It just cracked me up

So yesterday as we were eating dinner, we all heard Becky doing something funny under the table. As we were all distracted with watching her, Kyla, the little sneak, swiped Brevens fork and says, "Breven look, your fork turned invisible!"

"What?" Breven exclaims, "I can't see it" and begins to feel all around for his invisible fork.

(any one remember the invisible toy I looked for?)

I don't know why, but this just cracked me up. I could not stop laughing.

After a little bit we had to ask Kyla to make Breven's fork reappear so we could finish dinner.

But just so you know, when you are with Kyla, watch out for things that turn invisible.

And that's just how we roll

We now have the bikes to go on rides as a family and have every keep up.

So we went on our family bike ride to a park just up the street. It is a new park so the information on the trails is slim. So we just decided to take one and enjoy a ride. It was an easy ride.....or so we thought. As we started out the trailer stayed on the trail just fine, even if it was a bit rocky. But as we kept going, the trail kept getting smaller. Half way through the loop ( or so we thought ) it was only wide enough for one bike, we were just going to keep going instead of turning around. It wasn't so bad, yet.

After we passed the first small boulders and large rocks known as the rock gardens we weren't sure we wanted to keep going on the same trail but didn't want to turn around to go past them again so we just kept going. Surely it wouldn't get worse. But it did, and each time we would say to ourselves, we are more than half way there, we don't want to go over that agin, and it can't be worse. Funny, it did get worse. It got to the point the kids were bouncing all over the trailer, and thankfully laughing, every once in a while one side of the trailer dropping 3 to 6 inches off a rock as we struggled to get past the next rock garden. The very last part we ended up getting off our bikes, leaving one behind as we pulled the bike and kids up about a 35 degree hill. The bike being so heavy in the back that the front tire came off the the ground and it was all I could do to keep it going up the hill instead of rolling back down on Andrew. Our trailer ended up with two flat tires and the bolts holding the bike seat on were gone when we got back to the car.

It was so fun! Crazy I know but it really was an adventure.

The set up

Every once in a while, Becky had to turn around and say hello to everyone.

There were so many flowers all around It was really really pretty!!!

In one of the good parts of the trail. Even though it wasn't wide enough

A video of one of the rock gardens we went though.

A little hike.

San Antonio has a lot of state parks and other natural areas around here. So while Andrew was gone on a meet we found a new one and took a little walk.

Brev found a tree and climbed it himself.

The kids were pretending to fall down the hill. Very convincing!

Rain!

Did you ever love playing in the rain as a child? Well the other day we had a LOT of rain, so we had a river for a street and a lake for a field. It really was raining hard. Hard enough the water came up over the curb and into our lawn. And what did we do about it? Well we played in it!

this is what Becky's tounge usually looks like! Isn't it so cute?

9 Years!

9 years and still happily Married! I Love my Husband so much!

Are you smarter than a Kindergardener?

Well lets see, Using the logic of a kinder student, answer the questions below.

What is 4 with two zero's behind it?

Kyla's answer... Four Hundred.

What is 3 with two zero's behind it?

Kyla's answer... Three Hundred.

What is 2 with two zero's behind it?

Kyla's answer... Two Hundred.

What is 1 with two zero's behind it?

Kyla's answer... One Hundred.

What is two zero's?

Kyla's answer.....Hundred.

Kyla is really getting into math and is always giving me questions to answer. I like her logic to her questions and answers above.

a misunderstanding

So we in our home have been fairly fortunate as far as the stomach flu goes. Kyla has been the only one of our kids who have had the stomach flu, and that was just before Breven was born. Yesterday, Breven and I, ate something bad, and both got food poisoning. We were both up all night feeling awful. Breven, who has only seen me throw up when I was pregnant started wondering when he was going to have a baby. Poor kid is very confused, and very sick :(
