Picnic at Camel Hill

Me and the kids went for a picnic on the rhino today.  We went to camel hill by Grandma and Grandpa Whitney's house, so of course we had to sit on the tractor.

 The weather has been absolutely beautiful.

 Our cousin Missy saw us and came over to play with us.

 

Isaac took a picture of me and Anna.

I think one of the best things about being a mom is now I get to do all the fun things again that I loved to do as a kid.

Playing in Grandpa's irrigation ditch.

Jackson will be 2 next month.  He's getting so big.

Isaac is 4.  What a good boy he is.

We hiked over camel hill. They are good hikers.  Jackson would sit down on all the down hills and say weee and slide all they way down.

I brought our camp chairs and we had a yummy picnic.

Little Anna is 8 months now.  She loves being outside too.

Jackson has started climbing up on the top of the rhino like Isaac does. I just know he's going to fall off and break his head. He is such a climber.  I didn't let him do it here.

Jackson taking off to go explore.  Maybe he's going to go see if Grandma and Grandpa are back from their mission yet.  1 more month!

The Kids

The day after Elise broke her arm. She is sure a tough girl.

My Boys

Nehi

A week ago Brian found a baby kitty out in the desert at work and he brought it home.  Of course Isaac fell in love with it and held it an loved it all day.  Well that night it died and the next day Isaac was devestated.  So a few days later when Brian saw a lady holding up sign saying "free kittens" he couldn't resist getting it for Isaac.  I wish he would have. Anyway, Isaac and Jackson (and Brian) love it and it is a cute kitty and so far a good kitty.  Isaac said "I want to name this boy kitty Nehi", so Nehi it is.  (sounds like Knee High)

Googlie Eyes

 Grandma and Grandpa Nelson in Texas sent all the Grandkids fun halloween bags which included some cool googlie eyes.

 Jackson loves to say "cheese" for the camera.

And show off his stink bug skills.

Happy Halloween!

 This year we went to Cannonville for Halloween weekend.  We left Thursday night and came home Sunday.  It was very cold so we were very glad we took my Mom and Dad's trailer especially since Isaac and Anna were sick most of the time.  Over all it was a good trip. Unfortunately I only took a few pictures.  These are Saturday in the trailer when we got dressed up to go over to Grandma Bonnies and trick or treat.

 Isaac and Jackson are some kind of scary bad guys who like to hit each other with their weapons and poor little Anna is a little Ladybug.

 Jackson thought about being a duck but that only lasted a few minutes.

 All the kids. 

 Emma was the cutest little witch you've ever seen.

 Pretty princess and Tinkerbell.

 Super - Dus

 My little ladybug and sweet sister.

 Tough boys

This is what Jackson looked like all day - his mouth stuffed with candy.  I think Halloween might be his favorite.

I love My Grandma Bonnie.  14 people suddenly showed up at her house and she was wonderful.  An amazing woman.

Picnic

Last weekend a bunch of us went up Meadow Valley Wash for a picnic.  It was a beautiful day and fun to go out in the hills.

Do I look a little mad here?

 

 

Well I should because a bird just pooped on my babies head!!!  Can you see it?!

 

The kids had a great time building a house out of an old water tank that had fallen over.

They even found an old bed to put in it.

 Estefan workin' hard.

 Dustin gathering sticks for our hot dog roast.

We were surrounded by many cow pies and Jackson wanted it off his hand.

Too Tired

This is what happens when we have a movie party - everyone falls asleep but Momma.

Tired Little Buddy

You can see where Jackson has been putting purple marker up his nose.  It's also in his ears and everywhere else.

Good Brother

But sometimes it's hard when you're trying to watch T.V.

Bumbo

She can sit in the bumbo for a while now till her neck gets tired and her head falls over.
