Blanket Ride

Emily had a great idea she wanted her dad to pull Brandon and her around on her blanket. They had so much fun! Rose also thought it was fun to chase them. I love watching the kids play with their Daddy!

Next time I think we might need a bigger blanket!

I LOVE MY KIDS

Two Monkeys Jumping On The Bed!

I have two kids who LOVE to jump on my bed! The other night they were at it again, while daddy was supervising. I was so excited that I had a my camera back from the repair shop, just in time for some great pictures. My Emily jumps with care and my Brandon jumps with no fear! We had to put a pillows in front of the head board and on the foot board to prevent Brandon from splitting his head open! They really had so much fun and we had fun watching them.... guarding the edges!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Kindergarten

On Monday it was Emily's BIG day, she started kindergarten! I was so nervous for her, she was not looking forward to going. I had been making it a HUGE deal and trying to hype it up. Emily started getting excited as we were getting her snack and back pack ready. James was able to go into work late so he could be there to see his baby girl start school. Emily was a trooper we walked her to class and she went in with no problem. We stayed for a little bit and watched her. She was so cute! Emily waved and we left. I was so proud of her. I was so sad, that my baby is in school, I did cry when I left her. I picked her up she said that she liked it and that her teacher was nice. Which made me so happy! Also my little shy girl told me that she raised her hand in class and told the teacher about our camping trip. She told her that she rode her bike while we were camping and that she fell off her bike. I was so surprised that she talked to the teacher on the 1st day. I guess she was ready for school.

On Tuesday it was James' birthday so I made him cheese enchiladas, his favorite! His mom and niece were also coming over. They we planning on making refried beans and mexican macaroni. I had everything out for them ready to go. They are cooking and my mother in law grabs the tomato sauce to open. (not knowing that I already opened it for her) she gets it and proceeds to shake it, tomato sauce is everywhere. While she is cleaning up, I turn and look at Brandon who is sitting at the table eating his hot dog. Nope, he isn't eating instead he had a travel shampoo bottle, which he some how opened and had it all over him and his hot dog. ( He already had a bath and had his pj's on) James gets Brandon and takes him upstairs and has to give him another bath. Now I am cleaning up all the shampoo. OK so you thought that was all! Now my niece goes to fill her cup with ice from the ice maker. Funny but ice didn't come out soda started pouring out. I open the freezer and sitting in the ice maker was a can soda. The can had a large whole down the side. James said he put the soda in the ice so it would get cold faster. After that mess was cleaned up I definitely thought You Got To Be Kidding!

Camping in the Sierra's

This weekend we went to our favorite place Sliver Lake! We were so excited because we were going with the Valdivia's ! We love taking trips together. The girls have so much fun together. They are the cutest BFF's! The girls did tons of fishing with their dad's super cute! Brandon and Dylan had a great time, hopefully they are BFF's in the making.




We went on bike rides around the campground, took walks to the store and sat by the fire, it was so relaxing. The most exciting thing for the guys was when they came face to face with a bear who was trying to get into the trash dumpster! James said that was the 1st bear he has ever seen in his 32 yrs camping there. How crazy, so glad that I didn't see it!

We had a great surprise while we were camping. I had just walked into the RV when I heard Julie say "oh my gosh, Melissa". When I looked out of the window I saw the Fleming Family. We had know idea that they were up there too. We enjoyed having them hang out by the fire and have some tasty s'mores. The kids had so much fun together and Macy was so cute!



Another great trip, the kids were awesome and we all had a great time! We can't wait to go again, next year we are going for a whole week!
