CAMPING!

Well its been awhile since I posted. We have been very busy and I actually took some pictures, so I hope you don't mind alot of pictures...

We went to the Beecroft Reunion and had so much fun. The kids loved being outside and didn't know quite what to do.

We were all setting around and I told them to get out of there and get dirty. In about 20 minutes they all come back covered from head to toe in mud, they said I couldn't get mad cause I had told them to get dirty..

It was really good to spend some time with my Beecroft relatives that we don't get to see very often.

A new phase!

Well after 10 1/2 years of diaper changing I am done. I can't believe that I have moved on to the next phase of motherhood. Gavin was alot more ready to be potty trained than his mother was to have him that way. I would go back to check on him and he would be on the toilet and say " Mom I a big boy" So I thought oh he is just messing around and then when we went camping and he went and used the "porta johns" (personally I HATE those things) So I about died for him to be in one. When we got home we never looked back. He has done awesome and I am LOVING life..YEA!!! Thanks Gavin for potty training and 2!!!

Rylee just hanging out with Clays new pup....Tate enjoyed playing in the rain and teasing the girls

Gavin LOVED the water and had a blast with all the kids

Kennedee had so much fun having girls her age, there was ALOT of dress up played

Ashlyn was so funny, she wore a sweat band Rylee gave her and flashed me signs when I took her picture...

Keltcee and Ashlyn had alot of fun together despite the size difference.

Rylees surgery

Our little Rylee had surgery on July 2, 2008. She has always been a little sickly and had big dark circles under her eyes. She seemed to get tired quite a bit. Me being a good mom thought it was allergies. So I would give her some medicine. I always thought there was something else but just thought she had inherited my allergies. I took her into the doctor and he said she needs her adnoids out, so we made an appointment in Showlow with a Dr. Cox and took her up. He said she is one sick little girl who didn't have much of an airway. She would need both adnoids and tonsels out. He named all these signs about someone with these problems and they all fit Rylee. Everything that was happening to her really made sense. So we scheduled the surgery and she was soooo excited telling EVERYONE about it. Once we were up there she was so excited about getting it done. It was a good thing we brought Clay for comic relief. haha.. These people that think he never talks. Well you should have been there. I don't know if he was nervous or what but he was on one. She is doing good and hopefully feel better in the next few days... We love her and it was so hard for me to let her go.. I was being a baby but we love our little Rylee and am so proud of her and the sweet girl she is...
