Back to School!!

It has been so long who knows what is going on. Saturday the 18th we spent most of the day at mom and dad's with Jillian. I was trying to list our house on Criag List and was having trouble uploading pictures. So Jillian helped me. She also helped me load a bunch of songs to my phone so I could have music. Saturday Great Grandma Bassett came to town with her husband David. So we had dinner with them on Sunday and played cards. The last week of summer vacation went to fast. We went school clothes shopping two days. I think we have everything they need for winter except Kamden need some shoes. I like clothes shopping I just hate spending the money though. We also saw the last free movie for the summer (Flushed Away). We have it but I hadn't seen it so I could watch it there. It was a cute show mom fell asleep but Kamden kept waking her up. We also went to the Fair on Wednesday which was kids day so it was busy. We went out about 1pm and left around 9:00pm. We didn't do much other than ride on the rides the kids loved it. We stoped for dinner around 6:30 because Cole was so sick from not eating. We ran into Kim, Tre' and Kara. They ate with us and then went to the rodeo for a very short time. Then we tried to head back to the rides but the lines were to long so we left and Kim and the kids stayed. The kids want to know when we are going again. This is Kamden's and Carter's first time riding on the rides. I think we have tried with Kamden and maybe done a couple of rides with her but so wouldn't go on much before. So did much better this year. So we didn't see any of the booths or the animals. There just wasn't enough time. We went boating on Friday with the kids and Kendall, Alexis and Kara. Kamden finally decided she wanted to go out with Kendall, Alexis and Kara. So had so much fun she wanted to go again. That only took and summer and a half to get there to finally like the tube. Carter went right before her and he did so good no crying for either one. Saturday Ryan and I went to one of my Young Women's wedding at the temple and then to their reception that night. They had so much left over food they sent us home with a lot of food. We also went out to lunch with all the Bassett's and then to see Mr. Bean. It was a very cute movie. Funny!!! I liked it better than the first.

We started home school officially on Tuesday. We started one day early so we could take off Friday and Monday for the holiday. Cole is doing so good. He gets up at 6:30 gets ready does his piano and reading and then does his school work and is done by 12 or 12:30. So I hope he can keep it up. He is making it easy for me. He will start all of his fun classes the 10th of September.

Biker Babes ride over the North Cascades

We start 7:30 Thursday morning. We drove to Moses Lake, had breakfast and drove to Soap Lake, along Long lake to Dry Falls. This picture shows us at Dry Falls. We spent about an hour here and at the Visitors center. We started with six of us, the Crooks, Mills and us. Donna Mills followed us with her car. We drove to Grand Coulee Dam. Kim was working there and as we left the we past the hospital where she was working. We saw her car. We should of stop and left her a note. We then drove to Winthrop where we spent the night. Drove about 260 miles on thursday. Mom did really well.

Thursday we eat at Three Finger Jacks. After dinner we went across the street and had a banana split. It was great.

Friday morning we stuck around Winthrop until the shops opened. We spent an hour or so shopping. The Wagars drove up in their Mustang convertable and now we were 8. We had a beautiful day to travel the north cascade highway.


This is Diablo Lake a beautiful green lake.

Mom rode the whole day. Again she did a great job again. I think she fell aslept only once. We made it to Monroe. We spent the night in Sister Wagars sisters house.

The next morning we traveled over Stevens pass to Leavenworth where Greg Rose met up with us. We spent about three hours there and then traveled over Blewett Pass to Ellensburg and along the Yakima River to Yakima where we stopped at Miners. Mom rode with Wagars to Yakima and with me home. It was a great ride, beautiful country, great friends. Life is good.

We are already planning our next trip. Leave Friday night after work and ride to Heppner, Oregon where we will have dinner and spend the night. The next morning we we ride to Spray, Fossil, Condon, Golden Dale.

