We're home!

Now I'm trying to desperately catch up - if that's even possible! I have a busy week ahead with ball games and practices (todays have been canceled so far because of the rain), dance pictures, rehearsals, and the big recital! Oh, and not to mention lots of laundry after a weekend of camping, and since my mom is coming, I need to clean! So this may be my only post this week. I hope to get back to creating next week.

Brianna's last day of school was on Friday and they had their big field day. Since it was cold and wet, they had it inside the school, but they all still had fun! Here is Bri with her ribbon at the end of the day...

Then we headed out on Friday night - the girls were SO excited they could hardly stand it. David and I didn't quite share in their enthusiasm because of the wet and stormy forecast for the weekend - we didn't know how we could stand being stuck in the camper with 3 little girls ;-) But we figured we just need to get out, so we set out. We met David's parents at one of the campgrounds by the Buffalo Bill Reservoir near Cody, Wyoming. It was SO windy (as it usually is) and wet all weekend, so we did spend a lot of the time in the camper - I'm just thankful we're not in tents anymore. I got a lot of knitting done, finished the third Twilight book, the girls had lots of fun card games and activities, plus they learned how to finger crochet - I was very impressed with how fast they picked it up and how well they did it. So even though we didn't do much, it was nice to sit back and relax!

Saturday morning we went to the cemetary in Cody with David's parents and met his brother Martin and his family there. Then we visited the Buffalo Bill Dam - it's really quite a sight, and amazing that it was built 100 years ago!

On Sunday we went to Powell to visit David's Grandma - his brother Martin and his family were there, so the kids had fun playing together. We camped at her house that night and then Monday we went to a few more cemetaries - we got to see the Memorial Day Service at the Byron cemetary. It was very cold and windy, but it was a nice message. After lunch we headed home and it rained the whole way. The moisture is needed here, so I'm not complaining!

Here are some of my favorite pictures from this weekend...

I think Brailee is more ready for potty training than I thought she was. We got her potty chair out a couple of weeks ago just to get her used to it. I've taught her the sign for potty and we 'try' to go every once in a while. Anyway, the minute we got into the camper after arriving in Cody, she tried to pull her clothes off and started signing 'potty' so I got her ready and stuck her on there. I hope this doesn't gross anybody out, but she started 'tooting' and I thought she was actually going to go - it's funny the things that will make a mommy proud!
