Silly Kids

Okay so I have officially decided that my kids are dorks and that should say it all. I found them the other night in Patton's room they had taken the mattress off his toddler bed and put it on the floor and climbed underneath the bottom sheet. Addilee told me mommy look we are camping this is our tent. I laughed so hard and thought it was so cute that I couldn't even be upset with them for tearing the bed apart. I couldn't believe that they would even think to use that as a tent or even know it could make one. I am surprised by how smart kids are especially mine. I love them so much. Life couldn't be more enjoyable at my house without them.

Bike riding

So Ben decided that it was time Addilee learned how to ride her bike with out training wheels. I was very worried and afraid that she wouldn't be able to ride it and would crash and fall down. Well little to my dismay she did GREAT!!! She just took off with little to no help and surprisingly enough she didn't even crash. I was very surprised and so happy for her. She does really great. She has a hard time starting herself but it will come the more she can ride she will only get better. I am so proud of her and can't believe how fast she is growing up.

Captain Patton

Okay so for those of you who don't know Ben bought a boat. He has been wanting one so he finally found one that he wanted and he bought it. I on the other hand was not very happy and still have mixed feelings about it but oh well what is done is done. Anyways we have taken the kids out tubing and fishing a few times. And Patton has decided that he is the captain and will not let any one else drive. He throws this huge fit as little kids do because he thinks he needs to drive or help daddy drive. He is so cute when he is driving and loves the heck out of it. When he drives my himself he just turns the wheel so all we do is go in circles which is fine the first time around but after awhile it makes me sick. Addilee is always wanting to drive and she has a few times but for the most part Patton gets his way because his daddy lets him. I have a picture of Addilee driving and a picture of Aspen in her life jacket. We have lots of fun and enjoy every minute of it.

We went camping for memorial day weekend we went up to the Enterprise reservoir. We camped from Friday to Monday. There was Ben and I and our kids, Ben's brother D.J. his wife and kids, three guys that Ben works with and their families. We had quite the crowd but it was lots of fun. And no drama what a miracle. Ben just bought a boat a couple of weeks ago so we took it up with us. The weather was good enough that we took it out to mostly play on the water. Some went fishing but mostly just play. The water was cold but it was a nice day the day we all went and took turns out on the water whether it be tubing or knee boarding. The kids had lots of fun playing with the other kids, playing in the water, climbing on the rocks, camping period.

Their was tons of people up there they were everywhere. I couldn't believe it I don't think I have ever seen that many people up there all at once. Even though there was so many people we still had lots of fun. We had four wheelers to ride, the boat to play on, fishing, climbing on the rocks mostly the kids did that though, and lots and lots of visiting. I think the kids mostly enjoyed riding on the four wheelers at least the older ones anyways. They had a dirt path dug down from the tires they rode them so much. It was tons of fun and everyone enjoyed themselves.
