Happy Big 12 Cole...so many fun things happening....young men's activities, boy scout outings, camp Geronimo, passing the sacrament, the beginning of the teenager hormones in action....it's all fun times around here! We love our Cole....he's a really fabulous babysitter!

I wasn't able to get one with them doing a serious smile.....we make it work

This is how I feel my life is running these days.....crazy and moving in all different directions!...wouldn't have it any other way

And then there's the little guy who just chills in his chair when he's not being held.....this...I'm sure.... will not last for long ;) Pretty soon he'll be up and running just like the rest of them..

Yes, I'm pretty certain it's noon and they're both still in their pajamas.....but whatever!...I'm still in stretchy elastic pants.....who's worried?!

ANOTHER UPDATE:

Here's the old man chillin with his homie.....

Cash looks a little "out of it" but I guess that's what happens when you spike his drink..;)

The first and the last....knock on wood....I better watch myself, since I said that after Crew too!

Oh but what would we be without this little nugget?!

Oh the accomplishments...you go boy! My little star

That's my guy.....ALL BUSINESS!...That's just how he rolls....

For those of you who didn't know yet....Cash made his appearance.......2 weeks ago....I've just been sooo busy with all the napping, eating, sitting on the couch, watching t.v., walking aimlessly around the house to even have time to post any pics! It's been rough ;)

Yep, there's me in my hospital glory with the fab 5....

Just chillin

Here's giggly boy......no, he's not naked...he does have his underoos on....

that's Paul's arm

Here's Cash...wondering at that moment if he came home to the right family.....what cracks me up is Clay's skull pants and Crew's one eye in the background

Welcome Cash.....home of the "crazies"....it's going to be GREAT!

Yay......thanks to my sister Kara and her new hubby Ryan, I can blog something....since these are the newest photos I have that I stole from her facebook..... besides Easter (which I haven't downloaded)....ummhmmm I know I'm so motivated!

Here's a few of my favorite girls!

Look at those good lookin creatures!

I think I scared a few of the guests!...oh well that's how I roll!

He stopped in the middle of his dancing to give his "fancy" smile

Cade was REAL comfortable on the dance floor..work it! work it! So proud...wait, look a tear rolling down my cheek...:)

Kara and Ryan.....may your lives be blessed with joy and happiness! And as much as I mean those words, it was hard to not laugh while I wrote them! You guys are awesome!

IDLE RANDOMNESS

I found these random pics that the kids took on their cheap camera.....I think my kids take more pics and videos of each other than I do...thank goodness...if it wasn't for them their childhood might be lost because I'm too lazy to get the camera..

Yet another reason I will not be nominated for mother of the year!

I think the rice krispies are eating him and not the other way around

They grow up way too fast

I'm not sure what's going on in this video clip, but it certainly made me laugh.....my quiet, calm Clayton gettin jiggy with it

Okay, so it's been awhile since my last post.....this picture kind of wraps up how the holidays were for us.....fun, crazy, and not all together "there"!

Instead of posting all my holiday pics and shenanigans like I should I'm just going to dedicate this post to Crew's BIG 4th B-day!

BLAST FROM THE PAST!

My sister sent this to me that she found on her camera......

oh the cute little munchkins they were....before the chiclet teeth! Of course this was probably taken right before a brawling match between the two...oh the innocence of a picture!

Better late than never....right?! At least it's before Thanksgiving!

This is the first year that Crew would keep a costume on...exciting times

Cade was a little bummed that the "ride" was not that exciting....."this sure isn't like Disneyland"......keep in mind as they rode off, his hands were up in the air like he was on a roller coaster

The Halloween get along gang at the ward party

These came in a little blurry.....but you get the picture

We might have traumatized our children with our costumes this year.....but it's all in good fun!.......... There's always therapy....I was just about ready to post this when I noticed the temple picture in the background....hmmmm are there any rules about cross dressing?!

RATED PG-13 FOR VIOLENCE:

I had to shake my head when I came back from grocery shopping to find

this "setup" that Paul made

I'm pretty sure Cade was kinda into this...just guessing

Further evidence of why I will never be Mother of the Year.....

Whenever I download my pictures I will find pics and videos that the kids have "constructed"

Long Overdo....Happy September Birthdays to Clayton and Caden!

Of course there was probably a cuter picture of the boys, but why put that one on when there's this fabulous "morning" photo

Bounce U exhaustion

Paul always takes it too far

Who wouldn't want to take one of these kids home?!....precious....each one!

My sweet Aunt Sue and Uncle Dan invited us to their place in Rocky Point.....

Forget Disneyland, I'm pretty sure the beach is the happiest place on earth!

First off, we have Pancho Villo here holding a stingray.....gotta love the $6 glasses...HOT!

The kids were ready to hit the ocean for some fishing...in the back is their cousin Kai

I'd like to say I did the fading around the pic on purpose for "effect", but no it's my crappy camera....this was Cole and Kenna's favorite spot...the quad

Here's Pancho again doing what he does best....manual labor

You can't deny the smiles....that's if you can make them out through the fogginess of the picture....they were real I tell ya!

Since I haven't taken any pics lately, I'll show you some treasures that the kids like to take pics of.....

They just had to download this pic because it was so cool....I heard about it for days!

So this is one of the Halo guys situated on the "camouflage bedspread" for

added effect..awesome

Yes, those are his Sunday shoes...he's always up for gettin fancy

LET FREEDOM RING (until 2:15 at least)......Almost...Crew and I are still bosom buddies for a few years, but how can I complain when he's as cute as he is! :)

The weekend before school started, we headed to Pinetop for a family reunion....a very good time!

Here's Cade with his fabulous cousin Blayke!

That would be Paul and Cade......this is a picture of what he'll look like driving in the future when he's 85 (Cade that is)

Crew just loved sweet little Navy.....always saying, "Mom, I need to hold the baby now!"

Okay so this video cracks me up for so many reasons....hear are a few......

1) Do I really sound like that? Ugh!

2) Am I always that bossy?

3) Really Crew.....fingers?! Let's be done....it's killing me!