Camping at Mt. Rainer

Well we put our house up for sale. We are going to try to sell it on our own. We have found some property out in Eltopia that we would like to buy and build on. Two different friends of ours is also looking at buying out there. We also found out a couple in our ward bought some property out there. It is about 20 minute drive from Rd 68 and all the shoping.

Well you are going to see some fun picutres from our camping trip. The kids and I took a camping trip to Mt. Rainer with some of my family and my sisters kids. I have never been camping at Mt. Rainer. My mom and dad couldn't believe I had never been camping there. I guess the younger kids had been camping there alot. When we were younger we camped just never at Mt. Rainer. The kids and I had a great time and it is so pretty. As you will be able to tell from the beautiful pictures. This is a cute one of Kamden and Alexis roasting marshmellows. My kids loved the fire. They couldn't seem to stay away from it. You can see our tent. The one the kids and I slept in.

I couldn't believe how close we got to the snow. We saw some of the hikers coming down off the mountian.

Must of the pictures are of us hiking. We spent most of the time hiking or maybe it just seemed that way. I carried Carter alot of the way on the hikes. He actually fell asleep on my back on one of the hikes. That was fun all the dead weight. Kamden did so awsome! Maybe I just thought so becausese she wouldn't leave moms side. So mom spent alot of time with her. But I never did hear her complain about all the walking and hiking. She seemed to have a really good time. Cole he was in seventh heaven. He just couldn't hardly stand to stay on the trails. He wanted to go up every hill. He and Tre were climbing up the hills and sliding down. Anyway we had a good time and saw a lot of very beautiful things.

This week has flown by we spent two day at Mt. Rainer. Wednesday we went to the free moives and then did a little clothes shopping for school. Cole got to go to the Sheriff's Station for Scouts. Thursday and Friday the kids and I spent most of the day cleaning the house and the car. So needless to say time flies.

We were supouse to have Cole's b-day party out on the river Saturday. The weather channel all week has said 82 and windy. So we decided to cancel and wait until after Labor day. I am hoping the weather will be good. I thought I was doing so good thinking ahead and trying to get his party done durning the summer.

Last week we were very busy. Denny and D.J were here. So we tried to keep the kids busy while they were here. We went boating last Monday with Ryan's family. Tuesday we went to the free moives and swimming at the house. Wednesday we went to the water park in Hermisten. Wendnesday night Ryan and the kids went camping at Hood park. Mom, Dad, Kendall and I went and saw Borne. It was really good. Thursday the Bassetts and our family went golfing and then to see Daddy Day Care. Friday Denny and D.J. went home. We went boating on Saturday with Kendall, Jillian, Alexis and some friends.

Carter's Mess!

I don't know if you can see these pictures very well but these two pictures are from Carter throwing two full bowls of noodles soup across the room. I think I told you about it in the last blog.

These pictures are of a party Dr. Ostler put on in the park. He is Cole's Orthodontist. Anyway Ryan and Cole played who could make the first basket. Cole got flung across the mat a few times but he did make the first basket. The other picture is of Cole and I battling eachother. Cole I think knocked me over more than I knocked him over. We had such a good time I was laughing so hard. I didn't think I woud enjoy it but it was fun. The mat was to hot to hardly even step on. They needed to spray it down with water.

These are some more pictures of the party. Cole and Ryan had a cow milking contest. Carter and Ryan rode the bull and the last is of the three kids all locked up for the day.HaHa

Ryan and I had a date night on Friday it was so fun. We invited some friends to go out on the boat and they had some friends come. We found out they are in 8th ward in Kennewick they bought the Mayfields house. Very nice couple. Anyway we went out just adults on the boat. It was fun. Cole couldn't understand why we would go out on the boat without kids. I tried to tell him it was because he never wants to go out on the boat. He loves the beach. He thinks the boat is to get us to the other side of the river to the beach. So I said we weren't going to a beach we were going to ride tubes, knee board , ski and wake board and they didn't like to do that. He still didn't think that was right. After we were done boating we went over to Applebee's for dinner. We stayed out too late having fun.

