Halloween Party

Shane and I did pretty good on this Halloween Costume. We through this together in about an hour. The black and white gives it a great touch!

Cabin Trip for Labor Day!

Kash was so happy the whole drive



Shane teaching Braily to fish! She was not to patient with it.



But they got one!! Ok... Shane caught it and let her real it in. She did though!!



The best part was when braily went to look at the fish closer. When she pulled the pole closer to her the momentum made the fish fly strait to her face! She screamed and chucked the pole. We were all dying laughing at her.



The view from Shanes cabin, off the upstairs deck. Its so pretty up there!

The house boat with Shanes family

Me and the kids went to the lake with Shane and his family this weekend. Braily had a blast. She has been taking swimming lessens and i finally got to see what a big help they have been. She was swimming in the dark and would not get out. She loved it. Thats all she wanted to do all weekend.




Shane, Jenny and his nieces


More of all the kids.

More Pictures!!

Braily got into my jewelry and put on everything she could get her hands on!


If i had to keep one picture of Kash for the rest of my life i would keep this one. He cracks me up in this picture i cant stop laughing when i see it! He is getting to be so much fun.


AND..... He hold his bottle by himself now!! I love it!


Braily at the park swinging. She doesnt quite get pumping herself. She just laughs and then makes me push her.


Braily loves her brother so much. She cant stand to hear him cry or get hurt. She gets mad at me if i let him cry for long at all. She is such a big help with him.

Tempe Beach Park

Some fun pictures!

Braily and her friend from next door. They are really becoming good friends and now she is moving in 3 weeks. We came home last night and their cars were gone. Braily said," Oh no!! Mommy, Carly moved already!!"


I walked into this the other day. I was pretty impressed that she got them on by herself. She was in her boat ready for a ride.


Little Emma trying to feed Kash. It didnt really work to well.

A Sad Reality!!

So I picked Braily up from her class on Sunday and she had this mothers day card for me. Of coarse she cant write so it was colored all over. There was a bunch of questions on it about moms so i decided to ask her the questions and see what her answers were about me. This is what she said :(

My mom is best at WORK!!

My mom is so smart. She knows about GOING TO WORK!!

My mom is pretty. She looks like a MOM!!

I like it when my mom GOES TO WORK!!

It makes me laugh when my mom DOES HAIR!!

My favorite food that mom makes is CEREAL!!!

For fun my mom likes to GO TO WORK!!!

Ya that is pretty sad. I even asked her the questions again in hopes that they would change!! Nope still the same! Hopefully one day that wont be the reality!!

Brailys funny comments

Have your kids ever told you something that just completely broke your heart? Well i couldn't decide to cry or die laughing. I asked Braily to come inside from playing with the neighbor kids for dinner. She got so mad at me and started crying hysterically and said to me, " I'm so sad mommy. You made my heart die!" She is the biggest drama queen. Everything is over the top.

Braily also thinks she is a princess. On Sunday we walked into church and the ladies on the back row always tell her how cute she is. She turned to me and said, " Mommy those grandmas think I'm beautiful." Then halfway through church she needed to go to the bathroom. We walked past the ladies again. I could not believe it when she turned her head batted her eyes and said "Hello Ladies". She is full of herself lately.

Rocky Point Triathlon

Ok....my goal was to finish without stopping and finish under 2 hours. Lets just say I accomplished one of them. We will leave the details out.

More of the kids

Brailys new thing is cuddling with Kash. Now that he smiles and laughs she loves to entertain him.


I posted this for Cory. Braily left her skirt that cousin tiffany made for her at her friends house. She was freaking out so i thought, "What would Cory do at a time like this?" Oh ya make it out of a cheerio box. Actually ribbon and plastic bags. It turned out pretty good.


I walked into the kitchen to find Braily stringing her gum across the cabinets. I asked her what she was doing and she said, "Making a spider web!"


I just thought they looked cute sitting there right before church.

girls trip

So it has taken a while to get all this posted but here is the pictures of our girls trip. It was alot of fun. We need to make it a yearly thing. No kids! Love them but I was ready for a break! Snowboarding once a year is perfect for me. To cold to do it more than that....Im a sun and water kind of girl!

Kash is 3 months old!

                                                     Braily holding Kash. A little scary.

                                                               Kash taking a bath.

                                                      Braily helping kash take a bath

Does this look a little forced to you? Not long after this he came in crying saying, " I dont want to be a girl anymore." Poor guy. I felt so bad for him. Braily didn't understand why he was so upset.

Birthday Pictures!!

I took Braily and Kash to go get their pictures taken. Notice how braily is being bribed with skittles in her picture laying down. I didnt order any of kash's because none of them turned out.

Grandpa's Funeral

      It was a sad day saying goodbye to our Horsey Grandpa. He loved his family so much. Im so happy he is out of his sick body and able to be free from it. I know he really enjoyed watching his family and friends come together for his funeral and celebrate his life. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge that I will see him again. He will be missed so much! I have so many great memories of him. I loved to ride in his horse and buggy for the holidays and family reunions. I loved that I rarely saw him without a cowboy hat on. I loved driving down to Lehi and spending time with him and the horses. Catching baby pigs down there was a great memory too! This weekend we went through his old clothes and each one of us took some of his cowboy shirts. He had so many! I love that I will have these shirts for ever to remember him by. I stole this picture from Cari. I couldn't make it this night but everyone had their shirts on and took a picture. Wish I was there, such a cool picture!
