After a nice bath.

Hes pretty cute.

You would think it was ALREADY Chirstmas

The Toys R Us book of toys showed up this weekend and the kids went CRAZY over it. We get it every year and they dont really care. But this year...they were fighting over it...doing things I told them to do just so they could look at it. And by the end of it, the book was destroyed and I had to throw it away.

They didnt really pick out anything they wanted (ok I take that back, they wanted everything) but nothing specific. I guess we will just have to see what Santa brings.

It doesnt take much to make me happy

This is my indulgence. I love me some diet dr pepper. But what I love more is those times Scott drops in on his way back to work from the run and he brings me one. He knows just how I like it. With a squirt of the hard stuff....real dr. pepper. :) I love that boy.

Broadway?

The girls have enjoyed watching Anie (the musical) the last couple days. We've had the video for a long time but they've never wanted to watch it til now. The other day Brinley was watching it and I saw her down there doing all of the dance actions along with the movie. I thought it was so cute. But of course, when I go to try to take a sneaky picture, the flash goes off and ruins everything. So these are the best pictures I got of her.

Sick of Deer Hunting pictures yet?

Well thats been our life for the last 2 months. So I have lots of pics to share. This last weekend we went up again. I think its going to be our last weekend. This weekend Scott is going up, but Ive got stuff to do here...so I think we are packin' it up til next year. Here are some pictures from this last weekend.

Ty and I went on a little ride around camp and I just thought his smile in this picture was so so cute.



Then Scott Ty and I went up to the mine. I told those boys that I was going to take a picture of them and a bear was going to pop his head out of there. I was really waiting for it to happen. It was giving me the creeps.



Monkey See, Monkey Do. Ty and Chase on the trailor runnning back and forth. They are always copying what the other one is doing. Wether it be bad or good.



Dad was struck by Brinley. She was piling stuff on top of his head.



Grandma did crafts with the kids.



Then we ended the night with Twinkees!!

Work was HARD today!

Goodness, those boys are going to run me ragged!!! Today I was trying to make a pasta salad to take to lunch with Amy, Holly and Jacoy. Should be easy enough, right. Lisa called for our daily chat and those boys thought it would be a great time to get into EVERYTHING they could while mom couldnt just yell at them!!
So Im making the salad, having a good conversation with Lisa when I turn around. Ty has gotten out the eggs and given them to Chase. He is throwing them on the ground. He broke 4 in like a 2 second time span. So Im still on the phone, scrubbing the floor when I turn around and Chase has all the tortilla chips throwing them on the floor. Once again, thanks to Ty. So I throw the bag on the counter, run to get the vacuum. Come back, and they have the flour and sugar buckets out. Luckily I caught them before they got those open but BOY...those boys were relentless!!! EVERYWHERE!!

So if anyone ever asks me if I work. Why yes I do, I had worked up a sweat. Running back and forth. All with the phone in my ear. Just like a "real" job, right?

Anyway, then we went to lunch, played, ate, talked. Came home, put them to bed. And everything is A-OK now. Life is once again...GOOD.

Happy Birthday Melissa!!!

I just wanted to tell my sister in law, Missy, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!!! She is a great SIL and babysits for me all the time without complaining!! I know everytime she gets a text from me saying "Hey, what are ya doing tonight" She cringes but she still comes and watches my four little hoodlums anyway!!
So happy birthday Melissa!! Hope you had a great day. And to all those guys out there...shes single... But you have to pass my test to date her. ;-) (and the test of her SIX other sisters and THREE other brothers)

Pumpkin Patch

On Monday we went to the pumpkin patch with all of the family. The kids loved it. They got to see all of their cousins AND got to dress up! What could be better? It has a corn maze and then some little jumpy things they can jump on and then a play ground. We do this every year and every year the kids look SO forward to it.

Lulla-bye...

The boys were having a hard time going to sleep last night which is very unusal for them. I usually just put them in their cribs with their water cups and they talk to eachother for awhile and then they fall asleep. So easy.

Well not last night. They were not having it. So after much screaming I decided to go in their room and rock Chase. The one who was screaming the most. I get him out and he cuddles right up to me and starts to fall asleep. So I decide to sing a lullabye.

But OBVIOUSLY Mr Ty thought I chose the wrong song. What 'lulla-byes' does he want?

Hey There Delilah
Life is a Highway

These are not on my lullabye list. But they were last night. And it put them to sleep, so who am I to complain.

(if you dont know these songs, I added them to my playlist)

Thanks Dad!!!

