Day 2

Wednesday we decided to start off with canoeing down the Snake river. Honestly I was dreading this adventure because I am not a huge water fan but it was the most beautiful fun thing I think we did. The scenery was gorgeous and it was so peaceful... in between all the dang kids screaming, crying, whining. etc.
 
Aleta and Erwin didn't want to go and once I heard it would take 3 to 4 hours I was nervous of taking Larkyn so she stayed with them. They took her to where we would dock to play in the water.
She loves water.... it was so cold I was surprised!
Here we go!
The water was so chilly but Ryker insisted on riding with Shay
All the kids kept jumping back and forth from the tubes to the canoe
Smile. Poor Ashlyn I had a death grip on her not to move the canoe because I was so nervous of tipping over. HEE HEE
Collide
Shay and Brett were having a hard time keeping up with the canoes. There tubes did not carry them as fast.
Tulsa and Bear
Isn't it gorgeous?
Having fun
Ryker's turn in the boat
He wanted to paddle
I cannot get enough of that crazy smile
Brett going off this rope swing we found along the river
Bear joined the FUN canoe
Brett and Ty were trying to take a nap. It was so relaxing AGAIN in between the kiddos drama.
HEE HEE
We are just floating down and come across this small bull moose. It was so amazing to see one so close.
Gorgeous animals

Ryker and Ashlyn wanted a turn on the tube by themselves
We were floating down a little more and out came this cow moose. She scared me a little because she let out a snort and we were so close.
This doesn't even do it justice how close we were. she literally came out as were floating by.
Catch up!
Finally back... it took us quite a while to get back with our tube friends attached to us.
Sis was trying to drink out of the cup holder 
Silly girl!


After we had some lunch and rested from canoeing we went up to the John Sack cabin. The water was the clearest I have ever seen. 
 
Of course our boy was out playing and wouldn't stop for a photo opt! 
 
Sis was tuckered out
Erwin and Grandma
 This little well pump was adorable, It matched the cabin.
Across the street from Sack's cabin was a bridge where you could buy fish food and feed them (basically the seagulls). Everyone was checking out the big fish!
 Ryker and Bear being crazy as always. Yes Ryker LOVES his boots even when he is wearing shorts.
A little dirt never hurt right?
She was in heaven! So much for having a girly girl!
 Playing well together

4 years old?

Dear Ryker, How in the world are you 4 years old? I remember your Daddy handing me this tiny precious lovie like it was yesterday. I don't care how old or big you get you will ALWAYS be my baby, my first born that taught me so much. I never knew true, pure, deep love until I had you! This has been a BIG year for you.... you are FINALLY "poop" potty trained. Oh my Ryker I cannot believe how INCREDIBLY hard you were to potty train. Although we still have some pee accidents all in all you do great, I think you are just to on the go to take the time out from playing. You started preschool and you love it! Your best friends are Cash and Beckham (Bear). Some mornings you do not want to go and whine that you want me to go with you but you always go and come back home with the biggest smile and tell me how much fun you had. You are learning so much and it amazes me, I will listen and watch you play or watch a tv cartoon and you can usually answer all the questions correctl...

Happy MOTHER'S Day!

I LOVE Mother's Day. I love being a Mommy.... Ryker is truly the BEST thing that has ever happened to me and I am so extremely blessed that he is my baby! I woke up to Ryker saying "Happy Mom" and Chris and Ryker making me breakfast. I got a hand made card from Chris and Ryker and it melted my heart and made me cry like a baby. Chris and I talked before Mother's day and I asked him not to get me any gifts which he was disappointed in but we are in the process for buying a toy hauler and I wanted to make sure that was cut and dried before spending any money. Chris wanted to get me and promised me a seat to go on the back of my four-wheeler.... he spoils me! I love my two lovies so very much! Thank you for making my day so incredibly SPECIAL! I cherish every moment I have with the two men in my life! I've been called a lot of things in my life, but my favorite of all is Mommy! As Dora and I went the cemetery yesterday to decorate Mom's and Grandma'...

My poor baby boy

Ryker had a few bumps on his back that I noticed on Sunday. I figured it was his sensitive skin from us out camping and from me not putting an lotion on him. I hate to put lotion on him when we are camping because I feel like all the dust sticks to him and makes him even more dirty. Anyways on Monday he was so whiny and running a fever so we packed up and came home. Ryker struggled with the fever all night M onday and even actually slept with Chris and I which has never happened. I figured the fever was from two more of his teeth coming through. Anyway Tuesday when he woke up Ryker was normal again happy as can be so we went about our day. Well Wednesday I needed to go to work so I packed Ryker up to take him to Grandma Irene and I was telling her about these bumps on his legs that you could feel but barley see and she said her other granddaughter gets bumps all the time and it's no big deal. She agreed it was probable from camping and his sensitive skin. When Chris brought ...
