Five Fry's: Life of Fry

This is what Sunday afternoon in our van looks like!

Mason has the best Sunbeam teacher. She goes above and beyond every.single.week. He learned about pioneers and got a bandana and they made covered wagons. His teachers name is Sister Mitchell, but when he says it is sounds like "Shit your Mitchell". We have been practicing the right way (for 8 months now), but unless you remind him or help him he goes back to the old way.

Cocoa keeps us company during breakfast. lunch and dinner

I am a country girl. I love the wide open spaces and living in town drives me crazy! I feel claustrophobic. My girlfriend Chelsea and I had had several discussions about whether or not Idaho Falls was a big city. I told her it was, she however disagreed with me (she's from Denver, don't hold it against her, lol). I was headed to work one morning and got stuck behind these. I had to take a picture, swallow my pride and send this to her. It may not be a big city to anyone else, but to me it is. One day I will have my wide open spaces but for now I will put on my big girl panties and deal with it. ; )

Date Night/Ward Chapel Session

(not sure what the streak on the side of my head is. I promise I am not going that gray yet!)

The kids got into the mud and grandmas!

I took Mason to meet his new preschool teacher and she spoiled him! He got a name tag, sunglasses and suckers, lots of them. Her name is Onda K. and she was actually one of my kindergarten teachers years ago (I won't say how many!)

Some of our friends had a huge dirt pile in their front yard so I took Liz's idea from when she did it to us, but on a march larger scale. I had Cody build it for me. It's over 3 ft by a little over 5ft. We waited until around 11pm because we really didn't want anyone to see us walking down the street packing a 3x5ft cross. I was laughing as I was pushing it into the dirt pile and then the street light right by us came on, but we didn't get caught and we even got a picture.

She won't wear anything except dresses and "dancing clothes" lately

Chloe being a "zombie".

She was following me around the store the other day with her arm like this making zombie noises. Then she said, "I'm a zombie, I'm going to eat your brains" and then she started singing "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons. You wouldn't know she had brothers.

Chloe, Gavin and Ryver

The kids ran the bases after my last softball game of the season

Mason, Chloe, Gavin and Ryver

My kids have adopted our neighbor girl Keyara as their big sister. They play together all the time. They about went crazy the week she was at girls camp and in Boise

Somebody learned how to do his own buttons!

Love this picture

Chloe impersonating Corey Hart and wearing her Sunglasses at Night

Mason had been quiet for awhile so I went to see what mischief he was into, but was pleasantly surprised when I found him reading a book. I love that my kids love books

August has been one big long rainstorm. Our streets have flooded a few times. One night after scouts I made Cody take us "puddle busting" in his truck. We all loved it!! The top picture is the road, but it looks like a big lake

Another huge rainstorm. Cody was proud of himself for watering my hanging basket for me.

Our street after the initial down pour that lasted well over 20 minutes with thunder and lightening.

I loved both of these and couldn't narrow it down

A few of us mom's got together and had lunch together with all of our kids. It will be fun to look at this in a few years and see how much all of them have changed.

Gavin's hair. Random I know, but it's the little things I don't want to forget. This doesn't really show all the colors, but his hair has brown, blonde, white and red in it
