campout!!

Picture it...[cue spooky music & Haloween voice] It was a hot dry desert night... the kids were bored, mom and dad were tired. When all of a sudden from the darkness emerged.... "The Red Demon".... lol!!

Drayden was having so much fun scaring us... he would jump out and say boo, he would try to think up scary stories... I thought it was adorable!!


He even got daddy spooked ;) while he was setting up the tent trailer for us.


Here we are getting ready to roast up some marshmallows to make smores!! yummy! If you have been living under a rock and don't know the best way to make smores, I will tell ya,
Get the Keebler fudge stripe cookies, (way less mess, and still super delicious)... Roast the mallow, grab two cookies and squish it all together..


Me and my mallow, I am so excited here because I allowed myself to cheat on my diet. See I have the raised eyebrows, the fixed smile and those crazy eyes, trying not to make contact with the sugary goodness that is just inches away. After not having any sugar for quite some time you can bet I devoured this sucker once it was all golden brown... sugar has never tasted so good.





Chantel and her double mallows [cue crocodile hunter voice] a rare shot of this wild beast in her natural habitat... Careful not to get too close, you might disturb her, and trust me you DONT want that!! This creature can get very angry if you interupt her feeding time. lol




Dray~diggety~dog and his double mallows. [plus his wicked cool personality ;)]




Brittany shoving a mallow up her nose... lol.... just kidding, it does look like it though huh?



Daddy lighting my fire... [waggling eyebrows] er um I mean the Campfire, right the campfire...
Why do we not have a fire ring you may ask?? Do we not practice safe camping skills??



Well my friends, we went camping in our own front yard, thats right!! Cause movies and gas are expensive and hanging out with your family is FREE!! (minus the $3 we spent on smores)
Would you rather go see a movie or would you rather create the kind of memories that make you and your kids look back and laugh when you say...
"Remember the time when we......"

Summer Rewind

I love looking back at pictures of my kiddos. I love to remember all of the sticky summer days, filled with popsicles and cotton candy. I love the dirty toes and the sound of fireworks.

I love the giggles, and the long nights filled with games and bbq. I love hanging out with friends and helping my kids find the big dipper in the stary sky.

I love the love that summer brings, and I hope to never forget these times. Truely we are having the time of our lives..... have a safe 4th of July!!
