Halloween costumes

I have been working so hard on my kids costumes this year. The first of the week Mykell started to get sick and I was so worried that it was the Swine Flu. We had soo many plans this weekend, Halloween, Parties, and Elliot's birthday is Monday. Thursday she finally had no fever, but still a bad cough. Thursday night my little guy started getting sick. By Friday morning he was wheezy, and coughing, and had a bad fever. I took him to the doctor (mostly because Port gets really, really bad respiratory problems) and he also thinks we have the flu...NOOOOO! So being the bad mom that I am, I made my sick kids dress up in thier costumes tonight all for the sake of pictures!! This was actually the best little Port felt all night, poor guys! But you have to admit they look pretty darn cute!

Friends and Snow

Mykell has had so much fun making friends this year. She is soo outgoing and LOVES people. These are a couple cute friends that are in our ward. This is the best pictures I could get of the group. Three year olds don't always cooperate with pictures!!
Mykell got sick this Monday. I knew it was supposed to snow on Tuesday and that she would be so sad if she couldn't go outside. Tuesday I let her go all bundled up for just a few min. I know I may be a bad mom, but she had SO much fun!

Sunday dinner


My family gets together most Sunday's for dinner. It is always fun to be together, I really look forward to it. This Sunday, my dad wanted us to take a family picture. My Grandpa was there, and this was the first picture with us all together since befor Porter was born I think! It is just a random picture, and we are all squinting into the sun but nice to have. Then my dad took Porter and Mykell for a ride in the lawn mower. He let Mykell drive and it was darn funny. Thanks Hannah for sending me the pictures!!

Lost in Walmart, ahhhhhh!!


So all you that know me know that I always have a lot of Mykell stories. The girl is CRAZY fun, and well sometimes just plain CRAZY!! Today we were in Walmart (I know the story is bad enough just knowing it is Walmart). Anyways, I was picking out some window cleaner turned around and Mykell was gone. I looked for about 5 minuets and couldn't find her anywhere. I was about in tears when I went up to a women employee. I told her my daughter ran away and that I couldn't find her. She asked for a description. I told her she had long light brown hair, white shirt, and blue pants. She repeated it back to me and said "Okay so blond hair, brown pants and a black shirt" WHAT???? We did this about three times, all the while I was running horrible lost child possibilities through my head. She finally goes up to another employee and says we need to page for a lost child. She has blond hair, brown pants and a white shirt (at least she got the shirt part right!). We were on our way to page, and Mykell comes running up to me and said "I found you Mom, I was playing hide and seek." I have never been so excited to see her in her life. I had been so nervous. I asked her where she was and she said she was hiding behind the toilet paper in boxes, and running up and down by the dresses. I told her I was so scared and was looking for her. I asked her if she saw me looking for her and she said she did, but she was hiding. AHHHHHHHH!! Needless to say we have had a very very long discussion about NOT playing hide and seek in stores. I know that most people have lost kids in stores, but it is really scary. I'm just glad that everything is okay. Now I have yet another Mykell story!!

Corn Maze


We got together with Quincy and Kelli and Radley last Saturday and went to Green Canyon Corn Maze. The kids had lots of fun. Although I think Mykell's favorite part was the mini maze before you go in.

Tony Grove

A few weeks ago we went up to Tony Grove. I didn't know, but Elliot had never been. We packed up a picnic and did a little fishing, and walked around the lake. It was fun, and great weather. We even took Bentley who had a blast!!! Defiantly something we need to do again soon!

Cutest kids in the world


Posted by Picasa

missed 4th of July pics


I found these pictures of the 4th that I hadn't posted yet. Because I wasn't feeling well. Elliot took Mykell to the fireworks, she had a blast. The next day he took both of them to Paris for the parade and fun times with the family. Once again Debbie took some GREAT pictures of my kids!! (p.s. Do I have the best husband or what!?)

The Fair



As I am SOOOO behind in blogging here are some pictures of our trip to the fair. We dodged the weather and had a fun time. Mykell was tall enough to ride a lot of rides. Porter could only ride the carosel, but had a blast with it! We had a little dinner, and saw the animals as well (also a kid pleaser!!). It is so fun to take my kids to placed I had fun growing up. It's like starting all over through them! I LOVE it!

Porter's Birthday

I have gotten SOOO behind in blogging. We once again have had many changes that have happened in our lives, and I am now trying to get caught up. When better that to start than with my little guy's first birthday!! On his birthday he was walking 6 or 7 steps inside. He LOVED swimming at the beach, trying new foods, playing with his sister's toys. He could say mom and dad, dog, ball and bye bye. Oh, and did I mention he is the CUTEST little guy ever!!
