Oh boy.....HE'S ON THE MOVE!

Well...here we go again! The walking stage. Kash stood on his own and took his first steps!!!! He takes about 4 or 5 steps and then totally biffs it, but it definitely won't belong before he is off and running. And BTW... he is 10 months TODAY!

Joey's Buck

Thanks to Dave and Kerri dogging out on us last minute on Friday, Joey was able to squeeze in one last hunt before the season ended. Sure glad you guys couldn't make it! Hahahaha.....JUST KIDDING !!! We REALLY did miss you guys....however, Joey was super excited to get his buck! For those of you wondering what the "numbers", or "stats" or whatever the heck you call it....he was 26" wide, 18" tall, 3x3 (if that makes any sense....) And Dave and Kerri....WE CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO REALLY GET HERE!!!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!

First, let me apologize...these pictures are a little overdue. I was suppose to get them up Monday night. WHOOPS! So, without further adue.........

THE INVISIBLE PLAYSET APPEARS!!!

We have the baby-butt swing....

The big-butt swing.... (This is the swing that I swing on heheehee)

A classic tire-swing!

THE ROCK WALL.....

Here you can see the John Deere ladder in the background....but the star in this picture is the kid's picnic table!

And a SAND BOX!!!

The super slide! And man do you slide!!! (still not sure what those funny bumps are for at the bottom....because they sure don't slow you down.)

The cabin....sleeps any rotten children...

Has a wrap around deck fully closed in so no rotten children fall off.

The full frontal. View..... Hahahaha!

Here she is in ALL HER GLORY!

Joey and my dad worked literally countless hours for 3 1/2 months to complete this GIANORMOUS playset for the kids! The swings hang from roughly 15 feet in the air for some serious launchage. It has everything that you could ever want in a playset or playhouse. It is rediculous. Seriously. I don't know how else to describe it.

On Monday evening we had a grand opening playhouse party. Kloey got to cut the red ribbon and about 20 kids swarmed the thing and had a blast. We had about 55 people come for a great evening! We grilled hotdogs, played, hungout....it really was a lot of fun! So thanks everyone who was able to come! (For the privacy of our guests the playhouse party pictures are in a password protected gallery...please contact me for the password if you would like to view them).

OTHERWISE.....I THINK YOU NEED TO COME TRY IT OUT YOURSELF!!!! COME ON OVER AND CHECK IT OUT!

(see little Kloey on the deck waving at you?)

Kloey's Birthday *PRINCESS* Party

We had Kloey's 4th birthday party last Friday. We had some family and friends over for cake and ice cream....and of course there were presents! Kloey got showered with all things Barbie, Princess and Mermaid!!! (SPOILED CHILD!) But she loves everything that she got. Thanks everyone, for helping her celebrate her special day!

BTW: I am not a cake decorater. But it sure was yummy!

YELLOWSTONE

Well, I have FINALLY found a few *un-interrupted* minutes to post some images from our Yellowtstone trip that we took the beginning of September. Here are some of my faves! Enjoy!

Hahahaha....I love this picture.

Compliments of my little Photographer in the making, Kloey... She loves to take pictures! Thanks for posing for her Papa Fish!
Don't ever make me mad Shon.....I know where there is a REALLY big cliff! Hahahahhaaha....I am just kidding. However, if I ever get my hands on your goofy yellow glasses, well, let's just say you'll never find them...
And yes, someone had to take the job. Sorry, it just had to be me! (the bubble says; "Stop making fun of my yellow glasses, Jenn!") And I made fun of them ALL weekend. Heehee.

A lovely group pic by a mud pot.... hot pot.... *vent*... they have so many names! Ahhh to pick just one. LOL.

Another great shot by Kloey! Easy there Kash! Gma needs that nose!

This is how we transported Kash all weekend. For the most part he enjoyed it! And it was definitely a lot easier that carrying him in our arms. Not sure if I have ever mentioned this or not....BUT HE IS A CHUNK!

WARNING: Do not approach the elk...
Yeah...I quickly hopped back in the jeep when I saw this bad boy coming!
(And I know I wrote "buffalope" instead of BUFFALO...Kloey says they are called buffa-"lope").

This is classic! Kloey does EVERYTHING just like her daddy! All weekend she wanted her *knockers* (funny thing is, she looks through them backwards!)
This was taken by the first waterfall we saw after entering the park. What a cute picture!


Of course the park was very pretty. I loved it in the evening time when the sun was going down. (and that's when we saw most of the animal too.)

Sunset

OLD FAITHFUL!!! And she was faithful....


And yes, I was on the trip as well.

And last but not least, Kloey got to open her birthday presents from Gma and Papa Fish. Do you think she likes them???!!!!????!!!??

Hope you enjoyed a little of Yellowstone.... We had a very fun time, and we are done having kids.

For now.

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY KLOEY!!!

Today was Kloey's birthday! Our little baby is 4......

We had such a fun day! We got all fancied up, took pictures, went to lunch, had a party, and then went to dinner. She was spoiled rotten with everything Barbie and Mermaid. I have mentioned before to others how I dreaded the day that my floor was covered with naked barbies.... well, that day is here. UGH.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy her birthday pics! (BTW, getting these was like pulling teeth.) I would much rather take pictures of other people's kids!

[cherish] this day...

Wow. This morning was Kloey's first day of pre-school! (or free-school as she call's it!) and no, unfortunately it is not 'free.' LOL!

She had a great time. I didn't cry (saving that for kindergarten) but I was a little heavy hearted! She is growing up SO fast. She will be 4 on the 19th....

I will [cherish] this day.
