Buttholes and Milk Rivers

Milk River

Cade as the Hulk random, but he likes to "HULK SMASH" me all the time and it kinda hurts

I think today was one of my worst "kid" days! It started out early, around 630. The kids woke up and started fighting, and were already out on the trampoline by 730am. I let them go in our "cold tub" to swim. Teagan saw a bee, and freaked out, and came inside while Cade stays outside trying to kill the bee's with his water gun. So I go out and spray the bee's, I killed about 10 all together. Then the kids wanted the slide to go into the hot tub. So I go pick it up, put it in the water and Cade goes down one time and the slide breaks off. So I say oh-well I am not fixing it, because it will just break again, and I will be putting the slide back together all day. I set it aside and tell the kids do not put the slide in the water. The slide is about as long as the tub is wide. So I hear Cade crying, and I see the slide floating in the water, and Teagan is using this as some type of float device. So I yell like a crazy neighbor, and tell the kids to go inside so I don't sound like a lunatic yelling at the kids. All the while Cade keeps talking about butt holes. This is like the new funny word with the kids. Everything is butt hole this butt hole that! After my crazy moment, I decide I need to get the kids out of the house so I decide to take them to Boondocks. Well on our way there its lightning and raining, so I still go because they have an indoor gym/climb thing for the kids. Well after waiting in line 10min, and in that 10 min the had closed down all the go-karts, mini-golf and bumper boats. Anyway there are a million people, and I go through all this crap to find out Teagan is 2 inches too tall!! So they tell me only Cade can play, and if you know my kids this will not work, so we leave. I take them to Baskin Robins, then to the grocery store (my favorite place with kids) My only grocery store incident this time was the kids were kissing the deli meat glass, and licking it, in front of customers waiting and the girl getting the meat is looking at me like lady your kids are making out with my glass window. I do tell my kids that someone is going to have to clean that, and if they keep doing it they will have to clean it up, so what does Cade do? He kisses the freaking window again, and Teagan is blowing her breath on it and writing things. Anyway I got my meat, and then the kids had produce bags. Well I was at the pharmacy getting my pill and I hear some man yelling don't do that you will suffocate. And I look over and my kids have the plastic bags on their heads. So I tell them no more or the bags are mine. I collected 1 bag, from Teagan. I really thought today was a good day at the store too, haha. I did my own check out, and Cade tried to run out the front of the store, and I made Teagan go chase after him, but she is pretty much scared of EVERYTHING so Cade just came back on his own. I get a lot of crazy looks from people when he runs off, but I know he comes back, darn it. So I make it home, and pick some weeds, put my groceries away, and come inside. Con gets home and tell me he has a b-ball game to go too, so I take the kids on a jog with the dog. Con calls me the circus show, because I have Teagan on her bike, me pushing the jogger with Cade inside and a dog. To make a long night short, when I get home Cade is going to get soap in his mouth for saying Butthole and the S word. Teagan the whole time is riding in the mud, and saying she "shart" on her wheel. If you don't know what this is, I am sorry but my kids have absolutely no manners. We make it back, we go about 3 miles. This picture sums up what I have been dealing with the last few days, The "Milk River" My kids invented this a few days ago, where they pour milk onto my coffee table, and play in the river. Tonight was the 3rd milk river I have had to clean up in the last few days, so needless to say, they are both in bed! And Cade did get soap in that dirty mouth of his!!

SOLD..GLASS HOUSE CONDO!!

I just wanted to share the news. Finally one property has sold! And it was the guy who contacted me through craigslist! We aren't getting what we should get, but the price is worth the stress that will be somewhat relieved! Hopefully we will have a closing within 2 weeks. Now if we could sell the Windsor house!!

Teagan starts 3rd grade!

August 7Th, the official day of 3rd grade! I have not 100% made up my mind if I will be moving Teagan this year to a different school. I found out from a neighbor that there is bus service to an elementary school near by. She would be picked up daily at the Fire Station, and I wouldn't have to drive 20 minutes everyday to her school. If she goes to the new school she starts Aug 14. With gas prices the bus is very tempting, however when it comes time for Cade to go to school he would be 1/2 day kindergarten, not all day which Teagans current charter school offers. So I need some advice: Current school; 20 minute drive, uniforms, has her friends there, offers all day kindergarten. New school; bus service 1 mile from my house, no uniforms, her really good friend Kiki from across the street is moving there and they can ride the bus together, only has 1/2 day kindergarten. Let me know what you would do!

Cade at Grandma Shirley's

Giving Sunny a quick bath from the mud, Cade helping! He wanted to wash everything, the windows, the deck, he is a great help!
Cade in the pond



We went over to Grandma Shirley's to meet her new dog Shay. While we were there George took Cade on a 4 wheeler ride, and Cade was fascinated with the Elk Horns. He wanted to bring one home, but I can just see it now : Mom goes to jail for letting son fight with an Elk Horn. The funniest part of this day was when we got into Grandma Shirley's car. Cade told her, "Grandma your car is dirty. You need a car wash because you can't see out of your windows" Then after that comment he says "Grandma you shouldn't have your dogs in the car, because it's too hairy" An update to this story is Grandma sent Cade an e-mail telling him she washed her car and cleaned out all the hair.

Utah Trip

For some reason I look terrible in this picture, my arm is huge and my face looks fat, everything looks fat



I don't have many pictures from Utah, but we did have fun there! We went miniature golfing, went to Chuck E Cheese and the cousins had a pool all ready for the kids when we got there. Cade and Teagan roasted weenies for the first time, and also ate smores. My kids only wanted the chocolate, and my aunts dog ate the rest. I also got to visit with my great aunt Karma. She is a very active 76 year old. She is having fun walking all around Provo, and spends most of her time doing crafts, and shopping.

Tractors and Potato's

Sorry this has taken so long! It has been one of those weeks for me, and I think I am finally "recovered" This kids' Uncle Bird, arranged for the kids to go on a tractor ride, and Cade loved it. Teagan was a little scared at first, but she got over that eventually. After the tractor ride we went into a spud cellar, which was very exciting, since the kids nor I have ever been in one before. But for all the Idaho folks, I thought it was very cool! Funny thing is I had to go buy potatos when I got home!
