I bet you.......

This is what you get when you lose a bet or lose at cards with Mackenzie.

This is Eric's "STOP TAKING PICTURES" face!

She so has him wrapped around her little finger!!! lol

Mackenzie's dance performance

For those of you who could not make it to Mackenzie's dance recital (that would be all of you), she came home and taught her brothers the dance and she got them to perform the dance for you. (check out the post below!) I hope you all enjoy your Christmas, hip hop style!!! btw, go Elf Yourself!!!!! ;)

That's all for now!! :)

Feels like forever!

It feels like forever since I have posted anything. School has started, Eric goes to work, I babysit and it's cold out. That is our lives these days. We are ready for halloween, Thanksgiving is on it's way and Christmas is just around the corner!!! Anyways, today is Blake's birthday. We now officially have two 7 year old boys in the house! Eric is working swings this week, so we were able to check Blake out of school and take him to lunch today. I took the camera but of course forgot to take pictures. After we ate, we still had time before Blake needed to be back to school so we came home and did exactly what he LOVES to do. We played video games!! Then after school we had cake and opened presents. I asked him if he felt a year older. He said, "Kind of, but I still feel short!"

Our 3 boys!





This is one of the 3 toddlers I spend my days with. She is a cheese ball!

Me and the birthday boy!

The kids decided they wanted to rake the leaves in our yard and have Blake jump into them. (if you notice, it's the same tree and the same pile of leaves, only the leaves are in a different spot in each picture. They found a piece of flat wood with 2 nails sticking out of it and tied a jump rope to the nails and they were pulling the leaves around the yard!) Boys will be boys!!!

My sweet (homemade) halloween decorations!Such a cheese ball

Dad and birthday boy Playing video games. I play the original nintendo. It's what I know how to play! lol The cutest cake I have ever made! I am a LITTLE proud!!! :)

Happy Birthday Blakey boy!!! We love you!! ♥

"I do"

Some of you might remember my brother's girlfriend Jadie, who is a die hard UofU fan who decided to play a joke on my husband who happens to be a die hard BYU fan.

Meet Jadie

Remember the prank on our van?




Well, my brother and Jadie decided to do this

So our die hard BYU fan of a family decided to "dress up" for the wedding!

The kids were pretty excited to go to their wedding dress in their BYU shirts (ok, I was ,too)

Anyways, here is a picture of their happy little family and welcome to the family Jadie, Jaden and Jack!

1st Day of School

Well, once again another year has passed and the kids are all a year older!!! :) Here are some pictures of our babes a year older!!

One of our older babes

Another one of our older babes.

(he was TOTALLY embarassed I took his picture! I am sure he loved it when I kissed him and told him to have a good day!) I then told him he can't be embarassed yet. It's only the first day of 4th grade. He has his whole life of embarassment yet to come!

Our younger babes!

All of our babes!

We have been a little busy.....

What would summer be without lots of fun???? We have been busy the past few months. I signed the kids up to go to a 4H week camp just so they would have something to do. They had lots of fun. They all got ribbons and they get $3 for every ribbon they won.

This is the blanket Coleman made at the 4H camp. He is very proud. (And so I am!)

Mackenzie won the biggest ribbon (I am not really sure why) but hey, I think it should be worth at least $1o!! (they don't get their money until Sept.)

They all learned how to do outdoor cooking. This is Blake's poster. He is cooking cinamon apples.

Grant is roasting marshmellows. lol

This is a picture of the quilt Coleman made

My nephew Byron stayed with us and went to the camp. His picture is of his family making a fire

Mackenzie made bacon and eggs

We took the kids boating at Palisades Reservoir, and the kids got all excited to show off their outdoor cooking skills that they learned and they made us tin foil dinners. Eric and I decided that they didn't pay much attention during this lesson because they ALL burnt dinner.

I guess you get this picture twice!

They LOVED the tube! I think that is what we did most of the time!

Blake and Coleman

Eric is a pro!

I am a pro in training! Yes, that is me out there!

Then we got the hot dog out and they LOVED that just as much as the tube

Our boys!

Our captain! (I have a little crush on him!)

Coleman jumping in

Eric...he is pretty much good at anything he does!

Blake jumpin'

Mackenzie giving it a try

Everyone made it look so fun, I couldn't resist!

I even rode the hot dog with Coleman.

Coleman and Blake. If you were wondering, Blake was pretending he was riding a Bull

The Kiddio Rodeo. Coleman riding our friends pony

Mackenzie and Shalee riding Shalee's horse around the fair grounds. Most of us would ride bikes, but thats not how they do it here in Idaho! :)

Grant entered the pie eating contest. He said it wasn't as easy as he thought it would be. He didn't win.

Blake and Coleman waiting for their turn to chase a pig. If they get the ribbon off it's tail, they win $5.

Someone else won the $5

And then of course Mackenzie is either dressing the boys up in her clothes (I sooooo want to post those pictures, but I better not), or she is throwing a party. This is a re accuring event at our house. I tried posting a video of us at this specific party, but I couldn't get it to upload.

Speaking of Mackenzie, she has wanted to get her ears pierced for the longest time but couldn't get the nerves to do it. I finally bribed her with a gift certificate that was given to me. She finally got the nerves to do it......ha! ha! After we walked out of the store, she went COMPLETELY pale and she barfed in my sister's jacket (thanks again Jeannie! I REALLY didn't want the embarassment of my child barfing on the floor in the middle of the mall!)

This is my favorite picture!

She was so brave!

And there you have it! A cute little earring on a cute little girl!

Now that football season is about to begin, we will be in Salt Lake a lot so we can attend the B.Y.U. games!! Also, I just got put in the Young Women's Presidency, so I don't really see life slowing down very soon!
