POOL PARTY!!!!!!

AHHH..... The pool. We had a APX pool party at Cherise's parents house in Spokane, WA. Thanks Cherise. We had alot of fun. Mason enjoyed riding the four-wheeler with Lucus and jumping on the tramp with Lucus. ( Pretty much anything with Lucus) Mckenna really liked the pool. She sat in the little floaty for an hour. She also liked riding the four-wheeler with Mason. Aric had a good time rough housing with the guys, doing guy things. LOL. I enjoyed sitting next to the pool watching Aric and the kids. Sun tanning, oh ya. I put two coats of sunscreen on Mckenna but it didn't seem to help. My poor baby was fried. She was so red. I felt so bad. I guess she got her daddy's skin. Mason got a tan with one coat of sunscreen. Go figure. Aric was very fried. He was quite upset afterwords ( as were quite a few others) that he didn't put sunscreen on. We all insisted on geting a tan. In return we were all burnt. Including me. But on the bright side my pasty white legs got some color. Even if it was red. Thanks to everyone who was there. Special thanks to Cade for playing with Mason in the pool. He had alot of fun.

P.S. Brit Emmy looks so cute in her little hat.

MR. BUSTER

HERE IS MY BUSTER WITH HIS MOST FAVORITE TOY EVER. WHO KNEW THAT GLITTER BALLS WERE SUCH A HIT. KIND OF GIRLY BUT HE LOVES IT. AT LEAST ITS BLUE.

AHH. THE POOL!

MCKENNA LIKES THE INNERTUBE BETTER THEN BEING IN THE POOL. LOL. SHE SAT RIGHT THERE ON THE SIDE AND PLAYED IN IT. WHEN I ASKED HER IF SHE WANTED TO GO IN THE POOL SHE SAID. "NO." SO SUN TANNING WON OUT.

mmmmmmm gooooood!!!!!!

NOW THIS IS HOW YOU EAT SPAGETTI. ( IF YOU ARE MCKENNA). TOO CUTE!!! BUT OHHHHHHH THE MESS.

ROOSTERS!!!!!!

WE USE TO HAVE CHICKENS FOR A WHILE. THE KIDS REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING IN THE YARD WITH THEM. ONE DAY ARIC WANTED TO HATCH CHICKEN EGGS SO HE BROUGHT HOME A ROOSTER. FOR A FEW MONTHS EVERYTHING WENT FINE. ONE DAY MCKINZIE CAME IN THE HOUSE CRYING SAYING THAT THE ROOSTER HAD ATTAKCED HER. WE HAD NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ROOSTER AND BRUSHED IT OFF. A WEEK LATER ARIC, MASON, AND NATALIE WERE OUTSIDE. MASON WAS RIDING HIS CAR DOWN THE RAMP ON THE SHED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ROOSTER CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND ATTAKCED HIM THREE TIMES BEFORE NATALIE COULD GET MASON AWAY. THE NEXT DAY THE ROOSTER ATTACKED NATALIE AS SHE WAS GATHERING THE EGGS AND SHE THANKED HIM WITH A SWIFT KICK TO THE HEAD. A FEW DAYS LATER THE ROOSTER ATTACKED ARIC. THEN IT WAS ON. THE WAR HAD BEGAN. THE KIDS NO LONGER WANTED TO PLAYOUT SIDE IF THE ROOSTER WAS THERE. WHEN NATLAIE WOULD GATHER THE EGGS MASON WOULD SAY "MOM, MOM, DON'T LET THE ROOSTER GET YOU." THEN HE WOULD COME OUT SIDE AND YELL AT THE ROOSTER. " DON'T YOU ATTACK MY MOM." OR IF MCKINZIE WAS OUTSIDE " DON'T ATTACK MY SISTER, STUPID ROOSTER. GO AWAY." NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAD ENOUGH AND SOLD THE ROOSTER. TO THIS DAY MASON SAYS HE DOESN'T LIKE ROOSTERS " 'CUZ THEY ATTACK YOU!!! FFEEEW( HE MAKES A SWEEPING MOTION WITH HIS HAND.)"

MCKINZIE AND MCKENNA

MCKINZIE AND MCKENNA ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS.

WHEN "MOMMY" WAS PREGNANT WITH MCKENNA, MCKINZIE TOLD MOMMY THAT SHE WANTED A SISTER REALLY REALLY BAD AND THAT SHE HAD TO HAVE ONE. MOMMY ASKED HER WHAT IF THE BABY WAS A BOY? MCKINZIE REPLIED " I DON'T WANT ANYMORE STUPID BROTHERS."
