Family photos July 2, 2011

 If you know anything about me, you know that these are the absolute most important people in my life! I live for my family and I would do ANYTHING for any one of them!

 Brock and his girlfriend CJ! She is such a sweetheart and we consider her a part of the family! (hopefully one day she will be)

 Isn't this precious! I love it!

 I wish Grayson would have shown his cute smile in this pic, but I love it anyway!!

 My little brother and my oldest son!! I love it!

 My daddy and my boys! So sweet! My dad is such an awesome Papa and my boys love him so much!

 Oh my goodness! No words... look at those sweet smiles!

 My angel and my animal!! Can you guess which is which??

 I'm just kidding they are both little angels!! But we do call Grayson an animal!

 Such a good uncle!!

 My first born will always have a very special place in my heart! He is definitely a mommy's boy, my little buddy!

 This sweet little thing is developing quite the personality! He gives kisses and loves to cuddle mommy, he is so sweet! But he is also a little wild one, he laughs when I tell him no, he is incredibly determined and fearless, he will yell or growl at me if he gets angry or frustrated. He makes me laugh and keeps me on my toes and I love every minute of it!!!

 OMG!! I love to eat these piggies! He ALWAYS has them curled like this, I think he is part monkey!

 Love this picture! Lenzi came up with this and I think it is awesome!

 I love this one too!

My cute little fam-damily!

LOVE THIS PICTURE!!! The lighting is awesome and the rocks and the trees and the water all look so cool! Great job Lenzi!

 We kept teasing these 2 that they could use these pictures for engagement photos. NO they are not engaged(yet) LOL

This one makes me want to cry!! I love my parents so much! Seriously couldnt ask for better. And after all these years they are still in love! Very rare these days! Arent they so cute!!

CUTE! Love this too!

My whole world wrapped up in one amazing photo shoot! Thank you Lenzi!

My mommy with her Bubba and Booboo!! She is the most amazing Maama EVER!!!

It was a challenge to get all the fam together and find a photographer who was available when we were! I have a friend who lives in Las Vegas, who just happened to be in town for the holiday weekend, so she agreed to meet us at 9:00 am on a Saturday! It was so great to see her again, as we havent seen each other for a long time. She is really new to the photography business and I think she did an amazing job! I love these photos. They are priceless to me. I am a little upset that we forgot to do some of me and my mom together but it was my fault. Next time though.

Anyway check Lenzi out and take a look at her awesome work Thru My Lenz Photography

Daybreak/Extreme Makeover

 So Extreme Makeover:Home Edition is in Daybreak this week. We wanted to go check it out and I really wanted to touch I mean see Ty. I knew I wouldnt see him, but it would be fun if we did.

 This is the house they are building for the family. It doesnt look very big, but it actually wraps around the back and it seems like it will actually be pretty decent sized. It is only 2 streets away from our lot that we are building on.

 Grant thought this was so neat! He was in awe of the big tractors and the crane. We were explaining to him what was happening and why they were doing things. He thought it was pretty neat, and then he got bored. LOL

 They were building the roof trusses right on the side of the road

 No photos??? OOPS!! LOL

 So there is this small little house thing that they are building next door. We were wondering what it was, so I finally just asked someone. It is a mother-in-law's appartment. Pretty nice, if you ask me!

 So we love to go out to Daybreak. Jared and I have dreamed of living out in Daybreak ever since we got married, and we are really excited to be working on that dream now. We enjoy spending time out there. We took Grant's bike and the stroller and went for a walk

 How cute is this happy little guy!

 I just love him so much!

 <3<3<3

 Gorgeous sunset over the lake!

 Oh I love this boy too!

 For me, there is NOTHING better than family time!!!

 This picture makes me laugh, cause this is so Grant! Classic Grant look!

 The faces Gray makes lately are so stinkin funny!

And this is my favorite picture of the day... My baby boy looking up to his big brother!! PRECIOUS!

Little Fishies!

Yesterday Sara (BFF) asked me if we wanted to meet them at the pool today. I told her I would have to see how I was feeling. My anemia has been really bad lately and it is hard for me to do much of anything due to lack of energy. I know it just sounds like an excuse to be lazy right? But Jared and I have learned from past episodes that it can go from bad to REALLY bad REALLY quick. So this morning I was feeling half way decent and I was bound and determined to go swimming with my babies! We had so much fun, but looking back on it now, it probably wasnt a great idea. Anyway...

 I didnt get a ton of great fun pictures because I wanted to get in on the fun and I wasnt going to take my camera in the water with me. Grayson LOVED swimming!!

 I am so proud of Grant! He did so good and wasnt being afraid like he was last year. He was jumping in off the side of the pool in the deep part where he couldnt touch! Last year he wouldnt even put his head under the water and this year I couldnt keep him out!

 This is when we first got there and Grayson was loving kicking and splashing!

 He was a little timid at first but he warmed up really quickly. I was throwing him around and dunking him under the water and he loved it! Had a big cheesy grin the whole time!

 Zoey is a little fishy too! Isnt her swimsuit so cute!

 Grant definitely has a NEW found love of the water!

 Sara's little Oliver is so fun and crazy in the water! He is fearless and carefree! I really hope Grayson will be a little more like Ollie!

 CUTE little stinker!

 Drying off so he can get an ICEE like mommy promised!

 After a few hours of water fun Grayson was tired but still such a happy boy! This little man sure does love life!

And... I got fried! I came home and took some ibuprofen and passed out on the couch for a couple hours. Thank you to Sara for a fun day and thank you to my awesome husband for taking care of the kids and letting me sleep.
