my life brought to you by my camera phone.

We went to an Eagle Scout court of honor on Saturday and on the way home the kids were engrossed in a movie. The little princess sitting in the middle with cookie on her face sitting in her new car seat.

I'm hoping someone will see this and immediately nominate me for mother of the year! (fingers crossed)
Last week Cory had to take my vehicle to work to pick something up on the way home so I was left with his car. Me, Mataya, and Spencer needed to run a VERY important errand to Maverick for a 44 oz diet coke. We get out to the car to discover the battery is dead. At first I thought Cory was trying to sabotage me, but the lights got left on (allegedly). And I didn't feel like hooking up the battery charger and waiting so we took off on foot. This is Spencer by a little stream that goes along a walking path. I felt a little bad for dragging my kids to the store because it was cold and windy. I just told them we were going on a little adventure:)
The double eye patch is a nice touch.

my beautiful children.











catapult.


Parker: "Mom can I build a catapult?"

Me: "Sure, why not?"

Parker: "All I need is a flame thrower, a hatchet, and some wood!"

Me: "Hmm."


He then runs to the big craft bin and grabs some plastic straws, pipe cleaners, and colored paper.

Apparently those things work just as well:)

the crown burger goodbye.

My sister and her family recently moved to Texas (boo!) We are sad they live so far away, but were glad we got together one last time to see them and eat at Crown Burger.

flaming gorge.

Here are some pictures from our weekend camping trip to Flaming Gorge. It's a really pretty place. My sister Melissa and her family camped with us and they have a boat so it was really fun. We had some crazy weather, but had yummy food and made the most of it:)

Mataya wanted to hold the crawdad.


The boys went exploring and made a lot of cool discoveries.

This was so cute she put her hands on her knees and was saying "cheese".
Best Buds!
All looking at the camera AND smiling.....it doesn't happen very often:)
