Memorial Weekend Camping

We had a great time camping up near GreensPeak.

It is always so nice to get away from daily life and just

sit and relax and enjoy the beauty that surrounds you!

Another thing I love about camping is all the great food!

These pictures are in no great order and kind of messed up

but you know this blogging thing is a little time consuming

sometimes and I do not have the extra time to get it right.

Just getting it done! As I never did get our Spring Break

trip done. Oh-well. It is fun to look back and the kids sure

enjoy it the most. Making memories! That's what matters!!

Gpa and Carder

Playing Horseshoes

Sisters enjoying eachother

This was a great tree. It had a door and a window in it.

Here's Kamrielle going in & the window shots are below.

Gma and Caden going for a ride.

Caden was great about giving rides and collecting

all the wood Vinnie would cut with his chainsaw.

It made the work easy and fun for Caden.

Mom and Caden riding.

Vinnie enjoying the fire. Theres nothing better than

just sitting and watching the fire. Except that

you smell like smoke!

Kamrielle loved to pick all the flowers! She had a beautiful

centerpiece for our table everyday.

Richard is always the entertainment no matter where we are.

Trevon and Carder in the tree window

Camdon and Kamrielle in the tree window

Carder loved getting to be outdoors all day!

These guys had fun playing cards!

The Turleys did not camp with us but were able to come

spend the day with us on Sunday.

This was the first time we camped on Memorial weekend.

We usually do Labor day weekend. It sure was pretty and green!

Blog-worthy happenings

I'm excited to report that Carder got his cast off yesterday and seems to be adjusting well.
He now favors his left hand from not being able to use his right hand. So we will see if time changes that. He got to take a regular bath and loved that. No more bathroom sink.

He also took his first steps on Monday night. We were all so excited for him! I thought it would take getting his cast off to walk but he didn't so it will be fun to see and watch him excel in his new venture of walking. He is such a busy boy! Busier than any of my other kids. But he keeps life fun and exciting and we love him and hope we can stay out of the ER for awhile now! We are going to have to so we can pay this last visit off. (yikes)

Happy Mothers Day to our Mothers!

Vinnie and I both have great Mothers! Today is there day.

To my mom,

She is always happy,

always willing to serve,

always has a place for you to stay,

always making something yummy for you,

always supporting her family,

absolutely loves her grandchildren &

will watch them for you whenever needed.

Alwyas singing with her beautiful voice,

always looks beautiful & that's because

she has always liked to shop.

(thanks for passing that shopping trait down)

I hope I get a few more of your talents!

Love you, Happy Mothers Day!

Pandy is a wonderful example of a Mother as well.

She is willing to serve and serve again!

She is ecspecially talented in her culinary delights!

I have asked for many of her recipes and knowledge

of canning and food storage. She is always willing

to help me with canning as I am still learning.

She loves the gospel and has a strong testimony.

She is a hard worker and works from sun up till sun down.

Thankyou for your example and loving our children.

We got a See's Chocolate bar and a bookmark at church today.

This is a quote off the bookmark that I like:

"Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest

service to be assumed by mankind."

I love being a mother! I could'nt ask for anything better than that!
