~KIDS??? WHAT KIDS??

Because of all the rain we have had the grass is really tall right now. It's creepin' up on Drake and when we put him in the middle of it we could barely find him. LOL Then the other 3 jumped in and we almost lost them all. LOL They thought it was pretty funny!!

~A SUMMER EVENING~

We decided to go for a walk the other night so I grabbed the camera before we walked out the door. After I started snapping pictures I realized the girls already had on the pj's...but oh well that's life. I love all the wild flowers out in the fields right now. They are so pretty and refreshing!! The girls are swinging on the old house out here on the property. It makes for some pretty great pictures and I hope to get out there again and get some better shots. Then there is Tom with Toby. He loves his dog!! I like Toby, Tom loves him. LOL

~FRENCH BRAID~

Ok so here it is. Dum Dum Dahh Dum... my first french braid. I have never french braided in my 33 years of life. Crazy I know, and I have 2 daughters and I do their hair all the time. My sister Sheena taught me before she went back to Kentucky. Here is Brinlyn with my first braid. Not bad for never having done it before!! (If ya ask me anyway) LOL

~KING OF THE HILL~

Drake was so cute when I said "Drake let me take your picture" this is what he did. And Brinlyn was out picking wildflowers.

~JUST ONE EVENING~

These are just some pictures at Lois house last week. And one picture of Kelsey and I, taken by Macazlyn. Macazlyn set up the one of her and Brinlyn. They are soooo used to having their pictures taken that they pose themselves and come up things to do and then say "mommy take my picture". It makes me laugh.

~MY LITTLE PRINCESSES~

The girls were dressed matching last week, which I don't do very often, so I got out the camera and played around a little. It was really windy but we got a few shots. Macazlyn is 7 1/2 here and Brinlyn is 5.

~HOUSE~

This is at a home decor store that I really like. They have a St. Bernard that is always there when the store is open. I think he gets his name from being as big as a "House". He was up walking around but by the time I got the kids assembled he decided to sit. They got him from a rescue and are fostering another St. Bernard right now to0. I am NOT a dog person but House isn't slobbery or loud or stinky or crotch sniffing or any of those dog traits I hate. And he is pretty and clean so it is nice to see him when we go there!!!

~DENVER TEMPLE~

While my parents are here they needed to go to the temple so we all loaded up and went together. My girls were really excited because we got to see 2 brides while we were there! They were just in awhhh of that. Then Macazlyn started asking about my wedding dress and where it is and she said she wanted to see it. I told her she can see it but I had it preserved in a box so we can't take it out. I haven't gotten it out to show her yet but she is very excited to see it. Anyway, the kids ran around in the grass and we took pictures and just spent some time as a family. It was a nice afternoon!!! It would have been great to have Angela there and as usual, when we are together, we feel someone is missing...and someone is. We missed you Chad!!

~PART OF THE FAMILY~

I was in Grand Junction, CO for Kiessa's graduation. She is my cousins daughter. We all had a great time visiting and having fun. My cousins Valgene and Lagena were there and my Uncle Gene too. It was so nice to be together!! Miles gave Drake the CARS poster board. It is one of those poster boards that they have at the theater. He LOVED it and it is up on the wall in his room now. Thanks Miles!! We had a big water fight (that I kinda started) that was really fun too!! Never a dull moment with me around...LOL

~MY TWO PRECIOUS BABIES~

Ok, they may not be babies anymore but they are still MY babies! These are pictures I took of the kids in my cousins front yard in Grand Junction, CO a couple of weekends ago. I love how they turned out!! And I love taking pictures of the kids!!

~PUPPIES~

After our last snow storm we went out and checked on all the animals and Tom found puppies? No one knew Hannah was pregnant and it was quite the surprise!! Since Dick and Val were gone we took them under our wing. They are about 3 weeks old in this picture. So cute!!

~PROM 2009~

Tom works at a High School as the Police Officer on duty and he had to go to prom, so we went together. It was a lot of fun!! We had a nice dinner at Maggiano's and I had a great time at prom, seeing all the dresses and chatting. Not to often do you get to go to prom at our age and with your husband. LOL Anyway it was a fun time and it was nice to get dressed up for the night. We went to the after prom party and that is where the "love bug" picture was taken. It was a fun night all in all!!!
