Double fail

Happy Camper

I got me some bangs & some darkness

We've been to the Dinosaur Park

3 amigos

We've been to Burger King & a few other fast food chains

A little RAGNAR ( by little I mean big)

way to go Lisa & Shay!

Some Ogden Nature Center

Cousins

Probably laughing at a bodily noise

snuggling up for a movie

Breakfast with the girls

Trenches for the sprinklers

And a useless deep deep hole.....just cause.

And this concludes the first half of the Britt's summer.

please stay tuned for the other half, hopefully equally enjoyable and equally safe.

Pizza Pizza

  The kids love to make pizza and on this fine evening we were um, well lacking on toppings.
Truth be told I prefer cheese pizza, but the incredible mom I am I say "how bout you guys pick whatever toppings you want." They Did.

The creator  &  Chef

I agree, it does vaguely resemble fake vomit.

corn and pickle pizza pie Anyone?

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

I don't know how he does it...but he does.

His alarm(s) ring at 3:15 a.m for work & yet he comes home full of energy to play with the kids.

 He involves them & puts them to work along side him.

He's, loving, kind, honest, respectful, patient and a good example.

I can only hope my boys will grow up to be like him, and Canyon will find someone like him.

And these are the reasons why HE is the #1 dad.

Happy Fathers Day Ry, we love you

First dance class

Canyons attention span is finally long enough to take dance & oh how i've been waiting.

. Did I know if she'd participate?...no

. Did I know if she'd like it?...no

. Did I know apparently no one has redesigned the leotard since 1985?....no

Farmer Garys

:Warning picture overload:

 A trip to Farmer Garys included- Grandma Coco, Grandpa Mark, chickens, bunnies, goats, fish, the kids, myself & of course Farmer Gary.

                                         

did you know rabbits can have babies every 3 months.

The sweetest goat ever.

Lincoln wasn't a fan of her

But he loved feeding the chickens.

The kids herding the goats back

farmer Gary said Porter was a natural tractor driver

Canyon loved driving

She even gave grandpa a ride!

guess what the first thing Lincoln did,  yup threw rocks.

his pond has trout.

"the kids"

hahaha get it

The breakfast of champions

Brooke went to DisneyLand and brought the kids back this huge sucker.  I hid it up on a shelf in hopes in never having to set eyes on it again.

I obviously need to stop setting my hopes so high.

Shortly after the amusing pictures the fighting insued.

step #1: break sucker into pieces and divide among the kids...wrong... these sucker pieces were comparable to shards of glass.

Step#2: set kitchen timer and pass the slimy germ infested $5.00 disneyland sucker every 3 minutes...it worked!

Step #3: ending as quietly as it began, I spot nasty sucker on my living room carpet and throw away without even being noticed. 

Dear mom & mother in law, the kids were fed a healthly bowl of Kix (kid tested mother approved)

THANK YOU BEST FRIEND BROOKE

preschool Graduation

   The morning started out a little rough, complete with an emergency bath and removal of pink bubblicious from Canyons hair.  We persevered and made it to the library for Canyons Preschool Graduation and she did FABULOUS.

         Way to go Canyon, you have learned so much this year.

HOW WAS YOUR DAY?

Apparently the fresh new gallon of milk was heavier then he expected.

Take It From Me

 Those of you who know me, know I am cheap, frugal, thrifty, a bargaineer and a sales rack frequent-tor.  That is why i'm blogging about this site Take It From Me.
It's a blog only about reviews and give aways. well that's what i'm talkin about people. go check it out.

KINDY 500

  For school Porter had the Kindy 500.  He had to make a car to drive on his road trip to see different states and landmarks.  Upon arrival the kids sang some songs (America & grand old flag) and then did a parade for the parents.
  Some of these cars were very impressive with working wheels, lights & radios to which I assume the kids did more of the watching then the actual making. I admit it is hard to let the kid take over the project when you have a certain idea in your head. (maybe I really just have a jealousy issue)
