This morning I was getting ready like usual and Lauren was watching the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and I went to go start my car to get it warmed up. When I turned the key the lights came on like normal and then the car just shutoff. Nothing would happen when I turned the key, so I called Erik and he said it sounded like the battery was dead.. The head lights weren't left on or anything so I am still not sure why it died. I wasn't to concerned because we have 18 hundred vehicles. I then went to find the keys for the Grand Prix and it was a success! I went out to start the Grand Prix (that hasn't been moved for a couple months, and started like a charm) and moved Lauren's car seat from the purple car to this one and ran back to the house and when I went to turn the handle of the door to the house it was locked... I looked through the window and there was Lauren by the door (she had been playing with the handled because she can reach it now and locked it on accident). AHH my keys to the purple car (the one I always drive were in the house with Lauren) so I try really hard to use my super powers and open the door, but it didn't work. Then I was trying to get Lauren to play with the handle somemore and maybe twist it back to unlock and that didn't work. I went to the back door hoping that it was unlocked and it wasn't. I called Erik and said very firmly "How do you open doors with a credit card because Ineed you to tell me how or you have to come home now and unlock the door because Lauren locked the door to the house while I was outside." He was surprisingly very calm and said just chill out and you can't open these doors with credit cards but go to the garage and get a screw driver and go to the back and pry the door open. So I am thinking "yeah right, I am really going to pry the door open" So I run to the garage and find a screwdriver and go to the back door. I start doing what I think is the right thing to do and it was not working! Then Lauren came to the back door because she could hear me russeling around and she started crying. So I was even more frantic and starting prying (come to find out the wrong way) Erik finally said just stop what you are doing and listen to me. So he told me how to pry it open and it opened finally! When I went in the livingroom Lauren was sitting on her chair with a worried look on her face watching T.V. We hugged and chilled for a minute then we had to be on our way! If anyone was watching me they were probably falling over laughing, because I am laughing as I am writing about this:) But we made it through the morning and all is well!

Simple Things..
So I just wanted to write this down so I wouldn't forget (because I do VERY easily)..
The other day I was over at my parents house and My brother Jakes family was over there, he has a little boy Triffin is about a month older than Lauren. They really played together for the first time!! My mom has a play room that is right off of the kitchen and they were in the play room together just having fun all by themselves, and they would come check out what we were doing every once in a while. But it was so nice for them to be content with each other.. Then we went into the computer room because I was on the computer and they were running in and out of the closet laughing at each other. After that Triffin taught Lauren how to climb up on the patio chairs :( bad idea!! j/k.
It was just so sweat to see those two little toddlers playing together. It is so fun to see Lauren growing up, but so sad as well.
Another thing I don't want to forget is when I went to pick up Lauren from day care yesterday, I opened the door and could see her in the livingroom and she was dancing with the other older kids. They were watching a kids movie that encourages them to dance and move around, but it was so funny to see Lauren look at the older kids and then try to do what they were doing! It is crazy how much she is growing up.
Ok.. So I just remembered one more thing... This morning when I dropped Lauren off at daycare her usuall routine is to cling on the me when I try to put her down, so I usually give her to the Joann and she is fine then. But today I tried to put her down and told her to go play with the other girl who was there and she did willingly and when I said goodbye she was still walking away from me and all she did was put her hand up to wave (and still was walking away like "see ya later mom, get out of here finally") I love it that she is happy at daycare, and wants to be there. It is so comforting to me, to have such a good daycare provider and know that my little girl is loved over there! Joann tells me when her husband comes home for lunch Lauren wants his undivided attention and likes when he is there!
This post was more for me, so I won't forget these little moments but I hope you enjoyed them too!

Has it really been that long?
Playing at the park...
Lauren loves to play at the park! She loves to ride the swings and climb all around the play ground!
Play with the dogs...
Everytime we go outside she heads over the the puppies:) She loves to watch them play around and giggles when they give her kisses.
I'm sure I have left a lot out, but I just wanted to get a post in before you all thought that I quit blogging. So hopefully you will hear from me in a week or two!

BIG TIMBER!!
On Sunday July 19th my twin neices Kynlee and Kaya turned 8 years old. I still can't believe it! To celebrate their birthday they decided to keep the tradition alive and go to Big Timber water slides (like they have done in the previous years). I was so lucky to go along with them, and SO SO glad I did!
Here are the Birthday girls. Kynlee is standing and Kaya is chowing down on the pizza :)
I cannot explain how much FUN I had! I have been to Big Splash before, but don't remember it being this fun. For every slide for an adult there is a matching one (that is not as steap) for the younger kids. And then the other two slides holds more than one person so you can go with the younger kids :)
This one is the tube slide (we called it)! You had to walk up a BUNCH of stairs and the slide on the left was for the little kids and the slide on the right was for us! All of the kids had a great time on this slide and the stairs didn't seem to slow them down a bit!
Kysar got flipped around on his stomach, but he thought that was pretty cool !
haha!! You might laugh at this picture because we have two adults and two kids, but the more weight you have... the FASTER you go and it is SO fun!!
This was the other slide you could ride with more than one person. You had to carry a raft up with you, and then you would ride it down (obviously!) This one was short.. but it was fast!
I would like to expand on our week, but I am too tired. I played volleyball for Cowley's days and our team took 2nd! But we had to play 3 full games for the championship because the other team wanted to play like they do in the NBA playoffs were you play best out of 3 GAMES not just best out of 3 single matches. But we had lots of fun, we only lost our last game by one point (that was kind of a bummer) but we had fun!

Camping!
This last weekend Erik, Lauren and I were able to go camping up on the Big Horns! I hadn't been up on the mountain this WHOLE year and so I was really excited! This was Lauren's first trip up to the Mountains and I think that she enjoyed herself :) EXCEPT for the fact that she had diaria. We left our house and had to make a few stops before heading up the mountain and she managed to poop out of 3 outfits before we got to the mountain. I was glad that I packed 7 outfits, because by the end of our camping trip we had only 1 outfit left. But we made it!
We camped with the Mickelson's, they were nice enough to let us camp at their camp spot! And nice enough to cook us food! Nicole was the preparer of the meals and she did a FABULOUS job. We had shishcabobs (I just sounded that one out so excuse the spelling) one night and they were SO good! my camping meal would have been hamburgers and hotdogs, so we are REALLY glad she was the cook!
The walk down (of course) wasn't that bad. This is what we saw when we came around the 50th corner! How beautiful! I have never been down here, and I am so glad I came!
Lauren has always like Uncle Steven :) Probably because he looks so much like her dad! Uncle Steven is always more than happy to hold her.
This picture doesn't do her justice, but her face was filthy! I tried to keep it clean, but then after a while it was just no use! She was having to much fun!

This past weekend was Byron Day's! On Saturday they started off with a parade, Lauren wasn't too sure about it at first but once she got the hang of things she thought it was pretty cool:)
