In just 7 days.....

Girls Camp will be here!! For months and months I have been helping to plan girls camp....I am so excited that it is almost here. It has definatly been an amazing spiritual experiance just planning and I can't wait to see everything unfold!!
Here are some pics from last year......me with my friends....and gross Sister Davis!




Our theme this year is Sweet is the work. And the stake staff call themselves the peeps....too fun!!



And here is a little story about yesterday....we were at the mall playing at the playplace....they both decided to run away at the same time. They think it is so fun and just giggle and run fast. One ran to the jewerly store and the other ran in the opposite direction into Sears. I was running so fast after A and picked her up and ran to get L.
It really scares me that they can get taken or lost....so you know me....I went and bought these....(The Elmo $5.00 version at Wallyworld)

If they choose to run away they get to be harnessed. I feel a little bad but with 2 what am I to do?

My day......

Started like this....along with some happy mother's singing from my sweeties.

then a little nap....Church....

and then this....Stuffed pork tenderloin with twice baked potatoes.

YUM!

Many hugs and kissses were shared and I didn't even change one diaper or wash one dish. My sweetie makes me feel so special...and I got to do my favorite thing!!

Get some cute pics of my little ones!!





Trying out a new vintage film action.....what do you think?




I hope all of my special friends and family felt loved and special too....because all of you are special to me.

Happy Mother's Day MOM!

My mom came and stayed with me for 3 weeks when the girls were born. I would sleep and she would take care of them....I coudn't have done it without her!


My mom is such a special person in my life. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father sent me to her. She is so kind, fun, friendly, giving, patient, hard-working, loving, compassionate and many more things. My life would not be the same without her. I love you MOM!!
Hope your day is perfect!
I need to take some more recent pictures of her and the girls...here are some from when the girls were little.

Birthday Festivities

We had a great birthday weekend. It started on Friday....I babysat Ma's kids and the girls one by one took off their diapers and wanted big girl panties...they just looked so cute and big I had to take a picture. Of course they all had accidents and we were back in diapers soon after this picture. But Liv seems to be getting it and did all her poops on the potty today. Fun....





That night we went out on a date. My sweet sis-in-law Ali watched the girls. We went to the amazing Cafe Rio and got a salad...YUMMIE!! We then did a little shopping and went and saw "Ironman" which was good. It's so fun to be together and walk around holding hands with my lovie.




I know this looks crazy but I LOVE Crocks!! I started wearing them when I was preggo with the girls and had to buy myself some new sandals for my b-day. And the black pair next to the sandals were on clearance so I bought those too. The styles are getting cuter don't you think? Anyways they are my fav!!


This is my present from Doug. I came home from Thatcher a few weeks ago and Doug had redone my kitchen table. I bought this material like a year ago and have been talking about re-upholstering(sp) my chairs for a while. Well he surprised me with new stain and beautiful new chairs. So sweet. That's just like Doug to listen to what I am saying and then do it! This is my b-day and mother's day present. I love it!




Here we are on our actual b-day. Me and the girls had just awoke from a nice nap and earlier in the day we made doug his favorite cake. Jello cake~ yum! Doug had to work and I wasn't feeling well but the day ended up great. Our friends Eric and Alicia brought us some gifts and ice cream. Yay for a fun weekend.



YAY for another year of health and happiness!!

San Tan Splash Park

Don't you love his expression? So cute!




The other day we met my Sister-in-law Christi and one of her sons and at the San tan splash park at the San Tan mall. It was a little cold and I forgot towels....doh!! I had to go buy some $10 towels at the Disneystore....oh well. We had a great time with our cute cousin Jonah. It was fun and free and we will go check it out again this summer....anyone want to come with us?

Country Thunder.....Then and Now

Dougie got some free Country Thunder tickets last weekend. We trecked it out to Florence to see Billy Ray Cyrus, Kelli Pickler and Dirks Bently.
I wouldn't normal care to go to concert of these guys but for free...why not! The music was ok but the atmosphere was horrible! Smoking, driking, dirty dancing, swearing, puking.....I felt like it was Hell on earth. I'm so glad this is not the lifestyle we choose to lead.

Here is a fun part to the story....almost 9 years ago to the day, Doug took me to Country Thunder for our 18th birthday. We saw Faith, and met Toby Keith and John Micheal Montgomery. We have such fond memories of that time together...it was fun to kind of re-live it.

It was a great way to spend a date night....love you honey!








This picture is just horrible of both of us...this was taken on the night we got home from the concert...it was late and we were tired...hence the horrible faces! Just wish we would have appriciated those H.S. bodies!

Another Roomie Reunion

This is my next set of Amazing roomies. I lived with these cute girls after I moved out of the other appartment. I lived in Downtown Mesa with these girls and loved every minute. We had a great little house in the historic district. We had many late night talks in our jammies and lots of brownie eating. The fun part was our heights.
Cami is 6'3 I am 5'11 and Jen is 5'2ish(Sorry Jen I can't remember)
We met at Jen's house a super yummy dinner and chatting....which is sometimes hard to do with my kiddos!
Thanks for an awesome time girls....
My cute friend Jess scanned these for me......thanks so much! It's fun to look back at skinnier days!

At Jen's house

Jen's daughter Jocelyn....she is such a cutie and has the most amaizng eyelashes...click on the picture to see!

Taken on my bed up late one night....


Luv you girls!

Just for Me.....

I have missed taking pictures of my girls lately. So during my nephews 6 month pictures I snapped a few of the girls. They were super uncooraperative and I bribed them with fruity marshmellows. I was sweating bullets at the end of this. Despite it all, I got a few. I know I will look back on these times with fondness. These were taken in my garage with me new backdrop....( I want more of these things...)

And a fun little update.
Doug has been in Business One month and the 1st's month's profits aren't too shabby. Go Dougie!
I'm getting ready for camp....next month will be a busy one. Also have been shooting alot and sadly having to turn people away b/c I am too busy.
Liv's new saying...."Oh Mom, I had an idea...."
Audree was huggin all of her friends at kids club today the whole time. It was so cute. And she came home and pooped on the potty....what a big girl.





I swapped a head....can you tell which one? :)

A few days with Lisa....Haircuts....and cousins!

I went to Thatcher to spend a few days with Lisa while she was there. We stayed out in Solomon with the Herringtons. My parents were in the Bahamas....(Lucky)
Lisa cut the girls hair and I just love their new dew's! We had a great time on the farm watching the cows poop and petting the horses. Also playing in water( wish I could share the pics....but they were naked):)
I just love lisa and we stayed up late talking and running around with our little ones. Thanks for hosting us Nona!


Before......










After....








Could you jusy die!!! I just love her new cut!!!



We stopped by my sis-in-laws Renee's. She watched them while I took some pics. The girls loved playing with them.

Playing with Cousing Koby....A loved playing with him.