Saturday was Dr. Ostler's party which the kids had a great time at. They feed us lunch and free cotton candy, snow cones and of course lots of fun activities. Then later in the day we went check out some house and property we just found out about. There is some property out in Eltopia which is on the same street as the Columbia Basin Chapel. They are 2 - 4 acres. So we went to see what the property looks like. There are few negative and some positives we just have to decided if the negatives out way the positives.

Sunday we had a great dinner at mom and dad's. Kendall and mom made dinner for us. We played farkle. And guess who won Kendall I think she always wins.

Friday Denny (Ryan's brother), D.J. and Brooke came into town to go camping for D.J.'s scouts. Anyway we all went out boating yesterday afternoon. We were out to late. D.J. stayed the night and he and Cole slept outside in the tent until the sprinkles came on and they got soaking wet.

This morning the kids and I met mom and Alexis at the movies and watched Everyone's Hero. It was a very cute show. Now this afternoon the kids are summering here at the house. The weather is cooling off and it is so windy here. I am glad it was nice for yesterday and boating.

I can't believe summer is almost over. And I was just reminded by a friend about Cole's b-day is coming up and what are we doing. Ugh!!! Time flies by the older you get or maybe it is the more kids you have.

The changing child!

Last Thursday a friend had the kids and I over. The kids went swimming and run through the sprinklers. The friend taught me how to make egg rolls. Oh, they are so good! Hopefully now I can make them. It was fun and something a little different.

Friday we went to the Hermiston water park. Kim her kids and Kim's friend went with us. Cole took a friend and Kendall came too. We had a good time. Cole saw his cousin Tristen that he never gets to see so they hang out for a little bit. I think Cole really enjoyed being able to see him and spend some time with him. Mom (Sandy) watched Kamden and Carter so Ryan and I could take Cole out on a date. He has been asking for some me time. We went and saw Transformers it was good lots of action. There was to much swearing.

Saturday we all went out on the boat. Bailey was in town for a wedding so she came and Kendall, mom and Alexis. We meet up with some friends who have a boat. We even got mom to go out on the tube again. Mom says she wont be going on the tube again it's to hard on her back. I know sitting in the tube can be brutal on your back. Bailey got up on her first try on the wake board and did a nice job. She also I think did her first 360. Yeah, Bailey!

Sunday we had dinner at mom and dad's it is back to lots of noise. Well I guess I can't say that, it was noisy before Kendall and Jillian came home. It is just nice to have a little bigger family dinner. I hear Kendall is going to be preparing the Sunday family dinner the next two weeks. I can't wait I know it will be good.

Monday Kamden came down with something and has been running a fever today it finally seems to be gone. She slept most of Monday night and Tuesday. Monday she missed practice but she went to her game last night. She still wasn't feeling while because she asked her coach to take her out because she was to tired. That isn't like her. Although today she is back to rear form. She through a huge fit at the orthodontist office today and we spent the whole visit in the car. At the end I went in to check on Cole.

At the orthodontist office they wired Cole's two front teeth together and next visit they will take off the braces and put the retainer back in. The orthodontist office has a new office on road 68 which will be nice. Our next visit will be there that will be nice it is closer. Cole had a make up game on Tuesday and another game today. He seems to really like soccer. I am not sure if it because he knows all the kids from church or he is just have a good time. Cole had a golf tournament on Tuesday and he took third place in his division. He won a hat and brush tees. He was excited. Today is the last day of golf and they have a gold pro there. He thought maybe Tiger Woods was going to be there. He didn't understand the golf pro thing. Yesterday Cole got to go with Kim to the Richland pool and over to Howard Ammon he had a good time with his cousins.

