My week off

Ok so it has been awhile since I posted. Here are a few pictures to catch up. I had 4th of July off from work which was really nice. We started off in the morning with the local parade which was a lot of fun. I don't think I have ever seen that many people in our tiny little town before. It was suppose to be Tob's day off however as you can see they needed someone to drive around smoky! He, He, He.

Here are the kids in great anticipation of Dad or smoky, I am not for certain! Notice Lex with her easter basket.... oh and she carried her own chair from home even though we walked to the parade. She was pretty sure the curb wasn't good enough and then the chair wasn't even used. Oh well, she carried it and didn't complain :0) After the Parade we went to a BBQ for the evening. At about 7:30 there was a HUGE lightning and thunder storm with cracks and booms louder then the fireworks at the lake. The storm was an amazing show in itself. At about 8:30 or so we headed up to the lake. I think we were up there for about an hour and a half before the fireworks started at 10pm but they were worth it. They did a great job this year.

The next day we went and watched one of Jake's All Star games. They did a great job! It was nice to be able to watch the game. I miss being able to see the boy's games.

Then on Monday the 6th we just spent the day doing fun stuff, kids choice. Hiking, biking, eating ice cream, reading books and just spending mom/kid time. It was great. They have now designated every 6th of each month FUN DAY! We'll see if they remember next month. The next day we went up to the river and had a picnic with the neighbors. The kids played around, we visited, and the dogs roamed aimlessly. Above is a picture of Lex with her skirt on up in the woods. Doesn't appear to bother her at all.

Here is the mischievous 4 some after lunch the day of the picnic! I turned 29 on Tuesday the 8th and got to go up to Anthony Lakes and ride do some mountain biking with some friends. It was great. Tob had to work so when I go home the kids and I made dinner and made myself a cake, which, I must say we did a splendid job on. Then on Thursday I started my week back to work. The kids are out on the slip and slide right now and I am a little jealous, but, the box says I AM TOO BIG. I really want to try it, but it provides easy entertainment and I shouldn't ruin that. Anyway, just a little boring catch-up post.
