Family Pictures

A big shout out and thanks to our good friend Adrianne. We went and had a great photo session with her. She did an amazing job. From dealing with 2 little rascals and a Kyle who deems himself not photogenic, there wasn't a picture I didn't love. Here are a few. You can also go to capturedbyadrianne@blogspot.com to check out all of her photos. She is very talented.

I love this little face too pieces.

Can you say future senior pictures. What a doll baby this boy is. He has the softest sweetest little heart and is loving growing up way too fast.

Oh how I love all 3 of my boys. They melt my heart. Even when they are being rascals, I couldn't imagine my life without them. Love to you!!

House UPDATE!!

Some of you... Mostly Kirby! Have wanted an update on the house so here are a few pics. Here are the boys. They to go over to the house. It is like a little play land outside.

Formal Living room.

Front Door.

The single garage door. It will be a 3car but the workers were on the other side.

Side view of the house. You can see they have started the siding.

Another side of the garage, they are working on the front with the stucco.

This is the front. You see the guy in the front is one of the stucco guys. They are working fast.

SO what is next. Well the painters start on Monday. It should take about a week. Then we will be putting in the hardwood floors and we are hoping that won't take too long with all the helper we have out there. It is moving right along. We are still looking at December to be moving in which we couldn't be more excited about it. It will be a blast that is for sure. Everyone kept telling me about all these awful stories of building and so far we have been nothing but happy with everything. Kenny and his assistant, Chelsie (Also his wife), our contractors have been nothing but amazing. Can't wait to have some of you over!

Date FUN!

OK, Can you just say future Wedding Video... Tavin and his best little friend Maddy had a little "playdate." Jaxon went to his friends house for a little while so we picked up Mads. and had a blast. We went to McKees to see the animals, then to get ice cream, and then to the park. It was so fun and they were priceless together. I was laughing so hard when they were holding hands, and helping each other on the slide, and just sticking right together the whole time. My camera ran our of batteries at McKees so I didn't get to document the rest of the festivities, but it was darling and we feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends in our lives.

Temple!

HELLO HELLO!!! A real quick little bit of info. A lot of you have asked what can we do, how can we help?? Here is an idea...Any of you who have the time before Tuesday Sept. 22nd to make it to the temple there is a huge effort around the world on my sweet Niece Tegan Salce's behalf. We are trying to get in as many sessions and get her name on as many prayer rolls before her surgery which is set for Sept.22nd in Salt Lake City at the Children's Hospital. Thank you so much to everyone. Lots of Love.

Water Babies!

One last water fun day. Here are the boys running through the fountains. Jax just jumped right in, while Tav was a little hesitant and then just followed big brothers lead. They had a great time and we loved having a little one on one time with Grammie. Thanks mom for a fun day. LOVE YOU.

Tavin is in the red shorts.

TEGAN VISIT!!

Most of you have been following my nieces story and her battle with cancer. We stopped in to see her on our way home from Utah. She was just finishing up her 4 day chemo and was so thrilled to see these boys. She kept rubbing Jaxon's leg and was so excited to have them snuggle up to her. They gave kisses, hugs, and even a few tug of war moments just like when she was home.

She humbles me each and every day. As I watch her and her sweet family go through this trial I feel as though I am learning more about life and how precious it is and to hold tight to every moment with each other. I cherish the moments I get to hold her, paint her nails, put in hair things, and listen to her laugh and cheer when she see us. As she gets ready for this life altering surgery I can only hope and pray when it is all said and done, I will get a lifetime to hold her. I love all my girls up in Utah and wish I could spend more time with them. What great examples they are to all of us. Love you too pieces.

Grammie and Teg. snuggled up. This is how they sleep while in the hospital. My mom loves every second of it and Teg loves to give her tons of kisses good night.

Lots and lots of kisses!

Watching Shrek!

Denver!

I got the opportunity to head to Denver for a quick trip for a good friends wedding. I stayed with my greatest friend Ally and her sweet family. This is her 9 month old Caleb who was such a trooper with his mommy and I's talks, cooking, walks, and just catching up and sharing mommy stories. It is so crazy to see the chapters in our lives unfold.

Jamie and Kendall. They were so happy and her mom made that beautiful dress. It was so fun to catch up with old but great friends. For some of us it had been over 12 years since we had seen each other.

Debbie and Matt.

Matt and Shelby

A BIG BIG BIG shout out to my great Sister and Brother in law who watched the boys while I was gone. Jaxon wanted to stay and live with Ryker for a year. He told me I could come and visit him. I could hardly get a hug from either of them they had such a blast, swimming, picnicking, going to the park, Cabelas, and the list goes on. Thanks again Meg, love you guys.
