Look at this Super cute girly. She is covered in sour cream and looking so cute.




Just look at these mountains! So beautiful, and so much fun to go to. Jude is always asking to go to the mountains and it is hard to say No. It is such a treat to run around and get fresh air and let the kids get out their wiggles.


Kids can't resist a puddle.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!!! Derek's actual birthday was on a Monday which in adult terms means super busy. So I decided to take Derek out to his favorite resturant the Saturday before his birthday. This is us just being silly and fun. We are just such a cute couple of kids!
 Then Derek and I went inside our car and had our "cake." It was a peanut buttercup(Derek's favorite) complete with candle. I gave Derek his present (a booksmart book of sentimental value  I had been working on since January!) All in all it was pretty fun for an adult birthday. We love you Derek!!

What's with that wierd face Derek? You are making that whole canned Chicken look unappetizing. So much Yuck!
BEES!!! BEES!! SO MANY BEES! The kids and I were out recycling and we saw an oddity of nature that we couldn't resist getting up close and dangerous with. There were so many bees. I have never seen them do something like this and I have no idea what they were up o but they were dedicated. They weren't going to move for anyone. The bees were kind of creepy but what really scared me was how close Jude and Alice were willing to get. They have no fear. Luckily no one got stung and it was just a super cool random wonder.















UGH!!!! This is probably one of the most boneheaded thing I have ever done. Ok so here is the story. I found a recipe for home made laundry deterget online and thought I would give it try. You are suppose to disolve a bunch of ingredients in a pot and then let it sit overnight. I had done the first step, or at least I thought I had. I saw that it hadn't quite disolved yet. It was time for bed so I decided to turn the heat back on while I was brushing teeth and what not and then turn it off before I went to bed. yeah....that last part never happened. I left it on ALL NIGHT...ugh! It made such a mess. SUCH A MESS! It fell down into the elements, and then flooded that and dripped into the oven. Soap everywhere!When I woke up in the morning it was the first thing I smelled. So much swearing. I used all the swears, every last one. I should have put all that soap in my mouth but I was so mad at myself. And this stuff was a *beep* to clean up. It had boiled over and hardened durig the night. It took me almost 2 hours to get it off. Not since that oven was purchased from the store has it been this clean. UGH!!!
