Week 13- New camper and crazy children

I made a favorite new recipe for dinner and we loved it!  It was so simple. Penne noodles. 1 package smoked sausage and 1 bottle Prego Creamy Vodka sauce. Cut and brown the sausage. Boil the noodles and drain. Mix all together with the sauce. I topped with some shredded mozzarella. That simple and yummy!

 In other news.. we bought a trailer woo woo! We are so excited! My parents have been talking about buying a new trailer for over a year now and we told them when they do we wanted dibs on their old trailer. Its a good thing we spoke WAY in advance because it turns out a lot of other people wanted it too. About a month and a half ago my parents and Todd and Jana went to the RV show together and they BOTH bought new trailers. Good news for us! Here is our new house on wheels. We cant wait to take it on our first camping trip together.

I cant wait to see Chris try and fit in the shower hahaha!

 our master suite

 The other day at work I was DYING for a DP. My dad had just came on shift and he usually does rounds and goes to all the stations at the start of his shift. I text him and told him when he does if he has time and wanted too it would really make me happy if he could bring me a Dr Pepper. A little bit later he shows up with TWO. He said he figured if one would make me really happy two would make me really really happy.

We are wild wild wild people. This is a typical Friday night in our house. Chris searching KSL ads for a brittany female pup. Kennedy cuddled on the couch with him.

 Hes been playing in the backyard more. We are getting close! The first week of April we can burn our big tree pile and then I can get my garden in. He will be done with that section of dirt by then.

 I have been working a lot lately. I came home one day and had so much to do after work. Miss K brought me Toy Story 2 and said "Mom I was thinking we could cuddle with a blanket on the couch and watch this together. I really want to snuggle with you" Thats all it took. I couldnt say no to that. I had a lot to do but spending time with her was more important right then.

She held my hand and we watched a movie. It was so sweet my heart melted.

A little bit later that same very sweet girl came downstairs and I caught her grabbing scissors. I asked what she was doing and she said she wanted some ice tea (we have those individual Crystal Light packets for water bottles. She loves them) I told her no. She could have some in a little bit but not right now, put the scissors back and go finish cleaning your room. A while later she said her room was spotless and she came downstairs. Her face, hands, shirt and pants were stained this funny reddish color. 

I asked her if she was messing with markers.. no. 

what did you eat?? nothing

Whats all over you? She looks at her self and says I dont see anything?

Im getting mad at this point because its pretty obvious. Then the light clicks on.. is it tea? No...well..um...

So we go upstairs, which is a DISASTER not spotless like she had just said and I find this. She took a water bottle, scissors, a plate and tea upstairs. Mixed it up on the plate and drank it like a puppy having a tea party... Its hard to tell but you can see how stained her chin is. Needless to say she had to miss archery that night and lose a few other things..after she made her room spotless for real. 

 Chris and I both made high score points over average this week woo hoo!

 Mom and I went to IFA and saw the chicks and bunnies. Hopefully next week we will be getting our chicks! Moms petting the bunnies here... um mom...

Kini Bean came over selling candy bars for school. How could I say no to this face!??

 Koree came to visit too 

 I had to get her out and snuggle her

 Kennedy and Kinlie came downstairs. They had somehow found baling twine and tied themselves together by the belt loops. We told them they had to stay like that.

 We took Taylor up to the indoor range to work on sighting in his new bow. He was grouping good and shot through one of his brand new veins.

 How adorable is this!? We are SO lucky with our sitter. Not only because she comes to our house every day, takes K to school and picks her up but she also helps her with her homework and loves her. We couldn't get any luckier

Week 12- Backyard Tractor Work

This week these little squishy faced kids turned 24! Happy bday twins!

 To show you its not all roses and happy times at our house... Miss K has been ridiculously sassy, emotional, not listening and defiant lately. She was sent to go clean her room and told me it was done and she was going to bed.. this is what I found when I walked upstairs. She had been working on it for over an hour and it looked worse than when she started. All she did was play and make a mess.

