Randoms over the last THREE months=)

Well, I finally uploaded two cameras and I'm on the computer that has all the picts...so I've squeezed in everything until October:)



First funny pictures from our insane move:




The great guys that came to help us last minute. What fantastic neighbors. I miss that little cud-d-sac!



Camden being bored and entertained with pictures..say cheese...:)




The reason why we didn't get a hotel room and sleept a few hrs in the car.

My boys are good sleepers in their own beds. Great. Remove them from those beds to say ANYWHERE and not so great! We pulled off about one and Camden was screaming his head off. I can't remember what his issue was, but I refused to pay for a room when I had to hold him and then worry about all the people trying to sleep around us and still only sleep a few hours! But the new day was sunny and we were off... again:)




Love this pict! hehe:) Camden was trying to reach eleks head so he could"play" and keenan is completely passed out too you can barely see his ear and side of head:) I don't think you can see it in this pict, but keenan was storing all his stuffed animals on top the tv box. haha:)


Someone asked me if we really travel with our kids all "packed up like this" well the answer is -yes! If you can't make a second trip yep we shove it all in. Keenan loved climbing over to get to his seat. And if there is too much stuff between them -they can't touch each other!



Welcome to Missouri! what were we thinking... the freeway was actually washed out and I was going about 10mph - when I was going!




Much better. We can move here.


This picture reminds me of driving after this storm. The roads were still wet, but I was speeding up with two or three other people. I was behind a small pickup and to the right. I wanted to pass the pick up, but there was a car coming up behind me. I let him pass me then scooted to the left. Then I'm not sure what happened the car in front of me may have hydroplaned an bit. It was horrible to watch a car fling from side to side, over correct repeatedly then get tossed to the medium only to flip over and amazingly be grabbed by barbed wire stuff in mid air and thrown back to the grown backwards. I was completely shocked and filled with sadness for them and desperate gratitude it wasn't me and my babes. I was stunned crying thinking what do I do. At this point I was barely coasting past the pickup and looked at him. He was getting his cell out, dialing. I prayed everyone was okay and kept going. I decided I couldn't help with three children on the side of the freeway and I still feel guilty I didn't stop. Crazy story...



Eleks first day of school:) When people ask Him what grade he is in. He'll say, "I'm not in a grade. I'm in Kindergarten." Technically I guess He's right:)




When we built the downstairs we intended this to be a closet. Every one said what a "wonderful" TV cabinet this would be. We tried it...not so great, but Camden found a way to enjoy it! (the couch is turned because we were seeing if we liked it better if we turned the whole room around)


The first grandchild on Shauns side to be baptised.




What happens when food is out at a "Haney" event:)




Look who's TWO! Probably deserved its own post. However, at this rate I better put it in:)


This was an interesting birthday theme:} Bouncy balls! Camden loves them, my first choice, Micky mouse wasn't going so well so we had to switch -birthday time was here! So Bouncy Ball theme here we come! Note: plastic balls in cake taste horrible!!!


My Dear Camden;) You had a blast on your birthday!


You are such a good sport with your brothers and love playing with them - no matter what. I doesn't matter if they take your toys or try not to play -you forgive them and keep coming back with excitement to be with them. I love the way you say le'lek and eenan, I get a grin just thinking of the way you say their names:) You typically will forgo the first letter in any word which makes me stop and listen to you more, because it is so cute:) You currently carry around two cars -one for each hand and they have to be able to hook to each other back to back! If one falls you say "I ot it." We love watching you run around in your little underwear-your so proud, and I am too:) The other day I watched you run up to your cousin and show him your cars as the two of you shared a few words in two yr old language. I'm amazed at how big you are and how loving your smile is:) We love you Camden boy:)



The kids made these "bouncy ball" hats and insisted we take a picture:)



This is just because it so funny! We shoot those little popper things and for some reason it was scarring the snot out of Camden. He has been around them before with out a problem, but this time it was really getting him!


Since being here we got a visit from this little cutie and her mom-who is also a real cutie:) I wanted to get a picture of her Monkey-ness. She likes to hold everything with here feet! It cracks me up!

We took our house off the market. But before deciding to -I would look out my back windows and would just think of how much I love this view. It is so beautiful. I love the way the sun sets back here just over the tree line. I love the color the light gets in the evening. I love that each of my kids have now had a chance to play in this huge open area. I love watching the harvesting machine that collects the crop-and I wanted to always remember how much I love this spot.
