A beautiful....Disaster!

I can make her hair so beautiful, pretty crazy that I can even french braid my one year old's hair but does it last....

This is how my baby girl roles...oh natural and full of food!!!!

20 Pounds!

So here are my kids on the same scale only G is 16 months and T is 9 months but as you can see, they weigh the same. What a tiny little peanut she is. I could gobble them both up, they are so cute!!!

We love going to greenbluff, all times of the year but we really love getting our pumpkins. We know there is a special pumpkin out there with our name on it, we just have to find it among the thousands of others. This is the part we like and taking lots of pictures, eating donuts, sipping apple cider and breathing that crisp cool fresh air. Ahhhhh I love fall!

Well Hello

Doesn't it always seem like we are playing catch up? Well, that's probably because we are, at least the 95% of us that are not perfect and organized and we all know someone in that 5%. Who knows they may have flaws but they sure don't let us see them; therefor are only option is to plop them into that untouchable category of perfection, the one we will never reach. I'm ok with this, I envy them when I look around at my cluttered mess and think, "where do I begin" but I also know I am obviously ok with walking away or leaving the house in a state of chaos. Where as that 5%, they just can't leave it alone until it's done, therefor always cleaning, always picking up etc etc. Ok your thinking but I'm in the 95% and I'm doing that too always cleaning always picking up but at least we can let things go sometimes, like leave the dishes in the sink overnight or the toys out allover the playroom or the laundry unfolded, you get the idea. At least our homes look lived in and are warm and inviting, not the "kids don't touch anything" and you check your pants before you sit down because your afraid to get their couch dirty.

Wow, don't know where that came from I was just going to intro that I'm always a behind blogger and was going to post a few things of summer and stuff...crazy lady!!!
Well bummer I can't get my pictures to up-lode so I'll just have to type and try later, see blogging can be so frustrating and feel like a waist of time.

Little sis turned one in June and started walking about a month before. We celebrated with her cousin and she got her first goose egg on her forehead from a face plant into a paver-stone at the bottom a a very fast slide.

In July we moved and then left for our family reunion in southern Idaho. We drove all night and into the early morning then dad and a few of the uncles, aunts and cousin left for yellow stone to ride horses among the buffalo, had a blast but were ready for bed. We had such a fun time playing with new cousins, fishing, swimming, water balloons, roasting marshmallows, shooting groundhogs, playing horseshoes and eating a giant ice cream sunday we look forward to the next one in two years.

At the end of the month with pass ports in hand we headed to Cardston Alberta Canada for another very extended family reunion, meeting daddy's cousins for the first time. It was fun getting a horse drawn wagon ride around town, jumping on the bouncy toy, riding a wooden horse and learning to lasso, eating homemade sherbet and pull candy, watching a horse being shod and lots of entertainment by talented cousins while we ate and ate and ate. We also learned a lot of fun story's of Lybbert ancestors. On our way home we drove through the beautiful and majestic Glacier National Park, we need to do that again and stay for a few days, it was awesome!!!!

The following weekend the kids and I went with Paca down to Pocatello Idaho for a suprise party for my great uncle, so again another family reunion only just for an afternoon. It was really nice seeing a lot of my extended cousins that I don't get to see near enough while we celebrated the wonderful lives of Jack and Blanch Davis, I think it was his 90th and he's still working as an orthodontist...that is a hard working man! The highlight for the kids was the ginormous slip n' slide.

We had a very busy summer and it just kept going, we were able to go to Silver-wood with great grandma Helen. That is our local amusement park and introduce T to rides. He was scared at first but relaxed a little bit more as the day went on, he did pretty good and little sisen road her first roller coaster as well, a very small one. We were in the kids area all day, height limitations, plus I don't think T was ready for the big rides anyway, maybe next year.

Then of course the end of summer ended with the Kootenai county fair and lots of making of elephant ears, always a blast, we love it!

My 3 Year Old

My little man is showing more Independence than i would like but its also rewarding to see him learning and growing. I love listening to him in the back seat, the only time that he's not chatting away back there is when he's a sleep. He makes us laugh with his made up games and stories. I love when my hands are full doing things I can send him off to play with "Uncle Solo" an imaginary friend he made up. He likes to jump on the trampoline, play in water and once the clothes are wet they come off. He has an infectious laugh and teaches his sister, what more can a mom ask for.

LOVE THEM!!!

I love my kidd-o's so much and I laugh along with them when they play and giggle together. Parenthood brings so much joy and happiness and unconditional love.

It's a bird it's a Plane it's...

"Dunt dunt dunt dah Superman!" T has really, i'm mean really, really gotten into superman lately. It's of course totally cute as he flies around the house and you would be surprised how different superman and buzz fly, totally different stiles.

Here I come to save the day!!!

I'm Superman Mom!

Leo James Lee June 7 1924- March 9 2011

My 86 year old grandpa Past away around 2am this morning. Just 12 hours earlier I was driving to work and that Carrie Underwood song came on the radio "This is My Temporary home" and the third verse really made me think of my grandpa, because we knew the end was close. I just wasn't expecting that 12 hours later he would be gone. Death is always hard because there is always that void in your heart and the earthly absence of that someone but I know grandpa is at peace now and reuniting with all our other loved ones who have past on. He will be sorely missed and eternally loved but he was ready to leave this temporary home.

Leo & Fay Lee

Temporary Home- Carrie Underwood

Little boy, 6 years old
A little too used to bein' alone.
Another new mom and dad,another school,
Another house that'll never be home.
When people ask him how he likes this place...
He looks up and says, with a smile upon his face,

"This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong.
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through.
This is just a stop, on the way to where I'm going.
I'm not afraid because I know this is my
Temporary Home."

Young mom on her own.
She needs a little help, got nowhere to go.
She's lookin' for a job, lookin' for a way out,
Because a half-way house will never be a home.
At night she whispers to her baby girl,
"Someday we'll find our place here in this world."

"This is our temporary home.
It's not where we belong.
Windows and rooms that we're passin' through.
This is just a stop, on the way to where we're going.
I'm not afraid because I know this is our
Temporary Home."

Old man, hospital bed,
The room is filled with people he loves.
And he whispers don't cry for me,
I'll see you all someday.
He looks up and says, "I can see God's face."

"This is my temporary Home
It's not where I belong.
Windows and rooms that I'm passin' through.
This was just a stop,on the way to where I'm going.
I'm not afraid because I know... this was
My temporary home."

This is our temporary home.

He leaves Behind his second wife(Grandma Helen), 4 children, 29 grandchildren and 58 and counting great grandchildren and so many, many more.
