Wheeler Farm Summer Camp!

So the kids will be switching schools and daycares next month so we are trying to slowly move them away from their comfort zones and make then see that change is good! So we took them out of the usual daycare and put then into this wheeler farm day camp! It is awesome, they collect eggs, milk cows, ride horses, feed pigs, dip candles.. I wish they had it around when I was a kid! They were nervous the first day (when I say nervous I mean they were clinging to each of my legs LOL) but after that day they ran off without so much as a wave goodbye each time we drop them off. Here are a few pics just hanging out at the farm.
Some of the ducks have these weird feather puffs on their heads, and Samantha is calling them Afro-Ducks. LOL

This little calf 'Molly' was born on the day they started camp, they were so excited to see her all week!

Family Camp Weekend

Well, we had to make it up to them.. Since Memorial Day was a bust and had to be canceled because of snow on the ground, we decided that camping over the weekend of my birthday and Father's day was a good time to go and celebrate all of it TOGETHER! We only stayed for a couple of nights but we had a lot of fun. :) --- There are a lot of pics.. Sorry! LOL

Sam showing off the tent... Look out Vanna White!!

Roasting hot dogs and marshmallows!!

SMORE'S!!

Sam Was making faces and making Niko Laugh! Goofballs..

I was trying to be sneaky and take pics, he caught me.. hehe

She didn't catch me.. She was walking back and forth from the river to camp singing the Jungle Book song.. "I'll go to fetch the water...." LOL

Oh yeah... Lookin good.. LOL These outfits are CRAZY!!

Huck Finn choppin wood.. *snicker*

The boys climbed the mountian.. :)

Sam stole Craig's hat and took off running..

But he caught her and got it right back.. :)

After a long day... they were sound asleep... Snug as bugs..

Bar Fight? Hehe

So during the DeWolf family party we all saw and/or heard Niko hit the floor after falling four feet off the church stage and into the gym floor.. on his face. It was a super scary moment for all of us when he was screaming so hard he almost blacked out.. I was so scared to let him fall asleep for fear he had a concussion (didn't know if he hit his head or face or what!) on the ride home! LOL.. poor little guy, after an hour or so he looked up at me with the most tired eyes and a hint of worry and said, "Is it safe to sleep now.." no sooner did I say yes he was fast asleep. This was a pic I took before he went to bed that night. The next morning it was sore but all was well. :)

BEE's Game

So I tried to keep the weekend going strong so that the sting of not-camping would start to go away, so... we took the kids to a Bee's Game! I thought it would be fun and the kids loved it at first, that was until the hot dogs and the snow cones were gone, by the end of the 9th inning we were tied.. which sent us into a 10th.. LOL. The kids thought it would never end, by the 7th inning it was like we were torturing them.. Patience is a tough lesson..

This was the run that tied us up in the 9th!

This is where the torture started to show.. ROFL!!!

But then they got little wooden bats and suddenly the wait was allllllll worth it! :)

Memorial Day - Change of Plans..

So we had planned to go camping on Memorial Day this year, we had the site reserved and all the gear ready in the front of the storage, the kids were sooooo excited... And then I got an email and a phone call saying my campsite was being cancelled because there was stilla foot of snow on the ground.. what a bummer.

So instead we went to the park for a picnic and then up Mill Creek Canyon to do some hiking, it was a good day but let's all hope Mother nature makes a decision soon, we are aiming again for Father's Day weekend to go camping and it better be nice!!!

Playing Catch with Daddy!


Climbing Trees!

Ever seen anyone this happy over a Ding-Dong? HAHAHA

By the river in Mill Creek.

So sweeettt... :)

Has it really Been A Month??

Okay, I guess I got too caught up looking at all the babies and the lives of others to actually add anything to my blog. I just read on Megan's blog that it had been a month since my last post, so.. I figure I should put something up so ya'll doing think I've died... ;)

Stay tuned...
