The Blue Angels!!!!!

This is what we do on Saturday mornings as long as the sun is out.  Eat breakfast on the back deck.  Its great:)

Rick and the kids went to see the BLUE ANGELS on the base today.  This what Dad shows the kids when he has them.  How to chew grass.LOL  (they look to cute)

Rick took this photo it looks like him and the kids were in the plane it looked so cool!!!

Here is the planes doing tricks

Hunter said "Mom it was so loud but dad brought our ear muffs!"

Do the kids look like they had FUN!!!!  This was the kids talking to one of the pilots.  He told them he flew this plane in from Idaho and that it took him 2 hours to get to Alaska.  The kids were very impressed.   

Skate Land?

Took the kids to the park it was a nice day.  We got on the swings but the kids had to swing with me:)

Then it Hunters turn too:)

Then Olivia had to ride the bike down this hill (she is my dare devil) she is not scarred at all!!!

And I went for a run around the track while the kids played in the park.  Have I told you I have lost 5.4 lbs. (yea 4 me!) going to the beach this Christmas need to get in a I can't even say the word bathing suit:0

Olivia got invited to Skate Land (that brought back memories getting drop off on Friday nights to hang out with your friends and skate for hours to the 80's music) and YES!!! I can still skate and dance at the same time LOL!!!!!!!

this is Olivia and her friend Holly from school

Olivia and her fiend Katie also from school

And the girls eating pizza and cake (it was Holly's sisters birthday) we had FUN!!!

Look Mom No......!

Well Hunter did it he is growing up.  We took his training wheel off yesterday!  He was so proud of himself he could not wait for Dad to get home from work to show him:) 

"Look Mom no training wheels!!!!"  as he peddled down the road

And when Dad got home he did it again.  Then Rick took the kids to see a baseball game that evening while I have some quite time.  I gave myself a facial and painted my toes and just  watched my HGTV show!! (without any one talking)LOL!!

Some times you have to get away!!!!!

Okay I know I did my blog for the week but had to add this one for the grandparents.  Olivia lost her second tooth tonight and she let mom pull it out again.  Next top teeth;)

So everyone knows we go to Big Lake alot.  That is our get away from home (not to far but far enough)!  We decided not to come in until Monday afternoon Rick went to work and the kids and I just slept in and went out on the paddle boat to FUN!!!!!

This is the view when we got there Friday night @ 11:30pm so relaxing .  We put the kids to bed Rick and I just enjoyed the sun set.

This is what we woke up to on Saturday morning:(

But by 11:00 am  the sun was out and we were ready to go on a boat ride:) 

so were the kids hats and all LOL!!!

We always meet up with friends while we are there it is awesome!!!

and by the end on the day we always (get the dads) to build a fire and do SMORES

Its not just for the kids you know :)

Olivia loves being able to see all the wild life @ Big Lake and touching it, picking it up ;( were is my hand wash)LOL This was Sunday morning walking over to the other cabin.

and we saw a wild bunny. No! Olivia we can not bring it home

The kids have so much fun together!!!

They even did a Scavenger Hunt.  The list entailed; 3  sticks, 4 white rocks, 2 green leaves, etc.  

We even love caching up with every ones life's!!  Its like a family reunion!!!

Hunter Thomas Rodgers

Hunter was born on November 14, 2003(feels like yesterday).  He is now 4 years old and is the very upservent of a lot of things.  Unlike his sister(Olivia) who jumps right in with both feet and eyes closed.  Hunter is laid back and gets to know is surroundings but very sweet.  Any ways he has been asking alot about him being in my tummy and about the birth.  So the kids have baby photos of them self's which they love looking at.  For the past week now Hunter just site by himself and just looks thought is baby book just smiling every now and then(at times I think what is he thinking)but it makes me smile;)