Carter, were do I start boy he is such a busy little man that keeps getting into everything. Lets see this summer he has stop his Binky, stop taking naps, doesn't want to go to bed until 11pm. If I leave him alone for 2 minutes my house is a disaster. Yesterday I went out to do something with the pool. I think I was out there for 3 or 4 minutes. I had just gotten them lunch. I come in and there is noodle soup all over the kitchen floor and counters and in the living room and family room. Yesterday I was redoing my toenails and Carter climbed into the bath with water and sit in it with his cloths on then climbed out took off his clothes took all the bath toys and some things from the closet and strung them all over the upstairs. I can't leave him in the bath by himself either. He will dump out all the shampoo which his has done a few time and soap. He loves to splash the water outside the tube and everywhere I mean everywhere. So what I am saying is my sweet boy who was so easy has turned into the devil. Well o.k. not the devil but a very active child.

Schultz Reuioun!

We had such a fun time this last weekend with most all of the Schultz's. We missed my sister Chauntel and her family. We talked to her on the first day of the family Reunion. It was nice to her from her. We went to see Night at the Museum at the free movies. We then headed over to the park where we let off rockets and played kickball, went in the water, played water balloon toss and did a water balloon launcher. After we were all tired and hungry we headed back to our house and went swimming played games and had homemade ice cream. Cole has been asking for three years as long as we have been in this house to get the pool table fixed. So he and Ryan could play pool. So finally he committed for the family Reunion to get it up and running and he did. The kids loved the pool table even Kamden loves it.

Friday we headed out to the river on the boat. It was not very good weather it was only in the low to mid 80's and over cast all day. We all still had a good time. Mike got up quickly on the wake board, Ryan was jumping the wake a little bit, and most everyone rode on the tubes. OH, I can't forget I did a 360 for the first time on the knee board. By the end of the day I think everyone was tired and sore.

Saturday we headed up to Leavenworth. When we got there we took a family picture minus Chauntel's family. Then we headed out to look at all the cool little shops in town. We stayed a couple of hours and then headed back to Wenetche for dinner at Applebee's. You can't beat the 1/2 price appetizers. We spent the same as we would at McDonald's but much better food. It was a fun ride up and back all the sisters rode in mom and dad's van and we had a great time visiting. We missed an exit on the way up and two on the way back but we made it there and back just fine.

Sunday was a nice break we didn't do much other than sit around and visit and watch Man vs Wild. We had a nice family dinner and we went to mom and dad's sacrament. Brother Beuchaum spoke and Brother Mickleson they did such a nice job.

Monday is back to the grind the kids and I cleaned the house top to bottom and Cole and I mowed the lawn. Ryan was home early so he took all the kids out to the pool and went swimming. Then off to soccer practice for Kamden and a soccer game for Cole.

S

HOT! HOT! HOT! Weather!

Wow it was such a hot hot week here. It was in the 100's all week. We have had such a mild summer that is was such a shock to have such warm weather. We have been checking the weather all week for this weeks family reunion and guess what cool weather and stormy. Isn't that they way it works. You plan something and you have bad weather you don't plan and you have good weather. It is kind of like when I wash my car it seems to rain or we are out late and get bugs all over it or something like that. I am hoping it will all work out. Maybe the cooler weather will be nice for everything we are doing.

O.k. enough about the weather I guess. Both the kids had their soccer games canceled because of the hot weather. They were both sad but 102 or hotter they cancel. Sorry back to weather again. O.k. one last note on the weather. It was suppose to be 107 or so on Friday so we had planned on going down to Hermiston to the aquatic center with Chelsie and some friends. Just before we left it started to storm poured down rain and thunder and lighting. They will close the pool if there is lighting. So we decided to stay home and of course it stopped about about an hour or so later but it cooled if off 10 -15 degrees. So we will go another day.

Ryan brought home our new couch we order for the front room. It is cocoa brown color and a treated leather. It is suppose to be better than leather because you don't have to treat it you can just wipe it off. We will see how it holds up. Anything is better than that dumb dry clean only Pier one couch we have had for 7 or 8 years. It was a pretty couch but when they said dry clean they meant you can't clean it. So after 7 or 8 years or snotty noses, coloring on it and dirty hands it was time for a new one.

