Happy 4th of July

I have so many great memories of the 4th, it is the only holiday that the whole family on my moms side gets together. It starts on Friday night where we get to enjoy delicious dutch oven cooking of fried chicken, potatoes, beans and biscuits, homemade ice cream and of course many desserts. After that we get to enjoy the kids perform what ever they want, and this year we got to enjoy my Grandad and Uncle Todd sing some of our favorite ol songs. All the kids sleep outside whether it is on a trampoline, the back of trucks or the lawn, then it is up at 4:00 am to the sound of the anvil , then every one piles into vehicles to follow the parade around Taylor to wake everyone up. Back to Grandma and Grandads to eat breakfast, clean up and then home for a long nap.
Sorry no pics, but I hope every one enjoyed their 4th, and for the family that couldn't make we sure did miss you!

The Weather

Any body else enjoying this summer so far? Not me I wish the wind would stop blowing and that it would get warm so that my kids could actually go outside and play in the water. Instead we are all still suck in side hidding from it all.

Where Did May Go

Wow that month flew by, the month of May is so crazy for us between Mothers day, B-Days, Anniversary and the end of school.

For Mothers Day this year my sisters, mom and I all went to the valley, where we ate, shopped, swam and you can't forget the pedicures. (sorry no pics)

For my Birthday / Our 7th Anniversary Cliff and I went to the valley for 4 days, no kids and no hurry to be any where we really enjoyed our selves. That was the first time in 4 years that we went somewhere alone it was much needed and not to mention that Cliff is feeling really well and can do more than he could, so I was able to drag him around the stores with me. (sorry no pics)

Kaylyn had a great last week of school, although she does miss her teacher. She had track and field which was hilarious to watch and then they did a kindergarten graduation it was so cute, they did the chicken dance and got there diplomas.

Kaylyn also turned 6 wow time does fly. We just had a little party at the park with cake and ice cream.

Cliff Returned to Work !!!!!!

Yesterday he went in for 3 hrs and today he went in at noon. He is just working in the office but hey at least it is work. He still has a lot of pain he is dealing with so he take a few brakes and goes and lays down in the car for a little bit. I'm so proud of him and how well he is handling things.
I'm at home alone with the girls of course, it is weird. but one thing is for certain is how much he did to help out with the girls. Taylee does nothing but stay on my heels and whine she just wants me to hold her all the time. Kaylyn has a harder time doing what I say, she is always good and listening to her dad. I know this is going to have to be another adjustment for me and the girls to get back to how things were before, but we'll get there.

The Ultrasound revealed

That our third baby will be a GIRL!!!!!!!! we kind of had a hunch that it was another girl, but we are excited to see what this one will be like because Kaylyn and Taylee are like night and day. Plus I don't have to re due Taylee's room that I have been working on, Taylee can just move in with Kaylyn and the baby in Taylee's room with no more painting. The only problem we are having is coming up with another girl name, oh well though we still have awhile to figure that out.
