Uh Oh Cheerios!

This past weekend literally reminded me of the movie title, Four Weddings and a Funeral! We were soooo busy. We were scheduled to go to two Birthday parties and a wedding. But we only made it to one birthday party and the wedding. I had Saturday off, and I just wanted to chill at home with the boys. I hadn't gotten to do that in what seems like ages, in reality its properly been about a month. So we spent most of Saturday chilling at home and started getting ready for the wedding after their afternoon snack.

I had been washing dishes and heard, ca-thud, as something hit the floor. I turned around and saw this....

Easton munching on some Cheerios....

then Camden joined in..

Does it make a bad mother, that I let them to continue to do this while I finished washing the dishes??

Birthday Party

On Sunday, we went to Caleigh and Claires 4th Birthday Party! They had a swimming party at their house, but the boys opted to play on the slip and slide for a few minutes. And I forgot to get out my camera until after they had came in and changed clothes. But in all we had a great time!

The girls blowing out their candles...


Aunt Amy feeding them cake..

Easton all up his Aunt Ashleighs lap, while girls were opening presents..

And then Camden started making the rounds, it was almost as if he was looking for someone...

..then he found him!! This is Colton, Caleigh and Claires big brother! From what I hear, when Ashleigh keeps my boys, these two are pretty fond of each other!! So sweet!

Goin' to the Chapel, Gonna get Married!!!

Ummm , NOT me! Just in case someone thought that title was about me, just wanted to clear things up! HA!! The boys and I went to a family friends wedding, Saturday night in a neighboring town. It was just a small church wedding. It was done simple but beautiful, and the number one thing, the bride looked amazing!!!

Katie and Will standing at the alter....


Easton and Camden munched on their snacks through out the whole wedding. I was very impressed of how good they were!

Of course Kinsler and Amy were their!! My mom held Kinz through out the wedding..

And my cousin, Britt and Creed sat next to us to!! If you haven't already noticed, were a pretty tight nit family, we do just about everything together! HA

Sweet Easton was so good, didn't make a peep the whole time!

Camden, sweet? yeah umm, most of the time!!! wink wink!!

Remember this couple? Yep that's right, Johnathan is Katie's brother...

And finally the bride and groom walking down the isle!

CONGRATS KATIE AND WILL!!!!

Love you both!!

One Year Ago Today.......

... I took these pictures of the boys.. I couldn't believe how little they were!!!

Cam and East...

Sweet little Camden...

I love, love, love this smile on Easton...

Oh the memories!!!

Wordless Wednesday!!! (almost)

Easton got up extra early, and then woke Camden, so I put Easton in bed with Cam, along with their sippy cups of milk, and a few toys. I then went and started getting ready for work. This is what I found when I went to check on them about 30 minutes later... AWWWWW...

Day 2 and 3!!

DAY 2

The day started off with all of us at the cabin, slowing getting around and finally showing up at breakfast with the rest of the family around 9:30amish. We were suppose to be their at 8:30am. Yeah, well we didn't, and life goes on! Anyway, we had a wonderful breakfast and then decided to go down to the river.

You have to park in this little seclude open field type place and then haul ALL your stuff down to the river. I have never been so glad to have our wagon as I did on this trip!

Look at us! I mean, come on! We look like the Beverly hillbillies! HA! Brittany and I were bringing up the end of our group and we laughed the entire time!

we walked and walked and walked some more...

Here's my sweet little cousin, Creed!!!

the river at last!!! Were we went was the"gathering spot."

Easton, Robby and Emily playin...

Camden played in the water too. But someone (ME) had to take pictures of our day, and I had been playing with Camden in the river and so when I got, he had to get out. So anyway, I have no pictures of Camden in the river...Oh well..

Kinz in his pack and play. BIG kudos for my BIL for carrying that thing all the way from the car!!!

Everyone playing in the river...

another view..

All the folks watching other folks in their canoes and inter tubes come over the waterfall... This was quite hilarious at times!

