Bluebonnet

Thanks to some facebook conversations we found the BEST bluebonnet spot! I have never seen any thing like it.  It was beautiful. The kids were pretty cooperative, Jack just refused to smile but thats ok. We still got some nice pictures!  It was a great way to spend my birthday!

 I love this picture of the big kids!  They were both being very good!

 My favorite!

 Dustin HATES this picture because she looks so old! It does show off her new 6 year old attitude!  We are thankful though because even with the attictude she is still a really good kid!

I hope you all enjoyed your Saturday as much as we did!!! It was a beautiful day!!!!

She did it!

Haley did it! She wrote 10 books and made enough money to buy her bike!  She was so excited!

 Here she is making dads birthday cake!

 Austin after CHAT! He doesn't get naps on Monday and Wednesday due to his speech class so when we get home this is what he looks like, I will spare you what he sounds like when he wakes up from this nap...I will just say he is not in a good mood!

 Haleys art work was chosen for the district art show!  Hers is the crazy blonde one!

 She saw her bike in the back of dads truck!!!!

Much better fit!!!

Have I got a Deal for You!

So Haley has decided since we won't buy her a bike she would try to earn money to buy it herself.  She decided she would make books and sale them.  She decided to sell them a dollar a piece.   She asked me to advertise on the blog :)

Don't worry , if money is an option she said she would write some for free!

 

 Here she is making her sign!

 Her sign says "Buy Haley's Books for $1 a book! E-mail Haley if you want one at Haleyes1213@gmail.com "(the e-mail on the ad was wrong, oops)  At the bottom it says "Written and illustrated by Haley"

Camping

Dustin and I finally finished Jacks bed.  We wanted a rustic bed to go with his "cabin like" bedroom and we couldn't find anything we liked. So I designed the bed, Dustin made it (he definately had the harder job), then I stained and put the poly finish on. This picture doesn't do  it justice becuase you can't see the footboard!  Jack loves it and has no problem sleeping in it.

 2 crazy kids ready to go camping! They love their camping trips with dad.  This year it was Dustin, Haley, Austin, Marcus, Randy, Calista, and Drew. They had a blast!

 He was so excited to go! This was only his 2nd time to go!

 Jack and I enjoyed our time together!  We ate Tacos from Taco Casa, played outside, read books, built towers...so fun!

 I am hopeful that Austin was not driving that four wheeler and that he was just sittin gon it!  I will have to find out when Dustin gets home from his all guys camp out adventure!

 The camp site!

 Uncle Marcus fishing!

 Drew and Haley! Haley was so excited that Drew was able to come. Dustin said that Drew was a huge help at the camp site, you never would have guessed it was his first time camping.  He loved gathering the sticks for the fire!!!!

 Not sure why Austin is so far away...I am sure he and Haley were fighting :)

 Rise and Shine! Haley said they had the best breakfast of "eggs and doritos". She loved it!

 Haley riding her bike....and yes she does need a new one, it is so tiny! We told her for her birthday she could get one. She was not thrilled with that plan but dad says we need to save money :)

 Playing with 3d chalk from Auntie Pam!

 Dinner of spagetti!!!

The kids and I had a great time at home while daddy is off camping!  We do miss him though.  It will be nice to have all the familly together agian tomorrow!  Friday night the kids are super excited to be spending some time with Aunt Kim. When they heard Dustin and I talking about it last week they asked if we would just drop them off right then and leave them there until Friday.  We said no, we didn't think Aunt Kim would be up for a week of babysitting :)
