A lot has happend in the last two months:)

O.k. So I know I said last time that I was going to be better at this but a lot has happened in the last two months. We have moved to a different house-(no not our own we still haven't built) although we have practically remodeled this whole house and it is pretty cute if I must say so myself:)But like I said we have been pretty busy as you'll find out with the rest of my blog. I've tried to catch up with the last two months and that's just the highlights that I remembered to bring my camera to.

Sulfur Creek July 1, 2009

The Moms

Marie, Steph and Millie

The kidsToday was a perfect day to play in the water. We stopped at subway and picked up sandwiches for a little picnic and then headed to the park to play in Sulfur Creek with the kiddo's

The waters not very deep so the kids can run around and splash and play without too much worry for the wee ones:)

Sawyer looks like he's up to something- better watch out or he'll tip ya over:)

This is the only picture I got of Laine because my card was full, but Millie took more so I'll have to get them from her. It was such a fun day and the kids had a blast:)!!!

Let it Rain! Let it Rain! Let it Rain!Last Friday it rained so hard here the streets were literally flooded.

The kids had lots of fun running in the puddles. They couldn't believe I was letting them do it! They played until they were too cold to move:)

Fathers Day 2009For Fathers Day we decided after church to take a little picnic to Bryce Canyon it was so pretty and tons of fun:)

Warning Crazy Kids!!! My kids crack me up- they are so much fun a little out of control but I wouldn't change them for anything:)

O.K. so freaking out a bit with all the cliffs and ledges!!!

Notice no pants on Sawyer- you'd think that I would learn by my third kid to pack an extra pair of pant naw we'll just go full diaper:)

Brando, Richard and Talmage, Laine and Sawyer.

Brandon is the best husband and the greatest Dad I could ever ask for my children. He is so good to help and play and spend as much of his free time with them that he can. I am so grateful that I have a husband that values being a husband and Dad above all else. He is the most unselfish person I know, I love him soo much! Happy Fathers Day you're the best!!!

Girls Camp June 2009

This is my first year doing girls camp with Thurber Ward- I've been in Y.W. for over two years but last year we did the trek so we missed camp. The girls are awesome and it was sooo much fun. There was such a great spirit up there and you get to know the girls on a much deeper level. I love Young Women's and all the girls and leaders I work with, it is seriously one of the busiest, best most fulfilling callings I've ever had! Thurber Ward Girls Rock!!!!!!

First camp out of the yearBrando and his Dad doing one of the things they love cooking out doors.

We took a rainy hike to a little pond

Laine waiting to get her picture taken with a real princess ballerina. Talmage didn't love this one quite as much as Laine Bug:)

Rock Concert at our house!!Dayton came and stayed at our house for a few days after school got out. The kids had lots of fun playing. They came upstairs one day and told me they had a show for me and they put on a "Rock Concert" it was awesome. Sawyer and Brando were in the crowd cheering them on!

This picture is a little out of order but after they saw the snake which is the next picture Talmage is freaking out saying "This is serious Mom we shouldn't ever get close to a snake because we don't know if it's poisonous or not" He was not loving that all the other kids were trying to chase and pick it up:)

Snake!!!

Ms. Davis let the kids get off the path and go under the culvert. Tal thought that was pretty cool:)

Wellness Works Marithon 2009

Hurray for my kids and Brando they were such good sports and did the Marathon last Saturday. It was so cold but there was still a really good turn out. I had to help set up and do registrations so Brando took the kids .All bundled up ready to go. Laine did walk some but it was too cold she needed the blanket:)
Talmage pushing the stroller what a strong boy!! Dude did you get your tickets? HA HA!!

At the finish line they had hot chocolate and Gatorade for all who participated. Talmage took first in his age- he was the only one his age but who cares, just goes to show his awesomeness for going:)

Sawyer got one last present on his actual B-day and it was books:) This bag has made its way around my family it's kind-of tradition to pass it on to the next birthday person. It will be a sad day when the bag makes it's final round:) But thats not for a long time it's still in mint condition.

Just a cute picture:)

Birthday Party!!!

We had a Birthday Party for Laine, Sawyer and Anya at our house on March 28th. Sawyers Birthday is April 3rd and Laine's Birthday is April 12th(Easter this year) so we had to plan a party when everyone could make it! April is a pretty busy month for everyone:)Sawyer got lots of cars, balls and a basketball hoop and of course cloths-he doesn't really care about clothes but I love them!!
Slam Dunk!!

And he shoots and he scores! The crowd goes wild!!!!!!

The first present he opened and it was hard to get him to move on to the next one-He wanted to play!!

Laine got footy Jammies from

Aunt Lala (she has wanted them forever, she tries to

wear Sawyers and they're a little snug) Thanks Aunt Lala.

Unlike Sawyer Laine is all about the clothes!!! She loves them and to prove it she changes her outfit about three times a day or more!!

Her new hat with a pink flower Love It!!!!!!

All the Birthday monkeys waiting to open presents!

Sawyer wanted a ball cake so here's a bunch. Talmage was great at helping Sawyer blow out his candles.

Laine wanted to have a Dora cake so this is Dora's flower garden.(I'm not that great at the cake thing so Dora was a little out of my field:)).

I know they all had a good time and thank you everyone that came to celebrate their special days with them and thanks for the gifts very nice of you all and the kids love them!!
