Rainbow Ranch Playdate.

On Thursday we went on a playdate with some other MOMMES members to the Rainbow Ranch. It was a petting zoo in Nashville, IL. Farmer Allen was super nice to teach us about all his animals. We played with the George Triplets, The Kohlor Triplets, The Ashauer Triplets, and a set of twins. We had a large group for the farmer to entertain. There were new baby pigs, a pregnant Zebra due next month, sheep's, horses, mini horses, camels, cats, dogs, 100 pound rabbits, smaller rabbits, chickens, and tons more. The kids loved it and had a great time walking around for 2 hours in POO. Bella was not going in the gate, she was freaking out. The goats kept coming up and chewing on our clothes, so she was almost to my neck. She finally got better and had fun with the rest of the kids. Thank God cuz I was sure tired of her clawing me up. Fun times.

Awesome Airplanes!!!!!!!!!

On Saturday, Ron's brother called and ask us to bring the kids to his work to see airplanes. He works for the aviation cabinetry department. People bring their planes in to have the cabinets ripped out and all redone. You know the people with money and don't really know how to spend it. Hey I say donate to ME. Oh well, so anyway the picture of the kids siting on the plane that looks beautiful I guess is not good enough for the customer and they want it all redone again.$$$$$$$ We had fun climbing on and off about 5 airplanes. So if anyone sees their airplanes on the pictures, yes we were on there looking around. lol

Swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's house

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to swim on Sunday. It was only the 4th Sunday we had planed on going, but something had always come up. Like the first Sunday it stormed the whole day. The second Sunday Tyler Busted his head open and we sat at urgent care for 3 hours and he got one staple in his head. The third Sunday more storms. So we finally we got to go and they kids loved it. The girls big and little were jumping in off the ladder. The boys were a bit more nervous, but did ok in a boat. Plus they all had floaty swimsuits on. Here are pictures from the fun day.

What boys should NOT look like:

So today has been and do nothing day. We went swimming, but other than that not to much of nothing. Well I guess the boys were bored because they decided to be sisters instead of brothers. Check out the pictures, but don't tell daddy. ha ha. Oh wait and the girls dressed like brothers. Too funny.

4th Of July pictures

The kids were very excited about the fireworks they were gonna see. I was excited to see how they would react to the fireworks this year since they are getting older. When they woke up in the morning they were already asking when we were going to see the fireworks. All day was pretty much the same. We went to the store and got some food for the party at Ron's sisters house. We go there cuz she lives in a neighborhood by Granite City high school and they always have a great fireworks show. We always go there cuz I hate crowds and I am not very nice. So we just hang out in her back yard playing and jumping on trampoline. This year I got some of the plastic golf sets for them to play with. It was fun to watch them play, but scary cuz they just swing the club where ever. So here are some pictures from the 4th.

Finally Hannah's birthday party

So Hannah turned 8 on April14th and we just finally got to do her party on June 14th. I know pretty bad, huh. She had a beach/Luau party. It was fun watching all the kids play on the waterslide and going swimming. They monkeys swam from 1pm-8pm and I made the bigger kids get out a bit after 9pm. It was a long tiresome day. One of Hannah's best friends got to come and even spend the night so that made it the best party ever. So finally July 6th I am finally getting some pictures up.

Swimming is AWESOME

The weather has finally been good enough for us to set the pools up. From the second they wake till the second they fall asleep they want to swim. It is all about going swimming, not food anymore. lol We are all so tan. We have had the waterslide out a few times, but I haven't had time to take pictures, I finally did today. The big girls were up cleaning their room so they could swim in the big pool, so I didn't get any picture of them. Here are pictures of the swimming day:
