Our {family} Pictures

I am so blessed to have such a great Family!! I wouldn't change a thing, it can be a little exsausting!! Although those times make the Best Times Greater!!! I want to thank my friend Dayna who took our pictures for us, they are FANTASTIC!! The best part is seeing the Personalities jump out of the pictures!! Well hope you enjoy them, LOVE YOU ALL!!

How do you get ANYTHING in your cart?? GEEZE!!

So basically, we had to go to the store. By the time I got to Walmart, Jake was gone...so I had to carry him in, Sophie in the other arm. He was so fast asleep that he was falling off my shoulder, and HE IS GETTING HEAVY!! I almost dropped him a couple times. Anyway, here is what happened when I finally got in. How in the world do you do any grocery shopping, and Use the cart with 2 kids??? Excpecially when they have to BOTH be in the cart????

The only room I had was in the seat, where Jake was SUPPOSED to be. Good thing I didn't need to get alot!!

It's Raining it's Pouring!!

So Bittersweet, I really enjoy Rain. Not that I really love that that is the only weather that Utah has Decided to produce the Last Couple Weeks. Jake, Sophie, and I have all had Cabin Fever. I really try to get out as much as I can, but rain will only allow so much. So on day I decided to go grab something to eat, and thought Jake might be able to Play on the Indoor toys to get some energy out!! So we took him to Carl's Jr, when we got there I didn't think that he would want to play on it ( it was kinda big). He Did though, I did have to help him up the step things they have. Which really made me realize just how old I am getting, I climbed up with him, and HOLY MOLY!!! Needless to say I got worn out, and Jake didn't want to leave and I was POOPED!! But I know what to do on rainy days now...Indoor Park!!

And Between RAINY DAYS, a 80 Degree Day WHAT?!?

So to Celebrate, 7 Peaks HERE WE COME!! Last summer Jake didn't Love the water, This Time...He loved it. I took him down the Tube Run, which made me Happy, and Sad. I was happy I could enjoy the park a little more with him, BUT it reminded me that he is getting SO STINKIN' Old!! Sophie on the other hand LOVED the water. I had gotten her a cute hat, which she had in her mouth most of the time. Yay, what a fun summer to look forward to!!

Zoo Trip # 2

So my cousin was in town, YAY!!! I woke up Monday morning trying to decide what to Do??? Well at about Noon, I called over and invited her to go to the Zoo with us.

She accepted AND:

*Borrowed my Mom's Van

*Picked Up Carseats

*Piled in 2 Strollers

*Put Easton (3) in the Back Corner Seat

*The two Littlest Next to him in the

Back Seat

*Jake in the Middle Seat Next to *THE MISSIONARY*

*And was off by 1:30

WHEW!!

My Cousin Jesse was home on medical leave, and

had to be with a family member. He was a trooper to tag along!! Just Picture it Here is the Back of the Van!!! Once again WHat a TROOPER!! The worst part was SOPHIE, she probably gave him a headache on the way back....Because she was screaming basically the WHOLE WAY!! Sorry Jesse, My Apologies!

Here is the Rest of the Trip!! It was quite the day. At the end we went on the Carousel, Jake was Acting MAD at me, but I kept hearing (really Quiet, as for me NOT to hear) Wee Wee, as his Tiger was going UP and Down!! It was kinda FUNNY!

Super Slide

So, I never really let Jake run around Naked...That said, I had fed him (he fed himself) Yogurt,and he made a HUGE MESS. Which caused me to have to strip him, it was a disaster!! Then I had someone come to the door, and he escaped!! This is when it all began...

Jake: AHHHHHHHHHH!! (Runs to one side of the yard)

Me: Come here Hunny.

Jake: AHHHHHHHHHH!! (runs to the other side of the yard)

Jake: ...(running to the slide)

Me: Ok just go down one time, and we will go in.

Jake: (Soggy Socks Smacking the Sidewalk)

Jake: two...treee...go!!

Jake: Whoa!!!! HaHaHa

It was really funny, and I was laughing when I had realized I caught him at the bottom of the slide...the picture was PRICELESS!!!

Not to Mention the SUPER CRAZY SOGGY DIAPER, Sorry you all had to witness this!!

Kelly Clarkson Concert!

My mom got us Tickets to go to the Kelly Clarkson concert, and WE WERE SUPER EXCITED!! Charlie had to work at the concert doing UVU Police stuff (crowd control). So we both got to go. And Lucky for us it started to rain, ok well it rained all day, so we were a little worried. But we were going to go RAIN OR SHINE!!! We went out to eat at the Olive Garden before we went. It stayed Clear for most of the night it started to rain right when Kelly came out on the stage, but only lasted long enough to get all the blankets wet. Which was fine, because we were up "dancing and singing" We definitely enjoyed ourselves, and it was fun to get out with my sisters, and mom. We don't get to very often, our schedules are just too busy!!

Sophie's Blessing

Such a great day, and I actually got pictures...I forgot to get them of Jake. Oops!!  Anyways thanks to all those who came and enjoyed the day with us, and helped out with Lunch!! It is always nice to have family around for such occasions!! Love you all!

Our High Energy, RUN EVERYWHERE Kindof Kid!!

So Basically Jake {RUNS EVERYWHERE}, he doesn't believe in walking anymore. So consequently we have {LOTS} and when I say lots, I'm Not Kidding...of accidents. He trips on toys, Maggie {our dog}, and most of the time {his FEET}.  So this is his first {Black Eye}, and i am sure there are more to come. 

What happened was this:  Saturday Morning he was playing, and we called him into his room to get dresses. As I stated above {HE RAN} down the Hall, tripped on a Jacket on his floor and Smashed his face on the side-rail of his bed. Sunday morning I thought I would {die} when I got him up because it was so stinkin' {dark}. I was a little embarrased to take him to Church looking like he had got out of line, and I punched him or something. After church, he was playing on the back {pourch} and he  bumped his lip, Split it open, and GOT a {huge} fat Lip!!! So, now you know, and I do too that I am in for it this Summer.  He is not going to get through it unscathed I am Sure of it.  It is not uncommon for him to {NOT} have some sort of Bump, bruise, or some other form of Injury to his face.  I know I will jinx myself by saying this, but since his Black{eye} went away, he hasn't had ANYTHING on his face.  Or an accident that caused any lasting Damage. {enjoy}

Just a little Sad too that I couldn't find any Boxing Gloves to get a few Pictures when He looked so {tough}.
