Hey Birthday Girl Brittany!

It is finally Brittany's turn, she has been dying to open her cards that have come in the mail, I have tortured her by setting them on the counter to remind her all the time that she has to wait. Britt has been planning this birthday seriously since her birthday last year. Oh to love your birthday like that! I remember:) We all love ya, Hope it's a good one girly!

Happy Birthday Nana!

Happy Birthday Super Awesome Sis!

Ok I totally forgot to blog my big sister Jennifer's birthday post:( However she is still the best and I know she will forgive me. Happy Birthday yesterday Sis!

Parties Parties and More Parties

July is always a super busy month with trying to fit in as much summer fun as possible. Also it is both of my girls bdays. Along with that comes the parties we get to plan. I swore I was going to make it easier this year, and I think I did for Londyn's Party, it was a huge success. BUT........... For Brittany's party I may be in way over my head with 21 screaming girls planning to attend! What was I thinking?

My kids are so good and they help out around the house so much that I have a hard time not wanting to spoil them! Especially on their special days!

Also tonight I have all my acheivment day girls coming over for a swim and to have sno cones. Fun summer days:)

Want to play "MEMORIES"??

Ok, so I got this idea from one of my friends blogs and thought it could be fun to hear everyones answers. Here is how it works.....

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LU-LU BUGS! THE BIG #4

My sweet little Londyn is 4 today! Londyn is such an obedient and sweet little girl. Brex & Britt feel lucky to have her as their sis! And I know forsure that Brad & I just adore her. We LOVE you oddles Londyn!

Let me explain one of those pics for those who dont know the story. Yes that is PERMANENT marker all over her legs. Her and Britt had gone into one of Nana's bedrooms to color and this is how she wanted to show her creative side. Not so good at the time, but it makes a great Pic & funny story now:)

Did you know?

Did you know that Brex is a twin? The funny part is that the other twin doesnt even belong to me:))) My friend Larin and I had planned to have babies at the same time, and I ended up beating her by only a few months but we had these cute boys who are both redheads and look so simalar as you can see. His name is Jaxon and then there is my little Brexen.
Larin I am sure you will appriciate this pic:))) She really is one of my BEST friends and I am sad to say that her family moved back to California a little bit ago, so we had to have one last BBQ to hang out. BooHoo I am still sad, but glad to have a super fun place to go to visit now:)
This is her son Dean and Londyn having a sand fight and LOVING it!
Brad and Larin's hubby Dave hanging out where the food is:) Just kidding, but we did have a great time with there family over.
Brittany had a friend named Makenna who was over playing so she got to stick around for the fun.

The bachelorette

Ok so real quick is there any other bachelorette watchers out there???? I need to vent real quick, I TOTALLY CANT BELEIVE THAT SHE PICKED JESSIE INSTEAD OF JASON. Arg!! I cant wait to hear an update of if they will make it to their scheduled wedding date. Needless to say, I think Jason was the better pick. Glad I got that one off my chest.

Fishing

On sat night I went down to the Lymans to visit and Brad got Brex all bathed in his pjs and ready for bed. But when I got back we decided to go and find Ang and Brian who were at the 4th resevoir fishing. We got there right in time for Brex to get to see Brian catch this HUGE fish. ha ha just kidding, it was a little guy, but Brex loved it.
Brex has no fears, he just wanted to grab it befor Brian threw it back.


Brad caught his own fishy! He was definatly just as wiggly!

More FIREWORKS:)))

My dad with his makeshift glasses made out of those glow necklaces.
I guess 10 is a little late for my boys:) they had to take a little nap befor the show. Brad was easy to wake, but Brex was another story. We soooo didnt want him to miss the fireworks I knew he would just love them. And he did, after taking a good 5 minutes of bugging him befor he wolk up. I have to say the the fireworks were the BEST this year!!! what a great show!
Londyn's first sparklers! she did burn her 2 little fingers, but is fine. It was worth the fun.
Angie equally as excited for her sparklers!
Daddy show us how it's done!

FIREWORKS!

Gramps, Daddy & Brex waiting for the fireworks to start. We had those glow stick necklaces that we were playing with.
My cute Bro Blaine, he is 18 and going into the national gaurd in a week. We are going to miss him oddles!!!! My kids LOVE uncle Blainey:)
My cute sis Angela and her hubby Brian. Londyn has found her spot for the fireworks, right in Ang's lap. Poor Londyn was Sooooo tired, Ang said she only lasted through 15 firworks and she asked if she could go to sleep. So she slept the rest of the time in ang's arms.
Brittany nice earings, I think they are just slightly to large, what do the rest of you think? these accually looked preety cool in the dark, we were getting preety creative with these necklaces.

