HaPpeNiNgS!

It definitely has been awhile since I've been on here. No internet for a few months will definitely do that to you. But I haven't stopped taking pictures of my little gems.

Brooklyn has been so sweet lately! ...such a little helper and loving her mom. I truly am blessed to have her.

My little baby Will is growing up so fast! Here he is on his #2 Birthday! He LOVES to say "NO, MINE!" He talks so much now in 5-6 word sentences, likes to breakdance, give his mama kisses, and sleeps in his own big bed now. He puts himself in timeouts which is more than daily. He loves dinosaurs and motorbikes and shooting things with his bow and arrow or making anything into a bow and arrow! Sometimes I get frustrated with him and then he turns and looks at me with those big fat lips and green eyes and my little heart melts!

The Birthday Boy!

I had a wonderful night with these little ladies! Oh the history and craziness! Of course we would go Kareokeing and steal the show...of course we would no pride ourselves and not care what anyone thinks of us. They are hilarious.

Attempted a little photshoot...Thank goodness no one was around. I love it when things like this are suppose to be fun and happy and I end up forcing them to smile with no awareness that I even exist. But all in all they turned out better than I thought.

FINALLY

It is an eternal struggle to get him to look at me when I take his picture. FINALLY, he did it! Can he get any cuter....I think not!

Good Times!!

The 4th of July did not dissapoint this year!

This little Will-POP was so fun this weekend. He yelled my name 50 million times and threw about 789673642 rocks and sticks and equaled that in mosquito bites!

Lots of facepainting and dancing!!

We all thoroughly enjoyed taking family pics. Everyone loved every minute of it and no complained...not even once:)

We lit a few of these bad boys!

Uncle Yella provided much entertainment to this lil chickadee!

Some serious concentration here.

and here...

and the never ending Bear Lake!

I MISS YOU #2

If I could be a 1/20 of these woman! It's really crazy how people come into your lives out of the blue when you really need them the most. There are few girls I know that are as spitfirey(sp) as me. My DI and GW runs will never be the same. Now this gal can garagesale like nobodies business. Oh an did I mention I wish I had her house/homedecor/brain of creativeness.

This miss america is amazing. She is such a talented woman and I love that she doesn't keep it to herself and shares it with me ALL the time. Sis is one of the most selfless people I know.

Seriously, I don't think I've ever met a stronger, more beautiful woman. The spiritual strength she has overwhelms me to tears. Of all the things that she has trialed with recently, what an example of a gracious woman. I love that she's my friend. I love that she loves what I love. I love her children and love that I feel like family around them. I love that she thinks I'm funny. I owe so much of my parenting and motherhood to her. I wish we were neighbors right now. I'm so glad I have this picture.

I MISS YOU!!!

I miss this little posse'...words cannot explain
I miss this little couple.

I miss this AWESOME mother and friend.

I miss my ward and friends that shaped me into the mama that I am and hope to be...someday and loved me even with my.....weird ways/thoughts/anxieties/insecurities/scatterbraininess/spazzzomatiness(is that a word?)

I miss my first friend to meet in Boise and last friend to say goodbye to.

Uhmm...

I miss seeing this little group every day...ooh my heart is tugging.

I miss the endless giggles and screams OK..and sometimes whines together.

I miss this litte gem who's saved my butt more times than I can imagine or begin to reciprocate. She is a SAINT I tell you. I wish I could give her a 2wks vacation to any place of her choice...I would...and of course I would go with her....BUT I can't so I'll just take her a Pepsi every once in a while and hope she sees the true meaning behind it.

I'll just throw in some Easter into the mix while I'm at it!

I miss my girls at work. Super funny and got my sense of humor..that's kinda rare. I hope I find that again.

the end

Uhmmm..I have a crush

On this lil guy! He's been quite the handful these days but I wouldn't trade him for a millisecond. I do miss him even when he's sleeping. He loves his momma!

AND his 2nd momma Rachel. He got hurt the other day and actually ran towards her to console him instead of me. It was so precious! She loves them almost as much as I do and he's gonna miss her SOOOO much!
The little Wills showing us his muscles! I love him in his little handsome suit!
What more could a gma ask for...a brand new babe to hold and love! She's pretty cute and a sweet addition to the fam.

for uncle zack!

They are growing up right before my eyes!
