Catching Up (Lots of it!)

Michelle cutting some delicious pinapple, Sommers, Jess, and Alicia. The woman were hanging out while the husbands kept an eye on the grill
Jessica made our favorite cake, here is Sommers and Michelle eating it

I was complaining about my dog shedding so much, so Mark brushed her for me! Now that is a nice guy, Michelle has him well trained.

Andi and Edyn in Pepsi's dog crate. So gross if you think about it, but they were having so much fun playing in it

Kemp and Sam, the kids ate outside on the grass

best little buds, Shaydon and Andi

Peek-a-boo Andi

Bailey and Kemper at Settlers Park

They have water at the park, it is really fun but way to far to drive on a regular basis

Some bigger boys were nice and pushed Jake and Kemp on the tire swing

Andi, watching the kids while they were fishing

It was so cute, all the kids kept catching fish, and they were all so excited

Andi at Kami and Ricks house Memorial Day

He looks like he is praying!

Charli and Andi, my camera died right after I took this so I coudn't take anymore pictures the rest of the day.

Kemper trying out his new slip and slide. Which is already broken........I think a garbage bag would be more durable.

Maddux and Kemp play at least once or twice a week

My best friend Jess opening gifts at her baby shower

Sommers and I threw her a shower, but I can't take credit for all the great decorations, Sommers made everything look so awesome.

Jess had a cookies and milk theme, so delicious

Sommers made this stuff herself

Can't wait to meet little Ethan!!

I know this is the longest post ever! I haven't had my computer set up, so all the pictures have just been accumulating. It has been a crazy couple of weeks moving in, and doing stuff with Chad and the kids. We have been busy for sure, but time sure flies!

Busy

It is crazy around here right now. I like to procrastinate and make myself as stressed as possible, it is great fun! We are moving again, and we have to be out in 2 days. I know I will get it all done, but right now you woudn't beleive it if you saw the caos that is my house. We are moving a few miles away to a house my husband built that still hasn't sold. It is just sitting there, and since our lease is up in this house we figured it would be a good idea to move over there. We plan to buy again when our plans, and Chad's job is more secure. We still are not sure where we will end up, hopefull here,but you never know. Chad is working security at a hospital on the weekends, wich leaves his week open for construction, wich is good. His hours are brutal, 3 graveyard shifts in a row.

I broke my toe too, wich is complicating me trying to get aroung easily and pack. And it is a bummer with me training for a marathon. I can be a bit obsessive about running, so maybe it will be good to be forced to take a 2 week break. Or at least that is what I am telling myself over and over again :)

My kids are great, keeping me busy. I will post pictures of my Jessica's baby shower and moving when our computer is up and running. Hopefully we will all survive the rest of the week. You would think I would have this moving thing down by now!!

Camping with the fizers

Andi, Hallie, and Hudson, playing with the toys
Here they are, lounging in their chairs

sister and brother at the hot springs

Hudson was obsessed with playing in his parent's van, it was so cute how he loved that steering wheel. He would play in there for an hour at a time, so adorable.

roasting some hot dogs

Krissy sharing a S'more with Hallie

Those s'mores were delicious!!

I have been so excited to go camping for the first time this year, and finally it was warm enough to go! It was worth the wait, and totally fun. Krissy, Chris, and their two kids came with us. It was a bit chilly at night and early morning, but still great. We went to Anderson Ranch, they have natural hot springs there. It was so peaceful cause there was hardly anyone there, I guess we were the only ones who thought it was warm enough. The kids had so much fun, and played so great. Kemper asked on the way home if we could go back and live there.....forever. I love camping, no doubt about that. But I love my bed, and my tivo, just a bit more! I am glad the Fizer's came, they are a blast, and they always keep us laughing.

Cabelas.......its not just for Dad anymore!

Andie and Kemp trying out one of the camping chairs. Andie found those sunglasses and insisted on wearing them the whole time we were there.
Always checking to see what brother is doing

They loved the tents, and went in every single one and tried them out. Tents are good, but I am really glad we have a trailer, I must admit.

