DRESS UP!! AND LAUNDRY ANYONE?

Who would ever think that build a bear clothes would ever fit a 5 month old. Leave it to Mackenzie to try.
This is the way Eli helps me with the laundry. I get so much done!!

FAMILY CAMP OUT

Every year the Ruse Family gets together for a "Family Reunion", this year we went to cabin in Scofield. We had a lot of fun with everyone and the kids had a blast hanging out and having a big sleep out with all the cousins. We rented wave runners on Saturday and went to the lake to have a great day. The kids had a blast with the wave runners and the tube. Ellie was the best because she did not want to get on one at first and then she went on a ride with Cami and Nate and then we couldn't get her off of them.










The kids had fun making S'mores and playing with the black coals from the fire. Camping is all about who can get more dirt on their bodies.

AQUARIUM FUN

The kids were bored one day and driving me crazy, so we called Cami to see how bored they were. To our excitement they were looking for something to do, so after much debate be decided to go the the Aquarium. So after filling their tummys with McDonald's we set off for our adventure. The kids enjoyed looking at all the fish and sea creatures and the best part was the Sting ray pond. You are able to put your hands in and try to touch a sting ray as it glides by. The other exhibit that the kids liked was the eels, they had a board that told about the eels and then there was two buttons, that when you put your fingers on it at the same time it will give you the shock that an eel would give. The kids were trying to get everyone around them to do it.

4TH OF JULY FUN!

We spent the 4th of July at Grandma and Grandpa's house this year. It was a very nice sunny day not to hot this year, we swam and played and had a great BBQ.

LAST DAY OF SCHOOL

We made it to the last day of school for the 2008-2009 school year!! It seems to go by so fast, I swear Riley just started pre-school last year! I heard from a friend that on the last day of her kids school she attacked them with silly string when they get off the bus. So Coy and I looked everywhere that day for silly string. So with the kids having a full day of school we prepared ourselves with 3 bottles of silly string and launched our attack. Here are some pictures of our attack!!
