Grow Up!

I'm in "grow up mode". I took the side rail off both cribs today, hoping that the twins will do okay with it. In a perfect world they will stay in bed when I want them to. Haha. Well, we'll see how that goes. They are at about the age where they will start climbing out of their cribs soon anyway...

When I laid them down for a nap today they stayed in bed and went to sleep as planned. When they woke up, they climbed out of bed and started playing. 

I think they liked their freedom. Bedtime was the same too... they stayed in bed and went to sleep. So far, so good.

Hobo Dinners in Avon

It's Memorial Day weekend. Brandon didn't get any time off work except for Sunday of course. So we hurried and packed up some fast hobo dinners after church today. We wanted to go spend some time in the mountains. We usually have all 6 kids on Sundays, but not this time... just our 3 little ones.

We drove up to Avon cause we love it there. Paisley and Emmy like to sit in their little chairs.

Then they tried out the big chairs.

Willie wanted to hang out in the back of the truck.

Brandon turned on a Chris Ledoux CD and Will started dancing with the ketchup!

LOL... silly Willie.

We forgot the tongs, but he found a nice stick to turn our hobo dinners with. :)

Daddy is a monkey.

Will is in awe of his father. haha. Emmy thinks she can do it too.





Paisley is in "Daddy mode" where she just has to have him hold her no matter what! Our dinner was probably done cooking in the fire, but she would not let him put her down. And she didn't want me.

Whoa! Hold on Paisley!

LOL... the only place she could go was his back and hope that she held on tight.

Dinner is ready and I don't know how she hung on, but she did. Haha. 

The hobo dinners were very good! The twins really like cooked carrots. Weird... but that's good. They must take after their Dad. :) We ate and cleaned up to head over to the reservoir.

Me and the kids rode in the back cause it is a short ride... UNLESS you have Paisley screaming and rolling around having a tantrum... then it's a very long ride. It was bumpy... :) Me, Will, and Emmy liked it back there. I think Paisley still wanted her Daddy.

All was good when we hopped out of the truck. The kids love to throw rocks in the water.

Brandon found Paisley a big rock for her to throw...

...over she goes...

...plop. Yay!

What a stud.

The water was so calm. It was gorgeous.

Brandon always skips the rocks.

We caught Will and Emmy throwing rocks at these poor ducks. No! No!

Awe... enjoying the view together...

Will ran up the hill to the truck and was waving to us. :)

Will found a little toy car by the water. They are buckled in and we're heading home. 

Will agrees we had lots of fun.

Heather & Chad's Wedding

Gavin (Heather's son) and Kevin (her Dad) walk the bride to her groom.

Saying I do's...

Kissing the bride...

Exchanging rings...

Yay! Applause from everyone!

Chad & Heather with Mitzi & Russ

A big hug for Grandma Mary Ann.

Grandpa Kevin gave the kids fish food to throw in the pond.

Emmy got Brandon to take her shoes off so she could run around. He said they were hurting her.

Emmy feeds the fish too.

There was a turtle on a log.

It's our turn to congratulate and give hugs. :)

Heather tried to talk to Emmy but Emmy made sure she didn't let go of my arm. LOL. She is SUCH a Mama's girl.

Heather is Brandon's sister. I've loved this girl from day 1. Heather is an amazing person. I love seeing her so happy! She deserves it. Heather is always a happy person anyway, but today is extra special for sure. 

Brandon and his swanky (for a day) Dad, Kevin. :) Kevin wears overalls everyday for work, so I love seeing him in a top hat. Haha.

The twins run in a circle threw the trees... over an over...



Paisley and Emmy love animals. Heather's poor dog, Beau... the twins followed him around.

Kristin was there to make sure they didn't poke Beau's eyes or something. Haha... cause they would!

Heather borrowed her friends pearl earrings and lost one. But it's OK, she found it in her cleavage. LOL... ohmygosh... that's too funny. Grandma Dixie got a kick out of that!

4 generations - Grandma Dixie, Mitzi, Heather and Gavin.

Heather and her Dad

Heather's cute wedding flip flops. They are silky and comfy. :)

Congrats you two!
