Where was our Fall?

Paul's family invited us to go to the lake with them a couple of weeks ago. Mike stayed home with Talee and Tucker napping and Cooper was super tired from his football game that morning, so Dayson, Trey and I met Paul's fam at the lake. It was a ton of fun! This was Karter's idea of tubing which is a crack-up because he loves jumping into the water off the boat which my kids won't do, but he does not like the tube in the water. Paul and I talked him into getting on with Dayson for a minute and he jumped off into the water really quick. It was funny the difference between the personalities because Dayson would've done anything NOT to fall in the water where Karter jumped in, but Dayson liked the tube.

Treyden and Kaden even tried Paul's wake board which literally probably weighs close to what they weigh. They were amazing! Both of them got up for a second it was quite impressive!

Cute boys on the tube. Trey age 8 Kaden almost 8 and Dayson 5.

Two weeks after the lake Misty and I took Talee, Hunter, Aspen, and Tucker with us to meet my parents to watch Kira dance. The football game was one day before Kira's 20th birthday, so we decided to make a giant sign for her. It was a bunch of fun! Kira's boyfriend Tanner was a great sport and found a bunch of college students to hold up the sign for us. We were missing the "E" on the end of Sue, ha ha, but tons of fun. Kira did great and loved the sign!

This was why I was posting about fall, it was cold at the game! It really cracked me up that two weeks before Paul and us were at the lake. We were wearing snow clothes at the game, and now it is back to shorts weather again. I love fall, wish it would last a little longer!

What happens after 5

It's kind of sad what happens after a person has had five kids. I like to pretend that I have just gotten more laid back, but to be honest I have gotten so lazy! I'll admit it I am just plain TIRED! The other day I totally let Cooper take my 2 month old baby on a stroller ride all by himself. I watched out the window for a long time and thought it was so sweet, but still he's 2 months old. Even worse the other day I had to help Dayson and Talee with their bikes, when I came in the house Cooper was pushing Tucker around the house in a cardboard box. It will make him tough, right??? I can't be everywhere that is why I am so grateful that my kids absolutely love helping out with Tucker, I am so amazed at how well they do with him.

Coop was even nice enough to give Tucker a ride in the swing.

You can tell by Tucker's face that he is absolutely thrilled! We all thought it was cute.

At least he thought to put a pillow under his back. He is very sweet with him.

Look at that tub of love!!! He finally likes his bath and is smiling at the audience of Talee, Dayson, and Trey who are "helping" with the bath. Who knew he would be such a super star to his brothers and sister, (for now anyway ha ha).

Labor Day!

I wasn't going to add old pictures, but I decided there were two sets of pictures I wanted to add. We went camping over Labor Day for Dayson's birthday. We had tons of fun.




Talee usually likes going riding, but she was tired and very sick of her helmet, it was pretty funny!

Dayson's poor cake... I had made two rounds and knew what I was going to do with them. I had to run an errand and left Mike in charge (ha ha) I came home and Dace and Ta had eaten the better part of both cakes. We were leaving for camping, so this poor cake got filled in with frosting and brought camping. Dace had also man-handled it a ton the whole way to the mountain, so it had seen better days! Pretty funny!

We tried to make it special since he didn't have a party. He had a pinata' and glow sticks and lots of fun camping.

This is my favorite picture of Tucker. I know that beanie is dorky, but I cannot help loving it! I think he looks so stinkin' cute!

Both Cooper and Trey's motorcycles stopped working and instead of Mike working on them the whole day we loaded up in the rhino and went on a ride. Jeanie and Billy were up on the mountain too, so she kept Tucker with her. Behind us was a gorgeous waterfall. Pictures like this always make me smile, everyone looks pretty after a day full of riding! Ha ha!

Here we are!

Here is our story, I hope you enjoy as much as we do!
