February 2013

I needed to take a picture for Kyler's baptism announcement so I had a photo shoot in our backyard.  Naturally, Kyler wanted to have nothing to do with pictures, but my other two boys were ready to smile and pose.  So I had fun with my camera.  It's really fun having all boys, especially on Sunday.  They all look so handsome in their ties and white shirts.  We had another snow day this year, they seem to be coming yearly now, it's pretty cool.  So of course we went out to play!  I think all of Tucson did.  It snowed all day though, and that is very abnormal, I've only seen it snow in the morning and melt by mid afternoon.  So this felt more like a Utah's "first snow of winter".  And Kyler had another birthday.  I can't find a way to stop my kids from growing, it's so sad.  He's already 8.  I can't believe it!  A mission is right around the corner, scary.  So proud of him though.  He's become quite the strong, confident and talented young man.

Brent was kind enough to invite us to a BYU basketball game.  It was so much fun!!  Thanks Brent!  When we got back to Tucson, I dove into my very delicious Christmas present from Amanda.  Holy crap that whole basket of goodies was amazing!!  Thank you so much!  See my fingernails, yeah, that's the manicure I got when Jenn and I went out to get pampered.  Love you Jenn, plan on more pedicures when we're living up there!  Kyler and Ryan built their lego toys, BJ wins the "Best Gift Giver" award again, Oh I mean, Santa wins again.  Woops.  Kyler performed in his first musical, with his second grade class.  Pretty cute.  Kyler was not excited to get up and perform, but had fun once he was up there, I know it looks like he's yawning but he was really singing, I swear.  And to end January is my slick little baby chilling on the couch watching TV with his sunglasses on.  He LOVES sunglasses.  What a goober.  I love my family.

January 2013 Part 1

January started off with some good laughs when Ryan fell asleep on the stairs at Brian & Jenn's house sometime just before midnight on New Years Eve.  He is not our night owl.  He likes his sleep, he'll get it anywhere he can.  Not the only time we've found him asleep on the stairs, by the way.  We had some real good fun with my family in their ward gym.  Trevor, the athlete of the year, as usual, then my Mom is looking super fit, had to throw that in.  Summer helped Kade load his gun.  What a good cousin.  When Kade got done shooting people, he came to me for comfort, which is why I'm playing football with my baby on my hip.  BJ even got in on the action.  And Grandpa Mack didn't make it, he was shot down, probably by Kade, at least my other kids cared enough to come take care of him.  This last picture was me and my sister getting a bite to eat right before she left for St Thomas in the Virgin Islands, to work for Del Sol.  That girl is living it up!!

I got a great family picture with my parents and siblings!  Finally, the last one was taken at my brother's wedding.

And we had so much fun with a very large portion of Rowser's this year.  We went downtown to the Planetarium, Temple Square and the downtown mall.  It was so much fun!!  Riding the trax was the best part for the kids I think.  And I love spending time with all of Brandon's family.  We had so much fun this year!

We finally went on the Polar Express this year!  It was near Flagstaff.  Fun, but we definitely should've done it at night.  Kyler wasn't convinced that we were at the North Pole with all the cactus outside.  It was still a lot of fun. 

Kade loves taking my weights and mimicking my workouts.  I had to get a picture when he did it without a shirt on.  Classic!! 

The next 3 pictures are of our Christmas morning.  Love their faces.  Christmas morning is so much fun with kids!

Christmas at my parent's house was a blast this year.  Presents are always fun, but the last present we opened were Nerf guns, so we had a full on war after presents.  So fun!  Kade got toilet paper!  Thank you Uncle Trevor and Aunt Monica!  And then we made a snow man.  My family is crazy!
