More fun VIDEOS!!!

Alyssa got a fishing pole for her birthday as you may have already read. She is getting good at casting it! THe rubber fish on the end helps. It's so fun watching her do it!

Also on her birthday her and some friends got to play in the sprinkler. Lyss was kinda timid about it an when she would get in it she would shield her eyes so they did get water in them. Hallie on the other hand was a crazy girl in them! She loves playing in water.

My BIG 4 Year Old!!!!

I can't believe my little Lyssie is 4! She looks so old in that top picture. So Lyss had a pretty special day I think.....It started with PRESENTS! She seemed excited with her presents which is always a relief because so many times I'll get something thinking she'll love it and she 's not that excited about it. He biggies were a scooter...." a princess scooter with 2 wheels".......to be exact. I couldn't believe I actually found just that at Kmart! THen she's been asking for a princess fishing pole for a while now so we found one of those! She wanted oranges for breakfast, and we went to McDondalds for lunch. Then she got to play with a friend in the sprinkler....yes! finally warm enough to be in the sprinkler!... We had dinner and cake with some friemds this evening and she is currently at a Sweets baseball game with Jake and some friends. I love this SASSY girl so much! She is so helpful with with Hallie and I don't know what I'll do next fall when she starts preschool and is gone for 3 hours a day, 3 days a week! Some of her faorites are:

~ GOOD LUCK CHARLIE...a TV show on Disney.

~ POPSICLES.....the tubey ones!

~ BEING OUTSIDE W/ FRIENDS!

~ FRUIT....basically any kind!

~ GOING TO SEE DAD AT WORK

What We've been up to.......

Well the first thing I've been up to is breaking my camera! BOOOOOO! I dropped right on the lense when it was open. The funny thing.....I guess....Is that Jake did the same thing to our last camera. We shall never own a super expensive camera!

But what we've been up to.....this last Monday me and the girls got back from our super road trip. 6 states......WA, OR, ID, MT, ND, and WY.......and 3 time zones.....We made it back in one piece. It was such a fun trip to go to my sister's new house in ND and see where/what its like! It was a beautiful area with an oil well righ out their window. One of my other sisters went to  so it was alot of fun with lots of family. On our way out there, we stayed in Bozeman....me and my sister w/ 6 kids. So I got to the hotel before her and went in to see if there were rooms for us. The girl working asked how many adults in each room....1......how many kids in each room.....4.......HOW did 2 adults get stuck traveling with 8 kids!!!? She ended up giving me the AAA discount even though neither of us have AAA because "2 adults traveling with 8 kids deserve a break somewhere!" Hey I'm cool with that! The girls both slept sooooo well the whole time we were gone and the trip was so good that I'm counting down the days till our next one!

We have had some nicer weather and today we played kickball and had a BBQ with friends. ANd it looks like we're gonna have some nice weather for a while!

SOmeday when we ever get a new camera, I'lll put some pics on!
