I love my family

We took some pictures of our family today because it was the first time in a long time that I got everyone ready.... (we were heading out for a party) I love that this shows how beautiful Elizabeth's blue eye's are!
Alexis has such great hair... I have to say I am a little jealous! I have never been able to hold a curl in my hair, and sadly, Elizabeth and Brytlee both take after me.
Brytlee wanted MOMMA so she wasn't doing so well in the pictures.
Alexis was finding all sorts of fun poses for the pictures....



I look like a dork, but my girls are just so stink'n cute! I love these girls!!!! I am wearing the very cute outfit my honey gave me for my birthday this year... but you can't really see it very well...
I tried to curl Brytlee's hair flipped up, and it didn't last very long. But she looks so cute! I can't believe how blond she is. I have people ask me all the time, "how do your girls have blonde hair when your hair is so dark"? Well, I was sorta blond when I was little, and Ryan is still a dirty blond in a way. And I do have a few blonde's in my family.

Ryan is such a great sport. I love to get pictures with our kids, so they can look back and see us together as a family. I love the pictures that I have with my parents, and will always treasure them. I hope our kids will feel the same way.

Temple trip

I was able to go to the Twin Falls Temple this past Tuesday with our Young Women and Men groups. It was a lot of fun, and such a beautiful temple.
My group went to Applebee's after the temple and we had a little to much fun and laughed till our tummy's hurt...
This was a boy that the two girls in our group were checking out and thought he was so cute!!!! So I went and found him, and had him come and sit with them for a picture! He ended up getting there numbers and coming back to talk to them a couple of times. It was funny because we had one boy with us, and he was sitting with these two girls, and every time this boy would walk by.... he would whistle at him.... and he figured it out that it wasn't the girls.... (awkward?)
I was trying out the GOT MILK, but ended up being a dork
but try try again, and I still look like a dork!
We didn't get home until 1:00 that night, so all the kiddo's were sleeping! OHhhhhhhhh how cute!

Breaking Dawn

I just finished the new Stephanie Myer book and have to give it two huge thumbs up! I couldn't put it down, and can't stop thinking about it! I think she is such a great writer and have loved all of her books, and am starting into the Host, which is a little harder to get into, but is just as good as the rest of her books!
So now that I am done reading this book.... I really need to go and clean my house! I have put picking up my book more then toys the last two days.... and you can tell!
Anyway, if you have not read any of her books, and want to find something you can really get into... go buy the set, and enjoy them... they are soooooooooo good!

Rodeo Weekend

We had such a fun weekend! I was so excited to have my family come and stay with me this weekend, and was hoping to have everyone come but who could blame them for wanting to stay away from sick kids? So it was Annette and her family, and my Dad and Mom. We went to the Carnival that they have here, and it was such a great time!


This is my little nephew and he was so funny on this ride. He made this face every time he came around and saw us!


I love Annette's face in this picture


I went on this ride three times in a row, and then wanted to barf. I am just not as good on rides as I used to be. I did my best and went on a lot. But I was so sick after it

Alexis, Elizabeth, and Conner went on this ride seven times..... They loved it and never got sick!
Summer
Conner
My parents brought there camper and camped out in the back yard!
They are so cute! I love my parents so much, and think they are the best two people in the world. They would do anything for me and my family, and are always doing things to help us. They are so much fun, and I am so glad they came and stayed with us. My kids had so much fun and stayed up till one every night.....
We also went to a Circus and rode the Elephants... we forgot our camera and had to buy a disposable one. But it was a lot of fun.
That night we went to Olive Garden, and then went to Walmart for the Stephanie Myer book to come out at midnight! That was really funny to watch all the people dive for a book and then run in line to buy them.
This is Annette's cute family, and I just love her kids as if they were my own! They are such great kids, and so sweet! Thank you for coming and staying with us, and I hope you come again soon! I love you

Swimming

We went swimming with the Young Women in our ward yesterday, and it was so much fun! I was able to take Alexis and Elizabeth with me, and that made them feel extra cool to go with a bunch of teen girls....

We all loved the water slide and went down many, many times.
Alexis was feeling really brave and thought she could jump from the high board, but when she got to the top....
She decided to climb back down!
This is me going of the diving board.... I was going for a great photo, and went straight out and was trying to look like I was flying through the air.....
and then didn't really notice how much time I had and did a huge belly flop..... and she missed the picture.... all of that pain for nothing. When I came out of the water I could her everyone going OHHHHH..... I felt really cool.
I had my eyes open during my belly flop, and I have to say they stung for a little while, and my face was really red....
The girls got a snow cone, and they were able to put on their own flavoring.... so Alexis put on every single kind, and it was 99.9% syrup, and 1% snow.... she was in heaven.
Alexis did so well on the diving board
This is a cool picture I took of one of our Young women...


This is Elizabeth's favorite Babysitters in the world. They are such sweet girls, and my girls all just love them.


Elizabeth is usually not to brave in the water, but she decided she didn't want to wear a floaty, and she was going under the water and opening her eye's and swimming like a little mermaid....
This is one of my new swim suits I thought I would show of, because I think it is so cute.... I got it from Angie Johnson... she sells them now (modbe)
It was so funny to go to a swim party and see her there.
