Family Vacation 2013

 
 This was the inside of the cabin. Pretty roomy for a family of 5!

 
 Me and Josh! On a vacation! We haven't seen one of those since July 2009!

 
 The great and wonderful children on our way to our hike. I think we are the only family that hikes in flip flops!

 
 Enjoying the scenery!

 
 The kiddos again. They love to climb stuff and have NO fear of heights!

 
 Enjoying his down time. Even though he gets 2 weeks off after working 2 weeks, I still put him to work when he's home. I'm glad he was able to take us on such a great vacation and even more so that we were able to create the memories we did.

 
 Part of the lake. One of the days we were there we rented a Pontoon. And let me be the first to say....IT WAS A BLAST!

 
 Daddy and Jaxon. Father and son time at its finest!

 
 The girls. Who knew exactly what to do when it was time to kick back and have a great time!

 
 The tube we had to buy in order to go tubing! They didn't rent them out so we are stuck with it. All the more reason to keep going to the lake. We don't have any water around where we live.

 
 The campfire. The much anticipated fire that would NOT stay lit. We tried to make smores, but the wood was too damp from previous rains, plus its very humid there!

 
 And the fire was gone and this little boy had to use the bathroom apparently!

 
Until next time. The sounds of the summer that this place holds in our hearts. We will enjoy going every summer from here on out. It was by far the most relaxing place this momma needed to just breath and get away from home and daily routines and chores and bills and the telephone!

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...

Where did September GO?!

My son was looking at the calendar the other day. Trying to count how many days to Halloween, he turns around and looks at me and says...."Where the heck did September GO?!" I laughed and said you are too young to worry about where the time is going! But yea I have no idea where it went. It seems like my post here lately is dwelling on where all the time went. Its definitely going by fast! And it doesn't help when every other post on Facebook is counting down to Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! Geez people can we just get thru the first 6 weeks of school?! Speaking of school i have a a rant about the system. Or the lack there of anyway: I remember being disciplined in school. If I broke a rule I was sent to the office where my mom was already waiting for me. (Didn't help that she worked at my elementary school) but still. So not only did the principal lecture me about how talking in class and being disruptive was disrespectful, I had to get an ear full from...
