July 4th

Dear Readers, This post is not about our awesome children or Dave and myself, it is not about the extended family or our friends it is about our dog...BART! we went to freedom has a birthday we took one of our dogs and he had the best time, he got to meet many people who just thought that he was such a good looking dog! he ate it up, so anyway one of the booths was giving out handkerchiefs to the dogs. We got one for him and he seemed to be so excited to wear it so we left it on for the rest of the day. I took it off of him on the 5th and he immediately nosed it as if he was saying put it back on so I put it back on and he again seemed excited. I tried to take it off today he put his head under it like he was telling me put it back on...So I did and after I did he climbed up into my lap (he thinks that my lap is the only place that he fits, but he weighs 90lbs) and nosed my face! So my dog is going to wear a handkerchief forever, but he is cute!

bald babies

This year Marie was diagnosed with breast cancer. It has been hard for all of the family and we each have a different way of coping, my husband shaved his head for his mother. I was at work when he shaved his head so I was not there for this conversation with Levi. "Daddy where did your hair go!?!" "I shaved it off, do you want me to shave yours?" (crying) "No, Where is your hair?!?!" "It'll grow back" Levi was still crying for awhile after the conversation

then the conversation with Ash. "Ash do you want your head shaved?" "Yes". Isaac was first to afraid to do it he thought that he would be embarrassed but he eventually did it and he got a new hat for being such a brave kid!they are so cute!

Almost Summer

The weather is perfect! we are doing more things outside like ridding bikes and walking. And last Monday we decided to go Climbing! I was the not able to climb so I took care of the shoes and the pictures...It has been seven years since I have been up a rock and I hope that by the end of the summer I will be back where I was before! This was the first time that we took our boys (not Ashton) and they did great! although we won't bring both of them ever again. Isaac was first he was a super star! we told him that he needed to tell us how he felt the whole time. he was a little bit scared but he was ready and he did awesome! Levi was up the rock and he didn't even blink an eye when it was time to repel I was impresses and also freaked out of my mind!!! Let me tell how the story began...Dave was home sick from work (he was really really sick) and his brother called and said wanna go climbing. We decided that we should so we called my brother to get my dads climbing gear and he said that he was going to use it so instead of fighting over it we decided to buy our own! after 300 dollars well spent we had to find where mike was and pick him and his girl up. we got to Vedauwoo at 4:30 and the gates were closed so we (not thinking) decided to climb Nautilus we went up Baldwin's it is an easy climb with a HUGE repel (You know the formation that looks like a potato chip) I became the gear holder and I worked my way down and around to take pictures of everyone repelling. First mistake was we took two children. Second Mistake was we started to late. Third mistake we took LEVI! he was great and he only ran off once...but once is way too much at this sport. overall it was a fairly good experience but not soon to be repeated! I cannot wait until I am able to climb (with out my kids)

Mike was not wearing proper shoes this is what they repelled off

Looking for a Job

It has been a good year so far and I have decided to go back to work! It has been 7 years! so any ideas, my skill set includes nothing, changing diapers and wiping boogers. I also can drive, everywhere! I enjoy making dinner. My dislikes are house work ie laundry and dishes. I do not want to babysit anymore I feel that I should gain more work experiences! Let me know what you think remember that I have decided to not Babysit!

Black paint and birdhouses

I was at the store with my mom and when I came home I saw my three boys...They painted a birdhouse and they did a good job, but they stopped painting the birdhouse and they started to paint each other. so bath time after a nice scrub Levi looks like he did when he woke up. and the water in the tub is black! yuck

you can't see how dirty the water is! but the tub itself is dirty too! yet again another day with the Turner family!

What is this!!!!

Nat and I took the boys to Stink lake. I took my camera to teach the boys the basics. Isaac took a picture of this weird thing swimming in the water. So we followed it and finally got a good pic but what is it???...as far as we know is it is a Muskrat, but we don't really know.

era

strep strikes again!!!

Do you ever feel like life is stacked up against you??? Well that is the week that we at the turner house have been having, (starting Friday last week) Dave came home from work on Friday just a mess he was complaining about a sore throat and a fever. I thought to my self “humm self I think that he has strep and sure enough he dose, which means that at least one other person in our house will too come down with strep”. Sure enough someone did and guess who it was…you got it ME I have this amazing ability to get strep even if I think that someone has it! Life has been short of bliss by a few million miles this last 5 days, not only did I get strep I also got some kind of gastric problems! throwing up and sore throats are not a good time!!! So I have been going on 3 days my fever is down to 100 and I am able to dull the pain with Ibuprofen. I feel so bad for the boys they are kind of getting the short end of the stick with mom and dad sick it is hard to keep them on the schedule that they need, and we are not able to play with them as much as usual. they have been spending a lot of time in the yard playing with each other.

The good news is that Ashton is finally potty trained!!!! no more changing diapers!

Isaac is helping around the house more and he got to help David change the oil in the suburban he had a lot of fun!!

Levi just built his first tree house (I was unaware that was what it was until he told me, he threw some barn wood in our tree) he has such a great imagination!
