Camping

Tori and Alex dirty from 3 days in the mountains.

Benton loves being outside.

We had so much fun sharing meals and visiting around the camp fire with some good friends.

My 5 year old can now drive a 4-wheeler by herself!

Peas Please!

We had peas for dinner. I noticed Benton poking at his ears and crying so I examined the situation and found 3 peas jammed into each ear! I wish I got a picture!

It all began...7 years ago...

"7 Year Itch"

They say your 7th Anniversary is the year of the "itch." Well, I think that is far from the truth! We just had our BEST Anniversary yet! It was the most simple and yet the best. Every year I get a bigger flower arrangement from Garrett. This year was pretty dang HUGE...I wonder what next year will bring! Instead of a fancy trip or expensive gifts this year was celebrated with sentiment. Nothing beats that!
Happy Anniversary Garrett! I love you!

Hannah Montana!

I was one of those mom's who swore their children would NEVER watch Hannah Montana. Well, I was wrong. Not only do they love her music but her movies. I took the girls to the latest Hannah Montana movie (which was very bearable) and then we had to rush off to the Disney Store afterward for the complete look. They were so thrilled and excited that it made it so worth it!

Creative!

"It's a beach, Mom." I don't know whether to laugh or cry!!

Young Habbits Die Hard

Hair Twirling
Finger Sucking (she started this habit in the womb!)
Finger in the belly button.

All my kids have a self soothing action. I guess they inherited it from their mother. I sucked my thumb and twirled "doodads" on blankets until I was 10 years old.
Shhhh....don't tell, but I still find comfort in twirling "doodads."
