More pics...

We are finally on the upswing and just have a little cough and cold left.  We were able to have the birthday party for the kids and I will post a couple pics later but I wanted to post some more of the old ones while I have 5 minutes:
Our first camping trip of the summer:

Bella is still in Speech Therapy and has issues saying "fish" and it comes out as "shit".  Now I don't normally laugh at my children but Bella was so excited when she got her first fish that she kept yelling, "I gotta shit!"   Then she would yell things like "Jack got a big shit" and so on....

At the same campground they had a Princess Story and craft time.  This was right up Bella's alley.  She even dressed the part

She then decided she needed a nap... I just love this picture.  My very own sleeping beauty

They had pony rides there that Jack loved (and Bella would not go near)

Next we went to Yellowstone Park where they have a big waterslide and pool area.  The kids loved it but the only issue was that the water area did not open until 11 so the poor kids just looked on


Yogi Bear and his pals are at this campground so we went to go see them to raise the flag in the morning.  I don't think Bella liked it very much

Jack was leary but did go up with Jason


Random day at the park


Jack always gives Jason a big hug before work... he just loves him!


Apparently my 5 minutes on the computer is up and I am being called upon :)

Bummer...

We are all set to go camping.  Backs are packed and loaded in the camper, literally all we have to do is load us up and we could hit the road for the kid's birthday camping weekend..... and then Jack gets a sudden fever of 103 and throws up on the way to the pediatrician's office.  He ran a fever all night and Bella started too - so we are home celebrating here for their birthday.  I am bummed but very thankful that we were home and not in West Virginia when they got sick.  24 hours later and they are both feeling better so hopefully tomorrow we will be able to go do something fun as a family.
On the upside I finally figured out how to load pictures from my phone to the computer (only took me 5 months!)
Random picture of the kids hamming it up

Bella looks so deep in thought

The kids were excited to see Jason when he got home from work

Jack came up to my sewing room after a nap one day and sat right down at the sewing machine.  I think there is some Grandmom Newman in him too!

Bella feeding a goat

Jack was not too fond of the crepe paper and finger paint combo

Jason got this power wheels for free and it just needed a paint job.  Look closely at the custom vinyl job Jason did


I have a bunch more to add but Bella is yelling "help me"... :)
