To Blog or Not to Blog...That is the ?

I have recently heard about some horrible things happening to parents who innocently printed pictures of their children and the worker printing those pictures turned them in because those pictures had some of their kids private parts. Long story short their kids were taken away for a month while they were being investigated. HORRIBLE HUH!! They said that the result would have been much worse if the pictures would have been on the internet instead of printed. Who hasn't taken a picture of a nasty diaper or of their kid playing in the bath. We all try and cut out all of the parts but it doesn't always necessarily happen...
Besides that incident I have been considering not blogging just because I never keep up on it and it has become almost a chore instead of enjoyment. I love keeping in touch with everybody but is it really worth the risk? I am heavily considering getting my last couple years of blogging printed into a book and then just dedicating more time to my digital scrapbooking instead of blogging.

If any of you have an opinion or a great place to get my blog printed please let me know.

A Few of Our Favorite Things to Do While Hanging Out..

My girls really like just hang around our house. Here are a few of the common events going on at our house. Sorry for the ants video, I selected the wrong one and didn't notice until after and it takes so long to upload videos I didn't have the heart just to erase it. At least my girls like collecting bugs so it still fits.

Dancing and Singing, ALWAYS


ANTS- can you see them?



Playing on the swing set


Being a cheeseball and disagreeing with mom



Once again playing on the swing set (don't worry nobody was harmed in this video)

Bear Lake Experiences

We finally talked Addy into letting grandpa take her for a ride in the tube

Addy and Rylee loved playing in the tube on the beach with their cousin Bensen

Addy learned how to make sand angels

Rylee learned how to fall in the sand

Take a look

I have created a TON of new bands because I recently discovered an awesome company to get more beads from. Take a look, my link is on the side (Keisel Kreations). Here are a few of my favorites...

Host a Party!

It's getting to be that time of year. . . boutiques, parties, & fun. Also- starting to think about Christmas ( I know it is disgusting to say).
Anyway, let me know if you are interested in having an open house. It is super easy, you open your house :) and I do the rest. I get you invitations, provide my own tables and usually bring my watches, hair bows, wooden crafts, and I can even bring my stuff to etch casserole dishes (or whatever you want) on the spot. I also have a friend that does super cute earrings. We have actually started to work together to get some matching sets that are way cute.
You get some free stuff and a great discount!

Most of all. . . it is fun to just get together and talk!

Always doing something

Rylee seems to be always doing something that results in her getting hurt or in trouble. Yesterday, I got her out of the bath and put on her diaper. Then I went to get her sister out of the bath. As I was sitting there talking to Addy, Rylee followed me into the bathroom carrying her "baby" (her cabbage patch baby doll). It took her no time at all to throw her doll into the bath. I hurried and grabbed the baby out and Rylee started to cry because I took the baby out. So I quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped her baby up just like I do Rylee after her bath and handed her the baby. She was satisfied and walked into her room carrrying the doll saying "diaper, diaper, diaper." (Acuatually ipper, ipper, ipper)

This was for Natalie, thanks for the cabbage patch dolls at each of my girls first birthdays. They both still play with them all the time. Rylee's is very nice and clean and Addyson's has lipstick all over it that I can't get off because about a year and a half ago she was really quiet so I went to find her and she was "putting makeup on" for her baby (literally). THANKS! If you have a girl I might have to carry on the tradition.

Better late than never. . . Bear Lake

The last week in June we went to Bear Lake with Bryan's family, it was a ton of fun. We stayed at the KOA in Garden City. The KOA was an awesome place to stay. They had flush toilets, showers, cabins or campsites, a pool, mini golf, ping pong, pool, hay rides, and a little convenience store. This is the cabin that my family stayed in.

Addy loved hanging out with her Aunt Alisha, she thought that she was as old as Alisha.
This is her VERY mature aunt teaching her how to walk and dance like a chicken. She also taught her how to walk like a gangly looking dinosaur!

The delightful "hayride" went around the campground. It was actually lots of fun. They even stopped and asked historical questions about Bear Lake and gave away candy if you knew the answers.

We had fun playing at the park

Such an accomplishment, Addy is scared of heights.

We had fun playing mini golf. Addy tried hard to do her best, if she didn't think her best was good enough she would pick up her ball and put it where she wanted it. In the mean time Rylee was picking up every one elses golf balls and putting them in the hole for us. I ended up with many "hole-in-ones".

Grandma Keisel helping Rylee

We were each in charge of decorating a hiking stick. I think that Addyson's turned out the best. Both girls had a TON of fun painting them although Rylee's jelly shoes still have green paint on them. Mine was also pretty amazing, I have googly eyes all over my stick because it is my "all seeing" stick. Just holler if you need to know your future.

All of the pictures from the beach (including my gigantic sand turtle) are still with Bryan's parents because of course I forgot to take my camera! I will try and post them later.

Thanks again Grandma and Grandpa Keisel, this trip was a lot of fun. Our whole family really enjoyed it.
