LONG POST

It's been a while since I last blogged and much has gone on since then. To be honest with everyone I haven't blogged in almost a month because I feel like my life has been well- TURNED UP SIDE DOWN, I have had a lot of things happen lately that I look back at my life and think how the HECK DID I GET HERE..... It seems that everyone is always blogging about what wonderful things are going on in their lives -well come on people things are not always as they seem. So to those of you that think this is negative then get real because LIFE ISN'T FAIR.....
So enough about what's not fair- what is fair is that... UMMMM I have the cutest kids EVER.


Let's start with Memorial Day.
Today was a fun day, the boys and I went with my parents and my crazy little sisters to Morgan. Every year we head to Morgan to put flowers at the graves. This is something that my family has done for years, I can even remember going with my grandpa Dickson/ Amos years ago before he passed away. After the Morgan Cemetery we always head to Porterville Cemetery. Today when we were at the cemeteries Annie kept saying what a creepy place cemeteries are and I had to disagree with her. I am the one that is scared of the dark and cemeteries but not those two cemeteries. I grew up going there and so I don't find them creepy at all. I was telling my sisters about years ago when I was on a date we went to the Porterville cemetery in the dark to watch a rain storm and they flipped out to think I would go to such a creepy place at night in the middle of nowhere.( What a bunch of sissy girls LOL...)
It was to bad that it rained because it would have been fun to take the boys on a hike to the M, which has been something we've done many times before on Memorial Day.
Another tradition you could say about Memorial Day is that we always go to Steph's which has some of the best food ever. When I was little we would walk from Grandpa's house over and get shakes and fries, they use to have these rootbeer float freeze that were wonderful and the best part about Steph's is the Grasshopper shakes, no one else makes them the same.
Another thing we always do is go the park which I realized today is called Riverside park, and in all my time I've spent in Morgan I never knew the parks name until today.

Zack on the swing - notice his red hair, that's what I get for having issues about red hair..

Brock swinging all by himself - what a BIG boy.
Mom and Zack on the swing - I go rained on minutes before so that's why my hair is out of control.

Couple Sunday's ago we had dinner at TJ's parents house, since it was warm we played outside and Zack had a blast playing on Brock's bike. Zack does just fine getting on and off the bike on his own.





The first part of Memorial Day weekend we headed to Island Park to the cabin and these are some picture TJ took while there. Friday we went to Yellowstone and Brock had a blast. At first he was asleep but the first buffalo we saw he was awake and asking if he could pet it. That's Brock for ya!!


Bullwinkle outside the cabin just hanging out.
Mr. Crow wasn't afraid of anyone and was getting a little to close to Brock.
Bald Eagle- everyone that saw it said it was the biggest Bald Eagle they had seen.

Kristina, I'm sorry to hear you've been going through a tough time. I'm glad you said something - I think it's much better to acknowledge when we're having tough times instead of living in denial or not reaching out. Let me know if I can help in any way.

You definitely do have some CUTE kids. Love Zack's hair!