Andie was fascinated with the fish, she could not get enough of them

Some kids might be hesitant around a huge stuffed polar bear, Andie wanted to go in and give him a kiss

This cot was so cool, I want to get one then maybe I would want to camp without our trailer, till I start thinking of how easy it would be for a bear to rip it open and eat me....it could happen!! Chad and Andie where taking a little nap.

Andie inside a duck blind

Tonight we took the kids to Cabelas just for something to do. Chad goes at least once a week, and I know Kemper loves it too. So the girls came along too, and it was so fun. We spent over an hour in there just looking at everything. We might as well have gone to Lagoon.....not quite, but they still had a blast. Then Chad bought some fudge, and I bought some candy and we bribed the kids into leaving finally. It was really hard not to buy crocks for me and the kids, they have so many cute pairs there. They are like 30.00$ a pair, wich is a little crazy for shoes they will grow out of in a few months anyway. So if you are bored on a Saturday night, there is always Cabelas!

Easter Day

Kemper and Maddux after the egg hunt at my parents house

This picture is funny, we were joking about Amy being pregnant, and Kip looked down at her cute belly and said, "you are pregnant?!"

Glad my brother married such an awesome woman

Kemp and Maddie showing us all the candy they got

Andie climbing up the steps my husband redid

The closest thing to a smile I can get out of her when the camera is out

My family at easter dinner

All the kids on the Hessing side posing for easter pictures

Andie with her blasted binki!!!

Aunt Krissy keeping the kids entertained with bubbles

Some of Chad's fam eating and enjoying the great weather

Kenzie holding the newest addition to the family, baby Reese. She looked so adorable, although she wasn't too happy in this picture.

Andie and Dad before Church. This picture was all I had time to take! I have got to do better next year with the family picture thing on easter.

It is so great having both our families together on the holidays. The only thing that is not great some of the time, is having to divide our time to make it to both houses. And having way to much delicious food at both places, and you get too full so you can't enjoy it. But if that is all I have to complain about, I will take it!! We started the day with decorating eggs, then most important of all, we went to church, and remembered the Saviour. Later in the day we headed to Krissy's for our first huge Easter meal. It was great, and the kids had a blast of course. Sadly we had to leave before the key lime pie :( But we spent the rest of the evening at my parent's house. We have an easter egg hunt for the kids, and then one for the adults. Every couple found an egg with 50.00 $ this year! So awesome! Now we have way to much candy, but it was a really great day.

Teyan's Birthday

The girls
Emily was telling Jess how sexy I am.....Lol!

What is a party without Rockband!?

Tom and Alisha brought their adorable little girls, and this is Tom helping Eden with the Wii

Our Partini game. Wich the girls totally won!

This is funny cause I had just hit Tom in the back of the head with one of the balls. I had meant to hit Brett but he ducked! Hope there is no permanent damage :)

Last night was so much fun. We all went out to Goodwood for dinner, and then everyone came back to our house for games and cheesecake. (wich was delicious) We all get pretty crazy when we are together, and we laugh so hard. I am grateful for great friends, that are hilarious as well. And I am glad T is another year older so we can celebrate his Birthday! Happy Birthday!!

Entertainer of the Year!!

How would you even walk? They probably had to dress her on stage during a comercial! The white dress below is soooo much better.
Yes, I am seriously doing another Carrie post!! I wasn't going to, but then she won female vocalist of the year, again. And she won Entertainer of the year. Wich is a huge deal. Only like 7 woman have won this award ever. The last to win was the Dixie Chicks in 2000. It has been almost a completely male catagory. Kenny Chesney has won it 4 years straight, so I was thinking he would take it again. So I was jumping up and down (sad, but true) when she won. Her speech was really sweet, she is still so humble and unasuming. I would post the youtube of her acceptance speech, but I didn't want to come off as obsessive :) She had 4 or 5 dress changes though out the night. I was not feeling that burgandy dress she performed in. It was seriously distracting.......maybe I am the only one who hated the dress, even Carrie makes fashion mistakes I guess. She is still fabulous!
