This whole trip was pretty cold, so we didn't get too many shots on the boat or in town. In a couple of weeks we will go again and it will be super warm. We played cards and colored a lot. We watched movies and weeded the driveway. It was quite enjoyable. IT WAS COLD THIS DAY, BUT HE WANTED TO RIDE ON THE BOAT. GOOD JOB CAPTAIN JOEY!
HE IS SO CUTE, I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF! Dang, I love you! I think Katie and Trav look super hot in this picture, don't you agree? Long night of partying, we are exhausted( that is watching everyone else party) hee hee- ps, it was an irish party, I don't even know who the Celtics are. Come on hunney, not in public!
This is the group of workers on J-Hydes team that made it to Mexico. Katie and Travis could have come but they could not get a passport quick enough. We are just peek a boo's in the back of the picture. oh my gosh, look at what the humidity does to my hair! Yikes! Why are we always in the back? hee hee. We had a great time. Tabatha is the gal with the blonde hair in front. We love her. We were diving in the light blue water way way out there. It was so much fun. I got a little sea sick on the boat going out to the spot and had to concentrate to keep it all down. Once we were under the water it was smooth and peaceful. Oh, here we are- bloop bloop. Playa Del Carma, Mexico On a work trip we won. How lucky are we? Nana and Papa, and Grandma and Grandpa, had the kids for us. Thankyou, Thankyou ,Thankyou! That's me, you can't really tell. But I swear it. What A stud muffin! This is his old high school pose. (As Amanda always says" your a legend in your own mind"!)
Caught you in the middle of blowing a kiss. We miss you Amanda and want you to come home. This is Grand Lake. Gonna be there this weekend opening up the cabin.YEAHHH! Introducing our two evil members of the family. Daisy, black and white, is very docile and does what she is told. She is the best! Knox, grey and white, is the high spirited one and does not listen. He is the cutest thing though, and tough to get mad at. They are evil because they are always escaping our backyard and getting picked up! The backyard, they own! But we love them and they are super fantastic with the kids. We just love Travis- He is always helping us some way or another! Thanks Trav. Let's see if we can out do the size of this puppy this year at Grand Lake. Can't wait to get up there! Thought I would throw this on here just for fun. I am shooting an AK-47 and love it. Thought it was going to push me back alot further than it did. Want to do that one again.
My all-purpose man. He is my best friend!! Always the first one to say I'm sorry and always looking at things from my point of view. He knows how to fix everything.(no joke) HIs whole motto is " work smarter, not harder". got to love that! He is always buying gadgets to make his family more prepared for the worst to happen. BUT DOES HE KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN! I think that sums him up in a nut shell. I know what your thinking, but, HE'S ALREADY TAKEN!
HOLLY
WONDER WOMAN- I think that's all that needs to be said for a mom of 5. I love all kinds of adventure. Anything that get's me out of the norm. If I ran out of gas and had to walk with my kids for 3 miles, I wouldn't mind. I love my bed and pillow and I think my favorite thing is too go to bed and have just me time to read a book. If there was one thing I could change about me would be to have great organizational skills, And have a perfect memory, that would be nice.
Miriam Gail
She is my first, everthing she does is a new experience for me. She is my slave who actually enjoys cleaning, being a second mom, and pleasing mom and dad at all times. She is my perfect child if there is such a thing. Her main goal and desire at age 10 is to get married and have fun with her husband and go to all kinds of places together. She can't wait! She is also homeschooled and wouldn't want it any other way. Her and Jacob are like two peas in a pod. She does love going up to grandma heaths house and having just miriam time
Jacob Benjamin
Jacob has a split personality-he get's it from his dad. His first one is so sweet and tender hearted. He is always asking me what he can do to help me.( I love that one) He is always concerned about others and how they are feeling. Very observant in that area,( again like his dad) His second personality is DEATH. He loves playing battlefield,( a video game) and killing as many people as he can. His favorite position is sniper. He sneaks up on people and just gets them before you even know what has hit you. He'll do that to us in the house too. I HATE IT!!! It is freaky and unnatural. Jhyde just tells me he is honing his skills. He wants to be a pilot at the Air Force Academy when he gets old enough and then become a sniper in the special forces. ( Watch out for him, bad guys!) He knows he has to be really good at math so he is working hard on his study's. He is home schooled and is doing a great job so far. He loves it.
LIVIA Marie
She get's all capital letters because she is Royalty. She should have been born in a castle with a maid who does her hair every morning, who get's her breakfast for her, and picks up after her. When ever she and Miriam play, Miriam is always the one dressing her up like a queen and doing her make-up. She just expects it. But thank goodness she too is very sweet and helps alot. She loves fake nails and loves making Joshua laugh. She has a special connection with him. She takes pride in changing his diapers for me and helping him go to sleep at night. If he wakes up at night, she will be the one to take care of him for me. She is, of course, gorgeous! who wouldn't want to look like her? Confidence just pours out of her. She and Miriam will spend hours getting ready for "The dance" which they make up. They dance in the dark with only candles lit. They will practice for hours.
Joseph Hyde 4th (Joey)
He likes to be called BIG JOEY . He is probably our funniest little shaver. His personality exceeds all of our other clones. His voice is so high pitched that you want to duct tape his mouth shut ,but he is so darn cute you want to squeeze hug the life out of him at the same time. Gosh I don't even know how to describe him. He also is into the superhero action all the time and also into all the gun stuff. He is best buds with Joshua. They play all the time together, since I ignore them while home schooling. Joey loves school and loves doing homework when I will let him. That's wierd. He is a snuggler too. We all love snuggling with joey!
Joshua Wyatt
This little dude is AWESOME. He is our LAST!! WHEW. He is 2 and is constantly fighting bad guys in his mind! If he has any contact with daddy , it's punching him on joshua's level as hard as his little fist will allow. Daddy always plays it up Huge! Joshey is always showing his muscles and loves showing us his hulk fists, and shake at the same time. Or he is flying around the house singing the superman song in one note only.
