My favorite SUMMER things......

#14!!!! Happy Birthday Cort!!!

Cort has been wanting a cell phone for quite some time...... well, it's official!!! Unlimited texts everyone...... text away!!!

Preston thought it would be fun to surprise him with a "TOP OF THE LINE" cell phone!!! Crazy thing is, I remember fondly having MANY conversations on that old phone!! Cort thought it was funny!
Another cake for the books!! The candles were SUPPOSED to go off like SPARKLERS..... uhhhh, no, they barely sparkled at all! Oh, well.... 14 candles is a lot to blow..... Hard to believe isn't it? MY first born 14.... WOW!!! LOVE you Cortie, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
...... Thanks everyone for coming to the B- bque..... food, family , and FUN.... can't get any better than that!

Cash is #5!!!!

Cash has brought SO much fun to our house... along with a lot of shyness, humor, and stress.... he never stopped crying as a small baby.... yet, 5 years have come and gone..... and never would I trade ANY of it!! Look at that sweet little smile!! Love him.....

Cash LOVES Transformers.... the neighbor kindly walked this over for his birthday... they were giving it to the D.I.. can't beat that!! Along with Lot's of other fun gifts, he had a great day!! Thanks for the fun gifts and for sharing cake and ice cream with us!!! Some favorite gifts included a "REALLY COOL" guitar, from Easton and Maddux, "SO COOL" lizard, from Coster and Cutler, and transformer toys, cars, clothes, and Bambi movie, which he has later said, " I don't like this movie, IT'S SAD" (agree)! Other gifts are stroon throughout the house as we speak!!

HaPpY HoLiDaYs!!! 2010

What a crazy time it REALLY is to get family pictures taken...we all know the truth behind the "OH, so sweet pictures" we all look at! The words muttered in between each shoot, the pulling of ears, the whinning....... !!! Let's all be REAL for a minute and say ....is it REALLY worth it???

Of course it is....... EVERY second of it!!! These were some of our favorites! Thanks to my neighbor Mandee for just coming over in the horendous Wind storm....lucky for us....it's a family of boys rather than girls.... we could have had some real crazy hair do's! I'm also adding...that Matt and I are celebrating 15 years of marriage on the 1st...... and WE are STILL smiling!!! hahaha ...well kinda.......

Happy Holidays from all of us!! We wish you all the best and great happiness!!!
