Tub Loungin

Caught- this cute girl just relaxin' to the max in her tub for a good soak! Love her crazy, hilarious, sweet, beautiful personality

South Fork

So a couple of weeks ago we went with the AWESOME Rameys, and Ahlmanns (and half of the Whalens, we missed you Summer and Pierce) upto South Fork Canyon for a little bit of Nature, Food, and Fun. Lily is kind of Star-struck whenever Conli is around, so she was in heaven all night, as you can see from the above picture. And here are the Mommies, while trying to attempt the impossibe- A group picture of the Kiddos!

My sweet Ella girl, who is always happy when attached at my hip!

My Hotness

The Hi-5 pic. This is Ella's new fav. thing to do everywhere she goes. And Sawyer is so sweet to humor her.

Ah I love those pure blue eyes, with the s'more still on her mouth!

Okay get ready for some crazy kids who would not for the life of them all LOOK in one direction at the same time. But enjoy some scary monsters courtesy of Max, Brynn, and Conli. Some total obliviousness and eating from Lily and Kennedy, and Ella who is watching Sawyer smile cute!

So I did get some cute shots when I just single them out! And Kennedy has the cheese smile perfected!

Pink Ladies

Poor Bubba just wanted to get back to running around and playing

Wow, pretty darn close to everyone looking at the camera

Now get ready for some seriously Funny faces from Miss Lil

Can you just be done yet mom?

Before we left our house she was more than willing to pose for me

I don't know what to call this phase she is in, but she literally struts around the house shaking her hips and poses like this whenever she wants to show me her outfit

So I still haven't perfected the right order of the pictures , so these are the men folk talkin' shop around the fire.

The kids gathered sticks for the fire.

I tried to roast our weanies on a wire hanger that was flailing all over the place

Ah, these little sweeties! This picture just makes me happy inside.

Love these girlies!

The End

Girlfriends (11/09)

In November we went up to Katie's house in Daybreak for some fun lunch with all the girls (Katie, Kristi, Reece, Me, Lily, and Ella). The kids LOVE her little doggie, and it is always so fun to catch up and chat for a couple of hours about life. I'm so glad we've stayed friends since our BYU days and living close by we can actually get together now every once in a while.

Sheryl Visit

I just love when my favorite girl Sheryl pops down for a visit! We have a blast and revert back to college girls and total silliness. I really truly hope she lives here again someday or just closer than on the other side of the country, and my girls want their "Best Friend" Sheryl too! Seriously, Sheryl come live in my basement for real, ok (and bring your Mom too)!!

Lily's Dance Recital (Pink Butterfly)

So last JUNE (I KNOW I'M A BAD BLOGGER) Lily's dance recital for Just Dance was so fun for her! She got to have a pink butterfly costume and danced to Miley Cyrus song "Butterfly Fly Away" from the Hannah Montana Movie (Pink, Butterfly, Dance, Hannah Montana = PURE JOY for this little Girl) She Adores her teacher Miss Tiffany, and is still in her class this year too. While she forgot some of her dance (she told me after it was because she was trying to look for me in the audience) it was really fun to see all her hard work practicing pay off! She just keeps getting better too! I only hope she loves dance as much as I did, and if that's the case we will be having many more recitals for years to come!
