Sunday fun and realising I'm getting OLD!!!!

The kids were having trouble getting the swing to swing (heaven forbid they push each other) so Papa drug a picnic table over for them to jump off of.....

I think Vanessa was trying to get a running start to go higher!!!

Ok so we all know I'm a complete CHICKEN!!! Seriously I was so scared haha but Vanessa said mommy can't do it she's too scared, so of course I HAD to prove her wrong :) So I stood there trying to convincing myself to jump....took a few minutes....

Finally jumped, I swear I was going to hit my butt on the table, Snookums was there to cheer me on :)

So then I got my nerve back (for a few minutes) and told Sess we should go off together!!!! She looked at me like I was NUTS

This was try #2, first time ummm....table almost tipped over I jumped and Sess bailed on me

I proved I was a BRAVE mom :)

Then of course since mommy went with Sess, Matthew needed his turn....It took a lil convincing for him this would be fun and he wasn't going to DIE

So he climbed up the front of me and sat facing me and screamed like a lil girl when I jumped :)

and then of course decided I was a cool mom :)

Then Sess thought it would be really fun to spin mommy

tighter and tighter

Sicker and sicker mommy got, yeah apparently when you get OLD your stomach doesn't hold up so well anymore!!! My kids laughed so hard at me

Matthew in his own world

We thought we should take a picture incase we had to call an ambulance so they could see how he landed haha :)

OSHA???

It is funny how safety comes into effect when it is grandchildren involved. My dad made a swing for my sister and I for us to play on. OUR swing involved a power pole, ladder and a swing that wouldn't fit under your bootie till you have jumped off this 30 foot ladder free fall then swing out and the swing then finally went under you. Oh did I mention if while you are doing the free fall you don't keep your feet in front of you (like bend them under you like you'd want to) it will result in breaking your foot, which my aunt can reassure you does happen if you don't keep your feet in front of you. Sooo.....Papa made a swing for the grandkids....

This was day one of trying to get the rope around the branch that was a heck of a long ways up that dang tree....

Day 2...yes doesn't this look safe, that would be dad's dump trailor for work a ladder leaned up against the edge of the trailor and then a ladder on the edge of the trailor stretching up to the branch....I said he made the swing safe for the grand kids, not the making of the swing was safe. As mom and I left to go to the store really quick we gave the phone to Matthew (who is 6) and said dial 911 if Papa falls....he giggled

Before the seat was put on the swing the kids had fun playing Tarzan

Finally time to put the seat on, Matthew thought he should be supervising Papa to make sure it all got done correctly

A serious discussion being talked about between Vanessa and Papa while Matthew tests the swing out

Matthew ended up dragging his bootie across the dirt when he was swinging on his tummy

Vanessa patiently watching her brother on the swing waiting for her turn

Can't you see the love between them :)

Crazies...

I have been told a few times and believe it myself, that when my family is happy we tend to take more pictures. I guess this must mean we are REALLY happy :)

Summer time....

Mom has been off work this week on vacation so she has been doing a lil spring cleaning a bit late.....got the back porch cleaned up and the grass mowed and the kids are loving it :)

My highly intelligent daughter

Matthew and Vanessa were playing soccer

With a volleyball that the dogs kept trying to take

Snookums loves that ball so he was keeping an eye on it

Then they changed to frisbee...Matthew didn't have good aim

Snookums trying to carry a ball bigger then him and Lilly standing on top of him

GIRLS can do anything BOYS can do.....

Mom bought Dad a new BBQer for Fathers day....then realised it wouldn't fit in her Bug assembled and said oh Sarah can put it together :) Wait...HUH?!?! Sarah can do WHAT?? Yes I read directions....Sess was home sick with strept throat so she stuck around for I think a whole 3 minutes and then said she was going to go find Nana....

Mom is getting into the document mode and stole the camera....I'm supposed to be the one taking pictures haha not pictures taken of ME!!!

