Coeur d' Alene 2010


















This past week we went on our third annual Coeur d' Alene trip! It was awesome as always. I got so many fun pictures it's hard to narrow them down. We spent two days at Silverwood and had an amazing time. The kids loved going around and around in the lazy river. Especially Hailie and Karlie. We put life jackets on those two girls and they were little fish. It was amazing how Hailie was able to keep her balance and swim down the river! It was so funny.
We also went to Spokane for the day and went to Manito Park. It was so beautiful. There were these Japenese Gardens with fish ponds that were amazing! It was so peaceful there. Of course we had to hit up Chuck E Cheese while we were there which is always popular with the kids!
We spent two days at the lake and swam and played in the sun! Hailie and her cousin Tatum played in the mud bath that Mike built for them. They loved it.
One evening we also went on a cruise around Coeur d' Alene Lake. It was a 90 minute cruise and that was just about perfect. Any longer and we would have thrown the kids overboard!!
Overall we had such a great trip. Until next year!! (Again, please excuse the bangs!)

The damage is done....




Really Hailie....really....did you have to give yourself a haircut!! Honestly, mom goes away for a few hours while dads in charge and this is what I came home to!! Mike says "what scizzors did she use?" Hailie quickly pipes in "The pink ones" like it's no big deal. My poor darling baby now looks like a hill billy!! I know it will grow back but right now I just want to cry. So please excuse the pictures of my baby for the next few months while we work on growing them back.

Happy 4th! Love Karlie

Happy Birthday to Mike!!




Happy Birthday Mike!! My sweet husband had a bitter-sweet birthday this year as he hit the big 3-0!! We had a huge family party up at Blacktail reservoir. The kids played in the water all day and we had tons of good food! This was my attempt at a watermelon cake that I saw on the front of a magazine. It tasted great!!

I love when you catch the kids doing something so cute on their own!!
Okay, I am sorry....but do they come cuter????




One night last week I was at work and Mike was so cute. Him and the kids had a little campfire in the backyard. They told me about it and how they had smores but unfortunately we were out of chocolate and marshmallows.....I guess they were okay with that!!

Spring Soccor!!


You can't help but be so proud of your little kids!! Karlie, Hailie and I are his cheerleaders on the sidelines! Last week Mike was his coach and Braden thought that was awesome! I love this kid!
