We Are a Family

I found this old picture of Christine (sis) with baby Syd, me with baby Alex, and Erica (cousin) with baby Mae. We were all at Sara's (cousin) wedding. I love that we all have babies together. We used to play school, college, house and pregnant ("P") together and now we have gotten to actually live it! I love my family. Sara and Beth...we need a picture with you and your cute babies.

I couldn't stop laughing. The eye holes are the BEST part. I love your mask Tori. I love how you want to wear it EVERYWHERE we go. I love your creativity. Kindergarten is the BEST!

pretty in pink

Yesterday we had our weekly ballet class. By pure chance everyone was wearing pink. I had to snap a picture. It was too cute. We were sadly missing Alex, Maddie, Vanessa and Stephanie in this photo. Till next week.

benton's first haircut

cookie dough

While I was making a healthy lunch for my family I put Benton in the high chair with some shredded wheat cereal. My back was to him and I was thinking..."wow, that cereal is really holding him over." It wasn't until I turned around that I realized Alex had slipped him some cookie dough...NO complaints from Benton!

Seasons Come and Seasons Go

I LOVE the fall. I only wish we had the beautiful colors of Utah in the fall. It is time to bring out the cinnamon candles, hot chocolate, sweatshirts and soup. Time to make way for Halloween, and Thanksgiving. It's the MOST wonderful time of the year.

Sundays are a day to catch-up and visit with family. I was able to visit with my mom and reminisce....

Mustard- Mom took us to a baseball game and during the 5th inning my mom got a little excited (with loaded hot dog in one hand). She started jumping up and down and soon the mustard from her hot dog slipped down onto the back of the women sitting in front of us...with a WHITE silk shirt on!!! Instead of recognizing the situation Mom pretended it wasn't her, however she was the ONLY one with a hot dog in her hand and directly behind the "victim". The women was NOT happy.

Uhaul- My mom was driving a uhaul (all by herself) from AZ to UT. On the way she decided to stop and buy a hamburger. She attempted to drive-thru only to discover the top of the uhaul was scraping the top of the drive-thru. To rectify the situation she threw the truck in reverse and was "outta there" leaving behind a damaged entrance to BurgerKing.

Shopping-Once mom bought a TON of groceries. While checking out she paid for the food and was handed her receipt. She took her change and receipt and walked out of the store...leaving all the groceries behind while double checking her receipt to make sure she wasn't over charged for anything!

Love you MOM! Life is always INTERESTING with you around.
