Getting ready for the parade
It's too bright mom!
Looks like Jayden is excited!
The girl did great at the dentist! This was Kaylee's 1st time getting x-ray's & letting them clean her teeth. The dentist has always had to look at her teeth while she is laying there screaming but this time she did great!

Kaylee LOVED the harley! She looked like a natural on it.

We went up to our friend's the Thomas' parents ranch for a day and a night. We had SO much fun and can't wait to go again. We loved Becky's parents and want them to adopt us into their fun family. Becky's mom Lori was so sweet to all my kids. It melted my heart! Becky's dad took us all on a big 4-wheeler ride, it was a blast. We had dutch oven for dinner....yummy! (Even though Ryan added his own touch to the peach cobler...we loved it!!!) It is just so beautiful up there and so relaxing. My only regret was that I didn't take more pictures. My family was grateful but I love pictures for the memories. All in all it was a wonderful time to be in a beautiful place with the BEST of friends!!!
We went up to my friends Becky's parents ranch awhile ago to take some fun pictures. It was so beautiful up there. I don't think my kids were too excited about doing pictures becuase they really wanted to just run around and explore all the neat surroundings. I still got some fun pictures that you can check out in the slide show below.
I feel so overwhelmed right now! Why though?? I feel like summer is slipping away and I don't feel like I have given my kids a very fun summer. I just feel like there is not enough time in the day to do all the things I would like to do or need to do. It's summer....I shouldn't be feeling this way! AHHHHH! I want to spend quality time with my girls and be a good mom and then the bathroom needs to be cleaned or it's been 2 weeks since I moped the floor so I need to do that. Oh crap is it really the first of month? I need to pay bills and balance my check book. WHAT??? We are already out of milk and everything else? I guess I better go grocery shopping. If it's not one thing it's another and I feel so stretched right now; I feel like I can't breathe!! I feel like I need to spend more time with my grandparents, but when can I make a trip to Salina work & can I afford the gas? I feel like I need to be a better young womens leader and be a good example yet I am crazy right now and don't have the best attitude. I am SO sad that my mom isn't here!!! I want my mom so bad I can't even express the words to tell you the ache I feel inside without her right now. Sometimes by just hearing my mom's voice it seemed to make everything ok. I know that I am just having one of those nights and I will probably wake up tomorrow and feel ok, i'm just feeling stressed right now & needed to vent. More than anything in this world I want to be a Christlike person. I want to be the BEST mom that I can be & the best wife, daughter, sister, & friend. Sometimes I just get caught up in silly things that don't matter but they take away from the things that really do.