Yes mom I haven't gotten very far from the last 20 minutes you were out here....

Stupid screws...but look, it ACTUALLY is looking like a BBQer :)

Almost done....

TA DA.....and no spare parts either :) I was quite proud of myself

Dad loved it and made us yummy pork chops on it for dinner that night :)

April Fools joke!!!!

I know I normally pretty much just blog pictures of my kids, but today is the first day of life as Sarah Garner :) Yeppers thats right....the hilarious judge after 3 hours of sitting in the court room waiting for my name to be called signed my divorce papers...but it was so funny I have to share with ya'll how it all went down. Those of you knowing me will also see and find the humor in all of this as I did.....

Judge calls me up....after 3 hours of sitting there I so had to use the lil girls room so I'm sorta doing a lil dance up there and I can hear my mom and Arkansas behind me giggling and whispering so I turn around and stick my tongue out at them and then make my typical goofy face (cause the judge was still signing papers from the last person who she so kindly granted there divorce) so then she has me raise my right hand and swear to tell the truth....oh yeah I will :) then she says are you Sarah Heninger wife of Bryan Heninger (thank goodness only for the next few minutes) yep thats me. You were married in Alberta, yep. You both reside in Washington...nope he lives in Canada. Oh are you from there...ummmm (HELL NO) nope. Are you expecting a child? (FREAKIN HELL NO) *eyes bout pop out of my head* judge laughs and I answer NOOOOOOO!!!!! Is your marriage irretrievably broken? (CAN I HEAR A HELL YES) oh yeah it is. :) :) :) ok then, I will let you take the pleasure of letting Bryan know that you are divorced....I will take great pleasure in telling him :) * Sarah does a happy dance as I walk out of the court room* as you can hear the judge in the background laugh and say I think she's a lil bit excited and happy to finally be divorced!!! Have a great weekend Sarah....you too judge and I definitely plan on it.....

Whew rapid weight loss plan!!!! I swear I am still on cloud 9 and don't plan on coming down anytime soon...I really don't see how yesterday could have gotten any better. I got offered a job that I gladly accepted, got signed up for the college classes I will be taking and GOT DIVORCED and have no plans of looking back!!!

Ok so now for the funny evil Sarah to come out!!! So Bryan has had a girlfriend for quite sometime even though he was calling me, texting me and emailing me telling me how much he still loved me and wanted to work things out, I kept reminding him he had a girlfriend to whine to about all this NOT ME!! So I played an April fools joke on him *yes I know its June not April* but ya'll who know me, I just couldn't possibly pass up this last chance of saying SCREW YOU BRYAN!!!

I walk out of the court house laughing jumping up and down and just in the greatest mood. Grab my cell phone and text Bryan haha....Sorry our divorce is not final, it got postponed till September 11 due to you not being a US citizen.....LMAO seriously I was laughing so hard along with my mom and Arkansas. Sitting there celebrating with my 2 favorite people eating the yummiest cake ever....cell phone rings. 403 area code....HUMMM....wonder who that could be?? Click IGNORE button and wait for the message.....speaker phone so everyone can hear. Hi Sarah this is Debbi *the girlfriend* Bryan is too upset right now to talk on the phone he asked me to call you and find out what happened, my number is BLAH BLAH BLAH if you could call me back. LMAO how tacky is that, to have your girlfriend call your ex wife to find out about your divorce....still laughing so hard I'm about to pee my pants I text Bryan back, I got your message but I don't really want to talk to anyone right now, SO not in a good mood *LMAO*

So who knows if he has actually found out that YES WE ARE DIVORCED but I paid the filing fee and was the one who showed up for court oh and was told by him that if I needed anymore papers signed I'd have to sleep with him first and that he was available the following week to let him know when he should come down.....that he deserved my lil April fools joke!!! June 5, 2009 couldn't have been a better day if I had planned it myself!!!!
