More Family Gathering Pix

Liam's favorite thing to do is tackle everyone. None of the cousins were understanding the fun of this until Kempton walked up to Liam out of the blue after a few days and said, "Liam I want to tackle you!" Liam's face turned into a huge smile and this is what the boys did the rest of the evening.

How tender is this picture. Best friends for sure!

Great photography Suzette. I love this p;icture. Future college roommates! Way to catch the moment.

I love the kid in the back ground. I think he would be a little dissapointed to see he didn't make the whole picture.

Another great picture Suzette!

Pony Ride. Kempton looks like the cool kid in class.

This is exactly how I picture these two cousins. So sweet. Best friends as well.

Looking at all these picture got me so excited for my children to have such wonderful cousins that come from such amazing families. These relationships will last a life time. Suzette, we can not wait to have your family near. Thank you everyone for visiting.

Party at Our House!!!

Gotta love Grandpa!

"Ride like the wind!" Liam really did say that while he was on the pony. He heard woody say it. We were laughing pretty hard.

Best Friends

We had a mini reunion at our house a week ago. It was a blast. At one point we had 17 people staying at our house. i am so bummed we didn't get a picture of everyone. We will slowly add more pictures. Thank you Summer for the pictures and thank you for making the trip out here. Hope to see you again really soon :)

Fun at the Spingville fair!

I like to bust out my trashy side and enjoy every aspect of the local carnival. I think I had the most fun. Liam rode his first roller coaster along with tons of other rides. I ate some horrible/yummy fair food and as usual, didn't bring my camera. Luckly, my Dad had his with him (as always). Thanks dad. Next year I will let my tatoo hang out (At least it's not a skull... Right Mom and Dad?), wear cut off's, and bring my camera (I guess I would of fit in great 10 years ago).

Naughty, naughty baby!!!

Seriously, you can't wake this girl up...

"Time to start the day at 11am. Aren't I funny?"



Layla is lucky she is so cute. She is very naughty at night. She has been worse then she was as a new born. Not just by a little, by A LOT. We finally resorted to letting her cry it out or, more like play it out. That lasted for 3 nights which she just stayed up all night. She no longer has a voice and slept all day. For the most part, she isn't up screaming, just playing. She decides to get her deep sleep when we all are getting up and ready for the day around 7am. Naughty, naughty, girl. She thinks its funny when I call her that. Good thing she is so huggable. Sweet girl. Any suggestions?

Sweet Sweet Layla

While everyone was here, we had the opportunity to go up to Thanksgiving Point. We went to the petting zoo and gardens. Suzettes Cousin Jenny, took some darling pictures of Layla. She is so talented and has a wonderful camera. What I would give for both these things :) As you can tell from the pics, Layla has a lot of fun making noises with her tongue. It is so cute. This is the cutest baby stage for sure! They stay in one place, smile at everything and are really starting to blossom.

Potty Disclaimer

I bragged to soon. I changed my mind about potty training. He pooped his pants yesterday and we are having a lot visitors this week and I know we will take to many steps backwards. Maybe in a week.. So off to the store for some more diapers. Yes, I know I am a lazy Mom. Whats the joy of having a potty trained child if you have to rush them to the potty every 15 minutes and pull down the pants etc. Keep you posted.

My Sweet Kiddo's

Josh and I are sure Liam looks like the boy from the movie "UP" that just came out.

I love this kid. Isn't he wonderful




This girl has lashes I would be willing to pay good money for.

This is what being a kid is about. Running outside in your race car undies, with race car boots, in the rain. I love making memories like this. Liam loved it. So did we :)


"Should I smile or cry? I will try both!"

I wish I could say we have been busy moving in which is why I haven't taken many pictures. The truth is... we still aren't all the way unpacked. We have LOVED being in this home. From the yard, to the natural light it gets. I also love the open floor plan. Our biggest news however has been potty training. It reallly hasn't been that hard (knock on wood). Liam has had 3 accidents in two weeks. We really haven't had to anything. If you or anyone you know is having potty problems try a pair of Buzz Light Year Undies. They have worked miracles in this home. Mom, sorry they didn't have those when I was 5 years old and still wetting the bed.
More pictures to come. We are having a party at our house all next week. We can't wait to have all the family here. Hopefully we don't all starve. I don't know how to cook for that many people. $5 pizza's might be the ticket all week. As Dwight from the Office once said, "KISS, Keep it simple stupid!"

Pictures

My dad arranged to have a photographer at his house for a gathering this past friday. It was fun to get some pictures. Let me know which ones are keepers. I am so bad a narrowing these things down.
