So ... I have been slacken' again! And I don't even have the excuse that we have been crazy busy.... just life!

So here is a quick rundown as to what we have been up to ;)

Fishing...Lots and lots of fishing and sometimes lots of catching but mostly lots of waiting :)

Clogging... Lots and Lots and LOTS of clogging, so much in fact my fanny hurts! ( no wonder Tara looks so amazing)

Shopping... All of our school clothes shopping is complete and ready to go. I have a love/hate thing going on with school clothes shopping. It always reminds me just how much my kids have grown from the year before. (Physically and in their opinions) I have also found out my opinion isn't near as important as it use to be :(

Driving... With all the shopping, clogging, and fishing I feel like we spend A LOT of time driving.

So that is basically what we have been up to. Oh, besides WORKING... Trav has done a lot of that lately.... BOO!!!

I will post picture of the "School Clothes Fashion Show" put on by the little miss soon (you might even get a sneak peek at the little man! Only if he doesn't catch me taking pictures of him)... so you will definitely want to check back for that extravaganza :)

This is what the boys have been doing... YEP, he was proud!
I guess I will have to go with them to get pictures of them actually fishing.
I asked them to do it ... BUT????

We had a packed week and house full of visitors. (with a LOT of babies... Tyler and I were in HEAVEN!!!)

I am so very grateful for my family and friends that take time out of their busy lives to come(some hundreds of miles) to visit us. Because let’s face it there are ALWAYS things that need to be done and NEVER enough time to do them. So, to our True Friends and Family …

BLESS YOU, THANK YOU, WE LOVE and APPRECIATE YOU!!!!

Aunt Bri and baby Jaerica
aren't they both so sweet?

Some of my cute family...missed the rest of you!


Tyler and Liberty... They were joined at the hip
most of the visit. Tyler REALLY enjoyed her
Then my friend Roper and her 4 kids came to visit from St George. wish more of our pictures turned out but with a house full of crazy kids running around they were kind of blurry :)
Tyler LOVED Mar, she tried to get Roper to leave her with us :)

Brayden and Mac having fun :)

The only down side was that we ALL shared the flu... even Grandma :(
Yep fun times for sure.

I am glad everyone made it home safe and sound and feeling much better!

Tyler's sweet pitching skills

I couldn't get these pictures to post in the order that I wanted them to, so we get what we get.......

This was Tyler's VERY 1st time pitching... and she did AWESOME!!!!
I know I am the mom so of course I would say that but.... so did her coach and a lot of others.

So it MUST be true :)

I love this picture.... surprisingly enough she caught the ball and got the girl out!
I guess you close your eyes for luck :)

Doesn't she look like she means business... well she did!

Tyler takes this stuff VERY seriously.

Happy Birthday to you...

We got to celebrate Trav's birthday a few day early this year, which was a DANG good thing because on his actually Birthday I was SICK ( I guess it is that 4th of July curse I get) Tyler made these YUMMY cupcakes... aren't they cute?
Brayden was so excited for Trav to make a wish :)

hope it comes true!

Here are all the party animals
can I just say .... I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!!!!

Fun and Games

The other night I walked by Grandma's room and heard a LOT of giggling, so of course I stop to listen and this is what I heard... Tyler teaching grandma how to play Mario Bros on the DS. She was very patient, showing her what all the buttons did and trying to explain how to play the game. It was sooo cute! I had to go grab the camera... Doesn't it look like they are learning something VERY important?

Well they were ... how to run ,jump, and NOT get killed :)
Now the rewards of patient teaching.... a "real" game with Grandma!
She did very good and they laughed and played for hours.
