Tubby Time


Brylee absolutely loves the bath. She got splashing really good tonight. The girls love to put her hair into a mohawk and so I couldn't miss the chance to get a picture!

Raimee's 1st Day of Dance

The excited little munchkin outside her dance studio

Her teacher trying to get them to touch their toes to their heads

She's the 4th in line. They are on their way to get a drink after dancing hard!

The whole way driving her to dance she kept making sure that I knew that she was "thwee" and that she handle it. I think she told me about five times "mom, just give me kisses and dwop me off"

Kelbee's 1st Tooth is Gone!!


We were at our friends 30th birthday party and Kelbee lost her first tooth. She was so proud!! She ran around showing everyone-while they were eating. One of our friends said "Kelbee do you know how much the tooth fairy gives for your first tooth?" I just looked at him and said "Don't you even Brett! I know exactly what you are doing" He started to laugh and said "The tooth fairy pays $25 for your first tooth. I said "No, she only pays $5", Kelbee smiled shrugged her shoulders and ran off. I got off easy on that one!!!

Good-Bye Grandma

We are about to pull the plug on grandma and I just wanted to let everyone say their good-byes. She has been there for us through thick and thin but she is really old and going 30 on the freeway just isn't cutting it...so stay tuned for the newest member of our family!!

Kelbee's First Day of 1st Grade

Outside our house just before we left for school

Right outside of her new school

My big girl at her desk. I can't believe that she is old enough to be gone all day. She was so excited to go not only all day but to her new school-because we moved. She brought a lunch on the first day and then thought that school lunch was so much cooler. So ever since, that is what she has had. And she could not have been more proud when she came home the second day and told me that she opened the milk carton all by herself. I truly was so proud!!

Raging Waters

Raimee with I don't know - a dinosaur

Hudson, Asha, Kelbee and Jaxon

All the kids for the day. Try keeping track of all of them. I think I had the biggest heart-attack of my life while we were there. I hate the feeling I get when I lose one of my kids-well try losing one of your friends-or so I thought. Katie asked me to watch Zaya and Asha while she took Sage down the slide. She gave me Zaya and told me that Asha was in the little pool right behind me. I got Zaya and Brylee some treats and when I turned around I couldn't see her. I looked around for her for a few minutes and still couldn't see her. I told all the other moms and we all spread out and looked for her. Turns out Katie had taken her with her and thought that I had seen her do it. I honestly think it took me about 10 minutes for my heart to slow down and to stop sweating. I even went into the bathroom without shoes on looking for her. Now that's LOVE!!

Brittany and Kelbee coming off the double tube slide. I wasn't cool enough!!


Brylee trying to escape from me. Notice the cookie in her hand!
We all went to Raging Waters (courtesy of Heather Marchbanks). It was so much fun to have a last who-rah before school started. The kids all had so much fun playing with eachother. I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends that my kids can look up to, and that they have great kids for my kids to have as friends!!

Our Trip To Minnesota

Missy and Brylee at the lake

All of us girls with my grandma. I get my bod from her!!!!

Raimee driving the boat


Kelbee jumping off the tramp

Tonya, Me and my cousin Brenna. This picture is right before we took off and also right before I peed all over from fear of going 60 mph over the crashing waves. I don't think I have had that much fun in a long time. Brenna ended up getting out so it was just me and Tonya. Needless to say... we turned the tube over when we were done. My bladder just ain't what she used to be!


At the family talent show. My girls were supposed to do "FABULOUS" from High School Musical 2. Well with 41 people staring at them they wouldn't do it without me. I know I know... I look just like Sharpay!

These are just a few pictures from our trip to Nauvoo and MN. My camera ran out of batteries and everyone else was taking pictures so these are the only ones I have right now. Maybe I'll do an update later. We went at the end of July, first of August. It was a lot of fun and also very tiring. Todd couldn't come because of work. I have so much more respect for my friend Katie and what she has to go through everyday without Ryan. She was acutally on my mind the whole time we were gone. Anyway, we went to Nauvoo and we were able to go through the Temple. What a neat experience. I think the most spiritual experience I had though was at the pageant. The spirit was very strong there and it was neat to watch my girls and how they paid so close of attention for almost two hours. We went to MN to a resort and stayed there for a few days. We had a lot of fun in the water and it is all thanks to my uncle Dan. He wanted us to come along so he paid for everything!! Now that's the way to travel!
