Family Pictures 2012

 

So I have the most talented, amazing, sweet, patient little sister, who happens to be a photographer, who happens to have a TON of patience to take my families  pictures every year.  This is no easy task, at all!!!!  Every year I have at least one kid who does their best to scream, cry and do everything I tell them not to do.  This year Treyvin won the award!  He was a nightmare.  But as always my sister can pull off with the best of the best pictures even with not perfect models! 

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year!!!  Mya was a witch (obvious)  for the big night and Marlee was a fairy!  It was once again perfect weather. 

 

                                                  Trey was a biker and a little stud of one too. 

 

             We went trick or treating with some good friends who just moved here to the states, so this Halloween thing was a new thing for them and they had a blast with my kiddos!

 

                    I swear Mya is a teenager already.  After we got back she had to get with all of
her girlfriends to check out each others customes, check candy, ect.  We truly are so blessed to have Mya have such amazing friends.  Kendal and Dibby have been a second family to us. Jan their mother has watched all my kids for years and they are moving in May and I can't handle the thought without them!

 This is not Halloween as you can see but we are in the process of redoing bedrooms in the house to get ready for baby #4.  We will have to put the two girls together, Trey will be moving into Mya's old room and baby boy get's Trey's old room!  This is the girls room that me and Todd worked our tails off on.  It was a lot of 2 AM mornings and throwing a lot of stuff away to get all their stuff to fit in together. 

 My amazing hubby built these drawers to go underneath the bed.  At the store we got the bunk beds they wanted $250 bucks for the drawers.  My awesome husband

                                    Kendal applied lipstick that acutally went on her lips. 
                                     My child looks like a clown!!  wow

I trimmed the tree back in our front yard.  Oh boy was this a job that was more than I thought it would be.  I was cutting this huge tree in my yard with 10 dollar clippers from walmart and lets just say I couldn't lift my arms the next day.  The kids all helped along with Emily our neighbor friend stuffing the branches in the garbage. 

 

Mya is a big 5!!! Treyvin is a 2

So we are pretty lucky that all of our kids b-days are withing 3 weeks of each other and all in the summer.  The parties are simple in the backyard.  Mya got to invite six friends over and they played on a big blow up slide, a water slide, at yummy food and partied!!!!  We love you Mya and are so happy your ours.  You really are turning in to our little sweet heart!!!!  Treyvins birthday was 2 days before Mya's so this was his party too.  But he was to little to invite friends so he just joined in the fun.  Treyvin turned 2!!!!!

Treyvin and Aiden spent the afternoon drinking from the water slide that sprayed water up! 

Tyson, Sabrina, and Todd all so happy to be here.  Tys is so not sucking in or anything!

Catch Up

I took Mya and Marlee and their Best Friend to the Rodeo at the Days of 47.  I worried that they would hate it and it would have been a waste of money, and I was so very wrong.  The girls were hilarious, all of them love it.  In fact when it was the calf roping time and the calfs got away they would just up and cheer and scream for the calf.  And when the cowboy roped it they would say " oh know, stop that you mean cowboy!"  They were  hilarious entertainment for all those who were around us.  They also loved the clowns!

 We have had some fun days swimming and at the park with the Johnsons, as my kids know her as their 2nd mom!

 Lounging in the kiddy pool with Marlee who insisted she needed her life jacket on in the 3 inches of water because she might drown.  Todd thought it was hilarious i would get in, but whatever keeps me cool!
