Home again...

Some of you might get tired of my camping pictures, but thats what we do. We were gone again this weekend and enjoying the much needed family time and friends.
Here's that Amy.
Amy again, following us.
Whats this? Be still my heart! Is that Rick? Why, yes it is!! Can you believe our son went with us for an entire weekend? I LOVE IT!!! BTW, the pretty brunette is is gf Cynthia. Her first time camping and first time riding. She rode Amy's quad and then Rick took her for lots of rides in the Ranger. She liked t. (Except the fact that her and Rick got pulled over Friday night by rangers for no tail light on the 90.) Thankfully they let them go.
Just some visiting going on.
Showing off on the 50.
Nice form, I give him a 10! LOL
Girls, just want to have fun!
Check out the toys, looks like a playground in the middle of nowhere.
Poor Hannah was having trouble walking in all the ruts from the mud a few weeks ago. Her poor little legs are all scraped up.
But that didn't stop her from doing this... She kept pushing Kents hand off the handle bars and would say "hannah do, hannah do!"
Here Hannah was saying, "more mommy, please", and the she would say "help, momma help hannah"
Kent all ready for a "boys" ride, that means they go fast and far. No kids or women get to go on these rides.
Who is that big girl? Doesn't Hannah look so big?
Hannah and Link, future BFF's ?? We will see, maybe someday.
Just diggin' in the dirt. They love the dirt!!
I took this picture from my motor home to hers. My zoom on my camera is awesome!! Momma and Payton.
Link was just chillin.
My sister bought this for Amy's birthday a few years ago. Well, we finally put it up and the kids loved it!
Pretty soon there was standing room only.
Jarrett helped Hannah put Amy's boots on. Maybe this will protect her knees.
These kids all play so nice together. Its a great time for them and us adults!! Love camping with this bunch!
Amy following Kent in the Ranger. She is so brave.
Hot stuff on that turn.
I think Hannah likes it too.
Thanks for the fun weekend. Can't wait to go again for Easter!!

Easter is on its way.....

Our church is making Easter Baskets for less fortunate kids. So I picked up a basket last Sunday for a 6 year old girl. I filled it full of goodies and personal items. I have a barbie, Kite, Journal, pencils, jump rope, bubbles, nail polish, pretty soap, chap stick, q-tips, pretty lotions, hair brush, two toothbrushes, 3 travel size toothpaste, floss, Chocolate bunny, lollipop, and a few other odds and ends.
Hope she enjoys it!!

Picnic on the playground

One Friday a month, Amy's school has "picnic on the playground" where you get to come and have lunch with you child. Today was the day. Hannah and I went to Wendy's and picked up lunch. Then we waited for Amy to get out of class.
Here she is...
Her little friend Morgan bought her lunch and then joined us on the blanket.
After they ate they ran to go and play.
Around and around she went...
Then they came back to get a quick drink and tackle Hannah.
I let Hannah climb with Amy. I took this picture and thought it was pretty cute of my girls.
Then we went to the slide.
After that it was time to go back to class. We had a fun time and got to see Aunt Kelly and the boys, plus some other friends too. Hannah was so tried she went right down for a nap. Hope she wakes up in time to pick up sister from school!!

Happiest Place on Earth

DISNEYLAND!!!

Wednesday, we took the girls to disneyland. (Hannah's first trip).
Here we are on the 91 fwy. Happy Happy.
I asked the girls to make silly faces, this is what I got.
Can you tell they are excited?
We have arrived at the Magic Kingdom!!
First stop, Peter Pan.
This was Hannah's first ride. She LOVED it!!
Dumbo was the 4th ride and Kent could not get her off. She was crying. She wanted to stay on dumbo ALL day.
Amy and I on Dumbo.
Then it was off to Casey Jr. Train, the kids made us all sit in the Monkey cage.
Amy took ths picture of us. She is getting really good with the camera.
Next the Tea Cups.
Here's the only two to attempt them. Hannah and I watched from the side.
(It doesn't look like Kent was having much fun, but he said Amy wanted to do it, so he just sat back.)
On to Autotopia. On my gosh, this kid was killing me. We laughed so hard my side hurt when we got off. Hannah and Kent were so far behind I never was able to get a picture of them. Kent let Hannah drive. It was so funny to look back and see only Kent in the passenger seat. I never could see Hannah. He said Hannah was cracking up!
Then we had lunch at the Blue Bayou. We were lucky enough to sit right on the water. It was really fun.
After lunch, we meet up with Danielle, Link, Tawnya, Payton, Vicki, Linda and another friend of theres. We all went on Pirates together. We headed off to the Haunted Mansion and they scooted off to California Adventure. Hannah did so awesome the Haunted Mansion, didn't even faze her. Soon it was nap time. While Hannah napped Amy and I went on Splash Mountain and then headed over to Thunder Mountain where we took turns riding with Amy and the other letting Hannah nap.
Amy LOVED the roller coaster.
Now that Hannah was well rested we headed back over to Winnie the pooh. I absolutely love this ride. (Besides the fact that Pooh is my favorite character.) Since there was NO line we got to stay on and do it twice!
These girls were amazing!!
Just a little Hunny break!
Its a small world has new boats! They are plastic and very comfy. Once again no line, so we rode it twice without having to get off. Kent wasn't so happy about that. However, me and the girls loved it.
Look how excited she was to go again!
LOL
This is her cheese face.
M I C see you real soon, K E Y why because we like you, M O U S E!
Cute Minnies!
Can you spell Exhausted.
Just a little snack on the way out of the park.
DONE!!! Look at Amys leg,the rest of her is curled up in a ball.
This was this morning they both wanted to wear their new shirts.
What a great day. I counted that we went on 25 rides and 10 hours later we were home! Now the BIG decision is, pass or no pass. With working basically full time and Amy is in school how many times would be actually go?

WE'RE BACK.........

from camping that is.....
We went to the Terra del Sol in Ocotillo this weekend.
It was very fun to watch all the jeeps playing in the "worm".
I think the girls had a blast too.
Sweet lil Hannah already to ride.
Sweet Miss. Amy all ready to ride. ( I think I need to find her a different color chest protecter. This yellow just doesn't match!)
Hannah and Daddy out for a ride.
I think this was the best part of the weekend. While Tawnya was getting ready for the day, I got to hold and snuggle baby Payton. She is such a doll.
Amy and her friend Jordon. They go to school together.
These girls were cracking me up. They were doing the Chicken dance in out motor home.
Sleepy baby girl. She was so exhausted from all the days activities.

I have no idea why I didn't take more pictures. We were down with the jeeps and watching them crawl the walls and my camera was back at camp. UGH. I guess I was having a camera issue. Oh well, we will be going again soon. I heard it rained here. Some even lost power. We had NO rain until 5:00 am.m Sunday morning. So we headed out earlier then we normally would have. That was kind of nice, because I actually have ALL the dirty riding clothes and motor home towels, etc. all cleaned and back in the motor home! YIPEE!!!
Happy Sunday!! Hope you all have a great week.

Pretty hair

Amy came home with a fundraiser from school. They are selling Cookie Dough, so if any of you want to buy some let me know. Its $14.00 makes 40 cookies. Flavors: Chocolate chip, Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter, White chocolate Macadamia and Snickerdoodle. I will have it by March 30, 2010. Thanks for your support a head of time.

Amy wanted her hair to be curly for school today. So I put 5 small french braids in it last night. This is what it looked like today. Can you tell how happy she is?

Serious BIG hair here!
