Shaylor walks

I've been wanting to add video of Shaylor walking for a while. We're still working on downloading video files from our video camera to the computer. I know it's possible because we did it once. I can however take them from my phone so... not amazing quality but hopefully now Laura has proof that Shaylor isn't a walking sumo. :)

Gone for the summer

Doug, Chamrie, and Bryan are all gone for the summer. They are working in Denver and will be gone for four months. I can't believe they really left...so weird.
I keep trying to add pictures of Lauren's new glasses and something comes up. We took this one at my friend Krista's wedding; May 2nd in Las Vegas. It was way fun. Lauren loved checking out all the fun things in the yard. like a waterfall, swimming pool, mini golf, and of course the ladybugs were a bi hit with the kids too!!!

NEW BIKE!!!


Lauren has officially potty trained and earned her new bike!! She went seven days straight without an accident. There have been a few incidents but she has proven that she can do it and that makes all the difference in the world. We are so proud of her for taking this big step! :)

ladies man




I just had to show these cute pictures of my little flirt. Breanna kissed him with some colored lipgloss and it was so cute I went nutts with the camera. :)

4 years old


I can't believe Lauren is four years old. She's growing up so fast. Sh'es such a good big sister and a great help to me. I love to watch her learn and grow, and she just loves her baby brother. He just thinks she's the coolest thing ever. :) She's also becoming quite the photographer. She's been taking quite a few pictures herself. it's amazing all of the things that she can do.

photo shoot




These are just a couple of cute pictures I took about a month ago. I take so many pictures with our new camera that it's hard to pick favorites. I need to add quite a few to shutterfly but our internet connection is having serious issues. I'm lucky to do anything without being kicked off lately. We hope to replace our internet very soon.

New Year

Well it's a new year!!! last year was quite eventfull beiing our first in the addition and with the addition of Shaylor to our family. It's so fun to watch Lauren and Shaylor grow and learn new things. We had a great Christmas with the Judds with waking up in our own house between visits to "Goona". Then we had fun in Nephi as the celebration continued through the weekend. Our little incident on the way to nephi was rather eventfull as well as we hit a patch of ice and flipped around facing the car next to us and ending up in the median. the nice thing was that Lauren is used to me "playing" in the snow so it didn't even faze her. Shaylor slept through the whole thing including having Russ and Jason get stuck trying to get us out and having to have the state trooper call the tow truck on us. I've never had flares set up for my own vehicle before. It was insane but we were quite blessed that it wasn't worse than it was. Other then that Christmas went well. It was great to spend time with the fam including Jason and Laura who traveled the farthest.
I have ton's of pics now on my shutterfly account for people to check out. I'll try to stay more updated...no promises though. Way fun to finally have a camera again after ours...well...went for a swim. Anyway, Shaylor is awake so I'll try to update pics soon.
