The Many Faces of Rowdy

Cousin Battles

We were watching Pace this weekend and Shane thought it would be fun to make Kash and him compete in different things. It was pretty funny!

First TP!!

Avery was having a sleep over tonight and the girls were board and wanting to do something. I said, "let's go TP someone." They had never heard of it. I was like "What?!" Alright, It was time to learn.
This was so much fun! Avery was so scared, nervous and excited. Braily was scared and laughing so hard. It was hilarious watching these two try and TP someone! I wish I could have recorded it. We chose Cari's house. Avery was so nervous to get caught by her parents. I cant say it was even close to a good job but, hey, at least they learned!

Fasion Designers

Braily and Avery took one of my homecoming dresses and turned it into their own outfits. Did their hair and makeup too! They were so excited when I told them they could cut it up and make their own outfits out of them. I'm loving Averi's makeup!

Big Boy Chair

Rowdy has been trying to sit up every time I lay him down, so I decided its time to get him a big boy seat! He loves it........cant you tell by that face!

Adventurous from an early age

I was going through some old picks of mine and found these on the computer. This girl has always been BUSY! She was curious about everything and still is. If I don't jump to help her the second she wants help, she will figure out how to do it herself. She is so smart and I know one day she will do great things with that mind of hers. She is always making, creating and collecting. I love this sweet little girl.

September 11th Memorial

I took the kids to go see the 9/11 memorial at Tempe beach park. They were amazed at all the people that died. It's crazy to think they were not even alive at the time. The flags with Teddy bears by them were usually a child, so they found every bear and read about their lives. They both found kids their age. So sad to see, but good to remember and be able to show my kids.

Not a Nipple

I was cooking dinner and Rowdy was getting fussy. All of the sudden he got really quiet so I came to check on him. This is what I found him doing. I think he is mistaken. Nothing is coming out little boy! I bought that onsie for him before I even knew I was pregnant. Crazy that it finally fits him.

Milk Drunk

Taking it Into His Own Hands

Kash has really been wanting to spike his hair. I keep telling him that we need to cut it in order to spike it. He was not having that because he really wants to keep his mullet. So He went into the bathroom and came out like this. Not a battle I care to fight, so off to school we went with that hair and his cowboy boots!

Rowdy's Blessing

Rowdy's blessing went so well. Shane and I had our entire families there. I loved the blessing that was given and am so grateful for a husband that is worthy to give blessings whenever needed. I love to see our families together for such a special day. The spirit is so strong when you see that many men together performing a blessing. After the blessing we came to our house for tacos and dessert. It was such a fun day.

Goldfish in the Irrigation

We bought about 15 goldfish for the irrigation. Great idea until Braily realized they would die if we didn't find them all! We went inside for a little bit and when we came out there was not a single one anywhere. Needless to say, Braily was a little upset.....

My Turn

I have so many pictures of everyone else with Rowdy that I decided it's my turn!! And one more with Shane because I think its cute.....He loves holding him as soon as he gets home from work. Its my favorite time of day. 1. Because I get a break ;) 2. Because I love how much Shane loves his baby.

Dove hunting

Shane decided to take the day off and take Kash hunting early this morning. He was so excited! He had to wake Braily up and tell her he was leaving to go hunting. He had so much fun !

Blessing outfit

Well Kash's outfit is not going to work for Rowdy. I was laughing pretty hard with his little belly hanging out. Time to go shopping for a new one!

2 Months Old!

This boy is two months today and he is getting FAT! I love it! Kash's only request in a baby was that he would be chunky like cousin Trace. We are not there yet, but working really hard on it!

My Samarai

This boy will find a place for a sword no matter what!

 

Big Sister

He has one cute big sister!

Labor Day

We headed to Grandma and Grandpa Traders cabin for another fun Labor Day. We found a new place to play that had some swimming holes and rocks to jump off. We took lunch and let the kids play. Rowdy slept the entire time we were there, but Kash and Braily had fun playing with the cousins.

Pet Turtle

These kids find a pet on any vacation that we go on. They found this turtle at the cabin and had to keep it as a pet for a day.