We decided yesterday to have a relaxing Saturday. So we rented Rockie 1 and 2 and the bridge to Tarabetha(sp). We went and cleaned the church at 8am. We took the boat with us and I practiced backing the boat in a stall. Trying to get use to how to back a boat in. Who thought that would be so hard I finally got it I think. We will see once I get out there and do it for really. I thought we were going to watch movies all day and then go swimming, Ryan thought we were going to go swimming and then watch movies. So I watched movies and they went swimming and then they watched movies and I went out with some girls from church. It was fun we went out to dinner at Red Robin. It was a nice and relaxing day!!

I don't know if I told you already or not but Carter thinks he is old enough to give up his nap. He has been such an easy kid to put to bed or down for a nap. So this was such a shock. On Monday it was just like something snapped and he decided he was done. I put him down and then went out to put the ladder in the pool and help the kids get set up out outside. Cole then came into get a towel before he got in and Carter had made a mess he said in my bath room. So I come up stairs and guess what toilet paper and water every where and everything pulled out of the drawers. I spent 2 hours putting him back in when he would get up finally he was asleep. Then an hour later Kamden went in the house screaming and crying up the stairs and woke Cater up. I was so upset. So then it was bed time and I spent 2 1/2 hours putting him back in bed. Then I fell asleep and the two kids came in and said Carter was up playing. I at this point didn't care when he was tired he would go to sleep. So at 11 he came in my room and laid down on the floor and went to sleep finally. So for the next two day he did the same thing at nap time. I spent along time putting him back in his room after getting up. So by Thursday I decide he didn't have to have a nap and so he now seems to go to bed at 7pm because he is so tired. Cole gave up his nap at about 2 1/2 but that was more because I was to busy to lay him down. Now I really want Carter to take a nap and he doesn't so maybe it is payback. Then I have Kamden who will some days go put herself to bed because she is so tired. You think you have one child figured out and then you figure out that each child is different. What works for one doesn't work for another. I guess that is when you ask you friend, family and mom what to do? So if anyone has a suggestion I would be happy to hear it.

I am so excited for the family reunion. We will see most of you soon. I hope everyone travels safely.

So I think we are boated out for awhile. We went boating on the fourth twice and it was a zoo. We took a little break on Thursday. We were to go the free movies but we took Carter to the doctor. Then we all took naps for about 3-4 hours on Thursday. It was so nice! Since we didn't get much sleep on Wednesday.
Ryan worked a 1/2 day well it was a full day he was just off by 11am on Friday. So we went with some friends from 2nd ward and his brother from our ward now(Knight's) boating. We drove out to Wind Dust which is like 45 minutes out. It is about 20 or more minutes past Levy. We got a nail in the trailer tire and porcupine quills in another tire. Then when we got there no one was there. The water was down about 4-6 feet and there was no dock or beach. So we convince everyone to go back to Levy. So we went back and had a great time. I got up on skies again. I haven't been on skies since I was in middle school maybe high school. Wow my fore arms are really sore. I used muscles I haven't in a very long time. When we pulled the boat in are tire on the trailer was flat. Luckily one of the guys we were with had an extra.
We decided to go out with the Knight's again on Saturday. Mom and Karra came out for a little bit and Alexis stayed with us the whole day. The kids have such a good time playing on the beach. It is sometimes hard to get them off the beach and on to the boat. We went out on Friday about noon and got home at 10:30pm. Then left again on Saturday about 9:30 and got home at about 9pm. Wow it was fun but very exhausting. So that is why we need a break for a bit. Alexis called on Monday and asked if we were going again. We said no Ryan has to work. So Sunday was nice to relax after a long boating week.
Boy Carter is talking so well. He loves the water to much. Monday when we went swimming he jumped in with out us watching luckily Kamden pulled him out, Wednesday he jump in Dennis and Melanie's pond and Cole pulled him out. Then on Friday and Saturday I had to keep my eye on him because he kept trying to go out and go swimming with the bigger kids. Which would have been fine because he has a jacket on but he couldn't seem to keep his mouth out of the water. He was drinking water out of the river none stop. I don't know how to get him to stop drink it. Kamden had a good time hunting for sea shell or claim shells with Riley and Ethan. Cole, Kamden and Carter all tried out a new tube our friends brought. It is one that doesn't tip real easily and so all the kids went out. I was so shocked Kamden went. I think we got her out once maybe twice crying both times. This time no crying.

