Camping our first trip in the Camper

This is our camper, it's not too small or too big, it was great! We went with 5 other families, it was a huge circle of campers. Ours being the smallest, but you know we didn't spend a lot of time in the camper and actually all the kids when they played card games (dutch-blitz) they were all in our camper, because our table was the biggest and it fit 6 kids in comfort. At one time there were 8 kids and 2 dogs in this camper! It was great!

Mickey making friends!

Mickey did great! He loved it, there were lots of other dogs, he loved them all, but this little guy was his favorite. His dad is right there, so no worries, Mickey didn't get the best of him! LOL

We Make Big Fire!

Night time fire

Kids having fun by the fire!

Britta in the Black getting ready to ride.

Britta on the 4-wheeler in the black, she gave me a ride, it was fun. She's a pretty good rider, its' not easy controlling that big thing! But she did it and I think she liked it too!

Brady getting ready to give me a ride!

My first motorcycle ride.

We are ready!

On our way to the trail!

Brady just gave me a ride on his bike!

I was nervous, but he did really well, the trail was not the easiest, it was steep and rocky in spots, but he is an excellent rider. I am very proud of him!

First and last time boating of this year!

This was the first time we had a chance on boating, notice no pictures of Britta, because she is our picture taker! But it was nice, weather stayed good for us, but it is, sad to say, our last time this year! It just wasn't a summer to boat. Oh well, there is always next year! :)

The Wildlife

We spotted a white buffalo! We also seen elk, but nothing else! But lots of people!

Britta and Brady at Mammoth

Britta and Brady walking, about 1 hour without us! Doug and I stayed back because Mickey was not allowed on the boardwalk.
But they came back, no black eyes! :)

Old Faithful!

There she blows!

First trip to Yellowstone Park as a family

This was a first time we went to the park all together, in fact it was a first for Britta and Brady. We did a big loop, hit Old Faithful, it was a long day, but fun!

It's me, Britta, I got my braces off Tuesday and it kinda hurt getting them off, my gums are pretty irritated and i can't eat anything to acidic or chewy because it hurts (so much for fun food!!) however i was surprised at how white my teeth were haha i mean i shouldn't be surprised because i don't eat anything really that would stain my teeth ever and i brush very well :) BUT my teeth are so BIG!! i feel like a rabbit, nobody else thinks so though... people say that i look 19! i think they're completely blind and need a walk dog because i dont think i look 19. I got a retainer thats clear and you can't see it, (like invisiline) but it is SOO painful, it pinches me and occasionally fills up with blood. I have to take it out before i eat and its so gross. It works like a night guard though haha perdy cool. but i only have to have it for 2 weeks. After that i get a permanent one that i have to wear only at night for the rest of my life :D super cool, im ESTATIC to start the new school year looking different, but i ASSURE you, im the same goofy hair-brained and completely awesome Britta I'll always be

Mickey

What would our blog be without Mickey?

Ethan-

4th of July pictures, it was such a quick trip I didn't get a lot of pictures, but here is Ethan, drinking water out of a big boy cup! LOL

Bedroom

Our bedroom is huge! This armoir doesn't really "go" with everything... But Doug is on tap to build something new for us that will work!

Walk-in Closet

Our closet! Not full yet- Macy's here I come! just kidding

It is time!

We are now in our new bedroom, it is finished! Been a long time and lots of money, but we are there! Our bed!

Painting the kitchen

That's Britta, hard at it! Doing a great job and she is our interior designer! She picked out the colors! I love it!

Brady and his new purchase!

Brady's Bike... Yamaha 250!What year? Not sure, but he is working hard to earn that bike and has been saving! He deserves it!

Mickey was a Hit

Mickey was a hit with all the kids, they loved to "walk" him! Ethan is testing out his skills as an official dog walker!

Some one on one time with my nephew! It was fun! He likes to wrestle and talk in monster talk!

Tim and Cat's Wedding

Okay, check out her shoes! Love them! It was a very cool wedding! And all the grooms men had black and white chucks on too! Very Fun!

17 years later

We went to Billings for Cat and Tim's wedding and low and behold Pedro Hernandez was doing the ceremony, who married us 17 years ago (August 7th)...

Mickey and Missy meet!

This is their first "touching" encounter, Mickey was sleeping, out like a light and Missy stuck her paws straight out and we put her paw on his nose! It was funny, she didn't even growl!

We got a Puppy! His name is Mickey mick for short. We got the name by thinking of characters of movies and thought of Rocky You know Micky "You'll eat lighting and crap thunder mick" but anyways We got a Puppy!

New to Blogging? Is that a word?

Okay, I decided to do this and hopefully let the kids take over and post pictures and update the "blog"! Give them something to do in the summer months and also to keep our family (hint-hint) aunt Suzie up-to-date, because some people refuse to use Facebook! So there it is! That is the reason for starting the blog. I Just thought I would share a couple pictures and hopefully get the hang of this thing. hahahhaha
