Boating!

Sunday was AWESOME! We went with Debbie and Donny (Lance's parents) to Hyrum Dam and played in the water! Above is the craziness --just at Walgreens!

Chaedon and Milly-Kisses!

Token-self-shot!

More craziness at Walgreens.

...And more.

YAY! A boat picture! We loaded up and as soon as Ella got on, she changed her mind and was determined to get off again... We made her stick it out, and she came around when the ride was over! Donny scared the be-jeebes out of her with the previous water-weenie ride!

OKAY! Donny scared the be-jeebes out of me too last time! I didn't even bother with water-friendly clothing. I really am still freaked out to get back in! So here's Lance and Chaedon on the tube.

Lance after the ride. ...The tube was "brutal" and smacked their feet, their faces, and other manly parts that made it rather unpleasant...

M'boyz!

Later, Chaedon rode a few different toys by himself.

Mia was my little trooper! She rode and enjoyed herself thoroughly -without saying a word!

There's a happier Ella!

Me all wind-blown on the boat! GOOD TIMES!

Thank you Donny and Debbie! It was a blast! :D

The Fam

I was editing some pictures the other night and thought I'd post. ...Too beautiful!

Happy Birthday Sabrina!

WARNING: BAZILLIONS O' PIX! The "button" party wound up with minimal buttons, but lots of fun. What can I say? I have a long way to go when it comes to party planning and making it exceptional... :)

Here's the birthday girl on the new toy from Lance's parents -who were unable to make it to the party. She is CRAZY about it!

These are the delightful peanut butter cookies with Rolo candies! YUMO! (The cookie whisperer strikes again!)

Breakfast!

Yes, this is Sabrina's cake. I made it myself, with lots of love, however, it does look kinda sad. Oh well!

Here's Bri opening gifts! This is an awesome toy guitar! *Thanks Candace!

See? Sabrina doesn't care what it looks like! Look at the anticipation of attacking that pink stack o' love!

Happy baby!

Sistas! Here's Auntie Sarah and Auntie Rachael!

After the par-tay, we headed to my Mom's house to hang for the afternoon. Above is Mia with her favorite snack -a "na-na".

We chilled on the porch for a few hours... Rachael's husband Seuao and Lance went golfing so we played with kiddos. Here's Rachael with Dave and Lexie's little man Noah.

Token self-shot!

The boys came back and Lance commenced yard-wrestling. EVERY kid's favorite activity!

Lance and Mia-babes.

Here's Sabrina playing with my necklace (aaah, motherhood). The new outfit is from Sarah! CUTE for fall!

My hunny.

Here's my beautiful 1-year-old birthday girl sporting an outfit from Mary (THANKS!), and a darling headband from Lexie (THANKS!)!

I absolutely adore this little baby, and can't believe how fast she's growing up. I am too blessed.

To Dave's, To Dave's!!!

Last Sunday we headed to Layton for a fun surprise Birthday celebration for my awesome brother David!!! Here's my token self-shot in the car!Sleeping baby!

Sleeping Ella and Mia!!

The party was Lex's invention -it really did surprise Dave when the whole family showed up on his door step on a Sunday night! Here's Lexie with Phoebes... Phoebe is getting RED hair, and we're all lovin' it!

Cute Sarah with a very tired and attached Sabrina who isn't thrilled -and Mia who is trying to help!

Gorgeous Rachael! Kiddo free in this pic! Go figure!

Ella chipped in on keeping Sabrina entertained!

The BIRTHDAY BOY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!!!

We all ate and visited. It was awesome. Left to right: Ella, Lily, Noah, Benny (behind the flowers), Mia, and Lexie's back.

Lancey-cakes and Benny-babes. *So cute!

Lovely shot of Sarah and Mom... BTW, thanks for lettin' me steal some pix, Mary!!

Some of the crowd :) Left to right: Dad, Mia, Sabrina, Lexie, Benny, Seuao, Granny, Rach, and Me with my arm up to my face.

My BRI-BRI!!! *Pic taken the actual day before her birthday! Exactly one year from this picture I was screaming. Good times!

Totally worth it.

I love you Dave -thanks for having us!
