Camping...ugh...







Everyone who knows me knows I hate camping. The bugs. The dirt. Going to the bathroom outside. I just basically hate being outside. Everyone who knows Kell knows he LOVES camping. The fishing. The wildlife. Building fires. He basically just loves being outdoors. He begged me to go camping this year. I begged him to stay in a hotel. Well, we compromised. We went up to Fairview and stayed at his Aunts cabin with all the Mondragons. Good news: It had indoor plumming, we didn't have to sleep in a tent, we were able to cook all our meals indoors and we were there with family. Bad news: We were still camping. The girls got FILTHY and we all know how much I hate when my babies are dirty, there were squirrels running on the roof half the night so I didn't sleep well at all, and everything we own now smells like campfire. I would have made a TERRIBLE pioneer. I've jokingly said that if I were a pioneer I would have died 3/4 of a mile into the trek. I truly believe that would've been the case. So, our first family camping trip (well, almost. Tay stayed with Grandma and Papa. I am sooo glad she stayed home. I missed her, but I was already a basket case trying to keep tabs on both girls the entire time!) was a success. We're all still alive arent we?

8 Years ago today...


Was one of the best days of my life. Kell and I were married for Time and all Eternity. It seems like only yesterday we were dating in high school, going to proms, Kell playing basketball and me cheering him on. Who would've thought that 8 (actually 12!) years later I would still be his biggest fan. I've loved him since the day we met and the only thing thats changed is that I love him more everyday...and one of us has less hair(I'm not saying who!) Hon, thank you for providing for me and the girls, for putting up with my emotional breakdowns, and for being one of the most amazing people I know. I love you-here's to 80 more years!

Cotton Candy




Dear Papa:
We just wanted to thank you again for buying us the cotton candy that mommy specifically asked you not to. Don't worry, the stains came out of our white pants! Mommy thought it would take 4 washes, but the good news is that is only took 3!! Thanks again for making us stickier than we have been in 2 and a half years! We love you...oh, and sorry about the sugar induced fit we had on the ride home...all 3 hours of it! Love: Ellie and Reese