The kicker.. see that WHOLE ROLL of toilet paper at the bottom of her bed... ya she took an entire roll and unraveled it and used it for Tangled hair. She had to put it all in bag and take it downstairs and use it for the rest of the week until it was gone. 

 After about 4 days she FINALLY got over whatever it was an was back to Kennedy. She has been obsessed about me dying lately? Not sure why but she keeps talking about how she doesn't want it to happen. She came over other day and gave me a hug and said "Mom I'm so sorry that you're so old at 28. You're so old you're going to be going to heaven soon" Thanks kid! 

Jana, Mom and I went to a DoTerra Oil party at Grandma Kathys house. It was a wild night.. It started at 7 and I was home by 10. Kennedy was already in bed when I got home. She came down the next morning and crawled into bed with me and said "Mom I was soooo worried about you last night. I thought you'd died you were gone so long! What was Grandma Jana doing? Trying to keep you gone all night long with her!? I was here and dad was turning into a frog, you know when he gets all bossy"

I shot my highest score so far this week. A 287. I was pretty stinking happy with that!

Sunset after fire drill

 Kennedy finally had her final round of filings done. She was singing Frozen songs at the top of her lungs with the ear phones on. She keeps asking if maybe she can get Frozen for Easter. We told her we would have to see but if she wanted to earn money before then we would give her a list of chores and if she did them she would be able to save up enough money in two weeks to buy Frozen.. We will see if it happens!

 After her dentist appointment we stopped to see baby Koree. Shes SO cuddly and snuggly

We've been doing a lot of backyard work. Chris has spent a lot of time working on leveling the backyard. We had a huge pile along the fence line when we moved in and have started tearing it down and flattening it. When Chris started digging through the big pile he found all kinds of stuff that had been burried... bricks, tile, concrete pavers, pieces of railroad rail and the usual lots of rocks!

Hes taken a lot out of the grade off the grass. In April we will be able to burn that big pile of limbs from cutting our tree.

With the discovery of all the buried junk the piles he decided he needed a screen to filter the dirt with. We have this platform in the backyard and he thought he would give it a try to see if it would work. He pulled it off the trailer

 We leaned it up against the few inches of concrete that stick out on one of our walls and angled the rest down to the ground to see if it would give it enough slope.

 However the angle was wrong, he needed to be able to dump from the back not the side and the dirt didnt really feed well through it.

So onto plan two his dad and him built this screen. Once again from scraps of things they had between the two houses. This way he can come in from the back so the big rocks run down the screen and go right to the ground. The smaller rocks and dirt filter through.

It worked out pretty well. The large rocks bounced off and the dirt sank through.

                                 

As you can see we still have a lot to go and even out along the fence line but it will be nice not having all those rocks and tiles and bricks and concrete pieces in it!

 Thursday the weather was so great I had to go shoot at my parents

I worked on sighting some of my further pins in a little more. This is 40 yards

 Kennedy's been helping in the back yard too. She was doing some rake dancing

.

 Todd and Jana had some work being done in their garage and had their cars parked outside. I needed to stop and so I had to park out of the driveway too. I started cracking up at how patriotic it looked!

Mom and I ran errands and had to stop to try a new restaurant. As we were sitting there eating dad walked in! He was working OFD and needed to grab some menus. He didnt even know we were going to be there. The food was pretty good. The ice tea was amazing. I have been on a really big ice tea kick lately

                         

 Of course K had to do some shooting too

I bought Koree a new outfit and a bow to go with it. She has SO much pink stuff she needed something different :)

The weather this weekend was slightly chilly but oh so sunny! I cleaned my car finally. I feel much better

 Chris started aerating lawns Friday. He has so many he needs to do plus is picking up some steady business! He does regular size lawns for $30. 

 We did 4 of them yesterday and hes got about another 10 to do Saturday
