Happy 18th Whitnie!!

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE? (2nd ROW!!!) WOW!!!

I can't believe my baby sis is 18! It is crazy! It was just yesterday that her and I were making up bestfriend songs and playing barbies together and now I can truly say she is my very best friend! I love her so much and I don't know what I would do with out her! So with it being her 18th B-day, we had to do it up big... So I talked my mom into getting us SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE tickets. (Whit and I are crazy about the show!) And Oh my heck, we had 2nd row tickets...AMAZING! We could hear them breathing and see them sweat! It was one of the best days of my life! They kept looking at us and winking and pointing. (at Whit of course!) Happy Birthday Whit! I had a blast and I know Will Really blew you that kiss and don't worry about the midget you knocked down, she'll be fine! haha...memories!

Yes...There are others like us! We ran into Andrea and Hillary. Crazy girls!

Princess Mckynlie is 3!

I can't believe that 3 years ago we were blessed with such a beautiful little girl! These last 3 years have flown by with so many great memories!
After staying up the night before until 2:30 making the princess castle cake that only I envisioned and everyone thought I was nuts, We had a princess party with her little friends for the first time. Oh man what did I get myself into?! It was so crazy but also alot of fun. Then the princess party followed with a family party... and if any of you know my family, well lets just say very crazy! But I can't imagine anything with out them and either could Kynlie. We had a blast, but poor Papa Brad (Dust's dad), It must take him days after to get his hearing and thoughts back after our parties! haha
Thanks to everyone who was there and for making our memories of Mckynlie's 3rd Birthday great!

IT'S A GIRL!! (MAYBE NAMED MAYLIE??)

WE WENT IN ON TUESDAY AND TO OUR SURPRISE, WE ARE HAVING A GIRL! SHE IS ALREADY FULL OF SURPRISING US... STARTED WITH BEING PREGO (NOT PLANNING!) THEN KYNLIE WAS THE ONLY ONE SAYING IT'S A GIRL. EVERYONE THOUGHT A BOY WAS NEXT FOR US, INCLUDING ME! BUT I GUESS SISTER KNOWS BEST! WE ARE SO EXCITED! ALSO CONGRATS TO MY BROTHER BROCK AND HIS WIFE-AFTER 2 BOYS THEY ARE HAVING A GIRL ONE WEEK BEFORE OUR LITTLE ONE IS HERE! WHO KNOWS...MAYBE IT WILL BE THE SAME DAY?!

Talan's new FAVORITE thing

Dust has been starting his own construction company (England Construction) And his number one fan is Talan! He is crazy about all the "BROOM-BROOM'S" everytime he gets loose from the house, he heads straight out to the equipment. I swear his lips have to be numb all the time from all the "BROOM...BROOM" he does all day. He is all boy! We love it.

SUN-FUN-and PEEING in the POOL!

So this summer has been great and full of fun and surprises! I decided to put Kynlie in swimming lessons this year, but I was a little worried because she missed the dead line by a couple of months. So all the kids were older than her. I was so shocked to see her jump right in and start making new friends and having a ball! The first day I over heard them telling the kids the pool rules... The #1 rule was NO PEEING in the pool... Well lets just say she must not have heard any of that! We were out playing after lessons and i looked over at her and she had this weird face... I said "Kyn whats wrong?" She said "i'm just peein in the pool!" I look down under the water and she was pulling her swim suit to the side so she didn't pee on it! It was so funny and I didn't know what to say so I just laughed. Well I probably should have told her that that was wrong because later that day my sister in-law Heather and her boys were with us eating lunch and Heather said "oh my heck Chels, look at your daughter!" I looked over and there was my sweet little girl standing at the edge of the pool with her suit pulled to the side and had a stream coming out into the pool!! Everyone was rolling laughing! I ran out there and grabbed her and said "what are you doing? We go pee in the podie!" And she looked up at me with her big blue eyes and said "Well I not need to now! I just went in the pool!" What can you do? kids will be kids!
This is her PEE POSE!

SWIMMING...

DANCING KYNLIE...

Well we all knew that this day would come...She is following in her mother's foot steps! And I love it! She is one of the cutest little dancers ever! She is not one bit afraid to get out there and shake what her mama gave her! We love watching her grow and learn more and more everyday!

CAMPING...

Well what would summer be with out some CAMPING adventures. A couple of weeks ago Brandon and Megan brought up little Maddax for some family time, so we thought it would be fun to go play it the dirt and roast hot dogs and smores. It was a blast and they kids loved it! By the end of our exciting dirty dinner all you could see was 3 little brown kids with BIG blue eyes! It was so fun! We need to do it again!

About a week ago Dustin had this crazy idea to buy a camp trailer. And me being the very understanding wife that I am, Cuz I know he is crazy, I said ok. Well lets just say it was one of the best ideas he has ever made! We had it for about 3 days and decided we needed to try it out, so we got our 2 kids, Cody (Dust's brother), cousin Austin, our friends Jed and Heather and their 2 boys and off we went! What a crazy bunch! We had a blast! I never want to sleep in a tent again! It was the best. We were all enjoying our dinner when Heather and I had this great idea... We were getting a little sick and tired of chasing the kids around so we left the kids with the guys, grabbed the float tubes and took off for some good old fishin... It took us about 5 falls in the mud before we finally got to the lake. It was great and so relaxing. We could hear the guys yelling at the kids and the kids were crying, but we just kicked back and pretended not to hear anything. We had some great fishing... we caught nothing! Haha but it was all worth it!

Maryland...

Well it was our anniversary and Dustin was back East at a training class for his work (5 weeks!) (He works out at EG&G.) He is a maintenance man that helps get rid or the mustard gas at the depot. He loves it but it really freeks me out! There is a couple pictures of him getting all suited up. But anyways, so we thought it would be fun if i left the kids home and went to stay with him. As you can see by the pictures, we had a blast! we went to Amish Country, and thats where we visited "intercourse!" So funny! We got honked at when we were taking the picture!
It felt like we were on a 2nd hunny moon, but i really missed the kids! (So i came home a little early.)
