Dad

I thought this picture was cute, my dad is such a great grandpa (Pa2). Here he is holding sleeping Karlee.

Fun in the sun!

We all got together at my grandma's house to have a picnic and to go down a big slip-n-slide it was a lot of fun. Although I think we all walked away with scratches and bruises on us.

Getting ready to go down the slide.

Everyone eating, visiting, and relaxing.

Memories

While I was in Oregon one of the bedroom closets broke which meant we had to go through all our old dresses, costumes, and suites. It was pretty fun everyone tried things on and remembered the good times that we had in all of our old things. Of course we had to take pictures, we were laughing a lot that night. Oh I love memories.

Karlee wanted to get in on the fun to.

Jaron thought he was batman when wearing this costume.

Goggles

When I was in Oregon it was so hot so the kids had fun playing in the backyard at Ma2's house in the little pool and going down the slip-n-slide. We had one pair of goggles and they were a big hit all three of the kids wanted to wear them so we had to take turns. I thought they looked so cute and funny in them that I had to post their pictures.

Lipstick

Another cute and funny story! While I was home in Oregon one day I was in my room talking to my sister Angie when i heard a thud in the bathroom I went in to see who was in there, I walked in and found my niece Kelsie standing on the toilet seat lid leaning over the sink trying to wash her hands. And on her hands and lips she had black stuff on them, I looked over and saw my mascara sitting on the counter. At first when I walked in and saw her she looked sad because she knew she was in trouble but then I said "were you trying to look pretty by putting lipstick on?" and she smiled and said "yes" it was so cute and after we washed her hands and lips off I realized I should have taken a picture of her with her pretty black lipstick on her lips!

Candy

While my nephew was staying with us in June we went over to Cody's parents house for Sunday dinner. Jaron had so much fun playing downstairs in the playroom for most of the time that we were there. But after we ate dinner we had dessert Jaron didn't want what we were having for dessert so Peggy said that Jaron could go to the Halloween candy drawer and pick two candies out. I have never seen the Halloween candy before and even I was in heaven, there were king size candy bars, and regular size candy bars. Jaron would pick a candy bar up and look at it then put it back, then there was me saying to Jaron to pick this one and that one but he didn't want any of the ones I told him to get. But then he sees this bucket full of candy so he takes a look in there and in there was little candies like Jolley Ranchers, Smarties, and Tootsie Rolls. Now Jaron was in heaven he picked out two small Tootsie Rolls and he was excited, he went in the other room to tell Peggy thanks for the candy. She asked him what he decided on and he should her and he said I will eat this one now and this one later tonight. It was so cute, Peggy thought he was so cute to have all those big candy bars to pick from and he choose two little Tootsie Rolls. He is one funny boy!

Our Trip To New York

This last weekend we went to New York with Cody's Mom, Dad, Jess, and Ryan, it was my first time. It was so much fun we left Saturday morning and got there that evening we went to dinner, we ate yummy pizza. Then we went to our first Broadway Musical which was Little Mermaid and it was very good. The next day we went to Two Musicals the first one we went to was called In the Heights and then at night the boys went to Spam-a-lot and then the girls went and saw Legally Blonde it was so funny and us girls had so much fun.

Monday we went on a boat tour and saw the Statue of Liberty which was really neat looking. Once we were done with our boat tour we rented bikes and went for a wonderful bike ride around New York. We stopped for lunch at this place that had the most amazing tasting bread. YUMMY! The last day we were in New York we went to the top of the rock and then we walked through Central Park it is so big! We finished our trip in New York by eating so yummy New York pizza one last time before we left. New York was a fun trip and I am so glad we had the chance to go.
