Say Cheeze.....

Alrighty about 2 months ago My mom-in-law Carol, some how managed to get about 99% of all her family together for a few pictures which is amazing considering the size of this family, it took me awhile to actually get them on my computer so finally here are some of them....lots of these pictures turned out really well....of coarse my 2 great boys, and then some big old family photos.






It is almost like playing where is Waldo....where is Dev and Gen...I can't find them.....Oh there they are :). I can't really see there faces......some one needs to tell that family to stop growing.....hahahaha. Those are thoughts that I know are going threw some of your heads.

Super Weekend!

Well every November Pheasant Season comes and goes, and we get to have family come up and hang out and hunt too, this weekend was the first time I got to spend some good time with my niece Ella. She lives in Arizona so we don't see each other too often. She is such a cutie! I wish I would have taken more pictures, Her expressions are charming to say the least!



Ella was watching Eliza

Asher had to join in the fun

She has such pretty blue eyes

Asher is a goof ball

Today we were dying to go sledding, it was a blast! To hear Asher and Owen laughing is so fun

These boys landed right in front of me

we have to do this again soon!

Eliza's 1st bite of rice cereal...

Well, most of the meal is all over her cloths and face, and I think that the camera was freaking her out, but I had to capture her first experience with a spoon.

Pictures

Here are my favorites from the last few weeks

We finally made it to the Zoo

Well it only takes a half hour to get us all unloaded and out of the car, and we were off to see the animals....


Devron and Derek were worried about their ultra violet rays so they wore protective gear....


Then Ellie waited patiently while....


The boys and I rode the carousel! That was really fun for Owen, he giggled the hole way


The family measured up


Hung out with Gorillas


And almost got eaten by lions! Scary!



All in all it was fun, the kids has a blast and I was pooped by the end of the day.

Asher turned 4 Years old!!!

The morning started with Asher running outside and playing on his birthday present from mom and dad, Asher and Owen even got to eat Oatmeal on the picnic table under the fort.


The Lightning McQueen Birthday Party started at 4:00 and we played Red Light Green Light



Then we ate Hamburgers and Hot dogs with all our friends


We all took a few turns on the pinata before it busted


Then it was cake and Ice cream time, I have to say making your own cake takes alot of time, but I sure was proud of the end product.


Asher got a ton of cool presents from a remote control helicopter to matchbox cars and even play dough, he has played with everything non stop since his birthday


Then we knew the party was over when Cousin Tavin took his pants off!

Someone for hire....

Well I am lucky enough to know some pretty cool people in my life, And someone I have known for a few years now, is brave enough to show her talents, I have to say I am jealous of her, I wish I could take pictures like she can, maybe she will teach me...Camille....
Being a mom, there is nothing you want more than to capture you kids growing up, weather it be little everyday things or when you try to get some really good family photos.
Camille was kind enough to bare the 2 and 1/2 hour drive to do just that, and Kelly as well, he was kind of the go-to guy, he made Owen smile which I was doubting would be done. He also helped haul my whole family around the entire town, and it was about 100 degrees outside which didn't help anything.
Thank you both so much.





My kids really didn't want to cooperate, so seeing these pictures makes me think 2 things, I have really cute kids and I am really happy to have friends. If you want some really awesome photos I might give you Camille's number, she is thinking of making a business out of this.

A name and a blessing

What a lovely Sunday, We were at the church by 11:30 (barely on time) Devron gave the best blessing I have ever heard. Then Eliza's cousin Cooper was also blessed with her on the same day, in the same church! Fun!



Then we went over to the Mendon Station to have a great lunch of BBQ Pork and wonderful salads and desserts. Yummy Yummy!



But the fun didn't stop there, it was picture time! The weather was perfect and we had lots of family stay for the evening with us. It was a good time to catch up with everyone.



I think we were having so much fun that some of the guests, Molly and Abby Byrnes (2 of the cutest girls I know), couldn't resist a nap...



and at the end of the night, we enjoyed a story by uncle Mike and then I think moments later my boys were fast asleep.
