The whole fam dam

So I think that this is the first time that all my siblings have been in the same place at the same time and with a camera! I know I wish that Piper was looking at the camera too.

All of my nieces and nephews....with my Pete and Piper:)

You know I didn't realize how big my family was till I looked at this picture. I grew up 3rd of 6 kids and I guess that was kind of a lot but I would have never thought that it would become this big and still be growing. I love my family so much, and I am so extremely grateful that families can be together forever.

We will mourn you 'til September 2010.

Dear Conan, we just wanted you to know that we were on your side the whole time. You will be missed more then you know. We await the possible return of the Walker Texas Ranger lever, the "string dance" & the self gratifying bear along with the many countless off the cuff comments.

Until we meet again.....

TUBE TIME

I LOVE LOVE LOVE giving my kids a bath! I don't know what it is. They love it too! It doesn't matter if only one of them needs a bath, they both will end up in there anyway. Guess you can't be too clean:)

I love Piper's cute, chunky bum!

Christmas

Pete: "Dad, I know what the true spirit of Christmas is"...
Matt: "Really!? Wow Pete! What is the true spirit of Christmas???"
Pete: "Christmas cards"

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas full of Christmas Cards:)
I know that we did!

ALL BOY

This is what happens when a bar stool jumps out in front of you while you are spinning and spinning around in circles in the middle of the kitchen. Too bad I didn't get a good picture of the swelling, it was a pretty awesome battle wound!

He actually likes to look in the mirror everyday to see what color it changes to next. He really liked the red and black, not to happy with the purple and yellow:)

So apparently...

... Piper does not know how to close her mouth:) She probably gets it from me, although I think the size of her mouth definitely comes from her father. I can't believe that she is already 9 months old, and yes I will say it again, I hate how fast the time goes:(

I just love that little munchkin!

HALLOWEEN!!!!

Gage, Remi, Pete, Piper and Colt....

My Batman.

My little Mickey Mouse.

Summer fun

I am really sad that summer has come to an end:( Needless to say, we had a great summer!

We spent most of the summer at this park in Alpine that is really awesome! Next summer I am sure that we will be there a lot!

So farewell to the days of 80-90 degrees (well, for the next 6-7 months). We can't wait for your return:)

Not yet.... I am not ready!!

It just happened, I am not ready for it quite yet, the plugging of all the outlets, tumbling down the stairs, cleaning the knobs on the base of the toilets every second that I get because those are the first things that go into the mouth. I am not to thrilled about how fast she is growing:(

UTE Baby

Hope the Utes have a great year! We will be cheering for them all the way! GO UTES! KIYI!!

Pretty much....

..............Sucks:(

What can you do when you are stopped on the freeway and you hear the screeching of brakes, glance in your rear view and see a giant truck heading right into the back of you??? Nothing. Just be thankful that no kids are in the car with you, you are wearing a seat belt, you have car insurance and that they weren't going faster then 30 mph when they hit you. Thankfully no one was hurt. As for the car, that is another story:)

6 months already!!

I can't believe that my baby is 6 months old! I forgot how fast that time flies when you have a young one. It seems like you blink and they are already grown up ( not that anyone ever REALLY grows up, we are all kids at heart right??)

What a little angel Piper is, it is such a blessing to have her in our lives. She is currently weighing in at 17lbs 8oz. Can I just say, her thighs are so squishy and fun to bite! Hey, don't judge:)

Anyone need a handyman???

We thought that it would be nice to make a little extra cash around here, so if anyone needs a handyman, have I got the perfect man for you!! (OK, not quite a man) He loves working with his tools, and he is so great at sticking with the task at hand.

Check out those guns!!

Safety always comes first (minus the shirt of course). If any one is interested, you know how to get a hold of me:)

BEES!!!

I love going to the Bees games. I wish that we had time to do it more often. They are just so low key and relaxing and an easy place to take the kids.

Cash! So cute! I kind of want to take him home with me:)

Pete and Jack actually look like they are enjoying the game!! When actually they are looking for the BIG yellow bee running around the field:)

Even Piper had a great time!! Thank you Ryan and Emily for the great night!! Lets do it again real soon!!

11am to 11pm!!

What a crazy 4th of July!! By far my favorite holiday of the year!! We started out the day having a huge BBQ at my aunt Vickie's. (of course I forgot my camera at that event!) Thank you Vickie! The food was great and seeing all the cousins and hanging out was a blast!! Next we headed up to Papa Bills where we hit the pool!! We had so much fun!! The weather was perfect!! even Piper got in and loved every second!! We weren't planning on her getting in, but the pool was so warm, so we stripped off the clothes and got in naked!! I love all her Rollie pollies!!

My mom took them around the pool, and a great time was had by all!! It was a blast! Thank you mom for all the help with the kids and thank you Bill for the fun times at the pool:)

Next we headed out to my dads house for the firework extravaganza!!! We hadn't stopped all day so we were all getting tired at this point, but what fun!! I love my family and I think that is why I love the 4th so much!! We spend the whole day with family!!
