It's Been forever since I wrote

Ok so we have been so busy it seems like this last month, we went thru 4 birthdays in August and made it out and then Kailey started kindergarten and she is loving, she has just become little miss independent!!! Its funny she already has 2 boyfriends and Joey is not happy about it all. Its so hard for him watching his little girl grow up. Joey has just been working, been super busy. Can't believe September is almost up and that my nephew Kayde is going to be 9 soon, agh that freaks me out, god I remember the day he was born like it was yesterday, shit I have got old! Well we are planning on making a trip up to Henry's Lake, one last big fishing trip before all the warm weather goes away cause winter is coming early this year!! BRRRRRRR. I am now a chairman with the Family readindess Group with the national guard and have been busy with that organizing events and doing things to make everything better for the soldiers and their families, we are getting ready to go out to businesses and see if we can get some things set up for them, I am really excited, yes we are expecting a deployment, they just wont say when, cause they aren't 100% sure, I am just hoping even with this pathetic attempt at run for president, either way we go we are in trouble even though I have to say I am leaning more towards john Mccain, yea there are so many things that he doesnt believe in that I dont agree with, one of the biggest things for me is I want a president who will legalize same sex marriage and give them the same rights to everyone else who is married. Its common day discrimination, I know alot of people agree wtih me, I just want whats right for others and of course there is always the abortion topic and I believe in some cases it is the only answer, but I dont think it is the answer to all those girls that go out there screw around get pregnant and use abortion as their birth control, but thats a whole nother rant I could go on for hours and hours!!!! e are looking forward to a weekend with My mother in law and my brother in law Jon in November, I am nervous to meet my mother in law for the first time!!! Ugh scary!!!! Its always nerve wrecking, anyways, life is just going on same as usual, neices and nephews getting better, kaileys baby sister is getting bigger and she is so cute!!!!! Well I will write more later and we are going to try and get some new pics up! Hope all is well for you!

4th of July Island Park Camping Trip

On the 4th of July we got up early, loaded up the Jeep with everything we were going to need for our camping trip. We grabbed the dog and headed over to our friends, Lisa and Keith Skaar. We were leaving at 12pm, or so we thought. After leaving Wal-mart to grab a few last minute things, lol of course I had to buy some clothing item, we all know how I am lol, we finally were headed to their house. We got there when they said at 11:30am and they weren't there. I called Lisa and she said they were still in Ft. Hall getting fireworks and would be there asap. So the waiting begins. Finally they arrive and they have to finish loading up the camper with the last few essentials things that needed to go, the dogs and the dirtbike and hooked up the camper to the Suburban. Well, Lisa's airbags to her suburban decided to stop working, so we spent an hour trying to figure out what to do and then she just said, Screw it, we are going with out them. So we stop at Maverik to fuel up and then Lisa's kids say, "We're hungry!!!", so off to McDonalds we were. While at McDonalds, Lisa's mechanic friend was heading over to look at her airbags, so after he got there and the guys ran to the autopart store we were finally leaving. We drove all the way thru, with a quick stop at Ashton, we were almost to Island Park, when all of a sudden Lisa came to a quick stop, now let me add at this point our dog Baby was sooooooo hot, she was panting and having a hard time, so we kept giving her water and had the AC cranked, but she was not happy, anyways, so we all pull over to the side of the road on top of the hill to IP. Her fuel pump seemed to have gone out! We had no idea what we were going to do and then next thing we knew Lisa had her Suburban started again and we were ready to go. Babydog had finally had enough and just passed out, shes so cute.

After driving and stopping and waiting we finally made it up to Henry's Lake right around 6pm, 4 hours later than me and Joey thought lol, oh well last time they went they didnt get there until 11pm so hey we were doing good. We unloaded and got everything set up, had a quick dinner and then the Skaar family was off to watch the fireworks, but we stayed behind and ended up watching all the big shots blow an easy $5,000 on fireworks all around the lake so we were just fine! Once they got back they told us they missed the fireworks, so Keith took Kaden, Ky and I call her Kiwi out to the street to light some fireworks off. We got the kids to bed and the adults, I don't know how, stayed up talking til about 130am. We finally crawled into bed, WE HAD NO KIDS IN THE CAMPER YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO sooner had I closed my eyes it felt like, Joey was waking me up saying the guys were going fishing, it was 630 UGH!!! So I thought I will fall right back asleep, nope. I was up for the day. So we pile out and the kids wake up and we start the coffee first then breakfast. The guys all lay down thinking they were entitled to sleep while us girls had to watch the kids and cook. Oh boy did they have a rude awakening lol. After eating and getting sunscreen and in the adults cases tanning lotion( BAD BAD BAD IDEA) on , we were set for the day. Joey decided he was going to learn how to ride a dirt bike, thank god we have insurance on him lol. Now he wants one and a motorcycle!! THANKS KEITH!!!!!

When Joey got back from riding we tried to take naps, but the kids just wouldnt let us. ARRGH!! So we decided to go for a ride around the lake on the 4-wheeler and just check things out and get away. I took an amazing picture of our beautiful surroundings.

Later that night after all of us realized how sunburned we were, we started dinner and started to wind down. Heres a picture of Lisa and Keith, you can see how burned they are lol.

Well after we got to sleep and woke up and ate and got things packed up, of course you can read about what we did that afternoon at Earthquake Lake, we finally had everything loaded up and me and Joey were out of there and headed home, so I thought. Joey decided he needed to stop and try fishing lol. So we pulled off the ride at a little river and he gave it a shot no luck. :(

So we drove up and decided to fish the river by Mack's Inn. He got lucky there, fish wise lol ;)

4th of July at the Manwarings

Finally my family was all able to get together and have a good 4th of July BBQ. It was great and very relaxing. We sat around, talked and watched all the kids play. Its amazing to see how big they are all getting and of course how adorable our nieces are. We were lucky enough to get a new niece from Joey's side on July 2nd. Lily Erin Schmidt entered our world and I know she is going to change our lifes for good! She is a little angel and a true miracle for Jon and Nicole. Anyways, here are some photos that we took that night, unfortunately we didnt get everyone, but right now everyone is so focused on those cute little girls!!
