Repelling with the Family

My boys have been asking Grandpa to take them repelling. He had a free Saturday morning so we planned it. 

It's been 4 yrs since we last went. 

Rylan went down the 200 ft cliff for the first time (after a few refreshers down the little hill) 

Jaiden was excited to get back to the big hill m

Kadence needed some convincing but finally went down the little cliff. (Matix and Alyssa did this for the first time too)

And Brynn and Kenadee did the big cliff too. 

Granny got to come also and watch our crazy kids. 

I had fun going down by my big boys!!

At the 200 ft cliff we clipped off the 5 and 2 yr Olds to a tree for less stress for us :)

So perfect!!

I seriously had to turn my head...my brother makes me nervous. He was dropping the ropes and it's not crazy steep here but totally stessed me out!

These girls love to pose.

Vegas SNOW!!

Sunday night we started getting a decent rainfall. Mostly just steady.

I heard it all through the night. 

monday morning Jaiden goes to let the dogs out and starts screaming with excitment. 

We hadn't heard anything about possible snow so we were pretty excited. 

The kids all disapeared, we figured to see it but they had gotten in the garage to pull put their snow gear. 

6am and Rylan and Kadence were jumping in the snow :) 

So fun to get a little white!!

Car Wash Jiggles

Petes truck was a sad sad mess. 

Too many road trips and campoit's without a good cleaning. 

So we took it to get cleaned. 

They weren't busy and took an HOUR cleaning it.

we didn't complain too much cause that just meant a awesome job. 

They had massage chairs. 

We all took a turn. 

we were dying laughing. 

One because the little kids shook a ton . 

Then, because it literally had a massage par tthat kinda poked up your butt.... 

i told the kid to stop when they were joking about it cause I didn't think it actually did. 

Then pet sat on it and said, yea, it's super awkward. 

After my massage I seriously couldn't believe it  

it didnt poke bad but there no way it was ment to be enjoyed during a massage. 

It told pete someone is filming people in that massage chair and their reactions!!! 

NJB Winter 2014 Basketball

The boys ended there first season with NBA.

As always watching them was the highlight of my week.

I was really impressed with Rylan coming out of his she'll and doing really well.
I was worried since he was playing alo ng side Jaiden who had played 3 seasons prior.
He did great.

They both did.

We plan to take a season off but even Rylan is asking for basketball again, so we'll see. He's a roller coaster ;)

Dumont Camping

This past weekend was a 3 day weekend because of presidents day.. actually the kids had off Friday too cause they just started track break. 

We took out our new trailer for our first "official" campout. 

I can't say how much I LOVE having our own trailer. 

Of course this was our first trip so we're still getting the hang of things and what all we want stocked all the time in there....

so so nice anyways we woke up early Saturday morning and headed to Dumont we actually ended up borrowing Adams side by side because they had planned on coming up Sunday afternoon with my parents. The last minute decided not to come we still had fun hanging out with the Gilligan's and the Tsagrinos And Benites. 

Considering I lived at the GillihanS as a teenager ;)  I felt more than comfortable. 

the kids had a blast hanging with the other kids and digging holes for days they seriously dug a hole so big it fit all eight kids down inside and look like a Jacuzzi, before leaving they had to refill it. The kids had lots of fun riding around on the four wheeler and Brad even took the kids all up comp Hill on his sand rail. 

It's so crazy high and pretty steep but his little boy was in there and I knew he'd be good to my babies if his was in there too. 

They LOVED it. 

We had fun and I'm sure we'll go back everntually but I don't get all the hype of Tha place. 

I'd rather be in the mountains or at a lake or Beach. 

probably because we're not dare devil drivers. 

I get why some people love it..  we're just not those crazies..  haha

Getting speed to head up Comp hill

This picture does NO justice. It's a scary hill.

Strapping them In  tight.

 Aka.. jungle gym

Volcano

The boys bought a volcano kit a while back at a school book sale.

We finally did it tonight.

They LOVED it.

Watching Jace

We watched Jace for a few hours last nigHt.

He's such a good boy and we had so much fun having a toddler in our house.

We forget how fun babies are.
He's 18 months old and so teeny still.
His little run with a wobble is the cutest.
I love this little guy!!
