Seriously! Where do these two think they are going looking like that? LOL... Well we were getting ready to leave for the weekend and I had just given them a bath and got them all cleaned up, one of the last things before we were going to hit the road and I see the escape artists at work forgetting one thing... their clothes haha but they did remember their backpacks :) Paisley was like hey, wait for me I'm right behind ya. I love these two little ones MORE than anything! The innocent things they do and say just melt my heart and often times make me almost pee my pants!
Funny story that happened a couple months ago that I keep forgetting to write down andI dont want to forget it... So one day I was loading Ryder into the car and he looked at me and said..
Ryder: Im soo sorry mama
Mom: For what honey? Why are you so sorry?
Ryder: Im so sorry mama, Im so sorry I have the swine flu...
Mom: HAHAHAHAHHAHA! What? I pretty much was laughing so hard I had to call someone to share the randomness with.
Where did this come from you ask? About a week or two before he said this my 10year old neice got pretty sick and she was crying to her mom (my sister) "Oh great I have the swine flu" but kinda serious lol. So I know that is where he got it from. We laughed pretty hard this little guy makes me laugh all the time he is hilarious!
We did so many fun things when we were in Pinetop that I wanted to try and take as many pictures as possible :) I know these have been lingering in for the past few weeks but finding time to get on the peter (as Ryder calls it) is sometimes impossible!!! R gave up on the fishing and just decided to play with the cup and he had a blast... Ha! Whatever makes em happy sometimes.
I thought she looked so stinkin cute here! BTW the boots that both of my kids have on are FABULOUS!!!! They are croc boots you know the famous croc shoes that I always swore my kids would never wear? Ya that brand haha! Which by the way are the ONLY shoes R will wear! I had searched for hours one day trying to find them and they were nearly impossible to find! I'm not sure if crocs stopped making them or what but I had searched and searched and nothing! So I was sifting thru all of the sights my search came up with and I had found a craigslist add in Denver, CO that said she had all of these croc boots for $15 bucks!!!! These are 40$ boots people WOOHOO! Nothing makes me more happy then to find good deals ha! So I contacted this lady and she was super nice and I had asked her if she had the specific sizes I needed and she did indeed, another WOOHOO! So then I started thinking???? She told me that for every additional pair you get 1$ off, I was already getting a super great deal so I decided to buy another pair for next year as well hee hee! I mean what's a girl to do? Now dont get me wrong the good ole fashioned rain boots are adorable but they are heavy and clunky and narrow... R has a very wide foot so these work perfect! They are also super light! I have already got tons of use out of them and I know in the winter I will be able to throw some thick socks on and use them in the snow, 2 for 1 if you ask me.... Can you tell I'm excited about my find??? If you are interested check out Denvers craigslist :) They had Blue, Orange, Yellow, and Pink LOVE EM!!!
He was quite proud of this head lamp he was wearing. He had it on for quite awhile. He had to show me his boo boo!
Seriously!!! He got a speck and I mean speck of water on his shorts so of course they had to come off! R was too funny here as you can tell he was very into what he was telling me with his hand gestures. I'm not sure what he was saying because I was too busy following him around paparazzi style haha!
Um so the storm we had a couple of weeks ago was BRUTAL!!! I couldn't believe it! Paisley and I were outside when I looked over to the west of us to see a huge brown wall coming towards us. We had just gotten done playing in the water slide so when I saw it coming I quickly unplugged it and unhooked it from the blower ran that part up on the porch and ran inside! The kiddos and I stood by my back door and watched the destruction begin. Ryder became hysterical fairly quickly when he saw his favorite toys being destroyed right before his eyes. So what does a mother do? Grab your camera of course to catch the action. Poor guy he was so upset. He said "mama tell it to stop" I really felt so bad because mama can take on a lot but Im pretty sure mother nature would have won that one lol!
Going...
GONE!!!
This is the aftermath look at the back fence, it was getting dark by now so its a little hard to see but stuff was everywhere I will admit it was a little scary. We have also decided that we will have to bury our next trampoline. Even if we pipe glued the pieces the enclosure will never be able to handle the monsoons. We have a couple neighbors who have had the same thing happen to them so I think burying it is our only option. Ahhh so fun! There were also countless trees down around us in the surrounding neighborhood. Also lots of roof tiles came up on several 2 story homes across the street from us. I really have never seen anything like this and I have lived here my whole life :)
Lil miss could have cared less ha! She was just being silly. I was a little nervous those big rocks were not the safest terrain...
We had a great time we always do. Pinetop is my favorite place in AZ. The weather is beautiful and there are so many fun lakes to go play around in. I hope to take our trailer and go up there one last time before the warmer season is over.
This horny toad had the coolest colors on it. Ryder of course loved it and wanted to hold it. It almost scares me that he has no fear with things. He really walks right up to things and just picks them up... yikes!
Take this moth/ whatever you want to call it. He saw it on a leaf and just grabbed it.
This thing was a BUST. H blew and blew and... nothing!
