Silverwood Vacation

Image
By
We had a great time over in Idaho for our annual family vacation. We hauled the trailer and a truck full of kids over 4 hours to Farragut State Park near Athol, ID and camped and hung out and probably the most favorite part of the trip was going to the theme park Silverwood and the attached waterpark called Boulder Beach. The weather was a perfect 75 degrees and everyone seemed to have a blast. 

Lincoln's first chili cheese fries

Family Picture (there was a clear raft behind us, normally we don't make Danielle stand so far away)

Running off to play on the slides

Ready to ride some real rides with Garfield

Kids soaked after riding a river ride, Shane got great pleasure soaking people on the rides with quarters in a little machine, our kids included.

Blurry but we ate pizza and watched a magic show at the same time, this picture was taken seconds before the giant parrot squawked and Lincoln started screaming, notice the eye contact they have...

Lincoln watching through the bars for everyone to come down the log ride

Finally Shane gets payback for spraying other people, seconds later they were sprayed, camera just wasn't cooperating with me!

So sweet together :)

Gorgeous day for a family trip

Do's and Don'ts of Birthdays and Parties

By
My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year).  Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...

Blending In, Lazy Fall Days and a Birthday Too

By
 I have a picture of Dylan taking a nap in Daddy's camouflage a year or two ago. This year I thought it would be fun to get one of Lincoln in the same pile of clothes. I love how all three of these were taken within a few seconds of each other but his facial expressions are so different.  Today when Dylan got home from school he was grumpy and said he didn't feel too well so he zonked out for a nap on the couch while I also got Lincoln down for a nap too. Danielle stayed after school for some help so I actually got part of dinner ready and cleaned out the dish washer. Of course I didn't get to finish this before the little one woke up, but hey I had a small moment of silence complete with a picture of a one handed baby and a little boy turning into a little man with a little smear of pink frosting on his cheek from a girls' birthday party at kindergarten. Danielle is 17 today! I can hardly believe it. This picture was taken a week or two ago by Danielle's frien...

Well what do you think? Pretty close for doing it myself! I got my hair cut professionally a few weeks ago and decided that I still wanted to go shorter and finally today was the day. Dylan got a buzz cut and the dog is next, watch out!
