Numb

These pictures are stretching back a few months, but looking at them made me smile. Remembering the Dentist telling me that Sydney had FIVE cavities can wipe the smile off my face pretty quick, especially because I feel like we are faithful brusher's.  We had such fun making her say silly things with her very numb face.

Sydney actually did pretty well for the time she had to spend in THE CHAIR. I told her, "Don't worry about it, you probably won't have to go back to the dentist in a really long time." She could come back to the states with a killer sweet smile! :)

Fish Lake

This pretty much sums up our trip to Fish Lake.....Chilly! If you know Trent very well, you know that Fish Lake is his most favorite place in the world. He has many childhood memories here which makes it a special place for him. Snow, sleet, hail or rain will not keep this fish crazed husband of mine from bundling up the toddlers and putting them on a fishing boat.

The pleasure of our trip was having Linda (Trent's Mom) join us. Unfortunately, it was short lived due to some health issues. Trent's brother Ty and Jen joined us as well and yes, it was for sure the high light of our trip. My sister in law maybe the funniest person I know and no one can make me laugh like her. I do not have many pictures so we will have to work with my limited camera shots.

We did take a short hike down by the lake which soon went from this (above) to this...

What a cool Daddy. 

Maybe one of my favorite shots of the trip is Sierra and Sydney eating Slim Jims. You know like, "step into my slim jim!" Wow, I always thought these were made up of  pretend meat that you could purchase at questionable gas stations. Sierra even went so far as to tie a spare to her pants 

"just in case."

 

Em and I spent a lot of time in the cabin, which I thought would be the perfect time to introduce Pop Rokcs. Thanks for the fun trip Ty, Jen and family it was great!

PS

This is my really cute nephew Dalton, I told him if he would smile for the camera, I would make sure lots of cute girls saw his picture...never mind if they are all middle aged mommies.

True Grit

This one has true grit! I sure love this little pistol. Of course, she would never be content to sit and explore quietly in the sand box. Em, has to get in there and let it fly. Definitely, give it a taste test, maybe even a quick roll. I would be so bored with out our Emmy, I love to sit back and watch her zest for life. Everything she does is on high volume, and quick speed. She is for sure, our kid that keeps us hopp'n, and I know her Daddy is missing her!

The End!

Holman Posterity

This is one party that I hate to miss every year.  A plus to living here for a couple of months, we can make a few sweet family parties. I seriously love seeing my cute Aunts, funny uncles and all of my cousins.  My Mom comes from a large family, she is  the second of seven, I have lots of little cousins that I can hardly put names with faces but it does not take away from us having some great times...Thanks to my Aunt Marianne for making it happen. I know it is  a lot of work for her and she pulls it all of with grace and style! Not to mention, her cool husband for being the grill master!

Swim Lessons

These are my sweet little faces of Summer and though it has been hard living like vagabonds, overall I think my kids are happy. Sure, their have been moments maybe even hours of absolute meltdown. To be honest, a few of their behaviors are making me question procreation in general and why we decided to move half way around the world. Through all of this, I have found that the best antidote for their tantrums and mine can usually be found at the PG Pool. Swim lessons have begun and they are loving it! So my children....

"Go, swim until you have sapped every last ounce of energy out of your little crazy bodies!"

We miss you DADDY! Please come home soon, so you to can enjoy the "cherubs"!

Cabela's

Who needs a museum when their is...

 I admit, it may appear  that I am grasping at straws to keep my little herd happy and occupied for the long days of Summer. But this place is really cool! We were making, what I thought was going to be a quick stop to stock up on mosquito repellent for the Philippines. When to my total pleasant surprise, this place had my little ones captivated.

 

Stay tuned....next week we may take a trip to Deseret Industries (Good Will)

Red Neck Water Park

 OR

the Grove Creek water run off makes for a fun after noon.  Made up of a just a few simple elements, water-that is pretty much equal to the temperature of a glacier, sharp jagged rocks and maybe a little slag, which is super fun to throw....at anyone or every where.

 And my kids love it!

 

Thanks to Aunt Cassie for ever introducing us to the "water".  It is now my kids most requested activity.
