{7 days with 6 kids...insane i know}


Sorry. I have no clue why my text is looking like this but oh well.

So I had a crazy last week to say the least. I watched my brothers kids and my own for 7 days. Tempers flared, personalities clashed but all in all we all had a great time. We went on bike rides to local parks, school playgrounds and to see horses in the neighborhood, in the process a blew a tire and a couple of kids had melt downs. We also went to a neighbors house and the kids played on a cool rope swing. We had several movie nights...which was great for the younger ones cause all I had to do was carry them to bed already asleep. :) One of the last days there we went to a fair and had a ton of fun even though it was raining like crazy. Here are a few fun pictures from our time together. Oh by the way...I will NEVER have 6 kids!!! :)


Braden was actually really excited to try to rock climb. Which I was very pleased but shocked at the same time. He really doesn't try new things very often so I was pleasantly surprised. He did so good for it being his first time too. Yeah Braden!


So after the fun day at the Biddison kids church fair we decided to take a drive to Liberty Park and play. Mind you it was raining so it made the whole thing that much harder, but still enjoyable. We decided it would be fun to take some head shots of each kid and some others of the fun day at the park. Here are just a few!

Amber and Jake on the tire swing...they had loads of fun on this.

Amber and Ryan on Teeter Totter...they wanted me on one side but we all know what trouble that caused. The kids just stood there in mid air not moving at all while I stood there looking up at them. :)

All the kids took turns being statues on different stands. Of course everyone did the same pose as you see Ty doing here. They are all obsessed with the silly quote off the new "Night at the Musuem" movie... they just kept saying..."Boom Bang Firepower" all day. Kids. :)

And lastly, Ryan decided to fall in the pond. I have one of him crying as he came out of the yucky and cold water, if you can call it that. I'm sure he swallowed a bunch of that lovely green algae hanging from his hand while he was down there. He scared me half to death but when it was all over we were all laughing of course. Fun Day!!!

I can't believe how much older your cute boys look! I kinda miss hearing them doing their usual "hi Brooke" call everyday. Looks like you are all doing well!

We're doing great! My folks are in town for the summer. We are lovin' that. The boys are excited to get to spend some quality time with their grandparents. We all went to Lagoon on Monday while my nephews were in town. They all had a great time. :) David's mom and brother will be out this next week, too. Plus, some friends will be coming to visit, so it's going to be a busy summer. It's been tons of fun so far though! :) Looks like you are keepin' busy, too. lol :)
