Yarrrrr, and all that....

As it is National Talk Like A Pirate Day, I will take the time to promote an RPG game that we play online called YoHoHo Puzzle Pirates. It is really fun and combines a lot of little puzzle games into an RPG where you play a pirate. You can join a crew, go pillaging on ships, hunt for sea monsters in atlantis and even buy houses, pets and clothing to customize your pirate. If you check it out, look for Rustinsmommy. That's me. =)

My New Friend

So I stepped outside to get the mail today and I saw this.

This spider is probably about 3/4" to an inch across not counting the legs! I hate spiders but I think this one has lived her a while without bothering me. We also have hobo spiders around here. Hopefully this one eats them.

And to counter the ugly, here is a picture of cuteness.

My Grandma passed away last week so my sister came up for the funeral. She and her little boy stayed with us for a few days. Karsten is almost 2 so he and Tait had fun playing together.

County Fair

We went to the Fair last weekend and I never got around to posting pictures from it. Here they are now.



I don't know why Rustin isn't in this picture. He must have been on a ride.


This is the barrel of monkeys at the end of the funhouse ride.



Beep Beep! They loved these cars and the little button that was the horn.


MMMM! Tait gets the leftover cotton candy. I was surprised the kids didn't really love the cotton candy. In fact Jeshua hated it.


Post cotton candy stickiness.

Welcome To The World, Kyler!

So My sister-in-law had her baby yesterday. He is sooo cute! He looks a lot like his mom. He joins an older brother and 7 cousins who are all boys. Someone in this family needs to have a girl!

Here are some pictures of when we went to see him last night.

The boys were excited to see their new cousin, but the tv next door was more interesting than holding the baby.

I got to hold him for a long time. And no, I don't have baby fever now! =p

Visible Grace Garage Sale

My friend is heading this up and wants us to invite anyone and everyone to come. So, come shop for a good cause!

4th of July

Here are some pictures from the 4th. I was going to take some of the fireworks and forgot so you just get one of the kids playing in the sprinkler and watching the parade.

Tait loves the water!

Hayden loves the candy.

Here is Hayden and Jeshua running threw the sprinkler.

And this is the water balloon fight. It was so hot everyone was glad to get soaked.

Yay My Pictures Work Again!

I haven't been blogging much lately as I like to add pictures and I couldn't get my pictures to download to my computer. Well I finally fixed the problem so now I can post things again.
And by special request from Ashby I will tell you about the trip we took to see my sister.
It was really fun to be able to hang out with my sister and her family. She has a little boy, Karsten, who is about 1 1/2 and he is so cute! I got to huggle him all week so I didn't have to miss my kids too much.
We went to the jellybelly factory while we were there. It was really fun to see how they make the jellybeans. And it smelled so good when we walked in . They make you wear paper hats for the tour which you can see Jerek loved wearing.

And here is the picture spot with Mr. Jellybelly. Karsten was afraid Mr. Jellybelly and wouldn't sit for a picture.

The best part of the tour was the FREE SAMPLES! We bought some called belly flops that are the ones that are not the right shape and such. They came in a 2 pound bag. We bought 2 bags and we ended up eating them all before the week was up. That's right 4 pounds of jellybeans in about 4 days.

So...Yeah... that was out trip.
