NEW DISCOVERY!!!!!

SO I'D BEEN HEARING RUMORS ABOUT THIS FUN WATER PARK IN ALBUQUERQUE PERFECT FOR THE KIDS AND A TON OF FUN....BEST OF ALL IT'S JUST ABOUT FREE!!!!

THE KIDS HAD A BLAST WE JUST PACKED LUNCHES AND SPENT A COUPLE HOURS THERE.....

THIS IS HYRUM, AMANDALYNN'S LITTLE MUNCHKIN AND I WISH I HAD GOTTEN A PIC OF HIS FACE HE WAS JUST SITTING HERE WITH A HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE WATCHING ALL THE KIDS RUNNING AROUND IN THE WATER. WHEN ASKED IF HE WANTED TO GO BACK IN HE SAID "I JUST WANT TO WATCH" WITH A HUGE BEAMING SMILE...SO DANG CUTE!!!!


MATTHEW WAS TRYING TO BE BRAVE BUT NEVER MADE IT TOO FAR IN WITHOUT AN ADULT WHICH IS RARE NORMALLY I WOULD BE CHASING HIM ...MAYBE MY LUCK IS KICKING IN AND HE'LL BE A LITTLE MORE CAUTIOUS NOW......LOL YEAH RIGHT!!!! HE WAS PROBABLY JUST COMING BACK FOR MORE FOOD:)

WENDEL AND ASHTON WARMING UP AFTER RUNNING AROUND. AT ONE POINT AND OF COURSE I MISSED THE PHOTO OPP ...SEVEN OF THE ELEVEN COUSINS WERE SUN BATHING ALL IN THE SAME POSE.. SO CUTE BUT I WAS AFRAID I WOULD GET THE CAMERA WET. I'M LAME!!!!

SUCH A FUN PARK IT'S DOWN OFF EUBANK AND CENTRAL JUST SOUTH OF THE COSTCO. TONS OF FUN!!!!!!

CAROUSSEL RIDE AT THE MALL!!!!

WE HAD A BLAST BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I COULDN'T GET THEM BOTH TO LOOK AT THE SAME TIME:) LOL I GUESS THATS ONE OF THE JOYS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.....AND WHY THATS NOT MY SPECIALTY:) SO CUTE THOUGH I GOT EXTREMELY DIZZY TRYING TO TAKE PICS AND THEN MATTHEW DECIDED HE WANTED TO RIDE THE HORSE NEXT TO HIM SO MID RIDE HE STARTED CLIMBING OVER. SO FUN SO DIZZY SO DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THE MALL FOR AWHILE:) LOL

POOL TIME!!!!!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WARM WEATHER, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THE WINTER THIS YEAR!!!! MATTHEW AND HIS COUSIN AUDREY PLAYING IN THE POOL AT GRANDMA PEDROTTY'S HOUSE. SHE WENT BACK TO OHIO YESTERDAY AND WE MISS HER ALREADY:( I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WARM WEATHER, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THE WINTER THIS YEAR!!!!

JUST CALL ME DASH:)

JUST OUT OF THE BATH SO DON'T MIND THE CRAZY DO, BUT THESE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE JAMMIES AND WELL LETS FACE IT THEY'RE A LITTLE SNUG:(. BY THE TIME THEY GET BACK THROUGH THE LAUNDRY THEY WILL PROBABLY BE TOO SMALL. ANYWAYS I HAD TO GET SOME PICS ONE LAST TIME BUT THE LITTLE STINKER WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND WOULD NOT PUT THE BUBBLES DOWN! OH WELL THEY ARE CUTE JAMMIES AND I THINK HE LOOKS LIKE DASH ME AND KURT LAUGH PRETTY HARD WHEN HE WEARS THEM. I LOVE THE UNDERWEAR PART LOL IT'S SO FUNNY !!!!!

FUN TIMES WITH OHIO RELATIVES!

