Brylee has a surprise...

Before...
She is super excited/nervous! After...
Brylee got her ear's pierced and she didn't even cry! She had begged us all Summer long to get it done. Of course I think she looks beautiful but she looks so grown up with them, it makes me sad.

Introducing...

Nick and Mikka Adams! They were married on Saturday August 14th in Iona, Id. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was special to see how much they were in love. Oh how I love weddings! It was the happiest I remember ever seeing Mikka, and it meant so much. She was absolutely beautiful as always. She asked me to take pictures, and I was glad too. She's so easy to take pictures of.

Here Carter's hamming it up on the dance floor. Not too long after this Mom fell on the dance floor...hilarious! It kept me laughing until I went to bed, I still chuckle to myself ever now and then about it. I know I have a weird sense of humor.

Here is our very pink family~

Our big family...it is getting quite big actually! I love this picture, it shows my little boys in true form!!!

Brylee reminds me so much of Mikka. From their toe head blond hair to their princess attitudes. And of course they are super close. Brylee loves her so much and misses her even more!

All the girlies, we couldn't get any of the boys rounded up for a picture...of course.

I love my sisters!

Brylee, Autumn and Addison did great at their first job as flower girls.

We love you Nick and Mikka and wish you the very best!

Summer

The last couple of months seemed to have flown by. It seems like we have been so busy. It's inevitable that Summer is coming to an end. And I can't decide weather to be excited for kids to be in school and be back on a schedule again or to be sad that my carefree Summer will too soon be gone. Anyway I'm gonna enjoy the last couple of weeks while they last!

motocross = broken clavical

Yesterday Logan was supposed to have a race at the mini motocross track in Morgan. But on the practice race he over shot the double on a triple hill jump and crashed his bike into the third hill. It threw him into the handle bars and broke his clavicle bone (AKA collar bone) he also has a somewhat black eye, bruised ribs and a banged up leg. It could of been sooo much worse, I'm just thankful it wasn't and that he had his chest protector on, because he said it really knocked the wind out of him. Here's the break, it really grosses me out. And I can't even begin to understand how it's supposed to heal straight, but I guess I'm supposed to trust the doctors. He has an appointment next week with an orthopedic dr. to see how it's healing and find out that at that point he'll need pins in it...let's hope not!
Get better bud, we love you very much!

Make a wish...

We had Logan's Birthday party tonight. I still can't believe he's thirteen...although his attitude often reminds me! He really is such a great kid, I have NOTHING to complain about! His last GPA was 3.95, which is AWESOME!

I love you SOOO much, you'll always be my first baby! I hope you had the best birthday ever!

Montana

We went to my Dad's house a couple of weeks ago for a mini vacation. It really was a lot of fun. We mostly fished and played late night games of Scrabble...oh, the memories!
Here's my Dad with our kids...Carter wasn't too happy. This was a little pond we took the kids to.

This is me and Carter at the Wisdom creek.

My Dad put a feather and flowers in Brylee's hair...and of course she loved it!

I'll have to say Logan was quite the fisherman this trip!

Shooting our guns...

It was a great trip, thanks Dad!

13 years ago today...

I gave birth to the kindest, smartest, loving and handsome boy ever! I love you Logan...Happy Birthday!

For his birthday breakfast he requested waffles and since we don't get him tonight we lite candles and sang him happy birthday.

Make a wish....

I still can't believe I have a teenager!!!

Ice Sheet

Last Saturday we went to the Ice Sheet with the Daltons (aka my sister's fam)
Not the best picture... we all decided to pose in the brightest place possible!!! Brylee was the only on of my kids that got the hang of it. Here she is in princess pose as usual!

At one point or another we all got stuck packing one of our kids around the rink. Don't ask me why I thought that my kids might be natural skaters and actually want to step foot on the ice. Was it fun you ask....I'll have to think about that one!

My sister's family. Quinn, Shauna, Justin

Addi, Autumn (aka the wall riders)

Even though there were many who questioned why I wanted to go here, I think we all had fun at some point! I'll definitely be going there again...in about 3 years, unless I can't ditch two little boys!

Bear Lake

We our annual trip to Bear Lake over the fourth of July. It was by far the funnest trip this year. My sister Mikka and her fiance Nick came and my sister Shauna and her kids got to come too!

Here is Carter hanging out at the beach. Logan's awesome sand castle!

Yummy smores!!!

This is one of my favorite parts about our Bear Lake trip...shakes!

Brylee's had this new thing were she goes cross eyed a lot lately. She shared that for us, lovely Bry!

Mini golfing at the good ole' KOA

We rented these fun little bikes. In all the years we've stayed here we've never got them. I'm not sure why either cause they are TONS of fun! We had our bike, Shauna and Logan had theirs and Mikka and Nick had one too...we did a little racing.

Our trip this year was FUN, FUN, FUN!
