Happy Birthday to my Baby Girl!

So, my baby is now officially 3! I cannot believe she is that old. It is just so sad!

in Memory of Keith

So 2 years ago today we lost a very special person. Today I have been remembering all the fun times that we had.

• Boating- especially when he would try to throw me off the tube by circling his own waves
• Tubing- the funniest time was when he tried a new tube and he lost his shorts somewhere in the water. He had to put on some of my shorts.
• Dating - One time I had a boy come to the door to pick me up for a date and he answered the door in his best Urkel impression. Wow! Embarrassed.......
• Feet - He used to always bug me to give him a foot massage. I don't think I ever did it, his feet were so stinky! He used to bribe Alexis into taking his shoes and socks off after work. Yuck! She would always do it.
• Fishing - he would always bait my pole for me so I could catch fish. Putting the worm on was always so gross! He would do it for me!

We surely miss him!

Family BBQ

I have to start this post with a picture.......... Cody keeps telling us that he will not end up on my blog. So I made it a point to get picture of him just for my blog. Here ya go Cody!!

We had a wonderful, RELAXING afternoon up in the canyon with family! It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon especially after a SUPER busy week. 

Below: The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE Travis!! He teases and plays with them! They think he is pretty neat.

Below: No words necessary.... TROUBLE! :)

Below: Lexi and her favorite cousin Kat.

Below: Silly girl. She wanted to be the target in the net.

Below: Sisterly love! So cute...... (looks like my Mom is going to punch my Aunt.....Hmmm.....)

Below: It was so nice of Derek to play ball with the little ones. He gave it up as soon as someone asked to take over..... no hesitation!

Below: Cole and Cody went for a hike. They made it to the top of the cliff. It doesn't look very high but they were quite high.

Below: Sleeping..........

Cupcake Pops

I made another batch of cupcake pops today. Yummy! 

Convention 2009

Convention is finally over! It was fun but a ton of work! Here is a picture of our team on Thursday with the Build-A-Bear mascot. 

Creative Ash

I could not figure out how Ashlyn kept getting on my Mom's deck out back when the back door has always been shut. Well this is how...........

Convention

So Stampin' Up! has a yearly Convention. This will be my first experience. I am very excited! I can't tell you too much about it except that it is going to be great! I will try and take pictures and post them later. Stay tuned.......

Back to normal life

Dance started this week for both girls! Alexis has class on Monday's and Ashlyn will be on Thursdays. I'm not sure how Ash will do so we are doing a trial for a month to see if she lasts. It will be interesting to see how it goes.