We stayed a couple of hours at the river and then packed everything up and headed back to the cabin to get dinner going. Day 2 was by far was the funnest day!

DAY 3

We got up and ate breakfast on the deck and then started to pack everything all back up...

Robby called me in the bedroom and this is what I found. Cam was sacked out on the bed..

While *trying* to pack up the boys blankets, I turned my back for a mili second. By the time I turned back around, Hurricane Easton had already came through...

After we packed everything up, and before we headed home, we decided to go to one of our secret spots down in the park.

Emily and sleeping Cam...

awww...

The secret spot, isn't pretty??!!

It didn't take Cam no time to wake up and start playing in the water...

my attempt to get them in one shot...

splishin' and splashin'...

Amy and Kinz

Cam..

Emily and Camden...

Easton playing on the rocks...

East..

Easton and I...

My only good shot of them... I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture of them... Its my desktop picture here at work...

I am so glad that we went on this trip. We had such a good time. We all decided that next time we need to stay at least 3 nights, 2 was NOT enough!

2010 Family Camping Trip!

Day 1!!

A couple of months ago, my Meemaw suggested that we take a family camping trip, like we did way back when. (Way back when, I'm talking like 15 years ago!!). Any way we all thought it was GREAT idea, and got so excited!! My twin sister and I and our cousin, Brittany, immediately started looking at cabins to rent, because of our boys. They both have 5 month olds. And my Meemaw and Pappy have a motor home and then my Uncle Russell has a RV. So it was settled, we were going camping!!! We picked the weekend, booked the cabin, and packed for days and made sure everyone had a bed to sleep in since we had lots of folks going,Meemaw and Pappy, Uncle Russell and Kristy, Me and Robby and our 2 boys, Amy, Justin, Kinz and our cousin Brittany, Mike and Creed, and mine and Amy's little sister, Emily, and our Aunt Shannon and her 2 kids, Alyssa and Logan. And then Brittanys Dad, Uncle Sherrill stayed with Meemaw and Uncle Russells boys, our cousins, came up and stayed with Russell . Told ya, LOTS of folks!! (around 20 folks, give or take a couple! HA)

So last weekend, June 11th-13th was the BIG weekend in beautiful Broken Bow, OK. It was a weekend that I am ready to do all over again! We had such a great time.




This is what we pulled up too! The beautiful, Mountain Star.



They had seating like this all around the decks. The cabin was wrapped in decks!



Simply gorgeous. My boys had a total blast running and playing on these decks.



And we can't forget this. One of the "main" reasons we chose the cabin!




The pretty views from every angle of the decks.





The gorgeous layout of the cabin. This is really the only wide shot I took of the cabin. It was beautiful beyond words, and totally took all of our breaths away.



My little sister, Emily, found this chair, and fell right asleep, basically as soon as we got their. All of us pretty much lounged in this chair at one point. It was so comfortable. We all wanted to take it home with us!

We finally got settled in and fixed dinner and started to relax....

My boys eating a snack, waiting on dinner to be served! (just a side note, they both had been in the hot tub at this point, ran their little hearts out on the decks, and where pretty tired by the time this picture was taken!)

Kinz and Creed eating dinner!

While my boys were snacking, I took pictures of the arrangements in the cabin. I loved them all, and they were very inspiring. I feel a trip to Hobby Lobby coming on!!!

The one above was on the main table.

above the fire place...

on the end table...

Everyone joined us at our cabin for dinner on both nights. It was so great to have everyone come to us instead of us hauling the boys and everything, to the park where they were staying..

The master bath, was properly the prettiest room in the house... We all loved it, and took turns taking baths in the whirlpool bath!! But I think 2 little boys loved the bath more than anyone!!

After dinner, came our nightly bath. They didn't know what to think once we turned the jets on!!

I added a few drops of their bubble bath...

and they....

... had a blast!!!

This ends day 1 of our trip.. I will try to get the rest of our weekend up soon!

We had sooooo much fun!!!
