I know what your thinking...

Cute right?

Well guess what?

I can't stand these little things.

We have had about a million of them in the rock walls in our backyard! They have eaten ALL of my beautiful mother's day flowers and I am over it! For 3 weeks we have been catching them and letting them go FAR FAR AWAY! We caught

(what we think) is the last dang baby tonight in a net while we cooked dinner! I was so excited! My poor grass by their burrow is all but gone! All we need to do is (poison) I mean catch the mom and we are golden!

She's BACCCCK!

So it sounds like Trek was fun! She didn't have to kill and pluck a chicken...so that's good. She came home with a pretty good tan - ON HER NOSE! We are so glad she is back, we sure missed her. Glad she was able to go experience this, but also glad she came home in one piece!

She's one classy kid!

Thanks Grandma Joyce for helping my sweet little girl be TRASHY!

Pioneer children sang as they walked and walked and walked...

Kennedy left early this morning for the Youth Pioneer Trek. Her outfits were right on (thanks Grandma Joyce) and her hair was braided and her mother was a blubbering idiot! All of that should equal a good time. Can't wait to hear all about it. Apparently they walk 5 miles the first day, 10 miles the next day and 5 on the last day! What an amazing experience this is for her!

Raindrops and Rainbows!

Don't you just love a good rainstorm followed by sun and a rainbow? I do! We had fun playing in the rushing water and trying to soak mommy as she took pictures! Silly kids - don't you know I control the water temp when you take a shower?

When I was a kid my sisters and I used to play in puddles after a rainstorm, we would use the gutter as a waterslide for our barbies! We were soooo cool!

Oh she was just a splashin away...love this kid!

This one just wanted to play "float the stick" so we weren't so interested in stopping to take pictures...hello does she not know who I am?

Total splash pro! Wonder if he could make money doing this someday?

Love the boots? Me too! She puts them on herself...glorious!

Today is her Day!

Yipeee! Our little Rylee was baptized today! What a special day!
