105 and higher....

opps wrong pic and I cant figure out how to delete sorry

It is starting to feel a lot like SUMMER. ... and we are staying here for the summer so we broke down and got our kids a big swimming pool to (tire them out) I mean for them to play in during the day after jobs are done. I had to fight Jake to get one. .. but I won . It is the perfect height and and only deep enough to go up to Jenny's chest but wide enough for them all to swim. So we had it up a week and it has been wonderful. The kids have played for HOURS each day and eaten lunch and dinner out on the trampoline and then gone and played some more. The best thing is at bedtime they totally CRASH!

Oh my Heck!!! What a fast trip!

Grandma had a backyard full of baby kittens ... the girls couldnt get enough of playing and catching them. Which takes skill according to Bailey.

Jake and Jenny and I went on a four- wheeler ride in the west mountain and saw lots of deer hiding in the trees. He took Josh earlier and Josh pointed at a herd of deers and said "Look Dad a FLOCK of deers." which of course made Jake cringe.. someday he'll know its a HERD not a FLOCK

Grandpa took Jake and the kids out on his boat and Bailey was the only one to catch a fish. She was so excited but was disappointed when she found out she couldn't keep it to eat.

We drove up on the mountain until we found some snow. The kid got wet and cold. Some day they can play in snow and actually have clothes that were meant for snow so they don't get cold so darn quick... I hope.

Zane taking his turn driving on the way home. 1200 miles in 5 days. Whew!

We went to Utah on Sunday to visit Jake's family until Jake (recovered) and played in the mountains around his house. I think that is one of the things that we all miss the most ( other then family of course) is the mountains and being around seviers beauty. Yes, Thats right I think that sevier is so pretty and I love how close the mountains are. It makes me sad that our kids are going to grow up driving in those mountains like Jake did. Anyways, We had so much fun playing with cousins and being outside where it wasn't over 70 degrees most of the time, which was great since it is over the 100's here now.

Thumb Wars

Zane wont take a binky and still hasnt figured out how to suck his thumb successfully so this is what we go thru every night until he gives up and settles on a finger or thumb or mom force feds the binky.

Zane five months

Zane is five months and I cant belive it. It really has gone fast so fast I am a little sad but it is fun to start and see his personality coming out. He still hasnt gotten any kind of loves from Jenny other then a hi five, Bailey and Josh continue to smother him and help me out so much. We are finally on somewhat of a shedule and he sleeps thru the night. Here are a few cute pictures of him in some our adventures this month. (I bought a bumbo chair which came out a while ago but new to me and a baby sling however he is almost too chunky for both.... what he likes to eat.

Theres a new baby in the house.....

named Jake. He was teaching a motorcylce training class and was explaining how everyone crashes and decided to give them an example as well. (Not on purpose but I think he got his point across. ) He dislocated his shoulder and is in a lot of pain and the dr thinks he might of torn some tissue or something. He has a MRI apt. next week. So he is probably home for the next few weeks recovering. This would be cool to have my husband come with me and still get paid except he cant dress himself or pick up the baby or change diapers or really hold the baby. SO I have a nother kid to take care of.

Weekends at dad's

Jake has been in Tuscon for the last two weeks for training and the kids and I have been going up for the weekend to visit him in the hotel and swim and play around there. The first weekend we went up the kids were so excited to go swimming that they had to go that night. So Jake took the big kids down and I went and sat by the pool with Zane. Josh quickly started to laugh and announce loudly that he had just put the "P" in the word pool. Jake was of course impressed and got after him since everyone was staring at him the parent of this boy who just added to their swimming water. When we went back up to the room the kids kept telling their dad" Just how much they liked his new place" It was very nive but I made sure Jake knew he had to come back home at the end of the training. :) So the next morning we went to the Pima Air Museum and saw 17 miles of airplanes. I Know sounds exciting right. When we got back to the hotel the kids begged to go swimming again. Jake said that he would take them as long as they all went to the bathroom and no one peed in the pool. He still was not over the embrassment of the night before. I was planning on taking some pics of them swimming but we were back 10 minutes later because Bailey had put a different kind of "P" in the pool. Oh well, Sorry we had to ruin Jake's limited Bachelor days at his hotel...

"Boy-lee" Owens

So it finally happened. I have worried and feared some day it might. Everytime someone told "their" story about how it happened I would gringe and think I am so glad that hasnt ever happened to me but it did. I am now an offical member of "My daughter cut her own hair" club. This week I was running around trying to get everyone ready for school and lunches packed and zane fed. I asked Bailey to go put out the ponytail holder she had it her hair and brush her hair out and I would come and help her fix her hair. I went into the bathroom to find hair all over the floor and bloody fingers. She had tried to CUT the ponytail out instead of pulling it. On the first try she only cut hair so she tried again and again. I guess I do have to hide the scissors better and hopefully she has learned her lesson because she doesnt like me having to style her hair every day but I have to until it grows out a little bit. Josh being the big brother quickly came up with a nickname for his sisters her do. Boy-lee. Very creative I only came up with Tim for Kim when she cut her cut short when we were little.
