August's few things from Facebook

The 7 year old, 5 year old, and 4 year old took dinner plans into their own hands. Apparently we're having crockpot chili and fruit! (Oaklee wanted to add the fruit to the chili - I had to talk her out of that) They had fun opening all the bean cans and adding them to the crockpot. Cute kids!

It's a beautiful day when your 25 year old sister calls freaking out over a giant cockroach in her laundry ! The beauty of it is that the creature wasn't in my laundry!! — with Samantha Williams.

Gotta love it when your five year old starts singing 'don't stop believin' at the top of her lungs!

Went to check on the Littles...couldn't find Jersi...found her! (in the top bunk with her buddy)

Morrissa Posted: Truth is your the best mom anybody could ask for and you need to put those pictures on fb!!!:)

Went out to do a final check on my kidlets before going to bed... found Jersi chillin on the toilet. She apparently took herself there, removed her own diaper and decided to go potty. I think the "I need to go potty" excuse Dayton uses 400 times a night has rubbed off on her...

August Extras

AHC's - August

I made a Giant GeoBoard this month.  The Littles love it! (and Krista's kids too) It occupied them for quite a long time!

 This is just Jersi's birthday cake and cupcakes - but I thought they were pretty stinkin cute!

End of Summer Fun

All sorts of fun in the yard...

 And Kamron changing my oil

Day 2

Day 2 was a much better day.

Oaklee still wanted me to take her to school - but once we were there she was thrilled to have her picture taken all over the classroom - and then she was okay to let me leave. 

By the end of day two she was already singing the days of the week song to Jersi! (They learn things so fast!!)

She's in love with school now! (But she HATES the days they have to walk to school...which is pretty much everyday)

Headed Home

When we went to 7 Peaks, Krista let us take her airport shuttle van... Here are some pictures of my goofy kids on the way back home...  Watch out for Oaklee's accidental flip off (that I had no clue about until I saw these pics on my computer)

Did you all see how cute Morrissa is in each one?

Also, I need a van like this.

Party at 7 Peaks

Our final sibling adventure while Jonathan was in town was an adventure at 7 Peaks.  James, Sam, Jonathan, and my whole family ventured to 7 Peaks for some fun. (Jen and the kiddos had already headed back to Colorado, and poor Sharli Parli couldn't head all the way down from Logan cuz she had just started back to teaching that day)

Sam, Kamron, (my shadow), Dayton, Jonathan, James

 Jersi's mermaids

 "Foting, foting" Jersi loves to "fote" (float) she lays back and puts her feet up. She'll float like this forever if you let her.

 Dayton's super heros

 And of course Oaklee has Ariel

 Jersi's favorite trick in the wave pool...the other Littles joined her

 She got so good at floating I could give her a push and she'd float across the pool. So cute

 James and Jonathan playing with Dayton and Oaks

 Jonathan and his "six pack" playing with Oaks

 Samantha and the girls

 The sunset as we were leaving

Apparently while I was hanging with the Littles, All the Bigs and the adults went racing down the race slide - wish I had a picture of that!   I loved the fun we had as siblings while Jonathan was in town - we really need to go on a sibling vacation - it'd be a blast!

Oh!  Also, back on the 14th Jen and her kidlets ventured with me and mine to 7 Peaks - which was a TON of fun too - but apparently I took no pictures.  Odd.
