Family Pictures!!

Here are some great family pics!! ( I think they are great! I love my family!)

This one is just funny of me and Jenna!!

So, Jenna pretty much refused to smile! She still looks so cute though and I can't believe my baby is getting so old!

LOVE!

My beautiful, almost teenage daughter.

Yeah, I'm freaking out....alittle!

I love this picture of her! She looks so tall!

SHANE!! A.K.A.: T So handsome! Getting

ready to get those braces off!!!

I'm in trouble with this guy!!

BRYSON!! A.K.A: Bruce! Haha! So Smiley!

He smiled without teeth because he doesn't have any!

All of his front teeth were pulled to make room! That was

6 plus months ago!! Maybe someday his teeth will make a

surprise appearance!

Man, I love this KID!


I am so thankful for our great friends! I am thankful that he took our family pictures and edited them all! We stole his whole day away! I love how they turned out!!! I am one lucky lady with my beautiful little family!!

Some Halloween!!

Jenna loves her brother! This was taken Halloween day, just felt bad I didn't get Shane in his gangsta costume too!! Mother of the Year award goes to me!!

This is what Madison does instead of trick or treating!! Over~achiever!! I love this girl!

Thanks to my friend Lindsey for loaning us this super cute Lady Bug costume because I am too cheap to buy a costume!!! LOL She looks so cute!!

What up??!?! My gangsta son! Haha! Today was his birthday, the big 8!! More pics to come on that!! Plus his baptism that happens next week!

Hahah! Travis and I Pioneers at the Ward Halloween Party!! We decided we didn't want anyone to know the real "gangsta" us and decided to tone it down a bit!! Hahah! We are so wild! LOL
p.s. where are my pics of SHane you ask? Well he was much to cool to do Halloween festivities with his boring family so we let him go with his friends for the first time. I was a wreck but he proved to be responsible so we will see how next year goes!! My kids are growing up!

We are Gangstas

Hahah! Travis and I are gangsta wannabes!!! We had so much fun with friends last weekend and we decided to let our true colors shine!!!! Seriously, my man is so wonderful! Lucky Lucky ME!

Something new!

Jenna LOVES her Grandpa! I don't blame her, he is the best Grandpa ever!! They came to visit again and parked their big blue bus out in front of our house!! I got texts from my friends saying, "move that bus, move that bus" hahah!! Pretty funny! Travis' parents are golden!

Random Happenings....

Wow!!! It is hard to believe this summer is half way over!!! It pretty much rained the whole month of June, but now we are having some great weather! Windy, but sunny and warm, I WILL TAKE IT!! June was pretty slow for us...the best part of it was when my mom and sister (and her kids) came to visit for a week!! We had so much fun and I am always amazed at how much I laugh when my sister is around, and how well all of our kids get along...I didn't have to break up any fights during the whole week....and we are talking 8 kids!!! My sister and I worked out everyday and she loved the classes that I am taking! My mom built me some awesome shelves (she is the next Bob Vila) and planter box, and a beautiful shelf in Shane's room (we also painted his room, pics to come) It was a busy busy week!! And yes, I cried when they left..not embarrassed to admit those kind of things!
This month is going to be crazy....We went to Yellowstone, Madison has girls camp, we are going to Boise for a week because my mom is retiring and my niece Sara is getting baptized!! This month will go by fast I am sure and today I got a wild hair and decided to potty train Jenna...nobody else was going to do it so I guess I had to.....she just did great...here is hoping to a great day tomorrow!!! I do have a funny story about her that I wanna post......Last week I gave the kids MUG root beer with their dinner...Jenna got some too. I gave her less then 1/4 cup afraid she would spill...she kept coming in for refills..maybe 3 times....all of a sudden she was on the tramp telling me that she wanted her Binky and baby (her most prized possessions) and she was telling me she was sick and wanted to go night night....I was holding her and asked her if she was going to throw up...she said yes so I ran her to the sink...YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE MAN BELCH THAT CAME OUT OF THAT LITTLE GIRL!!! Seriously, it was LOUD AND LONG! I was laughing so hard, especially after she said, "all better mommy" SOooooo FUnny! Well, I finally added some stuff to the blog and I even added Pictures!! Goooooo Jamie!

Our Visit with LIssy!!!

This is my Lissy! I have known her for 14 years! She is 17 now and pretty as ever! She was able to come spend a few days with us and I am soooo happy that she did!! She is so very special to us!! We love you Lissy and can't wait til you come see us again!!!

Yellowstone!!

So, I did a little feet draggin with this Yellowstone trip, but I have to say it was a nice nice nice day!! Yellowstone is beautiful!! The only thing I would change is the amount of time spent in the car!!! We decided that Old Faithful would be our last stop that day and when we got there we only had to wait 5 minutes!!!...then, back to the car for the looooong ride home!!! It was loads of fun to hang with Travis' family!
