Sorry

Sorry I posted so much stuff tonight. I hadn't posted in like 4 weeks and I had no idea how much stuff was piling up. I still am not sure I am done. If you don't want to read them, then you can at least look at the pics, they are pretty cute! As always thanks for reading.

A fun night with friends

Last Saturday we went over to Ben and Kim's house for a BBQ. It was awesome, so relaxing and the kids had a blast playing in the back yard and later at night making a mess out of the Falkners house. Poor Libby, her toys are never the same after a visit from the Wests! The adults got to sit around and tell stupid stories from our past. Then we played a way funny game. Well I attempted to play, I really was awful, but everyone else was hilarious. We made an awfully late night of it. Sorry Ben and Kim, I bet 9am church was a blast!


Out for a leisurely drive on a Saturday afternoon.


There must be something pretty cool over there!


A pop star in the making!


Maybe just a drool star!

Too silly not to post

This is taken after Brynn's spaghetti photo shoot (below). Whenever we get the camera out, all of our super model children have to have their picture taken. This is Paxton doing some after dinner showing off! Like Brynn he also is standing on the table. So many people right now are freaking out that my kids are standing on the table. They aren't always allowed up there, just most of the time! Then I wonder why they are so naughty!


Look at his belly, so full with yummy dinner!


Oh and here he is showing off his bum, mostly because he thinks he is being completely hilarious.


More of his belly. He thinks he is so funny. Sometimes he will pretend there is a baby in his belly, oh man that kills me. He will try to wake it up by pinching and hitting it. He is a strange little child that's for sure

Got to love spaghetti!

This is what happens when babies eat spaghetti by themselves. I am really just starting to think that she loves being messy. See below incredible hulk post. I can't pass up posting pics of my kids doing things most kids are not even allowed to think about doing! I like to think that I am a pretty lax mom and my kids get to experiment pretty freely.


Standing on her chair for a better full body view of the mess!


Smiling at me not at Dad with the camera


Still looking at me! But way cute non the less


One more bite for good measure. Better get some of it in that belly!




Yes she is standing on the table. Yes I am shoving food in my face in the back ground. Oh man she is adorable. Who lets their kids stand on the table? People with adorable kids that's who!

A taste of spring

So we all know last weekend was beautiful, before we got the snow! Well I took full advantage of it. Dressed my kids in spring gear, hit the back yard and the park. Although I am not sure my kids know the difference! We went on a walk to Harmons to pick up a movie from Red Box and eat lunch. Then on the way home we hit the park on 10th east and 114th south. Ethan says it is the worst park ever because he tripped and got his first sliver (no pics), but he sure had a good time. Ethan rolled down a hill for the first time. So did Paxton although he didn't quite get the hang of it. I rolled down it a whole bunch. Kyle was not a fan of the rolling. He kept telling me how I was covered in grass and blah blah. He is such a baby, there is nothing funner then rolling down a grass hill at the park. Although the bigger you get, the more air you catch and I did get a little banged up! All totally worth it! Unfortunately, I can't get the pics of the hill rolling to load I will try again soon!


If it wasn't for that Letterman gap in his teeth, this boy could be a super model!


I hope this is a picture of what a good helper Ethan is, and not just of my fantastic ASSets!


Once again, dirty face, but still a super model to me!


Having way too much fun, that is actually a smile, although it kind of looks like terror!


Not quite sure why we want a picture of him in the slide!

Discovery Gateway

Okay, so we have a pass to the children's museum, well I never bring my camera. We go to the Clark planetarium quite a bit too, since it is just right across the street. I want a picture of my kids on the moon so bad, but do I ever have a camera, no! In fact we have a pass to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving point too, but once again I never take my camera. We hike so much that we can't get anywhere near American Fork canyon with out Ethan wondering if, "we are going on a long walk...again!", but are there pics, no way! Well this Saturday I went only for the pictures. I wanted to let people know that I actually do take my kids to do things, I just never document it! Here are a few of my favorites!

Hulk baby!

This is why one year olds should not have laughy taffy. Every time Paxton uses the big boy potty he gets a candy. Well the other kids get one too so we don't have any blood shed. This is what happens when Brynn gets a whole laughy taffy, instead of just a bite! Needless to say she was incredibly sticky and these photos make me laugh. So here you go!


I love how she closes her eyes like Packy. Actually I don't but I am getting used to it.


She looks very surprised. This is the face she makes if I tell her to keep her eyes open!


Look at that nasty sticky hand. I don't think you're going to like Brynny when she's angry!




There we go, her eyes are almost open


Okay mom, put the camera down!
