Our Summer- Camping trip

Hello, it's been a crazy summer around here! We have been having fun though and the kids have for sure. We just got back from a camping trip with some good friends of ours, the Reed Family. It was a great time besides the nightly attacks from skunks while we sat around the campfire. We would all of the sudden hear something and they would come from all sides and we had to quickly and quietly move away so they wouldn't spray us. Freaky! The Reeds have two boys and the kids had a blast! Kylin loved to eat the dirt, she is definitely an outdoor girl. When we are at home she cries at the door and says, "Outside!" We just got this massive tent to camp in and it was so nice to have room and not have to sleep next to a kicker and a teeth grinder. I still have to sleep next to Brett though ( : Dason is a lot of fun and he asks really deep questions for a four year old like, " Do we eat in heaven? What if I don't like the spices up there do I have to eat it? Are God and Jesus the same? How do you know? He definitely is a thinker. Caden is a jokester and he has been getting in trouble for telling Dason he is going to pee and poop on him. He thinks he's funny, too. (he is) Kylin definately has a mind of her own and knows exactly what she wants, she also is sensitive and I love her little pouty lip. Me and Brett have been doing projects around the house and trying to stay active with bball, bike riding, and running. He really enjoys doing taxes and it's fun to watch him be able to do new things and feel a sense of accomplishment. I have been substitute teaching a little and it feels good to have a break from the kids, even though I love 'em.

Maybe we need a bigger pool...

Thanks for stopping by. Wish we could share a cup of mocha together and just talk. It's hard when everyone decides to move away and start their only family after college. What's up with that? Me and Brett are working on buying our own island and then everyone we know and love could come live there and we would never be apart again. Until then, we will communicate through technology like the rest of the world. If you know Jesus we will all be reunited in heaven anyway and that's way better than the whole island plan because those cost a lot of money and Brett isn't good at saving it. I am always trying to get him to save money and not spend it but he always blows it on frivolous things. (if you know Brett, you know that's a total joke; the man could be in the middle of the desert parched and not spring for a glass of water)
