We spent monday of the weekend with my dad. this last weekend was sydnees batch party i took the kids camping for the first time by myself friday night daddy picked them up saturday morning and i had my first night away from konner. 2 1/2 years it took me. anyways here are some pictures of the party and camping and playing at home. have a good rest of the week

We are home. We had a wonderful trip to AZ. Konner was so excited to get on the airplane. Even though we sat in the airport for 6 hours waiting for the plane, engine trouble. We got there4 1/2 hours late. We had a family BBQ on saturday with my grandparents and my cousin and his wife. We haven't seen my grandparents for 6 months and my cousin for almost 3 years. Konner, Chase and i went to the Zoo and we went to the park where they have a mini real train so we rode that great place to take the kids if you are going to Phx AZ. It is called McCormic Park, Wonderful place for kids. We also went to jasons dads house for a weekend while we were there. Although we had a wonderful time, 12 days is a long time away from home with 2 little kids by yourself. We made it but i dont recomend going on a trip with 2 kiddos by yourself. Have a Wonderful week.

WE have Grass...

Well we finally have grass. Now i just have to keep it watered. We put a bix box out with railroad ties for a swing set that we bought for the kids it should be here in a week or so. That little gocart thing laid the sodd it came in 4' wide rolls by 100'long we had a yard in about 3hrs. I got our trees planted on sunday, i left the kids inside napping while i planted because we all got sunburned on saturday laying the sodd. The picture of chase, he fell asleep in the jumper while we ate dinner. He was a tired little cupcake. Anyway when we get our swingset we will have everyone over for a play day at our house. We are waiting for grandpa and grandma carlson to come for the weekend, they are up from AZ so we are so excited to spend the weekend with them. Have a wonderful week.

Working Outside and In...

This last weekend my dad came over and graded out where our yard is going to be. So We hope to be laying sod this saturday. It will be so nice to have grass instead of dirt. Sydnee and parker came over for a short visit on saturday. Not much else is new or exciting in our house, i am just glad we don't have the "crap" that is going around.

Long Week...

We have had a busy week. We went to yakima on tuesday, we lit bug bombs in our house we had gnats bad. Tuesday evening we went to bremners house the boys roped steers. Oh on monday we went to the eye doc. Chase had a check up, they are free to check for some different things that can effect them when they get older, if you get them checked before there first bday. But my little munchkin fell asleep, so we will have to go back. Thursday we had a play day at bremners house the weather was perfect. When we came home konner and i played outside and cleaned the garage and got some things ready to lay sod. Yeh we might have a yard someday. The baby picture is Bodie Crites. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

chics...

These are my cousins from yakima sarah and stephanie. It was there mom and dad's 25th anniversary. Hope i make it that long. With a lot of hard work i guess i can. Today I took Konner and chase to ranch and home for chic day. Konner had a wonderful time. We brought home 4 chics, but they are going to gerry and katys house they have a chicken coupe. Daddy didn't get to go because he had a meeting for work he couldn't miss. To bad daddy misses all the fun around here. Have a wonderful weekend.

Easter Weekend

Well easter was fun konner loved the basket he got, we are trying to teach him the concept of golfing. not working to well. But he loves to try and set it up. Then Angie and Jamie came over with there 3 girls and I cooked a ham and potatoes, greenbeans and rolls. Then we played sene it disney edition, great game. We went to dinner at the starlight on friday night with our friends Jon and Meghan. I let loose and had a few lemon drop martini's, oh man were they yummy. Easter morning before the wind we went for a horseback ride konner rode his oun horse, i led him but he is a terrific rider. We are going to yakima late this afternoon, it is my cousins 25th wedding anniversary. Have a good week.

Just some cute pics...

Sitting UP!...

Finally chase is able to sit up. He couldn't because he is kinda top heavy. We are getting ready for easter, did our grocery shopping today, very smart fred meyer was not busy at all. Konner has figured out how to use my camera so every once in a while we get a good picture. The picture of konner holding a picture is of his grandma's dog sophie, he loves her. He has been carring it around because we are going to visit grandma in AZ in a few weeks. Me and 2 kids on an airplane by myself uh oh. Hope everyone has a good easter weekend.

Busy Busy Busy....

We have been doing alot of things and alot of nothing. Konner had a Mommy day, he and I went to seattle to the aquarim. He absolutley loved it. Getting to put your hands in water and touch everthing is great fun for a 2 year old. Chase is getting big. He is 8 months and at 6 months weighed as much as konner did at 9 months. A football player, maybe? Konner has been riding his pony everyday that it is nice. He rides bareback to the mail box and back. We have another horse rider in our family. We have been trying to work on our yard, yeah right. The rain and weather keep us from dong that job. We need to have grass for the kids to play in. Mud sucks. We have planted a couple trees in the flower beds to keep me thinking i am getting something done around here. The picture in the pool is at Aburey Knudson's 1st birthday party. Konner loved the pool. He can't wait to fly on the airplane to get to grandmas Pool. Hope everyone is well I will try to be better at this.
