I took this picture on the way home. We had to stop and let the dog pee. This was up on the hill. I thought it was cool & wanted to share. 

Mothers Day

I had a wONDERful day! I can't believe I now have 2 children singing in primary. Luke was so cute. Cassidy was a great big sister who wouldn't leave his side. They held hands the whole time. I wanted to cry. It was hard holding back tears.

 Luke had a hard time after church, He made some mothers day  gifts in Sunbeams class, But they ran out of time and didn't get to finish. The teacher told them they will next week. But that was not OK with him. He cried, he was so excited that he got to make something special for me and wanted to give it. The teacher made him happy by giving him some candy that he could give to me. Of course he later ate it. 

After church we went up to the lake house to take measurements and pictures. We also used that time to drive around & see her school, shops, etc. It was such a beautiful warm day we got to have a great family fun time on the Beach. It was a time we will never forget.

The water was already nice. I will enjoy getting wet later. We were told that the water will get in the mid 70's or higher.  NICE!

On the way down to the beach. Abe almost stepped on large snake. It was very hard to see. Man they blend in well. This picture was only 1/2 of his body. He went down his hole very fast.

The sand was a blast. The kids thought it was so fun to sink and get stuck. I will admit it was pretty fun.  Especially when daddy had to come and rescue. John did not follow directions very well when we told the kids to take off their shoes. He lost one crock under the mud. I was happy Abe noticed and then went back and found it in one of the littlest footprints. 

After we were all funned out, We washed off on the boat ramp. Even Precious. We lost another crock there. This time it was Lukes, It washed away in a wave. Once again Big Daddy came to the rescue.  Like all children, water means swimming, even if mom says NO. All the children had to ride home Butt Naked. HAHAHAHA. (well, john had a diaper on, I didn't want Pee on my seats)

Demo day.

Today was a boat demo day. I'm so glad that it was a BEAUTIFUL day.  Much better then last Thursday. Our legs got to see the sun. 
This is not the boat we will get. Ours is blue not red. Everything else is the same. 
Abe is very happy with this one. It drives the best out of all the boats so far.
While Abe and JD were wiping down the boat, The kids had a good time throwing mud & rocks, & getting dirty. Good daddy cleaning them off before they get in the car.

Baby Powder

So this morning I got up before the kids. After eating breakfast with Cassidy & Jalisa. All was still quiet so I thought they were still asleep. Until I saw this. 

I had Just that bottle of baby powder the other day. Boy am I glad Abe talked me into the cheap store brand and the small bottle. John Used it all. Nothing was left inside.

His legs were as white as his onesie. Even after dusting him off and taking off his clothes He still Looked like Casper.

I got it all cleaned up with Jalisa's help (thank you Jalisa) We had a good laugh from all of this. My room was like a cloud. I could taste the powder. everything got dusty. 

After I was all done and ready to get in the shower to I noticed that even my Eyelashes were white. Between my toes, It was a morning to go in the books that for sure. 

At least it was better the yesterday. The boys found a water gun. and decided to have a water fight yesterday upstairs in the hall. Mommy was not to happy with that one. Parts of my carpet are still wet.