4th boating craziness...

Sunday night Kamden got to stay the night at mom's house. She had so much fun with Alexis and Karra. Mom said they played really well together. While they were playing Cole and I were home doing chores. Cole helped me mow the lawn and clean out the pool and clean the house. He was such a good help and no complaining. He also helped entertain Carter. Some people in our ward invited us over for dinner and swimming. The kids had a good time. We went swimming for a while and then we had dinner. While we were having dinner Carter went and got in the pool. Kamden we think got him out.

Tuesdays it was in the 90's and we went swimming most of the day in the pool. Even though we had just finished filling the pool it felt good.

We had a really fun fourth of July. We got up early and went down to Leevy Landing at 7:45. It doesn't open until 8am and there was already a line at the gate and two boats on the water. When we left there were no parking spaces and the street and dirt roads were lined with cars. I have never scene it so busy. This is the first 4th of July we have had a boat. By the end of the boating day the water was so choppy we could hardly even tube it was so choppy. It was nuts out there. When we left there was a line to get out it took us 1/2 hour to get the boat out of the water. We went over to Dennis and Melanie's for a BBQ and then out on the boat with some friends to watch the fireworks. It was a fun and a little crazy of an experience.

Carter and Ryan and I had a rough night. We took Carter to the doctors this morning the doctor can't say weather he has a virus or ammonia(sp?). We were worried most of the night that he could breath.

Family Pictures!!

So here are some pictures. The bottom ones are of Kamden at her soccer game and the next are of Cole at his Soccer game. Then there is a picture of Kevin and Ryan. Then there is a picture of Jennifer and her family and Ashlynn and her family. The boy with shaving cream on his face is Jennifer's sons. They were doing Terry and Cindy Forrey's skit that they used to do at the reunioun. The first picture at the top is of the Christensen family (Ruth's family) singing. Just like they use to when we were kids. Daddies Hands and Grandma's Feather bed.

Busy Week and Family Reuioun!

What is new not much same routine things that we have been doing this summer. During the week the kids have been doing really well with chores and homework. I can't complain there they are doing great.



Monday nights Kamden has soccer practice. That is so funny to watch with each practice they seem to get a little better. I mean a little. They are so cute though. Tuesday and Thursday Cole has been doing Cole lessons and playing a round of golf. and Tuesday Cole has Piano lesson, Soccer practice and then Ryan has been having a double header. Which he had last week. The kids love to run around and play with all the other kids. Wednesdays Kamden has games it was her first this week. They did good only because there is a boy how could probably keep up with the group of kids Cole plays with. On Wednesdays we go to the free movies which we did this week we went and saw Rugrats. Mom couldn't go because she and dad had a doctors appointment. Thursday Cole had his first Soccer game they did well. I think they beat the other team 10 -0. We had to tell Cole not to be a bully to his own team. He didn't even know he was pushing them around the field. So hopefully he will get better about that.



Friday Ryan didn't work. It rained he did do some work at home and measure a few jobs. It was nice to have him home. We got all of our chores and homework done and went to catch poly wogs. It started to poor down rain on us. So we didn't keep looking for them. We went and hang out at Walmart waiting for it to stop raining. Then we ran into a friend who reminded us we had an Elders Quorum party. So we ran home and had dinner and went to it. There weren't to many people which isn't like this ward. We usually have a really good turn out. Anyway the kids played, adults visited. Someone brought a boat so all the guys and Cole and Carter went boating. All the girls and kids went back to a house and played. We didn't get the kids to bed until 10pm.



