5 Little Monkeys

This picture was taken after an afternoon of swimming in a lake and tubing. I love this shot because it shows all 5 of my little babies sleeping. When I look back in my rear-view mirror and I see all these seats full, it makes me think "Look at all that hard work I did to get them here." I love seeing my car full. Which in turn means my heart is full too..............

Birthday #33---ouch.

We had a small b-day celebration on Sunday. My brother Clint and his family came over. Travis and I went out the night before for a fun date. I had imagined our date would be walking hand in hand into my favorite stores, but instead it was hand in hand to Home Depot and Lowe's! Not my ideal birthday date, but we were in the middle of building a BBQ and had to have it picked out by that night. Either way I loved being able to get away and spend a night alone with my man.

33yrs

Notice Drew. He is ticked it's not his b-day. Hang on, only 3 more months little man.

First Day of School

The first day of school came early this year. August 17th, at 8am in the morning. The kids were super excited. Drew was feeling left out, so he asked for his picture to be taken too.

always see in back of the reporter waving like crazy!

It was a great day at the beach....as always.

Happy Birthday!

Travis and Paige (my sister-n-law) are only a day apart in age Aug 8th/9th. We decided to have them over and celebrate their 34th b-day. A funny story about them is, before Travis knew me at Ricks, he danced with Paige at one of the school dances. Little did they know they would be related forever!

Brown Reunion

We had a Brown reunion in Monticello UT where my sister Jenna lives. We went camping for three nights at a really nice camp ground. Each family got a little cabin, and the older kids slept in tents. We never saw the kids and deer walked around like stray cats out there. It was so beautiful. It's such a comfortable feeling to be with family. I loved being with everyone.

This is a picture of Kamryn on the ride home. Notice the towel underneath her. Yep, diarrhea. She got it the morning we were starting our 12 hour drive to CA. Let's just say we had to take a handful of exists in the middle of no where to change her diaper, oh and the towel = death.
