Brighton:)

We LOVE to "watch" Brighton.

(we just play the whole time)

I say "we" cause Soph totally loves him too.

It goes without saying that he is the cutest, chunkiest, most fun baby...

you can't be that fat and not be in that category:)

Ballerina

Picture taken: Sep. 7, 2010

Once upon a time I had a sweet little princess that did adorable tricks, smiled all day, made everyone laugh and was practically perfect in every way.

One day my sweet angel woke up on the wrong side of the crib, she has yet to find the "right" side.

Boys run from her, she scowls from sun up to sun down, she will NOT laugh when you try to make her and she even argues with her momma!

I am embarrassed when she scratches and hits her cousins, I sometimes cry when her attitude is more than I can handle on my own, I make excuses for her poutty little butt as she waddles away from the nice old couple trying to talk to her.

All things considered she is the light of my life.

There are 30 redeeming minutes almost every night just before bed. She is the funniest, cutest, sweetest little girl there ever was.

*fingers crossed* We make it through this stage and live happily ever after...maybe even with Carson still as a friend:)

Can NOT wait for this.

Picture Blogged: Almost 3 years later...cause Christmas is right around the corner.

I can NOT wait for the cold weather to get here this year! Just came across this photo in my old phone picture libabry and wanted to be there so bad I could feel the cold. Codee and I are both so ready for it. In anticipation, we went and bought some new sweaters for our trip to Provo this weekend...I hope we freeze!!!!

Two LONG Awesome Weeks and a MEGA Sleepover!!

"That's right I said MEGA SLEEPOVER! All the children (and 2 extra adults) seen here had a big ol' sleepover at my house last week. It was so fun, I LOVE that my kids have so many cousins!! There were 17 of us total and if you have been in my house you know it doesn't really accomodate that many people, it barely accomodates the 7 that actually live here! Another thing that doesn't accomodate 17 people is mine and Jonis vehicles but we made it work."

*That's right, I stole from Jamie's blog again...deal with it.*

Brandi and her kids moved to California about 7 months ago and this was the first time we had seen them since. They were here for 2 weeks and we made the most out of every second of it! We had all the kids over at Matt and Shenelles the night they got here to surprise them and we didn't leave there until about 1 in the morning. That was pretty much how the next two weeks went, staying up way to late then meeting up again the next day way to early! I think most of the kids are still trying to catch up:-)

Another post by J-Me for V.P. I couldn't resist!

I don't know how these got overlooked! I love love love these pictures of all the girls. My fabulous friend Chelsy took these amazing pictures of Chloe, Claire, and Sophia. It was so fun, the girls got their hair done and pics taken! Good family fun! Thanks Chelsy, we LOVE them!

-it is killing me that these are out of order but I had to have them on my blog and in our book!!

A hi-jacked post of our 4th of July party:)

Joni and I threw a killer Fourth of July party this year, just ask anyone who was there, it was awesome. (We really missed you Karen but it was still awesome and next time you should take us to Puerto Rico with you) We made super fun invitations that looked like firecrackers (3D). Once you opened them there was an invitation in there and some little pop its (we call them poo poos, I don't know who started that but that is what they are in my family) for the kids. I didn't take pictures of them but I think Joni still has one at her house if anyone wants to see it.

We swam in the pool

ate licorice, popcorn, watermelon and salt water taffy

played on the swing set

visited, laughed, and had fun

had a corn on the cob contest, Jason won, and now I know why

We made our own Italian Sodas, super fun and super delicious

Carson REALLY wanted his own

and Carter (I'll be honest, I wasn't positive that was Carter so I asked Billy and he's really not sure either so I'm going to say 90% sure that's Carter) REALLY enjoyed the whip cream on his!!

And last but not least some pictures of the hostest(s) with the mostest(s) and their cute baby girls!

Oh yeah and we played slip n slide baseball, here's Eric and Carson running the bases, it was pretty cute!

FUN FUN FUN!

I love my family and I am (usually) so glad we all live so close together!!

Except Brandi and her family, we miss you guys!
