Family pictures!

We finally got family pictures taken! It was quite the experience. The kids were SO done by the end. I think Kelly was too! I'm so happy that we got adorable ones! I just got my 20x20 canvases printed for my wall above my stairs. Yipee! I'll post a picture when it's all hung and done! I have to talk someone into standing on the ladder on my stairs to hang them. That scares the you know what out of me! I love my fam so so much!

I love you Sadey Jo!

Sadey, I look at this picture and the tears start to swell. I can't believe it's been two and a half years since we first met. I feel like I've known you since birth. Well....your birth that is! ;) Remember when you came over to my house for the first time? I was so excited! Remember when you gave us that little pink dress to tell us that you were having a girl? Holy crap I was beside myself with joy! Remember when Milo started calling her, "Google" and it just stuck? Remember when we went to the Bee's game and had a blast eating those crazy ginormous hot dogs? Remember going out to the Cheesecake Factory and the picture we took of your tiny 5'2" body next to Kelly's far large 6'5" body? Hehe! That still cracks me up! Remember when we used to watch movies and I'd feel Google kick and I'd cry? Remember how we'd watch the Bachelor and text each other about how lame some of those girls were? Remember when you called me to tell me that you were going to have her 3 weeks early and I freaked out? Remember how you went to hospital to be induced and you ate breakfast AND lunch when you weren't supposed to? Thanks for that, by the way. Her birth date is much cuter now! Remember how your pillow had raccoon eyes from your mascara after you got that dang epidural? Funny now. Not funny then! Remember when Kelly and I went out to dinner and left you there? Rude! Remember when the doctor asked us to leave the room so you could deliver? Remember when we came back into the room after she was born and we saw her for the first time? She looked like a little Native American papoose! Remember how chubby her little cheeks were? Remember how awesome those few days in the hospital were? Remember how many tears were shed at placement? Remember how your mom took you to Park City to chill and you had to have her stop at Wal-Mart to get the pink lotion that smelled like Malia? Remember how much you love Malia? Sadey, remember how much I love you and how I am Eternally grateful to you for giving to me the greatest thing I have ever been given. Remember how much Malia loves you for giving her the greatest thing anyone has ever given her. Remember that you will always hold a special place in our hearts for your selfless, loving, most Christ-like sacrifice I can imagine. Remember that, because of you....I have the daughter I have always prayed for. I love you Sadey Jo!

Happy 2nd Malia!!

Happy Birthday little lady! I can't believe she is already 2. It's just not fair! I miss all of her baby chub. I can't say that I miss lugging her 29 pound love around town though. We had a great party for her at the park. We ate yummy Tongan chicken, Anita's baked beans, watermelon, ice cream, etc. It was great. She was spoiled rotten with way too much princess stuff. I just don't know about all of this girlie stuff. It kind of freaks me out. I'm so used to farm equipment, trucks, and cowboy stuff. It's too cute to see Malia running around the house with everyone's shoes, a million necklaces, a purse, and anything that sparkles. We love you miss Malia Jayne!

Little Miss

Just a cutie pie picture of my little Miss! I love you baby girl!

California!

Yay! I love going to California with the fam!

We drove down and stayed in Laguna Beach. I love the beach.

We went to Disneyland, Sea World, hung out with friends and family, played at the beach, ate yummy food (Wahoo Tacos rocks!),

and had a blast just hanging out! It was so much fun.

I want to go back already. Have I mentioned that I LOVE the beach?

If Kelly ever makes it big with his dirt bike riding,

I'm buying a beach house.

Have you ever seen a 6'5" professional dirt bike rider? Dang!

Just Chilling!

These two little girls are the best ever! Who doesn't love two little girls in crazy cute dresses, bare foot, eating popsicles, sporting cool shades. Adorable!

P.S. The curly blonde is my sister, Shay's little girl, Halle. These two are 16 days apart!

Carter Jack

We love babies! I'm so excited that Shay finally had her cute baby boy. I warned her before he was born that I was going to steal him for lots of pictures. We got several great shots for his first (of MANY) photo shoot. What a doll he is. I call him "Dude" because of his long, straight, blonde hair. It is the best!

Milo is in love with Carter too! He keeps telling everyone that he has a new best friend named Carter. It's pretty much adorable!

We need a baby. Anyone know where I can pick one up? Anyone? Anyone? :)

HeHeHe!

This is my cute niece's daughter, Olivia. I am cracking up at her in this picture. She was LOVING those beads. What is that thing on her head????! Just kidding Jordan! I love it. POOOOOF! What a doll.

13 years?!?!?!?!?

I just can't believe that Kelly and I have been together for 13 years. I feel old. :( We are old! I'm so happy to have Kelly as my husband and best friend. He makes me laugh to the point of crying just like my girlfriends did in high school (yes.....that's you Emily, Emily, and Ami!) Can you even say "girlfriends" these days? See......I'm totally old! Kelly, thanks for staying by my side through all of the tough times. I love your stinking guts!

I can't STOP!!!!

Okay.....it's out now. I cannot stop making dresses for my little gal. I am addicted. It's my CRACK! Maybe it's a problem that she has 40 dresses hanging in her closet. YES.....I did say 40. I know.....I know.....it's a serious problem. Keep in mind....she's been wearing the same size since she was 6 months old, so it's not really my fault. I have to shop. Hello???!!!! Well.....now that it's out I can start posting a few of them. This dress was last week's project. It was a fun one. Kelly says she looks like a Mexican Cha-Cha girl! Hehehehe. She's not even a Mexican. Silly Daddy.
