NieNie

I know most of you have already heard about Christian and Stephanie Neilson and what happened a couple weeks ago, but I was looking on my sis in laws (who is very good friends with Stephanie) blog and they are having an auction until tomorrow (Sunday the 31st) until midnight.  Go to Lindsay's blog  for info if you haven't heard and you can go to NieNie's blog also.  They need all they can get and anyone's help I'm sure is appreciated.  

Lindsay has a few things on her blog for the auction and there is list of all the other people participating in the auction on Design Mom's Blog .

Eh-Loooooow!

On Sunday we were at Matt's parents' house and the phone rang.  Only once... I went in to see what was going on and Macy had picked up the phone and was saying eh-loooooow eh-loooooow eh-loooooow.  I just thought that was so cute and funny, and so naughty.  

Recovered Pics

The campout pictures were in there somewhere, somehow!

Ella on the zipline.  She was so big!

Going too fast!  Matt couldn't get the best pic.

Turd!

The cousins playing the "drums" with their "fishing poles"

Ella took this picture.  We played a lot of games!

Macy now has to be touching her belly button while sucking her thumb.  It's kind of hard when you are wearing a onesie!  She has also tried putting her arm through the leg hole.

Sorry about sideways pictures.  I don't feel like changing them right now.

Ella copying Macy

We picked apples.  Macy loved eating them!

Also picked blackberries.  My mom made pies!

More card games.  

Updates on Magic Mountain to come soon.  (if I can find my camera)

Sunday II

I forgot to mention Macy passing out after falling and hitting her head!  She cried so hard she couldn't take a breath and passed out.  That was the second time that has happened.  So scary (only for a small moment) but still!

Sunday

On Sunday I was in the bathroom getting ready and Ella comes in and says, "hey mom, do you like my dress?"  It was so cute!  She had found the dresses I had laid out for them and decided to dress herself, but she picked the wrong dress and put it on backwards.

Then, they decided they were going to shuck (sp?) the corn, even though they had never even seen it being done before!  Or at least I don't think.  Don't mind my lack of flooring!  I swear it will be done soon!

Ward Campout

I'm actually so angry right now!  I was uploading the pictures from my camera and lost all of the campout ones because the computer got unplugged right in the middle of it.  So no pics, but we had a fun time!  We picked apples off the trees.  I had a really cute pic of Macy eating one of the apples.  My mom and all the grandkids picked a ton of blackberries.  There were so many my mom made a couple pies with them.  Ella got to ride the zipline.  She was so excited about it and everyone was a little nervous because she's so little.  But she kept saying, "I can do it, I'm big.  I can do it".  So I let her and she did awesome!  Her and her cousins played a ton.  They looked for monkeys in the forest, and played the drums with sticks.  They also went fishing with the same sticks.  It was really cute.  Of course the first 10 seconds we were there Macy was running and came crashing down.  (That should be a given now for everytime we go camping).  Matt and I were in charge of dinner... sloppy joes baby!  We got all of the kids down for bed and played games in our cabin until 2 am!  Needless to say, half of us were really late for breakfast.

There is a first for everything...

On Saturday I mowed the lawn, front and back!  I had never before mowed a lawn in my whole 26 years of life.  I was surprised by how easy it was.  Who knew?  I thought I wasn't even going to be able to start it.  I think this is a big accomplishment for me because I figured I would just let Matt do it forever.  But now I know I can help with outside work and that makes me feel good especially because he helps me so much with the inside stuff!
