4th of july camping trip

We are all lined up and ready to go on a ride!
Rustin is trying to catch some bugs!
The story behing the big black crow in the toilet. All the boys wanted and tried to shoot one of these blasted crows that would make lots of noise to early in the morning. Any way the crows were very smart like they knew when you had a gun. Well Will was the one to kill one. He decided to play a joke on the smith family and put it in the toilet of there trailer. Well Melissa was the one who pulled her pants down to go to the bathroom and just about sat on the big ugly thing and she screamed! It was funny!
This was a house or cave what ever you want to call it. A man got in a fight some where in AZ lost an eye from the fight came up here dug this cave by hand and became a hermit he also dug himself a water well kinda crazy huh. We did not know that until a rancher came up the hill and told us the story. What a life to live like that.

The kids were enjoing the rides!
We took a little family picture up on top of this mountian that over looked the forest.
Aughust and Sam decided it would be fun to jump there toys and it was so funny and crazy! Boys will be boys. All the girls and kids jumped out so they could be nuts!
So Rustin decided oh ya you guys can jump it well so can I. The kids Chance Riley and Rustin were having so much fun running and jumping the jump on foot!
Rustin on the trail ride holding is favorite toy which was Mary Smiths Dog Milee he never wanted to leave her sight. On the other hand Milee would hide from him ever chance she could get!
this is Jason Smith he is a nut!
So we would go on trail rides pretty much all day long. Well we kinda took the short cut back and the dirt bikes were not street legal so we kept them between us ans Aughust and Melissa on the highway back to camp. It was a little adventure!
So it has been a while since I have updated the blog. So I am starting now. Don't mind all the new posts in a row. We decided to get the heck out of the heat and join my family and some friends for a camping trip up Past Strawberry. We had lots of fun1

Circus

Can you tell by all my post I got a little behind on updating my blog!
I just love my boy!


Rustin and his cousins.


Poppie got us tickets to go see the circus we had so much fun. Rustin sat still the whole time and was glued watching all that was going on! Thanks Poppie and Mee.

add on to our house

Before pictures.



After pictures.


So my husband Jeff gets the bright idea to add on to our house. I am not really wanting to do it since our house is really not worth what we paid for it since the economy took a dump. so I did not want to put any more money into. Well we talked about it and I told Jeff we can do it as long as you do everything because that would save us labor cost. So he said ok. Who knew my jeffrey had it in him. He did everything himself he is a jack of all trades. I knew I married him for a reason. Your amazing honey. The add on is a little office now. Of corse Jeff would say I had to put in cabinents and yes it makes it nice you can never have to much storage.

I want to thank my cousin Kristina for taking the time to run and get all the donations she did and for being at the benefit do chair messages. To my mom thanks for all the running around you did also and for the baked goods you provided. Again thanks to all who made this benefit a hit!
I was so happy to be able to provide my services for the benefit. I was able to do brow and lip waxes and we were craking those women and men in and out of there. It was so fun to talk to people I did not even knoe and they did not know me or my brother but they were there to support amazing!
This is Mark Cami's Hubby. He worked the raffle table what an awesome guy.Thanks Mark for all you did!
If it were not for my best friend Cami this would have never happened. Here she is working her magic with hair. Love this girl. Thanks Cami for all the time and effort you put into this amazing benefit!
The raffle tables and all the amazing items that were donated. Thanks to all who donated things.
She was able to come to her own party!
So the benefit was a hit. We made about $3600.00. Habit Salon was packed with people that day. There were people that came from all over Az it was amazing to see the people come together for this little girl. Words just can not explain the day unless you were there to witness and here all that was happening. Thanks you to all who made this day so wonderful. My Brother Caleb his wife Shelley and little Ellery have been able to have some stress lifted from them and little Ellery was able to get her helmet WooHoo!

Yikes!

So Rustin never really has ever been into climbing up stuff or on stuff or so I thought.Never say never! I was in side just doing the daily routine of being a mom and a wife and Rustin went out back to play. I would go out to check on him and the second time I went out this is what I found. I could not believe that he got up onto the fence. I did not see him do it but he must of got onto the slide and scaled up the wall to the top. He had a mission he wanted to see the eggs in the birds nest that was in the tree. My heart went into my throat when I saw him up there. Boys will be boys he has no fear! His turning into a Denise!