I tell you this because on Saturday we went to the Forrey Family Reunion up in Moses Lake. And Kamden had a total melt down and we left around 3:30 or so. We got there about 11:30. They were already at the church just getting ready to have lunch. They had lunch and visited and had a family meeting and then a small talent show. My favorite was when the Christensen's song Dad's Hands and Grandma's feather bed just like when we were kids. Then we cleaned up and headed back to Jenn's. Deanna and her family showed up about then and stayed for about an hour maybe. So we got to see her new baby. They did a head count there were 70 that was before Deanna got there that made about 80. So not anything like it use to be. Granted I haven't been since that had them at grandma Forrey's. Well I went to one in Moses Lake and on in Seattle at Christy's. Not like at Grandma's though. There were no kids for the most part. It was nice to see those that were there anyway. They are having the next Forrey Reunion in Gig Habor at Carrie's house. He is great Uncle Paul's son. They are having it on the last weekend in June. I am just passing the word. They wanted us to let our families know.



We are going to mom's today so I will try and remember to bring my camera so I can post some pictures of the week.

Summer is Here!

So here are a few pictures I finally had a chance top upload. The bottoms ones are of Kamden and her friends at the final performance for tap/ballet for the school year.

The next picture is of Cole in his cub scout t-shirt and tool box from scout camp last week. The next picture is of the kids and Ryan in the pool. Last weekend it was maybe in the 80's by mid-week it was high 90's now this weekend back to the 70's. Anyway that is a picture of them finally enjoying the pool this summer. I think they have been in the pool one maybe two other times so far this year. The the last two are of Cole with his three fish and then of he and Ryan eating them.

Cole has had a busy week. He has been doing awesome getting all of his chores done and homework done. He had golf lessons and got to play on Tuesday and Thursday this last week. He love to go and play. Cole and Kamden both had soccer practice this week. Cole seems to be a little to big for the kids he is playing with. We will see how things go.

Friday Ryan and the two boys went up to father sons. They left early on Friday afternoon. When they got there they set up camp and climb a big hill. Carter had a nice ride on Ryan's shoulders the whole way. Then they headed back for dinner and the fireside. They stayed up visiting around the camp fire until midnight. Ryan said Carter fell asleep on him around 11pm. They got up around 6am and had breakfast and cleaned up and head out to fish. Cole caught 3 fish. Ryan had one but just as he pulled it in is swam away with his hook. They only fished about an hour or so and Cole caught 3. The first one he freak out a little. But by the third one he killed it himself. Carter freaked out each time he didn't like the fish flipping all over the place.

Kamden and I went with Melanie to see Surf's Up! It started out a little slow it was good. I think Cole will enjoy it more than Kamden. She says she liked it. Then we headed over to Cousins for dinner. Kamden fell asleep on my lap. It was only 5pm. I guess I should have given her a nap. So I went home and put her down for a nap. She sleep until 8. So I got my lesson for Sunday all finished but then Kamden was up until 11pm. Talking my ear off! She had a good day I think. Then we got up and did chores and checked out mom and dads and went to look for a bed for Kamden. We need to get her a bed she doesn't have one.

We then got a call from Ryan's best friend from high school Rusty Treseder. He and his new wife came over about 6 and left around 9pm. It was a nice visit and kids were so good and we had homemade ice cream. His friend had come up to Portland for a wedding and thought he would show his new wife where he had grown up.

We are looking forward to this week the free movies start this week. Just in time for mom and dad to come home. So mom and come to the movies with us.

I got to Kendall this week before she left for her trip. Carter told her he loved her so then we got to hear from Jillian. She wanted Carter to say it to her too. So of course he preformed and told her he loved her. I love this age when they learn new things all the time.
