Lovin my life...

It's raining... It's pouring!

Family Dinner at the Park!

My brother's family from Joseph City was in town, so we got together at the park one evening and had dinner. My grandparents from Flagstaff were also here. I love family get togethers!

Kemilee, Kaylee, and Haylee

Uncle Travis and Nash

Happenings at Home...

hahaha.. I love when Maci feeds Nash because she can't keep her mouth closed!

Timothy, Samantha, Nash, and Maci. (These baby cousins are only 2 days apart!)
TUCSON ZOO

I took my kids to Tucson and met my sister in law at the zoo. I love that place and so do my kids. We enjoyed a couple hours there and then went shopping and to dinner. It was a great day!

This is one of my favorite pictures of all times!

FAMILY time

Wayne was so sweet to bring me roses on V-day! I love that guy!

Nash is so fun and happy all the time!

This was Hanna's Valentine's day party in her kindergarten class. Me, Ashley Scorse, and Hope Lofgreen planned the parties this year. I love being in my kids classes!

UPDATES

I am trying to catch up so I can keep my blog current. I love to print it out into a book and use it for my journal.. Here are some of the things that happen in January and February in our family...

My handsome boy! (poor kid is surrounded by girls stuff!) 7 months old
Deanne's family came to town for Haylee's baptism and the girls loved being together again!

HAYLEE's BAPTISM

Grandma and Pop got Haylee these white roses

Our family before the baptism. This was such a special day! A day I will never forget! I can't believe my oldest is old enough to be making such a huge choice! She is such a great girl!

We had so much support from family. Here are my girls with some of the Layton cousins.

I couldn't hold back the tears when Haylee and Wayne met in the baptism water (which was freezing)! I love these two people so much!

My brother took some pictures for us after the baptism. I love the quote/song on this one. It's perfect!

We had lunch at the Arden Palmer's building with family before the baptism.

FAMILY FUN!

Before church one Sunday! I feel so blessed to be these kid's mom!

Cousins in Gilbert

My girls adore Wayne! They are normally fighting over who gets to sit by him,

or ride in his car, etc.

Nash started this new thing where he crinkles his nose.. it is so funny!

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY HAYLEE!

I told Haylee should could pick anywhere to go for lunch on her birthday.. She picked La Casita.. My family thought I chose because I love this place.. but it was Hay's choice! I was happy about it! :) Lots of my family met us there!

We went to Gilbert on Haylee's birthday and grandma had this sign set up!

STEVEN AND KAMI MOVING!

Steven and Kami had to move back to Mesa in order to finish school! It was a sad day for us! We used to see them a lot and enjoy being with them so much! We already miss them!

This is Haylee and Jake. (Nash and Jake are exactly 4 weeks apart!)

I love this picture of Maci and Addie. They are such good friends. I'm so glad we live close enough for them to get to play together a lot!

Christmas!

I know this is 2 months late, but since my blog is for journaling purposes.. Here it is....
Christmas night

babies all over... these 5 cousins are within 4 months of eachother!!

Maci wanted lipgloss and lotion this year... I think she got a year supply worth!

Hanna asked Santa for littlest pet shop!

Haylee asked for an ipod.... she doesn't know the difference between that and an MP3 player! :)

Love the feeling in the home at Christmas time!

I collect nativities.. We have over 20! They are so fun to put up every year!

Christmas PJ's

Santa got chocolate milk this year!

Maci and Addie helped Hanna be Mary for our family nativity.. quite original!

I love these two boys!

... what to do?....

I started adding names of friends and family (we both have huge families)... and it only allows 100 people to be invited if you go private.. so for now, we are not going private...
Also I am so frustrated because I have typed about 100 emails more than twice and they get erased when I try to save them.. I'm sick of trying! So if any of you know how to invite more than 100 or have any suggestions.. let me know!

I'm working on it!

I'm trying to go private... but wondering if I can just add contacts in from my yahoo account instead of adding each email individually?? Anyone know?
