I love this picture of the kids. They are on a Packer and Cali age treasure hunt. They are racing back to Uncle Pete with the next clue. I’m ready for more vacation…

We’ve been home for two weeks now and it was a rough transition. Last week was full of whining and crying kids and a tired mom and a still not put back together house. I came home from vacation thinking that it would be nice to relax and chill most of the week. Catch up on sleep and just enjoy being home. My plan backfired. We had fun but I was bombarded with whining. Soo… this week I laid down the law. We are back on our chore charts and whininess is being rewarded quickly with timeouts!!! Our week was much better. My kids need rules and structure. They really behave better that way. The kids really started behaving when Ben threatened to throw any toys he finds out of place into a big box and keep them or sell them!

I just got some more pictures from Vacation!

We loved having Grandpa take us all on tube rides!!

Can you believe Benji went in the tube? this is a great tube to learn IN.

LOVE MY FAMILY

We spent a morning at The Farm! Our kids are the perfect age for that. I loved watching them interact with the animals.

Before we went to the Condo’s we spent time with Rick and Jen and their family. Rick is Ben’s only sibling that doesn’t live close to us in Utah so we really valued that time with them. They were awesome hosts. The kids were curious about these new cousins and they all jumped in like they were long time friends.

so many good memories captured
