camping.....

camping.....

did you say.... CAMPING???

I did ruthie.. i did.. and you and elly m. are invited to go with us.. and that we did. we all went camping as a little family for one night with unknown adventures ahead of us. I don't even remember where we went, it wasn't too far away, but just far enough that i couldn't decide in the middle of the night to pack things up and go home... so the evening began so filled with peace and love and light... and mickie and jonathan put up the tent and i said.. who needs a rain cover.. it for sure wouldn't rain on "OUR"first camping trip... then night time comes.... so cozy by the fire.. ruthie falls asleep in the tent so happily.. elly m. enjoys picking up buckeyes and filling her pockets til her little buttcrack shows and jonathan turns into super man keeping the fire going with whole trees practically. and then... the middle of the night around oh midnight.. jonathan and i wake up to some rustling over by the campfire where we left a lot of stuff out because of my lack of flashlight packing...and because i put two children to sleep... have a very full bladder and need to use the bathroom am the chosen one to check out what is going on at the campsite... i find a bunch of raccoons taking off with our food... uh...oh...

so an hour later... i hear "MOMMA" and little ruthie had popped her head up wide awake ready for some play time and then little elly m. wakes up and needs to go potty.. so here we are at one in the morning walking to the bathroom all four of us... waking up the whole campsite to sit on the toilet and not do anything.. so we finally get the girls back to sleep and about an hour later... i hear drip............drip.......drip.... drip....drip..dripdripdripdrip... you got it.. rain.. hmm..... all i can think is jonathan is not going to be happy with me... and then he pops up and goes outside and puts the rain cover on.. it must of been three at this point.. who knows though... we didn't bring a clock of any kind. so we go back to sleep about an hour later to hear that it is pouring out rain. .. miserable for a small family to be trapped in a tent with nothing to do... bummer.. so our first camping trip was a learning experience and put a good enough taste in our mouths for another one..... next time i think i will look at the forecast before we leave.

blueberry morning...

I am so glad that i have children that love fruit!!! They love it.. just love it.. especially little ruthie... they both love it so much they wear it.

Teresa had her baby girl...

about two weeks ago.. what a not so good blogger i have become.. what has happened to me..? i am not sure. i don't want to declare that i will do better this time. i haven't put forth effort lately. i want to post more often and i really want to post some videos of the girls... hmm.. what could inspire me....maybe i should try to post everyday for twenty six days using the letters of the alphabet.. hm.. that is an idea...anyways.. here is teresa and towns with their beautiful little baby eidre van!!! beautiful family.. beautiful baby.. and beautiful name... i love you guys... you are so great!

poor poor aaron...

I have recently watched aaron and olivia... bella's babies for those of you who don't know who that is... anyways.. poor aaron has to be with three little girls and this is how he feels at the end of the three hours with him.. can you blame him.. three girls is a lot to deal with.

Beautiful hair...

I am not quite sure how adrienne asked me, but it went somewhere along the lines of..... when are you going to start brushing elly m.'s hair or tristan.. you need to do something about that... i don't quite remember, but she whipped out the hairbrush and made elly m.'s hair look pretty!! it lasted for about 2 hours... thank you adrienne.. it was very very beautiful while it lasted.

Look what my kids can do...

My kids can tear up a room in less than 5 minutes or maybe less than 3 minutes or 2.. i didn't time it!!

It's just not right!!

It really isn't right how these kitties are treated... so loved... maybe overloved, but totally loved. you can often find them in the arms of the two small children cuddled up anywhere in the house. i had no idea how much entertainment two free kittens would add to our house, better than a tv. so ruthie usually holds them so that they can still walk on their two back feet. and elly m. holds them any which way they will let her... which is sometimes right on top of them... we do have a lot of fun with them though.

Peek-A-Boo!!

here is ruthie in her "bed" in mommy and daddy's room. she takes a nap in here everyday, because if they sleep in the same room during the day they talk for 2 hours straight to each other. sisters are great!
