Piper and Uncle Ammon

We are so blessed to have great friends and family in our lives. We truly are. Josh grew up across the street from the Carter boy's. I know I've talked about them before, but they go beyond just our friends, they are family. It's enriched our lives to have these extra brothers and sister-in-laws (some of whom are my closest friends) and the whole slew of little cousins.
This guy, he's the funny one and we love him! Especially Piper!

Trina and Ammon have a house full of boys! And I love those boys, but they sure need a little girl. This picture melts my heart! I'm not sure who is more smitten, Piper or Ammon?

Michael

So this was a great weekend. Another beautiful weekend to remember always. I got to hang out with all the Carter family for Cole's blessing. Adam and Lindsay came down for the weekend and we love getting to hang with them. They have such cute boys. I didn't even get a picture of Quinton, because honestly I don't think he likes me, but Michael and I sure bonded!

He is possibly one of the cutest babies I have ever seen. Seriously, don't those eye's and cheeks scream cuteness.
He's also one of the most even tempered babies I've had the pleasure of knowing.

I spent a good chunk of Saturday holding him. And it made me happy beyond belief. It made my insides do crazy things and made me lose my mind. Poor Josh has been plagued all weekend with requests to let me have another baby!

Tyson loved him so much, he asked me if he could get another brother.

What a couple of cute boys!

Look at those big baby blues!

We were bored, so of course, we had to take some self-portraits. I like this one best. My gosh, but I like him more! Thanks Adam and Lindsay for making such cute babies and then letting me hold them. It made my weekend! Seriously!! It was so good to see you guys!

Snow, Sweet Babies, & Good Times

First of all, I've decided that I take a ridiculous amount of pictures! 87 pictures in 3 day's. What's a girl to do with that many photo's.

Anyway, we spend the weekend in Salt Lake so that we could attend a baby blessing.
This little guy is scrumptious. I could eat his little cheeks. Seriously! He's pretty cute.

Look at little Micheal checkin' out Josh. I'd be worried too.

I want another baby. Gotta convince that good-lookin' guy that he wants one too!

Got to meet Michelle, who is my brothers girlfriend. I like her alot. She's a darling girl. I won't jinx it by saying what I hope happens, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

Snow, snow everywhere! Snow in St. George, snow in Magna and snow in Marysvale! Of course we had to go out and play in it.

The kids were cracking me up! They were sliding on their tummies across the tramp. I was just waiting for one of them to slide off the trampoline and land on their face. I would have laughed my butt off. Until it was one of my kids and they had a broken arm! Thankfully all arms are intact and the children safe!

Snow angels!

You can barley see my face in this one. I was trying to get a picture and Josh shoved a snowball in my face right when I snapped the picture. Nice!

I LOVE this picture. Piper looks absolutely enchanted and my hubby is looking pretty hot! It's just a darling picture of two of my favorite people :).!

Our Week In Pictures

It's been so busy! Dang, PTO. But it's good. I'm glad I can step up and help out. Lot's of other parents don't, so it's good. My little rant today. Sorry, it's been a bad week for volunteers.

Piper got into my make up and made herself BeaUtiFulL!

Josh took the boys to the Dixie Round Up on Friday Night. They only stayed for an hour and a half! The boys were falling asleep.

J.D. in his elelment!

We went to Salt Lake for the Alisons Pantry food show. It was a blast!! Danny wrecked his car last week and now he's trying to fix his other Monte Carlo, and needed Josh to come help him.

Me & my brother. Why do boys always have to mess around when the camera is out?

We went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Adam, Lindsay, Quinton & Danny. It was a lot of fun. Hanging out in the parking lot after dinner was a blast! Only Adam can make me laugh like that!

See this cute squishy face.........

I love it & I love him!

We played peek-a-boo across the table and bonded!

Me & Quinton.

made me miss my kiddo's and I was sure glad to come home to them.

Thanks to Maggie & Eric for watching my brood while we were gone!

4th of July BBQ

We got invited to go over to a BBQ at the Olsen's house. Josh is a friend of Josh's. Does that make sense? Ammon and the 2 Josh's went to High School together. They hadn't seen each other in quite a few years and so it was fun for them to get to hang out. Charly, Josh's wife is so sweet and so nice. We had a great time!

What a good-lookin' bunch! Alway's have a blast when we hang with the Carters.

My good-lookin boys. They were running away from Ammon. All the boys were throwing snaps at Ammon and having a great time.

I thought this was a pretty good picture. Trina was snapping pictures when I wasn't looking. Thanks though, I kinda like it.

Piper and Caleb spent the whole weekend flirting with each other. What am I going to do when they all grow up and realize, they aren't really cousins???????

A couple of pyro's.

This was freakin' awesome. The boys were putting the worms in a big circle and then starting them all on fire. The kids kept saying it looked like the road was pooping. I don't know about that, but it was pretty cool.

Caleb, J.D. & Tyson just taking a break.

I love this kid. Corbin and Josh having a squeezing contest to see who could hug the hardest. I think Josh won. Look how red Corbins face is.

Fishing on the 4th

We didn't catch a dang fish. Not one! But we sure had a lot of fun. Trina and Ammon came up and went fishing with us and had a picnic at the lake. The kids sure have a lot of fun when they are together.

Corbin, J.D. & Caleb hanging out under the canopy, stuffed full of hotdogs and chips!

Piper giving J.D. a little friendly encouragement.

Josh and Ammon sitting lakeside. Josh is shooting fireflies with the bb gun. He's a total redneck if you didn't know.

Trina had this awesome hat in her van and Piper loved it. She was being so cute with it.

J.D. & Corbin. J.D. was teaching Corbin how to shoot.

Oh my...... This picture would make any mom worry. 3 boys plus 2 guns equals TROUBLE!

Piper loves Aunt Nina. Most of my pictures are courtesy of Trina. You really should go into photography Trina!

Shooting butterflies. The most accomplished moment of motherhood! He can't help it. The redneck is in his blood.

Simply darling!

Kids love to throw rocks in the lake. It wouldn't be a fishing trip without throwing a few dozen rocks.

Nothing in the world can beat hanging out with family.

He sure tried his hardest, but the dang old fish just weren't biting.

A Birthday Party

Aarons birthday is April 28th. Every year we try to get all of us together inbetween his birthday an mine to celebrate! I still can't believe we will be 30 next year. Blows my mind! I may act 30, but Aaron certainly does not. Nor does my husband who is close behind us. Anyway, there was lots of food and lots of fun as always!

A bunch of people, who ireally love!

We all scream for icecream!

I love this kid!

The boy's got a scowl just like his dad. Though, he is much cuter than his dad!

Josh and Aaron with tenn is rackets. That's a scary thought. They were actually trying to hit me, Adam and Ammon with tennis balls. Josh told Aaron he would give him five bucks if he could hit me and that was how it all started.

I love this picture. It's stinkin' cute!
