Camping Trip....

So I bit the bullet and took the family camping. When I say ME, I mean ME. It was my idea and I planned it all. If you know me then you know that I hate camping, but I know that my family enjoys it so I thought I could deal with it for one night and take the fam camping! I'm glad we only went for 24 hours (yes I kept track). I don't know if i could have done it much longer then that. I know there are a ton of pics, but I really don't know how to pick only a few of them. So WARNING LOTS OF PICS! I wish I would have gotten more with my parents because they were so great with the kids. I don't think we would have gone if they didn't come too. My kids just follow them around. I often wonder, "What's the point of their parents being here, when all they want are Papa and D." I LOVE that my kids enjoy them and that they are borderline obsessed with them! Enjoy!

Kayla and Chrissy
Sweetest picture.

Chrissy's look cracks me up. I was yelling at her to stop throwing rocks.
Kayla yelling at me for something.
Chasing squirrels...

As soon as Papa set up his tent, Cameron was right in there to set up his sleeping bag. He didn't even want to sleep with his family.

Hot Summer Day...

A few weeks ago I took the kids outside to play in the water. They love being outside. I love it until I end up chasing the kids everywhere, then I get exhausted and think how nice a nap sounds. On this day the Schwan Man came by and he was so kind to give us 5 ice cream sandwiches. I was excited because I was debating whether to get the Ice Cream Sandwiches or the Mint and Chip Cones. I'm SO glad I chose the Mint and Chip Cones! SOOO Yummy! My kids loved the ice cream and sure made a mess of it. I'm trying to relax a little more so the mess didn't really phase me. Here are some pics from that day!

I think Chrissy has more on her face then in her tummy...

Kayla's poor eyes get soo red and swollen when we hang out outside.

My hot husband!

Cameron watering the new tree.

The girls laughing at there messy faces..

Cameron ran up to this plant and started hugging it. He is so cute!

Happy 4th of July

This is the first 4th of July that the Stevens Family didn't all meet up and go camping in Beaver mountains. I was kind of relieved because I'm definitely not a camper, but when I woke up on Saturday morning I was actually bummed that I wasn't in the mountains. It is always nice to get out of your own routine in life and get away for a few days, so when it didn't happen this year I was sad. Hopefully, we can continue the tradition next year though!
So since we stayed home this year, Rory's family all got together at the park. It was nice seeing some of his family. I haven't seen a lot of them since we were married almost 6 years ago. My kids ran around like crazy at the park. I know they had fun, but I just couldn't help but think how disgusting park toys and the sand is. It really grosses me out if I think too much about it. Thank goodness for sanitizer though. So here are pictures from the fun day. Warning: There are a lot of pics!
Park Day
Kayla sure makes some cute faces.

I love his face!

This is what happens when Cameron tries to climb the slide, the girls shortly follow.Doesn't he have the cutest face?

Chrissy loved going down the slide.

Kayla has such a cute grin.

Cameron and Miss Chrissy playing in the sand.

Kayla is obsessed with her daddy. She will follow him around everywhere. Prime example in the picture below.

Rory is such a good dad. I have been so impressed with him and the role that he has played in each of their lives. He loves spending time with them and really enjoys them.

Playing by themselves in the grass...

Chrissy and Kayla

Chrissy very photogenic.
This is Cameron's version of "tag, you're it." He runs, pushes baby down, and runs, while yelling, "TAG YOU'RE IT."
Kayla was so happy climbing all over.
Cameron trying sooo hard.
So proud of himself when he finally made it to the top...

FIREWORKS on July 3rd

Cameron was so intrigued with the fireworks.
I had to lock them in the yard or they would have ran EVERYWHERE!!! And that late at night I'm sooo over chasing them.
Cameron gets so annoyed with all the pictures that I try to take...

Kayla is so stinking cute!
Cameron and Daddy with the fireworks.
Rory thinks he is so cool with the sparklers. He makes me laugh so much cause he is such a dork sometimes.
Look how HOT my hubby is!
Rory and "Yours Truly" We started calling the twins Yours Truly. When it's Kayla, I say "Yours Truly needs you." And when it is Chrissy he says, "Yours Truly needs you." We think we are so funny.. :)

I don't know why, but I think I look a lot like my mom in this picture...

Rory was obsessed with taking pictures of me with the sparklers.
