Day 181

Hunter spent most of the day with Nana and Grandpa and had some fun bike adventures and new bruises and scrapes to prove it. I totally forgot to take pics of him until after he was bathed and was sitting at the counter playing cars : ) I have several pics of him making crazy faces...but got two of him not looking too whacko : )

Ella had an end of the year Girl Scout party at our friends house....this pic was too funny to me not to include. I get this face at least 10 times an hour : )

Eating lunch...Ella would be the one with translucent skin and a hat!

Ella and "Dude" (the 2 year old) were the only ones brave enough to lay down in the cold water and Ella loves anyone smaller than her to boss around. This little "Dude" was quite happy to play with Ella and kept calling her his "friend, Ella." So cute!!!

Day 180

Us girls, me, mom and Ella went shopping today and Hunter stayed with Grandpa!! Hunter invited himself to sleepover, lol, so mom had to take a picture for me and email it to me! Thanks mom!!!! Here is Hunter in his too small jammies at Nana and Grandpa's house!!!!

When Daddy got home from work he had his new hat for the honor guard and of course Ella wanted to try it on. She immediately pretended to be Cailou (the show) when he was pretending to be a traffic control officer...so here is Ella blowing her imaginary whistle!!!

Day 179

The weather finally was summer like today and we went to our friend Casey's beach on the lake! It is so incredibly nice out there!! The kids all had a blast as usual and the women had good conversations : )

Hunter, Isali and Jonathan jumping off the dock.

Cannon Ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunter kayaking.  He sure is good at it, paddles all around!

Lunch anyone?  One of the kids dumped these at me feet...yuck.

Ella taking a turn kayaking...really Juanito is pulling her around in the shallow end but I was impressed by her paddling skills : )

My girl love playing in the sand!!!!!!!!!!!

/a>

Day 178

We went to the park today with some of our good friends! We had a picnic and then played! Hunter kept telling me to spin him faster and faster..... and I warned him....

This is what happened, lol!!!  He of course thought it was hilarious!

Ella had fun jumping on the "bounce-o-lean"

And running through the splash pad with her friends

Happy girl : )

Day 177

Today was very rainy and didn't get out of the low 50's. It was kind of nice to have a stay at home, and inside day. But, the kids were not happy that horse back riding therapy got canceled : ( Hunter was pretty disgruntled all day and sat around playing the IPad, computer, and Ds.

Ella enjoyed her IPad time though : )

Day 176

My sweet boy and his fake smile, lol. I think he is cute anyway : )
Ella has been saying for several days that she wants "pink hair," so I figured what the heck!


She loves it!!!



Beautiful girl!!

Day 175

We had another fun outside day at Nana's today. I didn't think the boys could get any dirtier but boy did they prove me wrong!!!!


Ella blowing bubbles at me...

And Brice too : )

Day 174

We went over to Nana's today to hang out. The kids had lots of fun outside!!!
The boys playing in the dirt lot across from mom's
Ella and Brice played in the water table
Hunter and Cody did a lot of jumps in the dirt : )

Ruby came too!!!

Day 173

We went out to Coeur d'Alene today with Nana and my sister's family. It was hot and we had fun!!!

We started out with a picnic, then played on a playground, walked around the lake, ate frozen yogurt, did a little shopping, went to Cabella's and the ate dinner at Red Robins.  Now we are very tired : )

Day 172

Hunter spent the night last night at Nana's and played with his cousin Cody all day today and had a blast! He is one tired boy tonight!!! He found his shark's tooth necklace and somehow got it on his head but then had a really hard time getting off, lol!!!!
Ella had t-ball pictures and a game today. We had to be at the field an hour early and of course it was the hottest day so far!! Luckily there was some shade to sit in while waiting for her game to start!



Running the bases and smiling at her adoring fans (aka Nana!)


And I couldn't resist posting a pic of her in her nightgown....just so sweet!

Day 171

Today we all went to see Madagascar 3 and I think "Afro circus afro circus polka dot polka dot polka dot AFRO" may forever be stuck in my brain!!! LOL

Day 170

We are home now from our fun trip to Silver Mountain. We all had a great time but the kids...they had a blast!!! We got to spend today at the water park after we checked out of the hotel! 3 days at a waterpark makes for some tired kids...especially Ella she was quite wore down but that didn't stop her from having fun!

Ella loves swimming to Bubba in the lazy river!
