4th of July 2011

This Independece Day we got to have Aidan and it was HOT this year! We spent alot of the weekend outside playing in the yard along with a picnic under the trees.
 We decided to stay home this year and play with a few of our own fireworks.


We took Aidan on his first jeep trip with the bikini top. He wanted to go fast....but then it got a little too windy for him :)


 We had fun blowing up our pretties in the back yard.


Along with our noise makers.


 Writing your names with sparklers.


We raced and burned firework worms that I would remember doing these as kids in our backyard at home with mom and dad hundled around watching these grow being so amazed! I think they are still awesome. 


 Independence Day is never the same without smoke bombs!


Aidan had his awesome Monster truck that screamed, spit fire, rolled over the burnt snakes, and then smoked out of its stacks when it was done.


4th of July was great!!!

Welcome Miss Aubrey!

Welcome Aubrey Rae Gildley!
9:08am

Weird to think she was just camping with us in Mandy's belly 5 days before she was born. We are so excited to watch her grow into a beautiful smart woman.


 She is so cute and i am so proud and excited for our good friends Mandy and Ryan. Congratulations Gidley Family! We are so excited for you! I know i will be posting lots of pictures of this cutie pie!

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

FINALLY after all these years the Gidley's have asked us we finally were able to join the tradition of camping at White Pass in Eastern Washington. We are so excited to continue the tradition each year. This was Scout's first camping trip, and to be honest, I was a little nervous on how she would react.


The weekend was Me, Johnny, Scout, Mandy, Ryan, soon to be Aubrey who will be born in three weeks....maybe sooner :), Sammie and Mark, Tyler, Heather and their dog Abby.


 The weather was great, we enjoyed Sun, Snow, Wind, Hail, Scout's Tattoo that started on Scout's butt...then I put on the head of Mandy's chair...and some how ended Mandy's butt. I was nervous...but they all convinced  me to drink the Four Loko (1 1/2)...i was very Four (relly 6) Loko Saturday night...but Negative Four (6) Loko the next day.


 We should be getting more pictures from Sammie since Johnny and I kept our phones in the truck most of the time...it was nice not knowing the time and well...just relaxing. We fished, napping, sat by the fire, snacked, drank, and enjoyed great company of friends.


The picture on the bottom left is now my screen saver at work. Scout did such a great job. We took a lether...but she didn't need it at all. She stayed at eye site the whole time and enjoyed the vacation as well.


Johnny even took a dip in the lake (not by choice)..more picture to come.


My favorite part...hot fire...cold beer...and watching them chop wood!


The count down has begun for next years Memorial Day Tradition!

Scouts Outdoor Home

Johnny and I had a great time builing Scout's home that we designed.


 It sure was a fun project for us two to work on. Scout enjoyed watching us build it. You can see her inside the middle picture.


Her house is made out of cedar, once it was built....then the trick was to move it :)
The top is on hinges so we can open it. I hope she loves it!

What we've been up to...

We sure have been busy these last few weeks. Johnny's parents and Grandparents visited and brought Aidan a new bike. Before we put the training wheels on we took him for his first spin on his first "big boy's" bike!


I got my first bloom out of my pots on my deck!


We bought a Jeep :)


I got the honor of babysitting my nephew Kellen.


We did some landscaping and i am kicking myself for not taking before pictures. But the picture on the left was all grass which we turned it into beautiful bedding. Thank you to mom and Johnny for all the help. The picture on the right is our stone path made from rocks gathered around our property and our patch of grass that is about now 80% grown.


Scout loves going on car rides with me and i love looking in my rearview mirrow and just seeing this:
