Since leaving my cushy job at Extra Space, I have started watching a few kids to soften the blow to our budget. It is a lot of work, but tons of fun. We are so used to living on 2 incomes, that it was a little shocking to go back to one. Tiff has been coming up and helping out so it has been really fun hanging with my sister and my niece and nephew everyday. We only have a few kids, but on Weds and Fridays we have 6 babies!!! It is a blast!! Connor loves it because he always has someone to play with or a baby to hold. He really loves Emma and Owen so he LOVES seeing them every morning. Kelleck and McKay love seeing all the babies when they come home from school and are always holding someone. Here are a couple pictures of the kids.
All the babies: Stone, Kieran, Owen, Emma, Cash and Ashlynn

Owen and StoneOn Friday night we copied my cousin Kimmy's idea of a family movie and camp out(Thanks for the idea Kimmy) We got all our favorite treats and drinks. Laid out our favorite blankets and watch "The Hulk" Then we slept in the family room. Dan didn't make it for the sleep over. He is in his 40's now, so I guess the idea of sleeping on the floor was not enticing. I did sleep in the living room, and found out the hard way that I am not 20 anymore. My body ached in places I didn't know existed. It was tons of fun to watch a movie and hang with my big kids all night. Next time we will have to use an air mattress!!!!
