Ahh the dog days of summer!

Okay...our summer has been super busy.
Sometimes I feel bad for my kids because
usually I get the question of where are we
going today and what are we doing followed by
a groan. A lot of it has been way fun but I
feel like I have dragged them all over the state.
Here are just a few things we have been up
to. Enjoy and strap in this is a long one.



Just after the 4th we had Grandma Waymans
Birthday. Avery and Grandma have the same
birthday just 80 years apart. Avery just turned
5 so you do the math. Here is Grandma with some
of the Great-Grandkids dishing up cake. YUM!
P.S. I think my mom (Libby) was more excited
then the kids check out the clapping action.



Camping with the Wayman Brood! Oh what
fun. It was great to have everyone get together
with good food and just overall good family times.
I must complain a little it was WAY HOT! But still
WAY FUN!



Day 2 of camping we couldn't take much more
of the heat. The babies were fussy and we were
roasting so we headed down to the river for some
fun. Here is Sydnee and Aaron hanging out in the
river.



Ron was taking the kids out and letting them surf
the current. The would hang on tight to Ron and we would
let the water drag them down the current. They loved IT!
Here is Alyssa having a blast!



Kami snapped this pic for me of Aidan he was
trying to take a nap but was so hot he couldn't
sleep. Lucky for me the sound of the water sent
him off to dream land soon after this darling picture
was taken. Good job Kami!



I am just wondering if I am the only one that
cannot get a family picture with everyone looking
at the camera? Seriously I would love to have just
one once in a while. Anyway here is our attempt
at showing our family togetherness!



Drew and Ron heading out to hit the river. I have
to admit I was a little jealous. For those of you
who know me well you know I love to fish and
since I had the baby the fishing has gone down
the tube. Luckily Lynne and I snuck down that
night and caught a few. WE ROCK!



Sydnee, Aidan and Garrett. Kami had them
cracking up I wish there was sound with this photo
because it was so cute. Just to give you and age
breakdown Garett is 7 months and Sydnee and Aidan
are 4 1/2 months. SUPER CUTE!



Here is Ron and Aidan chillin at camp.
I threw this one in for our friends Mike
and Kacee long story not going into it but
I hope you enjoy.



I know I am the mom of this little guy but
seriously he is the cutest baby ever!



We had a little Birthday Celebration for Avery
while we were camping since it was so close to her
Birthday. She has been asking me for months
for pink cowboy boots. G-ma Libby picked her
up a pair and they are so cute. Avery LOVES,
LOVES, LOVES them. Thanks mom!



Okay I think I have decided that I think I am
super mom even though I am not even kindof
close. This is a pic I snapped of the Birthday girl
at her friend party. She wanted a water party
and lucky for me my friend let me borrow this
huge blowup water slide it was a hit but I don't
recommend doing a party for 12 kids by your
self. You think I would have learned by now!



Alyssa getting ready to head down the slide.



This looked like so much fun! I wish I would have
gave it a spin.



Avery also requested a bike for her Birthday
but not just any bike it had to be Bratz. She
loved it.



Avery taking a spin on the new bike. Please note
the pink cowgirl boots!



I hope she made a wish!



Avery doesn't like cake so I made her a ice cream
only cake in the mold of a sand castle bucket it
turned out all right and she thought it was awsome
so there you have it. Just a side note Avery stole
this candle off of G-ma Waymans birthday cake at
her party and made me swear I would use it for her
birthday. We are such good recyclers!



This is kind of a random pic but I love it. I asked
Ron to watch the baby for me the other day so
I could get somethings done around the house.
Well Aidan didn't think that was such a wonderful
idea and was giving Ron a run for his money. Well
next thing I know it is quite and I can hear Ron playing the
guitar. I figured that the baby just went to sleep and came down
to see this. It was so adorable and made my little heart melt so I
thought I would throw it on. SO CUTE!
