Glad you're back Brekka :)

O CHRISTMAS TREE, O CHRISTMAS TREE

Nothing like decorating the Christmas tree...it's so much fun with the kids (okay the truth is, I get really crazy and nazi about how it is decorated and what I usually do is let the kids decorate it and then when they go to sleep I re-decorate it the way I really want it! Tim said next year he is getting him and then kids their own tree. (check out how ripped tay's arms are!!)

(rootbeer floats...)

taylor wanted to take a serious picture of me and tim...this is what we gave her.

"There's a bit of insanity in dancing that does everybody a great deal of good." ~Edwin Denby

I think the pics speak for themselves...but,

almost every night while I make dinner, the kids and I rock out to music. Tim came home the other day and joined in the fun (although he insisted on dancing to some REALLY old school tunes.) O, and I'm not sure what was going on with Tace and his random whistle...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!

Taylor turned 7 on the 17th and we had a big swimming party for her at a local indoor pool...(which made it impossible to get everyone in a picture together!) But everyone had a blast and I am proud to say that not one of the ten kids at the party drowned! We got her an American Girl doll which she was so thrilled about (but I think I may be into them even more than she is!!) They are so fun! I had the flu most of the day so thanks Tim for saving me that day in every way!!! (This last random picture is Tay singing her lil' heart out at her thanksgiving program today at school...I just love the Holidays!)

I love girl's Night Out!! And all my gal pals!! You girls rock!!

My sweet Taylor! I love my baby girl and am so blessed and thankful to have her!
(She wanted to post some pics of us so here they are :)

LOVE YOU BABE!

Hurray for Friday Night Date Night!!! I just wanted to give a shout-out to my amazing hubby, who I love soooo much! It is so fun to hang out with you each week...whether we are going to the temple, rock climbing (indoor...i mean come on), going to dinner, having a picnic at the park, or just sitting next to eachother on the couch reading our books, i just completely LOVE being with you and thank you for those times when we get to remember (without the craziness of kids, who I also adore!!!) why we love eachother! :) xoxo

Every night when Tim gets home from work, the kids beg him to go for a ride on the motorcycle (and by motorcycle, we mean this piece of junk Tim bought when we were first in college) Even Tace gets in on the fun!

LATE NIGHT FUN WITH DAD

FAMILY FUN

Just a day at the lake with the kids...

Tacen really got into it!
Taylor miraculously being nice to Jarom

Of course the one time someone actually
takes a pic of me, and my big butt is in it....thanks guys.

I know it's been awhile, but I forgot to post these pics of thier first days of school. Taylor is in first grade and Jarom started pre-school...that's about it.

BIKER BABES

This is for you Erryn!! (I can't say anything else about this pic I am laughing so hard...)

ONE YEAR

FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!!..... WE LOVE YOU MONI!
(thanks Erryn)

I can't believe that summer is pretty much over!! Taylor started first grade and thinks she rules the school! She is loving it! Our last family trip was up to Idaho Falls where we spent the weekend with some of our best friends (eventhough you guys moved away...yes I am still bitter Ash) Anyway, it was so fun spending the day rafting down the river, bear world; the petting zoo, carnival rides, and of course our Wii tournament at 1:30 in the morning!!! Here's some pics...
