Summer is here & I keep forgetting my camera...

I am a scatterbrain mom, I want to take my camera with us to document all are amazing memorizes however, I walk out of my house each & every outing without my camera. I need HELP!

Swim lesson's are over.

Patience & Hannah had to take swim lesson to able them to try out for swim teams. The lessons were all about strokes & diving. They both passed & moved up very quickly, & now they are ready to try out for the swim team.

After swim lessons the girls, including Addison would stay & do open swim. They would spend 3 hours divin', jumpin', goin' down the slides, & playin' in the waves.

Question of the Day!

This question came from our sweet baby girl Gator, as I drove her to her "Hip Pop" class.

"If you could have any Super Powers what would you choose?"

I answered back with "Invisible Woman." Is there any woman out there that does not want the power to be invisible?Josh said Professor X, because with his telepathic power Professor X can manipulate, erase and create memories, control the actions of people and can mentally harm someone including death. His gift allows him to opens channels of communication and plant suggestive thoughts even if a person is extremely far away. He is considered a very intelligent man, being able to learn things quickly by accessing someone's brain and learning through there. He can also give his teachings to other people by telepathy, and they can learn as quickly as him as well.

Addy can't wait until she can feel the air rushing past her face while she is using her spider webs to FLY! Spider Woman has superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, and hearing. She also has the ability to shoot bioelectrical venom blasts. It's power can range from stunning an opponent to killing the opponent. She can cling to pretty much any surface just like a spider by emitting electro-static out of her hands. Spider Woman can glide by using little wings that are on her costume, and has recently developed self-propelled flight. She can also excrete pheromones that attract males and repulses females. Her costume has collapsible wings which allow her to fly by gliding on air currents. Spider Woman is also immune to many poisons and toxins.
Hannah decided Ms. Marvel, she too would like to Fly & the ability of Healing is something that Hannah would love to have. Ms. Marvel gaining superhuman strength and durability, flight, and a precognitive skill that allows her to feel when something is going to happen.

Patience chose Vampirella, she liked the fact that she has super human strength. Of course Vammpirella needs blood to survive, she have all their powers but none of their weakness. she can't turn people into vampires. She was sent to Earth to kill all evil vampires. You know what that means Edward Cullen will be just fine, he is NOT evil.

Now that we answered Addison question it is your turn to do the same! We also want to know what you would pick.
There are many Super Powers out there, all you have to do is Google super powers.

8 Miles in & 8 Miles out!!!

I am a novice at backpacking, I love camping at camp sites with bathrooms & showers. With that being said Josh was a Boy Scout (may still be I am not sure how that all works.) who loved backpacking, hiking miles into the wilderness & sleeping out under the stars. When the opportunely came to go backpacking with some of our adventurous wonderful friends, Josh could not say "NO Thanks, my wife likes to have plumbing were we go camping!" Of course not all was unpopular for me, the beautiful water falls, amazing green countryside, & the terrific company to whom had to put up with me & my slow stride.
This is looking down from a extremely HIGH bridge... & my finger I should be a professional.!
; )
This phenomenal sight was right next to our tents, this is what I got to wake up to. Jealous?
Kristina & Mike walking under a massive cave with a water fall in front of it. The hike had astounding sight.
Josh helping Kristina over a huge log that hung over a raging stream.

Mine & Josh’s backpack, do they look heavy? I swear mine was at least 45 lbs.

The next few pix are of what use to be my beautiful sexy feet... please keep in mind that I have never, ever, ever had blisters before this weekend. After that 16 mile hike I walked out with 2 new toes. My feet will never be the same!!! If you can not look at awful sights the next few pictures should not be eyed.

I do NOT do backpacking any more! I will take this time to retire from such a hard sport. My toes look very gross. You may go & puke now if you need to!

Fun Summer Break Movies We Have Seen so Far!

We just went & saw this one yesterday with a good friend of mine, this is a cute movie not a waste of time at all. We all liked this one.
= )
One night the girls & I were missing Josh & needed something to do to get him off their minds for just LITTLE WHILE, we read this book & enjoyed it. We also liked the movie, it is not a waste of time. = )

Iron Man was incredible we loved it & I have to say that Robert Downey Jr did a fanatic job. I rate this movie as not a waste of time… You would never know that it is over 2 hours long! = )

I have to say that I have NEVER watch any Indiana Jones movies before this one, with this being said I was not incredibly impressed. However, we did go to dinner with Kellie & David before the movie & that was a good ole time. The girls went & saw this wonderful = p movie with Grandma & Grandpa Caldwell, while Josh & I were backpacking(I will post that trip later) the girls loved Indiana Jones & so did Josh. My rating for this awful movie is you will never get back those 2 hours, or the $9.50 you spent on this lame movie.

Still gettin' out all your pix of Florida...

Our last dinner with Jake & Colette, we went to a Mexican Restaurant with NO name however, it was good eats!
Korbyn loved the sand. ( = Ha ha
Last day hangin' on the white sand beaches with the Cranes.
This is just the small amount of confetti that I could get out of my purse, Papa Scott the King of shenanigans. . . "Yes we all know it was you!" Sneaky Papa Scott spent most of his time being extremely devious putting confetti in peoples car, beds, A/C vents, & in my huge purse. Oh Papa Scott pay backs are a b*tch! You will need eyes on the back of your head for the next time we are together. You are awfully crafty!
I know that I have confetti in my eye... Thanks Papa Scott!
Mother day bunch with everyone!!!
Patience & Kyle, how cute are they?!
Oh what a amazing group of kids... We had way too much fun hangin' out all together again!

I have to say that there are some many more pictures of our exception trip to Florida however, I know that I have to move on... I wish I could show more pix. We sure do miss all our family & wish we could be with them every day! = (
