parents, and Travis and Heather and their families. We had 16 people there. Sorry I forgot to take pictures. We were too busy having fun. They had so many fun kid rides and water tree houses. Baylee and Sydney had a blast. Baylee was able to ride 2 family rides so that was fun for us. She is getting tall. Sydney crawled all over the wave pool area. She got scraped knees, but she didn't care.

Friday the men stayed home with the children while my mom, Heather, Dana, and I went shopping. My mom found some cute clothes. That night we went swimming at my brother-in-laws, brother's pool. It was fun. Baylee just used her floaties and swam all night by herself. She wasn't afraid. She practiced all her new tricks she learned from swim lessons. We were so proud.

Saturday we went to the park and let me tell you it was the most perfect day for weather. It was 80 degrees with no humidity. The boys played kick ball and the little kids played catch and wrote with chalk. It was a great day. We went over to Heathers for dinner and fire works. My mom and Heather made home made donuts. The best donuts I have ever had. They had caramel sauce, and brown powdered sugar mixture sprinkled on top. It was to die for. My family went to Shipsawwanna, IN early in the week. It is an omish town. My parents and Heather have been several times. They have excellent food. They bought the donut mix from there. My nephews, and the older men had fun lighting the fire works.

Sunday we went to church and came home and had a yummy meal. My brother grilled skirt steaks, and porkloins. For dessert my mom made a chocolate pie. She got the recipe from the same omish people. It was really good. Monday we drove home. It's not fun to travel on your day off, but it is so fun spending time with your family.

Twilight:Eclipse Midnight Movie!

Me and two of my laurels, Kenady and Hannah.

Me with my friends Becky, and Hillary.

We had a fun time at the movies. I wasn't tried, but I was the next day. I only got two hours of sleep because my children woke up at 5:50am. The movie was really good. I liked Jacob in New Moon, but I think I am still a fan of Edward. Hopefully they make the last one and we can see Bella and Edward get married.

Sydney!

I put Baylee's bike helmet on Sydney and she looked so cute. She kept it on for a while. She looks happy.