My dad wanted me to load some pics on to my computer and post some to the family site and I found some cute ones. So I thought Id share. The one of Shaylee passed out on the back of the wheeler made me laugh out loud. Theres some of Brinleys grandma and grandpa program. And one with her teacher.

States Fair.

ANOTHER FIFTH GRADE PROJECT..... beware out there..those who have not been through 5th grade yet. The homework is CRAZY!!! This is Jentry's..lets see, about 5th project since school has started. And this one was a biggie. Everyone had to have a state and do a project on it. She had South Dakota. There were state symbols, maps, flags, brochures, 3d maps (we made a cake flagging all the 69 counties), fake letters to friends after visiting that state. Gosh, theres more then that...but I cant remember.
Anyway, they had them on display this last Friday. I took the boys, and the two boys I babysat to go check out the display. I cant believe some of the other kids' displays. WOW!! I was impressed. I was also impressed with Jentry. She had a mandatory 600 pts to get. And then 1000 if you wanted an A. She ended up with 1650. Way to go Jentry!!!

Sorry for not posting all that often. But we are just doing the usual everyday. Which is fine by me!!
Get up, get ready for school.
Clean
Lunch
Put boys down for a nap (ITS THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE DAY!)
Do billing.
Kids come home.
Play
Make dinner.
Eat.
Do homework.
Get ready for bed.

Thats our day. Sometimes we throw in a lunch out, piano lessons, grocery shopping or my favorite...a night out without the kiddos!!!

A week without Ty.

This last week was the muzzleloader hunt. My mom and dad took Ty and my neice Shaylee up for the whole week. This is the first time Ive been away from Ty (except to have Chase) for more then a night. Of course, he got spoiled up there and didnt want to come home at all. I took the girls up on Thursday night because they didnt have school on Friday. Thinking maybe, just maybe Ty would want to come home. I pulled up and he actually looked excited to see me. But when I picked him and and mentioned him coming home he would have nothing more to do with me. He told me, "Im staying with Grandpa!"

Chase did enjoy his week at home being the only baby though. No one was there to rip every single toy out of his hand or to take away the attention from him and he ate that up.

We ended up going up on Saturday for the day. Chase had a tummy bug and didnt feel good and puked the whole way up. :-( He was good for the rest of the day until about night fall and then got sick again.

But I did get my Ty back and he talked my leg off the whole way home.

Heres a couple of pics



Scott taught the boys how to shoot a bb gun.



Grandpa Scott came up with the Scotts. I was suprised to see that he actually came up.



Now only 1 more hunt... at the end of this month. And then we will pack it up until next year.

One of these things is not like the other...

...One of these things is kinda the same. Remember that song from Sesame Street? Well thats what I thought of when I saw this picture Scott took. I told ya theres nothing she likes better then going hunting with all of the boys.

Childhood Friends

I found a few of my old friends on face book this last month. When I heard that Lisa (my best friend since forever) was coming to visit from AZ this last weekend we decided we would meet at the Hillcrest Park (the park by our old elementary school).
Me, Lisa, Heather and Kim were able to get together for a quick reunion. It was fun to catch up on eachother and show off all of our cute kids. We will have to do it in another 10 years. ;)

Chases Fix-It Shop ---Free Estimates

He takes after his dad.

We went to the park....

I dont know why we dont do this more often. The kids love it. They are always good. But I guess Im just a lazy mom. Anyway, Kayleah had invited Jentry to come see Jace's game. So I took her to the park to watch it and just decided to stay for awhile.

I didnt get any really good pictures. Mostly the tops of heads or the back of someone because they were running around like mad!! And by the time I snapped the pic they were outta there!!



One cute thing that happened was a little girl came up to me and said... Is that your little boy (pointing to Chase) and I said yes. Thinking she was going to tell me he did something to her. She asked, "can I keep an eye on him?" I told her yes. And boy oh boy did she keep an eye on him (for the 2 minutes before her mom called her. She seriously was so close to him most of the time that Chase kept looking at her weird, like...what do you think you are doing. It was very cute.

She gets her fashion sense from her mom...

Need I say more?

Its a Hard Knock Life...

Fry Family Reunion...

Last Saturday was the anual Fry family reunion. This year they were doing a benefit auction for my Uncle Steve who will be getting a heart transplant soon (WE HOPE!) There were a lot of people that showed up, a lot of cute items for the auction, and a lot of generosity.

Here are a few pictures from it...
