I love my nieces and nephews!

I have the cutest nieces and nephews. That is my reason for not having my own. Just kidding of course. On Monday evening I decided I would take all the kids swimming. Oh man that was hard work. I don't know how Rachel and my mom did it. Thanks heavens Sally and Abe weren't there yet. I give all you mothers so much more respect! The kids did a lot of swimming either at the pool or at the pond. They had so much fun at Grandma Isaacson's house. They also enjoyed all the 24th celebration events like the rodeo and the parade. And Haley loved the dance because she got to dance with her Uncles. Slade on the other hand just wanted to hang out at Grandma's because he got to eat Cocoa puffs there. Lol! Slade has such a low voice so it is so fun to listen to him talk. The kids all loved playing with there cousins. It was so good to have us all together. And it was also fun to bring in a few extras, Jacque and her kids got to share the week with us and Lindsay and her family got to share the weekend with us. So we had quite the crowd and enjoyed every minute of it. Here is a slide show of the kids. There is so much more I could write about all these kids but the slide show tells a little bit. I love them all and can't wait to add my own to the crazy bunch.

p.s. I forgot to tell about the rodeo. Raymond and Slade rode sheep and it was so cute. They were the last ones to go so there sheep were tired as Raymond would say. He said his just walked out! And it did. Probably a good thing for our sake. That kid has no fear and is the toughest kid I know. Aneron and Grant rode steers. Poor Granty got stepped on but he handled it like a pro. And Aneron Aneron Aneron, the night before she watched a bull riding movie with me to prepare. She is the toughest little girlie girl I know. She got bucked off and did a back flip. It was a little different then she expected. She got off and said "WOOOOOW!" What great kids! And Haley sat with me and watched. She told me that she would rather watch then get hurt and end up in the hospital. I am totally with her.
