Warning!!!!!!!!!!! EXTRA LONG POST

Holy cow I don't know where to start, I have been such a slacker mainly because I don't want to edit any pictures but if I don't you will see things that look like crap! mm, well let me go backwards. On July 5th, I went with two good friends Sammi and Ashlee to Ross park and took the kids swimming. Koye took to the water like a pro, he loves it. Imree, it took a little longer, but here is a story we were on the lazy river and Imree wanted her own tube so I let her sit on it by herself and I just held it, well someone bumped me and I let go for a second and Imree fell off, head under water, grabbed her as quick as I could, she didn't cry or anything just laughed and wanted back on the tube. Second time around, she decided to move around and fell through the middle of the tube, well the tube went over her head and I'm not kidding she was on the bottom of the pool this time and people are all over, I'm trying to get her out of the water. Finally, I pull her out of the water and she looks at me, sneezes and acted like she was going to cry for about 2.5 seconds, but doesn't. She is one tough cookie. Then she didn't want to stop playing in the water, she was having a blast. Koye was doing his usual, showing off, picking on the little kids! I decided yesterday Imree is my little water baby, most kids would have been bawling their eyes out. Fun times, can't wait to go again next week.

July 4th, we had a small BBQ at our house with Tricia and Calvin and their kids and Chad and Megan came with their two little guys too. We of course had hamburgers, Tricia's amazing snicker salad, chips.. you know the usual. We sat around and chatted for a bit, Chad and Megan left and went to the fireworks in Poky. We had our own little firework show at my house. It was so much and the sparklers are always a huge hit! Imree loves the Pops, Tricia is yelling at her kids telling them not to through them at each other, well me being the adult I am decided to through them at her.. whoops, not a good example! It was such a good time with some great friends! First time EVER..Koye asked me if he could go to sleep!! I was so surprised, I think I finally wore the kid out!!

 Cain messing around on his bike.. Trying to get Koye to do it.. MM is this really a good idea!

This was Imree at the end of the night.. do you think she is tired? 

July 3rd, the kids and I went to church and hurried home as fast as we could, changed into our swimsuits hurried and set up the Slip-N-Slide and played for a few hours on it. They had a blast I even some how got Cain to go on it. Just so you all          know, I am the queen of the Slip-N-Slide, I loved it as a kid and it is still so much fun as and adult! I'm reading on the box and it says not for kids ages 5 and under or  kids12 and up and weigh over 110 pounds. mmm whoops! Later that day we decided to take a movie to a friend who had a small surgery. They live about 4 miles away and Koye was begging to go for a bike ride, so we up and left to their house. 4 miles there and 4 miles back with a small break at the church where instead of resting we went and ran the bases on the softball fields. Koye did awesome, he rode his bike without any complaints, didn't get tired...8 miles for a little 5 year old! What a rock star!! I was so proud of him! I will admit, I even got a little tired, but I also had Imree in the trailer.. see extra weight!!!

July 2nd, I got up..haha just teasing! I got up pretty late cause I had worked the night before, Anyway, I got up and went over to my parents to ride Spot (my horse) and Koye came with me so he could practice roping the dummy and riding Sammy. He did amazing, we had a little accident a while ago and he got a little scared of Sammy, but he started to trot again, I'm on the ground racing him while he is on the horse. He has a blast. After that Koye stayed at my parents and Imree and I went and picked up Tricia and went to Costco and of course KIWI LOCO!! Anyway, I locked my dang keys in the car at Costco.. thank goodness for OnStar! Later that night we took the kids to the Drive Inn to see Cars 2.. Koye and Imree were so excited to watch a movie in the back of the truck. Koye thought we were staying the night there. So funny. It was a blast and what a funny movie! Koye stayed awake through most of it, Imree was out about half way through! It was a blast, I love the the Drive Inn.. cheap and super super fun!!

Wowee.. it was busier than I realized last week!! My kids are amazing and so smart, fun amazing. They are my world without them I don't have a clue where I would be! Love love love them!!!
