Dad & Shyrl aka Buwana



One month ago we lost a family friend to cancer. Shryl was an inspiration to all & he was one of my dad's longest best friends. It has been hard to move on without him, but I know that he is no longer in pain & that he is watching over all of us. I understand that the "Elk Camp" will never be the same, but we need to continue the traditions in his honor.

I will never forget the love that Buwana had for all of us & I will never forget him. His legacy will live on forever. God Bless Buwana!!

Love always!

Gotta love the Hills

Anything ELSE??


So where do I start with this morning?? Kalleigh decided that at 3:15 am she would come crying into my room. I got up & stuck her in bed with me & then she decided that she needed a "jug".

This is her thinking that she's so funny!!! Needless to say I fell back to sleep around 5 am.

Then as I am preparing the kids for the day Alex (Sean's fat cat) throws up all over in the front room. So I clean that up & throw him outside for the day. Next I have Kenion helping me with Kalleigh & getting her dressed, when all of the sudden she's standing in the bathroom naked from the waist down. Kenion in the mean time is laughing in the front room. I yell for him to get a diaper on his sister & his reply is...

"I can't I have to clean it up."

"Clean what up?" I ask.

"Kalleigh pooped on the rug."

"What?"

"Kalleigh pooped on the rug by the front door."

Are you freaking kidding me?? Why is it that Sean's day never goes to hell in a handbag with in the first two hours of the day? Why is it that I am the one who has the world fall apart trying to get the kids ready? AAAHHHH!!!!

Hopefully the night will be better than this morning!!!

RUSH RUSH RUSH!!!

So as if my weekend couldn't have been any more rushed. First thing Saturday morning I woke up & had totally forgot about a wedding gift for my best friends wedding that afternoon. So as I was kissing the hubby goodnight (Sean's on graves & gets home at 6), I had to try & quietly get the kids ready to go. Ash got up & helped me & we were off by 10:30. This is a small miracle in my house ask Sean he will agree. Get to the store try to grab the gift & Kalleigh is not so much in the mood to cooperate. I grabbed a box of colored Goldfish & she was in heaven. Made a mad dash back home & woke Sean up so that he could go with me to the wedding. I'm honestly surprised that he didn't fall asleep during the ceremony. Afterwards we went to the hospital to see my cute new nephew. He is so adorable!!!
Aimee & Ryan's reception was so cute & they seem so happy. I am so glad that he treats her better than her last one. Maybe this marriage I will get to see her more.

So Sunday morning we did absolutley nothing, just laid around being lazy. It was so worth it.
Kalleigh got a bit quiet & so I went looking for her. Needless to say when I found her she was in Ash's room with a yellow sharpie. I guess that she needed to color all over herself & Ash's shelf, but luckly she didn't get the walls. I don't quite know what Ash thinks of living with little ones yet but I think she will adjust. We all will.
