Family Pictures

If pictures were not so expensive, I would know which ONE to order!

My mom told us to each pick a holiday and dress up. I picked Christmas because it's easy to put pajama's on everybody! lol

Happy Valentine's Day to Everyone!

I hope everyone had a loveable Valentines Day! We started our day by getting up EARLY and headed over to the Draper Temple Openhouse. It was snowing and a little on the cold side, so we didn't stop to take pictures. :( After that, we took the kids to the Nicklecade and they played and played. Then we came home and got ready for family pictures. Getting 20 people and 2 dogs together for pictures can really take a lot out of you! (Hopefully they turn out as cute as we all had planned!), then we came home and Eric and I cooked our heart shaped pizza (thank you Papa Murphy's) and we did a little fondue. We had 2 fondue pots, but decided it would be a lot easier with the kids if we melted the chocolate and carmel in the microwave. It was still a lot of fun! Later that night, Eric took Grant and Mackenzie cosmic bowling, and Coleman, Blake and I stayed home and.............went to bed! :)

I ♥ my mini van!

Look at this picture. Besides not being able to see Mackenzie's face, do you see anything wrong with it?

That's right folks!

4 kids + 1 mini van= NO KIDS TOUCHING EACHOTHER!

What a peaceful drive!

Ok, it really is not oops! But let me explain......... Eric and I decided to take off to Vegas this past weekend and we got married! When we got there I asked the lady which chapel Brittnie Spear got married at and it happened to be the same place we were at! So, that is where the title of this post comes from! lol Anyways, Eric and I got married on January 10, 2009! The kids and I will be moving to Idaho hopefully by March! I have found a great guy and I feel sooooooo blessed! I love you Eric! ♥

All tuckered out! Not sure Blake is really asleep!

The boys sleeping in the car! Still not sure Blake is really asleep!

Eric took the older 2 kids to a basketball game so I took the younger kids out for ice cream! I think we got the better end of the deal!!!

The past 2 weeks have been loaded with FUN! For christmas we went up to Idaho and even though we were seriously snowed in for 4 days, the kids had plenty to do and they kept themselves busy! Then for New Year's, Eric and the boys came down here and we went to my brother's place for a fabtabulous party with ever so yummy steak and lobster. After we ate, we headed over to the tracks station and went downtown to enjoy the last night of Temple Square's lights. We made it home with seriously 3 minutes to spare so we could watch the ball drop on T.V. The next few days consisted of Chuck-e-Cheese's, bowling with good friends, a movie, building a snowman and a little ice cream! I was sad to see them head back home and can't wait until we all live in the same state and under the same roof! :)