What a cute bunch of girls!!

4th of july part3

A little story behind this shishkabob. Brex was getting hungry and tired of waiting for our food. He was getting in and out of the stroller because we were just sitting in the shade watching the girls doing all the relays. Brad looked at me and said ummm where did Brex get that? I had no idea, he had managed to steel a whole stick of meat. I couldnt tell where it had came from, he knows a good thing when he sees it I guess. There is always hundreds of people in line for those famous sticks, (we just arnt willing to wait that long to get them). Infact a few minutes later he had made a girlfriend who was willing to share a few cheetos:) (jen it was your neice) Brex really knows how to use those baby blues for the important things.
He is showing me that he can fend for himself, he was so proud. The little theif.
Britt & Lindsey went and did the "diving for dollars" they managed to get like $8. Which is preety good for 2 minutes of work:) I do have to say that my mom and I should recive the "mother and grandmother of the year award" we were so HOT HOT HOT and we were still willing to wait for these cuties to do the races in the pool. We were begging them to sprinkle us with water so we wouldnt DIE.
Grams and Londyn while watching Jordon and Kendra play volleyball.

4th weekend part2

Britt, Lindsey and Lexi on top of the float waving.
Uncle Jordon & Aunt Kenz came to the rescue. You would have thought that I didnt feed my kids the way they chowed on Jdogs banana and yogurt. I couldnt believe that they made it to the parade after playing all night until 7:00 that morning in the softball tourney, and then having to run off after the parade to play in an all day volleyball tourneyment. My kids just love them:)
I just thought this pic was so cute of Brex, he was so excited about everything during the parade. He was mimiking all the firetruck and siren noises:)
Britt and Lindsey getting ready for some of the races after the parade. This was all going on while grandpa and grandma were waiting in line for the yummy navajo tacos they were bringing back for lunch. (we were saving are nice shaddy spot) Umm I think that Brad and I got the better end on that one:) thanks mom and dad.
Gosh, I am having a hard time deciding which pics to use. I have so many cute ones. This is Britt and Lindsey, they are preety much inseperable when they get the chance. Linds is Brittany's cousin on the Lymans side, they have so much in common, it is fun to watch them together.

4th of july weekend

Blanding is the place to be for the 4th of july! Our fam always has the best time there. We left early thursday morning and got back sunday night. We spent our first night at the "midnight madness" an all night softball tourney, I think everyone in town was there, it was packed. It was so great to run into some of my girlfriends I havent seen in a super long time. The following morning we went to the parade. The kids loved it this year! Brexen was so excited when the horses came, he was screeching and jabbering a ton. Everyone around us was laughing at him and just thought he was so cute.
Brad, with Londyn & Brex while Britt was IN the parade riding the "Gadiaton Band" float with Lindsey and Lexi.

FLYING ACES girls weekend part 3

Day 2 of our trip we went to park city to spend the day, we went to the "All Star Arial Show" where the olypians did all the jumps and flips in the air off of the jumps, but instead of snow, they land in water. Super great show! It was during this show that I realized my screamer was almost broken:((( I must have cheered and laughed to much the night before. After the show we hit their outlets, and we seriously gave new meaning to the term "shop til you drop" we totally did that! but no kids shopping is rare so we had to get as much in as possible. Infact I did such a great job shopping that I had to take a lrg carry on to haul all of my purchases home in. oooppppsi!
We started out on the grass but got to hot, so we found some shade.
jumpers getting ready to start the show.
I got the whole team to sign this shirt for Brad, I thought he would think this was a cool.
Never know when you might be standing by a white buffalo again so I needed a pic next to it.

TIM MCGRAW CONCERT! girls weekend part 2

We hit the Tim Mcgraw concert with the openers being "half way to hazard" and " jason aldene" Both were really good!
I decided that this concert needed its own post:) We had an absolute BLAST at this concert!!! seriously we laughed harder than anyone else this entire day, and we were tired and this was a perfect way to end the first day together.
we have so many funny stories from this place! Probley had somthing to do with the fact that we were a few of the only sober peep at this place:) we saw a little of everything, dont think that because we were in utah that there wasnt some great partying going on, and yes we were laughing at their expense. ha ha but seriously everyone around us was wasted.
A little Timmy
super cheesy head shots are always great!

Me and my gramps:)
My sisters & my gramp

This past weekend I took an early morning flight to salt lake to spend a totally rad weekend with my sisters and mom. I flew out at 6 & since it is a short flight I was there bright and early. We met up and hit a few stores that we have been wanting to go to. For lunch we met up with my grandpa at the "Myan" great entertainment while you eat! For those who dont know,

there is a big cliff with a waterfall and divers do all sort of tricks of the top and you are like right next to them.
