Sweet Jax

This was Jaxon's card he made for Cooper for his birthday...so cute!

 Jaxon asked me to tie his wagon up to his bike so he could pull it around...awwww too adorable!

 Jaxon's decided he wants to start taking showers instead of baths, so here he is washing his hair.  He didn't even see me taking his picture.  What a cutie patootie!!

Tent Campout

July 25 - Had to do our annual tent campout tonight since I don't have to work in the morning and it's a beautiful night.  Here we are, setting up the tent...

 Jaxon had a brilliant idea of using his mattress to sleep on, so here he is, trying to get his mattress out by himself..

 Playing games late into the night...

 Rylee didn't sleep in the tent because she felt like there wasn't enough room for her.  Kaitlyn slept in it but had already gotten up when I took this picture.  Rise and shine kiddos!!!

Kids

Just had to take a picture of us as we were all sitting in the living room together....everyone was on their mobile devices..in our own little worlds...

 Kaitlyn has started a new hobby, acrylic nails.  She's put them on herself and Kyra and Rylee.

Family Times

Family dinner at the park.  Dad made dinner and we all hung out for awhile afterwards...

 Dinner at Ann's house for her birthday....afterwards, my kids learned how to do back flips on the tramp after they were taught by Amyntas and Hunter's girlfriend, Alyssa.  Crazy how fast they learned!!

 Jaxon tried, but couldn't quite figure out how to do it on his own....

Cowley's Day Parade and Lemonade Stand

They worked so hard on this lemonade stand by taping a bunch of pieces of cardboard together.  They also made name tags to wear so people know who they are...

 Jaxon helped me wrap cookies to sell...

 Rylee designed the labels for the bottles...

                                      

 Rylee on the YM/YW float...

 I bought them a snow cone machine this week so they could sell snow cones...

 They came out with a total of around $26.  Could have made more, but we got there too late for them to sell before the parade.  Then Zoey left right after the parade to go with a friend, otherwise they could have tried to sell more afterwards.  Kyra was kind of bummed cause she put a lot of work into everything and didn't get to sell very much.

Ready for a change

This is the before...

 This is after I colored it a light brown color...

 Kaitlyn's helping me put some highlights in...

 And the after picture...looks good!

Great Falls Roadtrip

Heading to Great Falls for Jacob's wedding...

 We made it!  Now we're just hanging out at the rehearsal dinner...

 Swimming at the hotel that night...

 The next morning, we all headed out for a hike around the river...

 Somehow, I ended up pushing Kaebree down the pathway, but I didn't mind at all...

 At the hotel for breakfast..Karen took this picture and sent it to me...

 We went shopping the rest of that day and then ate pizza at a little pizza place in town...

 Jaxon bought this hat, ball, and shirt...

 Here we are at the wedding...waiting for it to start...

 There's the happily married couple...

 At the reception...

 Me and Jax left the reception and walked down by the water for a picture before the sun went down...

 Kids in car ready to head home...

 Stopped at Taco Johns to eat...

 Had to get Jaxon a pizza since he won't eat tacos...

 Drove through Yellowstone Park on the way home...

 Saw a ton of elk in Mammoth...

 Jaxon thinks it's stinky...he's right, it is!

 Buffalo in the middle of the road...

 This was a picture of the happy couple that Raichel took and posted on her Facebook page...
