Pinto Cabin

We are so lucky that Lances family has a cabin, it is so nice to get away sometimes. We went up with Lance and Janelle took some 4 wheelers and had such a good time. We drove out to a wood swing and let the kids each take a turn. Even the adults took a turn it was pretty funny. Things aren't quite the same in your body as it was when you were kids man my body hurt after a couple times!!! We then drove down to the Pinto resevoir and the kids got to skip some rocks. Braxton put on some flip-flops the day we left instead of tennis shoes so he had to borrow his great grandmas, it was pretty funny but a little bit safer. We cooked tin-foil dinners, had smores, and got really dirty. But it was sooooo nice to spend some time together!!!

Cousins

Leslye and Devan have a new little girl named Kyla and Brinlee just loves her. Oh mom why can't we have a little sister she tells me. I think to myself one day at a time Kelli!!! I tell her that it is not time for us to have a sister maybe one day!! In one of the pics Lance took a pic of Braysen he had snuck into Brinlee's room and started playing her DS man he loves those things!!! The other night we had LaraLee over for dinner and she had to feed Jerzie and Brinlee and Braysen had to be right there with her and feed her it was so cute!!!

Braysen and Daddy

Braysen and Lance are having such a good time being home together. Lance is so good with him and chases him all around while trying to do homework and keeping the house clean for me. Lance is at school doing pre-reqs to get into the nursing program. He is working really hard at school and I am very proud of him, He is such an amazing Dad and husband. Don't you just love those little white doughnuts??? So does Brays look at that cute face!!!

School Starts!!

The kids were a little nervous to start school this year with being in a new school and everything. They did great though. Braxtons 4th/5th class was dissolved so now he is in a 4th grade class and loving it. Brinlee is just a little drama queen she was scared to go to the bathroom because the door didnt shut. Come to find out she picks the only one that doesn't lock and probably because she is scared she will get locked in who knows!! But I talked to her teacher and she has a little friend come and hold the door for her and all is well, until we have another drama moment!! She does love school though and is doing very well. Braysen had to be in the pics!!

Busy Braysen

What can I say about this little boy. The best word to describe him is BUSY!!! He climbs on counters,furniture, toys, bunk beds pretty much everything. One day I had Brax watch him for awhile and he thought it was cute that Brays was watching his Daddy out the window so he took some pics of him. Braysen just loves his Daddy especially now that they spend alot of time together. But right when I walk in the door from work I get a huge hug or an excited little boy which makes the day so worth it!!! I love these sweet kids!!!

Happy Birthday Braxton!!

I can't believe that Braxton is already 9 where has the time gone!!! For his birthday we took older boy cousins to the Washington Rec Center. It was so much fun the kids had a really good time. Brax is such a great kid we are so lucky to have him in our family. He is way smart and excited to start school. He will be in an 4th and 5th grade mixed class which will give him the challenge that he needs. He is very helpful with his siblings and he is so thoughtful about certain things. He knows when I am upset at him and usually apologizes right away. We love you Brax and we are so glad that you are in our family.

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. We went up to Pinto to Lance's family Ence Reunion. The kids had a great time. Brinlee got to ride a horse. All the older cousins were so sweet to our kids and took them for fun atv rides. The kids participated in all the games and it was just a fun day. That night when we got home we were so exhausted that we asked the kids if they wanted to go to town and watch fireworks or light our own. They wanted to stay home which was nice we lit some fireworks in the backyard and went to bed. I am so thankful that my kids have got to experience some fun things lately it is so nice to treasure ever moment with them especially since I don't see them as much as I used to. I love being with Lance and the kids!!!!
