Looking good Eva...This girl has had lots of injuries, but I've never seen as much blood as was pouring out her mouth. The neighbors scrubbed off the sidewalks for us as we took care of her! As I was washing blood out of her hair for the 2nd time, I told Chris "I've never had to wash my hair in 34 years to get blood out of it?" Her mouth ended up really cut up and 2 front, permanent teeth were chipped and need to be repaired after the cut heals. LUCKILY, the teeth were not broken off in the jaw, just loose and moved a bit.
The razor scooter is clearly the winner in both of these first day of school pictures, one from 2 years ago.
For those of you who refer to me as "super mom:" It's pretty easy to look "super" when you just skip school shopping all together and make them wear something from their closet. They get an entire new wardrobe each and every season anyways because they are human growth phenomenons. Travis was crabby about this picture and the fact that I didn't get him a haircut until AFTER school today. Oh well, old clothes, old hair. Ha!
Chris and Erika in Vegas!!!! The Heartland Poker Tour had a party in the Hugh Hefner suite. And, since our room somehow went missing, we got to stay here for the night! (Doesn't my husband look so cute in this picture? I think so!)
Desperate Poker Wives: Erika, Kylie and Sara
This probably would've been a cooler picture if I had taken it BEFORE the party and before the garbage was all over.
Boyfriends Todd and Chris ordered room service for breakfast the next morning in the suite while I slept in.
Sara and I drank and sat by the pool most of the vacation. We just went straight from drinking at the pool by one hotel to another one.

I also got to have a fun weekend with my friend from Minot, Ginger, and her daughter Kirby. We finally caved and put in a Baby Einstein for Marie and Kirby to watch while we got ready to go out for the night. Yes, weird, a naked Hanson.
Marie is obsessed with coloring. Unfortunately, she's not particular that there be paper or not. She is the worst color-on-things-kid I have ever had. My walls HAD made it through 3 kids without scribbles on it!
Luke was obsessed with building train tracks this summer. Most of the time, we couldn't even walk in the kitchen without stepping on them because he'd try to make them go from the office to the kitchen. Travis could not handle the simplicity of his boring train tracks and tried to make them much fancier.
Hot rod mi-mi at Grandma Tree's while we were in Vegas.
We had a great trip camping in Aberdeen at Wylie Park with Uncle Adam, Auntie Sheena, Cousin Halle, Grandma Tree and Grandpa Gerry. We loaded all 6 of us into the cab of Clint's pick-up and pulled the motor home. It was so fun.
Halle definitely won the cutest and quietest and best sleeper award for the kiddos.
Grandpa Gerry making breakfast for the troops. (Look at Marie sitting behind him in the booster chair on the ground. Hee, hee.)
Family picture at Story Book Land.
We found out that bikes are a must when camping... which I should've remembered after years of begging dad to take our bikes camping?
OK, so we gave in because I didn't know what to do with them in prime mosquito eating time and they watched a video on the Ipad. Spoiled brats.
This is Luke on the way home from camping, which shows how well sleeping went for camping.
