Passing Time...

I feel like these past few weeks have just been passing time. The family i was doing summer preschool for has had to take a hiatus...so the kids and I are just doing whatever to fill our days. It's crazy...I don't think the kids nor I really know how to deal with all the time...we haven't had it in long time. The house definitely gets a lot dirtier a lot faster (some of that may be due to Taylee turning one and wreaking havoc on everything and Carter potty-training)

Sara took this pic when she was babysitting...she said Tay just came and laid her head down on the rug while Sara was cleaning the kitchen...she must've been really tired!


Carter would read books in his bed all night long if we let him. Seriously, a few weeks ago I went in at midnight and he was still up reading! Reminds me of pictures of me when I was younger.

Our silly guy. We found him asleep on his floor like this: swimming hat on and golf club tucked in his arms...wonder what goes on in that head??

Our big trip for the summer is coming up...this weekend ALL MY FAMILY COMES IN!!! I am sooo excited for this trip. My parents and youngest siblings drive in on Saturday, my sister Janessa and her husband and two girls fly in Saturday, my sister Krista, her husband, and two girls drive in Sunday, and my brother Chris and his girlfriend come in the next Thursday. This will be the first time we've all been together in...a long time. On Monday we leave for Yellowstone where we'll stay a day in Lake Yellowstone and two days at Old Faithful. The Yellowstone trip was always one of my favorites growing up and I'm so excited I get to share it with Ty and the kids again. I have to admit that one major reason I'm so excited for this trip is because Ty gets to take off work and just hang out with us ALL DAY! Wahoo! Carter's potty training is definitely getting better and I think this trip will be the true test if he can survive in the real world. Carter talks all the time about "Annie, Abby, Grace"...he is so excited to be around his fun girl cousins again. He called Marissa and McKayla tonight just to talk and serenaded them...only 6 more days! I can't wait guys!! Drive/fly safely!!
