Tik Tok

Tik Tok came on the radio by Ke$ha and it's one of Liv's favorite songs, so she broke out in dance.

Sprinkler Fun!

The kids love playing in the water, so we pulled out the sprinkler and let them at it.

First Geocache

We tried our hand at Geocaching with the kids a couple weeks ago, we tried three different ones and only found one, but when your not sure what your looking for it's can be kind of hard! Nonetheless we all had fun.

We found it!













Unrolling the name list.










writing our names and the date we found it.

Woah Fireworks!!!

We took the kids to their first fireworks tonight, we had so much fun, Olivia kept calling out each color as they went off, and Carter just kept saying "ohhh pretty!!"

All comfy in the van























We ended up sitting on the grass, next time we won't forget the bug spray!

Birthday Presents and Dolphins

Carter received a last minute birthday present from some friends of ours tonight, it was utter chaos while mom tried to put the track together (and figure out what the heck some of the pieces were for, you'd figure it's straight forward but not for my brain!) LOL The kids had a fantastic time playing with it, so now we've got a great rainy day toy!


























The kids played a game at the stampede and won dolphins, I had to take a picture, they were riding them in the living room, so funny!

Stampede 2010 - The Animals!!

We took the kids down to the grounds on a beautiful day this year, we got there early so we hit up the animals first.

Olivia asked why the cows here SO BIG?















We even milked a cow!












Carter didn't want to pet the goats, they looked sketchy!











Olivia and I kept talking about how cute the donkeys were....what did carter have to say....." Look Mommy, Poop!"












The sheep were cute too













I can't get over how beautiful the Bud Clydsdales are, they're SO big, but so pretty!















We went into the barns next, and aparently we have two City Mice. They didn't like the smell!














Olivia was super excited to try roping a steer.












and on her first try she did it!













These pony's were so cute, this one cept licking Liv's hand, at one point it tried for a bit more but mommy ripped her hand out of the way, guess I'm a bit of a city mouse myself!












We have a picture of Cy doing this last year, maybe next year we'll get carter on there.













Liv wanted to take the hat with her, what a cutie!
















Carter couldn't stop pushing buttons and pulling levers inside the cockpit, he LOVED it!












Liv was so proud of herself.












Typical of Cy, he gets pulled in by all the infomercials, I didn't realize the kids were just like him! LOL













This is what happens when you leave your mini doughnuts in the wagon with Olivia, she makes her own doughnut holes! hahaha.

Stampede 2010 - The Rides!

Olivia wanted to go on EVERY ride, Carter...not so much.

The first ride we went on was the big wavy slide, both kids enjoyed it, even tho carter made some squeamish noises as we were going down, he said after that it was fun.

This ride, not so fun, I thought Carter would be ok with Olivia beside him, but aparently not, I couldn't even tell he was upset till the operator stopped the ride and asked if he wanted to get off! Poor guy, but I brought him into the back with me and he was fine sitting beside mommy driving the truck.























The Bees.



























The Roller Coaster, Liv even wanted to go on the kiddie drop of doom, she was tall enough but mommy wasn't ready for her to do it, I think she missed out tho, cause I'm sure she would have loved it!












Waiting in line for the merry go round.











Cheese!















Mommy and Carter always ride in the sleigh, Carter loves the merry go round but not the horses!