WE WENT TO BOUNCE YOU AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS ....ITS AMAZING:) IT'S AN INDOOR INFLATABLE'S GYMANASIUM OR TWO ROOMS FULL OF DIFFERANT JUMPY THINGS HOWEVER YOU WANT TO PUT IT .....MATTHEW SQUEALS WHEN WE WALK THROUGH THE DOOR AND PLAYS SO HARD HE CAN HARDLY STAND AT THE END. THESE ARE SOME PICS OF HIM AND HIS COUSIN AUDREY FROM OHIO ( WE SAY COUSIN BUT I GUES SHE'S KURT'S COUSINS BABY...SAME THING) ANYWAYS THEY WERE TAKING EACHOTHER OUT ON THE SLIDES AND COMPETING TO GET UP TO THE SLIDE FIRST AND JUST LAUGHING THE WHOLE TIME....SO WAS I. KIDS DO THE FUNNIEST THINGS ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T TALK A WHOLE LOT YET THEY EXPRESS THEIR EMOTIONS THROUGH NOISES AND FACES AND CLAPPING AND IT REDICULOUSLY ENTERTAINING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AND THE PIZZA JOINT NEXT STORE ROCKS TO:)

YES THE ZOO YET AGAIN I SWEAR I WASN'T LYING WHEN I SAID EVERY WEEK BUT THIS TIME WE WATCHED THE BIRD SHOW AND DID SOME OTHER ADVENTUROUSE THINGS WE'DE NEVER DONE LIKE THESE PICS .... HE LOVED IT! WE FED THE GIRRAFFES AND THEY WRAPPED THEIR TOUNGES AROUND HIS LITTLE HANDS AND TOOK THE LEAVES. HE DID IT THREE TIMES BUT BY THE FOURTH TIME HE WAS A LITTLE NERVOUSE AND KINDA OVER IT, I LAUGHED PRETTY HARD THOUGH HE WAS PRETTY BRAVE AND ALSO EXTREMELY SURPRISED WHEN HE FIRST FELT THE TOUNGE, ALL THE PEEPS BEHIND US WERE DYING LAUGHING.

MY SON THE CAR WASH

KURTS PARENTS BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO WE WENT

OVER TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY BOUGHT IT IN

FLORIDA AND ON THE DRIVE BACK THEY ACCUMULATED

SOME PRETTY RONCHY LOOKING BUGS ALL OVER SO

WHEN WE PULLED UP THEY WERE SPRAYING IT DOWN

AND WELL MATTHEW HAS AN OBSESSION WITH WATER

AND FELT HE REALLY NEEDED TO HELP. I LOVE THE

PICS WHEN HE LOOKS SO INTENSE AND CONCENTRATED

IT CRACKS ME UP! BY THE TIME IT WAS ALL OVER HE

WAS PRETTY CLEAN HIMSELF AND ALL SMILES. HE WAS

SO PROUD OF HIMSELF. IT'S SO CRAZY THAT KIDS

ARE JUST BORN WITH THEIR PERSONALITIES IT AMAZES

ME THAT HE CAN ALREADY BE THIS LITTLE PERSON

AND HE HASN'T REALLY HAD ANY LIFE ALTERING

EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE MOLDED HIM INTO...WELL

HIM BUT HE IS SO STUBBORN AND SO INDEPENDANT

WHEN HE WANTS TO BE AND SUCH A LITTLE JOKSTER

AND SO DARING AND SURE OF HIMSELF. HE'S DEFINATLY

KURTS CHILD IN THE WAY HE HAS NO INHIBITIONS AND

LOADS OF CONFIDENCE. I LOVE THAT I CAN SEE IN HIM

STRENGTHS THAT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY WEEKNESSES

AND HOW MUCH BETTER HE'LL DO THAN I EVER DID

BECAUSE HE HAS THOSE QUALITIES I FEEL LIKE I NEVER

HAD BUT ALWAYS WANTED. I AM SO SO SO GRATEFUL

THAT HE WON'T HAVE SOME OF THE SAME TRIALS I DID

BUT THEN AGAIN I'M SCARED THAT I WON'T KNOW

HOW TO PARENT HIM THROUGH HIS TRIALS

BECAUSE I WON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S GOING THROUGH.

AHHHHHHHH PARENTHOOD ....IT'S INCREDIBLE AND

AT THE SAME TIME INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENING.
