Long post.. playing catch up!!!

 We bought some 4-wheelers this spring!! We enjoy the heck out of them!! Well I guess Koye and I do!! Cain plays its safe, which is probably a good thing!!!

 I took the kids through the mud puddles!! We had a blast, we were soaked but it was so much fun!! Imree would cover her eyes then right before we got to the puddles she would mover her hands!! Silly girl!!

Koye Graduated Kindergarten this year.. phew.. I was a little worried!! Since this post is so long as is, here are just some fun pictures!!

 Koye and his teacher Mrs. Warren..she is AMAZING, I am so impressed with her and all the patience she has with these kids, I volunteered in there a few times and it was a blast!!! 6 years olds are so funny and think they know everything!

This is Mrs. Jacobson, we know her well from the fair!! We all go way back!! She is a great lady and is a teacher at Moreland as well

 

 Koye and Grandma and Grandpa Simper!!

Class of 2024 sounds so WEIRD!! I know its just going to fly by though!

Love this kid so much and I am so very proud of his hard work and how much he learned this year!!!

It has been so long since I have blogged! Well let me start backwards...

July 4th!! Independence Day:
We went to Mackay and had a little bbq and fished, I have to say I was the only one to catch a fish!! I was so excited since it has been I don't even know how many years since I have been fishing!! Imree was cracking me up, all she wanted to do was touch the worms. She wouldn't touch the fish but she would get you a worm anytime!! Koye would hold the fish by its mouth, that was cracking me up. Finally he did but only cause I paid him a dollar, but after he held it, he was all about it!! That kid makes me laugh pretty hard sometimes!!

Koye had a Blue Rasberry Slushy!! Doesn't his tongue match those beautiful eyes?!!

July 3rd,

Some good friends came to hang out and eat pizza and brownies and play lightning.. do you guys remember what lightning is? I love love love that game!! I will say I won a few times!! It makes me realize how out of shape I am.. holy moly!!! Its a game but I take it pretty serious!! Then we lit a few fireworks, kinda lame but they worked!! The kids had fun and that is all that matters!! We came in and the adults played the funniest game EVER.. its called Loaded Questions (adult version).. it is a blast. The kids watched Mirror Mirror ad all but three of them fell asleep, Imree, Mailee and Spencer were playing and made the biggest mess I have ever seen!! I was laughing so hard!!

Weekend of June 30th: Camping in Spencer!!!
Let me start with the Thursday before, we were at Koye's last T-ball game EVER, cause next year its coach pitch!! I can't wait anyway, we decided that I was going to leave friday morning get there early and set things up and Cain would just come up after work. Well Thursday night Cain was greesing the trailer and he broke 2 zirks? don't ask me what that is, it is whatever  makes it so you can get the grease into the wheels.. andway he broke those and was livid!! All I could do was laugh!! Yep thats me always making things better!! Friday morning comes and I'm still having to pack everything, Cain gives me this massive list of crap and half of it I couldn't find, couldn't find the key to get his guns, couldn't find anything!! oh it was a morning!!! Only a half hour late I met Calvin, Tricia, Russell and his friend Stacy. We were on our way!! We got there no problems!! Set up tent and things and went for a 4-wheeler ride, well the time came when Calvin was going to go meet Cain and well they were gone for about an hour and half.. well Cain turned the wrong way, got a flat tire, fixed his flat and finally Calvin and Russell found Cain!! It was hilarious!! Well not to Cain cause when they got back to camp you could see the steam coming out of his ears!! Stacy, Tricia and I went on a 4 wheeler ride down one trail, lucky us we saw a Moose and her calf!! She was not impressed with me taking her picture!! Earlier in the day, Tricia was standing on a little island in the creek, the island broke off and she fell on her BUTT!! it was hilarious

Day 2 of camping, Cain and I leave about 9:30 to take the car to Dubois to see if we can either fix the tire or get a used on, well the big town of Dubois didn't have a tire dealership, so we were headed to Hamer and we knew one was there, just not sure what time they closed.. well at 11:15 I finally get a hold of them and they close at 12.. aaahhh not good.. I get Cain to pull over and we haul butt to Hamer and get there, the tire is not fixable.. DANG!! They didn't have any used ones, so we had to buy a brand new tire and lucky us, they only had one!! ONE TIRE!! gggrrrr 4 hours later we finally get back to camp!! woohoo!! We went on a super super good 4 wheeler ride on so many trails, it it gorgeous up there!! I could live there and be happy!! That night we made "Fairies in a jar" the kids loved those!! That was what they used at the "night lights that night"!!! haha Cain was a poor sport okay well an old man and went to bed at like 930... REALLY? Next time, he will get some tricks played on him!! hee hee!! It was so much fun, I hadn't been camping in gosh 8 years probably!! I'm loving my new 4-wheeler!!! The kids built this massive super cool fort!! They did an amazing job!! I can't wait to go back in a couple weeks and see it again!!

Day 3, we had breakfast then cleaned up camp, packed up and went on a 4 wheeler ride to this pond in the middle of no where, the kids all tried to catch frogs. They were having a blast, I had to sit back and not push anyone in. It was really hard for me, if you know me at all!! I love to play jokes!! On the way back, I took Koye on a ride that had some fun hills on it!! He wanted to sit in front of the 4-wheeler, I let him and I hit this hill a little too fast I guess and his helmet hit my chin so hard I have a bruise and Koye has a massive scratch on his chin !! Poor kid, but he was tough and continued to ride but in the back and was laughing by the end!! We packed up and headed out!!! I dropped Cain off at the car and Ashlee (Tricia's daughter) and Imree and I drove the truck and 4-wheelers home!! We were singing and dying of heat.. mind you I forget to get the A/C fixed in the truck!! Whoops!!! It was such a fun trip!! I loved every minute of it!!

One last little post and I will be done today!!

Koye played T-ball again this year!! I love baseball, it is by far my most favorite sport to watch in person!! I will say T-ball drives me nuts, it is so boring sometimes!! Next year I can't wait for Coach Pitch!! If I were you, listening to this video, I would mute it!! I'm a little annoying!!
