Boys and their toys - girls and their.......kids?


For about 10 years now Dan and his bestest friends from High School (Spencer & Ethan) have been dreaming up a super sweet nighttime paintball game. Finally they were able to make those dreams a reality. They planned an overnight campout with friends and brothers and paintball. They were all so excited, they were like getty school girls.  Dan even said "It is not macho how excited I am right now!" 


Thankfully, all of us wives enjoy each other and so we decided to hang out together while our boys were out playing war. The only bummer... there was 15 kids!  Fifteen kids is a LOT of dang kids. At times it was very loud but in all it was a lot of fun. I would do it again in a second.

My girlfriends Celinda and Jen and my sister-in-law Aubrey and I made breakfast for dinner for all the kids and then painted our nails and talked about our husbands (all good of course!)



Celinda and her 2 1/2 year old Abbey.


Jen cutting onions, apparently every home cook needs onion goggles!
Aubrey cooking up some hashbrown - yummmm

Olivia LOVES Brookie (Bookie is what she calls her, which is an improvement on boogie - which is what she used to call her)
Jet is Spencer & Celinda's baby, I think he is about 5 months now. I love babies!

Ryleigh, Jayda, Tayler & Ashley just snuggled down on Ethan & Jen's bed and watched tween movies all night!

Brookie, again. She is such a dang cutie

The boys and Kylie were having a blast playing the Wii in Tayler's room. The rest of these pictures are actually pretty funny because the room was pitch black and I  told them to strike a pose and this is what they looked like when the flash went off!

Kylie Bear

Spencer Roonie! I love how Spencer has no problem keeping his eyes open when a bright flash bursts in his eyes when he is standing in absolute darkness but heaven forbid he keep his eyes open for a picture in the daylight!

Garrett & Ethan being goofballs!
