An eventful week!

This week has been interesting for sure! First of all, on the way to work a 30 hour shift, Justin's car broke down on the freeway. So we went to get him and took him to the hospital, which is an hour away. We had the car towed home and kept our fingers crossed that it wasn't too bad. Having one car really stinks!! Especially since we both had to work that weekend. Our friend was nice enough to let me take her car since she was stuck at my house watching our four kids the whole weekend!!! The dryer broke the next day and it was three days before someone could come and look at it. A lot of laundry had piled up and we were running low on clothes!!! Well, all is well and we have a working dryer and our car needs a new engine. Still having one car is really a pain, but we are getting by. 


Here are some pictures of each of the kids. They are getting pretty tan (well, tan for us :))since they practically live outside!

Kenley is my little helper! She thinks she is the boss, so sometimes I just let her have a turn!!


Kade really has the cutest smile, but if you tell him to smile for a picture - it just doesn't happen! This is the best we could get.




This is Marcus for you - mischievous. He loves to cause trouble lately. This is after eating a doughnut. We were stressed out and needed a treat!

What a happy baby!!! He is such a fun boy to have around!!



We went to the zoo on the 3rd since Justin would be working on the 4th. The kids had a blast and couldn't get enough of all the animals. For a non animal lover I actually had a great time too!

They let you go in pet and groom the little goats. No way in heck was I getting in there, I offered to take care of Miles outside of the gate!!!
We have a picture of the kids on this lion from last year, minus Miles. Hopefully it won't be a tradition to add another kid each year to the picture!!


The kids before we left for a BBQ with friends on the 4th. Miles, as you can see, was not thrilled about having his picture taken. Justin ended up working all day and didn't get to join in on the festivities. The kids weren't sure about the fireworks at first, but by the end they loved it! Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July!!!!

This may be mean of me, but I love the sad picture of Miles! He just looks like he need a hug and I want to give it to him!! :)
The kids look so great - much more tan than me...
As soon as I saw the picture of the goats I thought "no way, I can't believe Amber went in there!" But of couse, you didn't. :)

Amber, it is great to be able to see your family and all the fun times you are having (and challenges, I know, I am right there with ya). My friends encouraged me to get a blog going and I finally did it. Come see it! sixcrazycookiesallinarow.blogspot.com
