S'mores

 I received this really cute pan for Christmas from the MIL, I started looking for all these plastic containers to bring out the s'more stuff and what do you know - this is PER-FECT!! 

We have some caramel/vanilla, plain, coconut marshmallows; chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips and andes mint chips. We do s'mores right!

 what's a fire without the gun show??

 A brief lesson on fire safety, marshmallow roasting technique, and 'oh yeah we forgot dinner'. It's time for the yumminess to begin!

 after we turned off the lights, sat by the fire, sang camp songs, talked about the pioneers, Nephi and his family - it was a special night. (we gotta do this s'more (haha!) often)

I'm bored

 Being a fun mom is exhausting and requires a LOT more clean up. On occasion I like to bring out my not so controlling side and let the kids (I like to craft and what not, but crafting is my quiet time - not to be shared time so it's hard for me to let my kids be creative......ironic no?) And they love it, so I need to just let them go more often. Plus they're all old enough to NOT eat stuff that isn't supposed to be eaten. Anyway, sidetracked - here's a day off from school

 It rained on a Saturday (I only know that because Jeff is in the pictures). So they put on their rain boots that have been wasting away outside in the hot, hot sun. You'll notice a progression of clothing - where we start with 'winter' clothes to t-shirts and no shoes/socks.

 JUMP!

 Hey look, when I jump, I splash Mo!

 Jeff and Lucas join the party - sorry if you're now blind from their WHITE legs - wowza.

 that one spot from the roof where the water drains alot

 just funny right?

 good times

Life according to the phone

 word.

 a soft place to land for a nap

 now this one came from my sister - her daughter was using graph paper for school and came across this little gem I created probably in high school. My name, my sister-in-law and then my brother's name. Thankfully there were no boy names on there that I had a crush on....I was a little nervous to zoom in and read the names. :)

 another visit to urgent care - this time at 2 am

 no wall is too big for this kid

Cabellas Santa Wonderland and free Carousal

 This was the last day for the crib.....

so there you have it about - 6 months in 24 pictures and one old picture of Mo with curly hair. :)
