gwennie

Gwen is hilarious. She was pissed that she couldnt fit in the little drawer after dumping out her toys. She tried for thirty min to get in there.

 

 

Helping dad with the stud finder. She thought she was so cool walking around the house hitting the walls.

 

She has taken over poor Chewys bed. Who knew tile floor was so nice to lay on>!???

 

She wants to feed herself. She uses the spoon for about two bites and then its all over.

 

One day I was driving..who am I kidding? we live in the car half the day! Well I gave her two...yep TWO m&M's to keep her quiet and this is what I got in return.

katelynn turns 10

Yep this is from aug..I am that far behind!

Katelynn had a cupcake bday. They all had fun designing...and eating!

lake powell

we had an amazing trip to lake powell this year. THANKS DAD AND MOM!!!!!!!   Im so glad that my kids were able to experience and see such an extraordinary place and bonus spending time with family. Since we all live so far away its great to spend a week together even if it's a little crazy as the family is getting bigger...three babies on a boat is a bit of a challenge but well worth it!

gwen had to give everyone hugs

no boat trip is complete without a barbie wedding (we even received an invitation)

yep the boat can fit in there! crazy huh...but oh so fun

gwen would steal collins food..collin would steal zacks food..and poor zack he was trying to just hold on to anything he could.

do we pose or what?!

even if i didnt get a good pic she had so much fun playing in the sand with kylee

richard has the pic with everyone///and the rest of the trip

. my camera was about to die so this is almost the whole group :)

put to sleep where u can. I love that the new thing on this trip was hold on to something. Whatever she had as she was getting tired she would not let go. I even tried to take this purse out of her hand and she started to wake up. Cant let someone take your purse!

fish feeding

lyssa tried to catch one haha

jeremy could never get enough skiing. cant wait to go back

katelynn had fun practicing photography with aunt lyssa..even if a few our heads were cut out (she said she wanted a pic of our swim suits haha)

brynlee showing grant shells

lyssa was soooo lucky to get to ride with a car full of kids! haha

thanks for helping keep the sanity

4th of july

playing with squirt guns and jump rope sprinklers.

this is how ella would pose for EVERY pic! brynlee thought this was a cute pose so this was her "signature move" ..katelynn is actually showing teeth!>!?? and gwen is only sitting still because she is sitting on a box of fire works

gwen loved the sparklers..she kept trying to eat it

glad we have family to visit for the holidays!

Rachel joined the fun making sand mermaids

we checked out the zoo

jeremy became the new wide life
