Birthday Bonanza

With Bailey and Chloe's Birthday only 4 days apart, I broke my vow, the very first year.  Vow being,.. "I will NEVER combine their Birthdays.

i suck.

So I went all out,.. well,.. not really.  I didn't order jones sodas with their pictures on it, or have a caterer, or a face painter, or special order party invitations that are nicer than the ones I had made for my wedding(which were horrible).  I didn't make costumes for all the invited guests, or anything CRAZY.

(If you would like to know someone THAT crazy,.. I can give you a link,... you might want it.)

But I DID order a BOUNCE HOUSE SLIP N' SLIDE!!!!!!

Totally worth every penny!!!  We had such a blast!  I might make it a summer tradition!!!!

We had a feast of world class cuisine hot dogs and hamburgers, and really gross Wal*Mart cake.

And then Chloe's home made cake that she seriously LOVED.   Pictures:


Chloe's face in that last pictures says it all!!!  Happy Birthday to my babies!!  Now stop growing up!

Girls Camp/JLo Ain't Got nuttin on me

Girls Camp Rocked my socks.  I have a tesitmony of girls camp, and have really missed it every summer since they kicked me out of Young Womens.  Jerks. Pictures:

Gnome-in it.


We played my very favorite camera game.  Horse Face.  
I accidently spit on Chloe trying to demonstrate.  Sorry Chloe.






So,.. I really want to lose weight,.. and so I am having this picture printed and framed and nailed to the fridge.  And now that the rest of the world has seen it,.. I have more incentive.
For real.  I'm totally ashamed.  But look how daring and adventurous I am!,.. I am totally trying to deflect,.. but let's be honest,.. how can you deflect off something THAT large.  JLo Ain't got Nuttin on me!  I think I will go for a run right now.

July in Review

WOWZERZ.

Isn't summer the BEST!?!?  There is no time to blog because you are too busy having a BLAST!?!?  There is no time to empty your pictures off your camera, so you just buy new memory sticks.  There is no time to watch T.V.(unless is has to do with a Bachelor and Bachelorette).  There is no time dilly dally on laundry, because you gotta hurry up and pack for the next adventure.  I haven't seen the inside of a grocery store in a LONG time(and my fridge proves it). (note to self{and you guys} more trips to the grocery store usually means less flabby all over my body).  No time for sunscreen, your feet are burning standing around.(ouch)  

Have we been busy?  Yes, yes we have.  Has it been GREAT.  Yes,.. yes indeed-ie.  Has my mom been life saver of AMERICA?  Definitely.  Do I deserve such an awesome mom, no,.. but MAN am I grateful for her.  Love you Mamma Cakes!{really,.. she is the one who has made me stay up to date with the laundry}

Updates to come:
-We had another kid(well someone else had her, and raised her for 15 and a half years, and then sent her to us from Spain,....... for a month,.......and then we have to send her back.
-Girls Camp
-Hell,.. I mean Vegas
-Park City

-Centerville
-Birthdays(Party time USA up in herrrrr{e}.
-Anniversary

Ketchup

I mean Catch-up.

I am going to try and play a little catch up on things I found on my camera and phone that I had every intention of blogging before now.

BRYCE CANYON

We had the chance to go to beautiful Bryce Canyon with Peter's family a week weekends ago.  We had a lot of fun, made a lot of memories, and broke a few records,.. well,.. one at least,.. that being that it SNOWED while we were there,..... we went on June 11th.  CRAZY!!!!

Happy Birthday Chloe!




My Dearest, Darlingest Little Baby Girl!

You amaze me.  I truly love you so much!  You are the happiest baby on earth, which is fitting.  Your AMAZING eyes suck me in, and I can't help but smother you with hugs and kisses every time I look at you.  Your little smile with GIANT teeth makes my heart melt.  The rolls on your legs make me giggle like a wee little school girl.  Your speedy crawl and lack of desire to walk, insures to me that your Heavenly Father sent you to the right place(because I want you stay in this stage for just a little longer). I love that you have no fear of the water and you are a little fish out of water.(even though it scares me) I am blessed to be your mother.  One year ago today I sat holding you in my arms, scared to death you would be the last baby I would bare.  I held you on my chest for 12 straight hours, in tears.  I am so glad that you are mine, and I get to be your mommy.  Thank you for being so amazing, and for drawing me closer to the spirit and my Heavenly Father, and for loving me in return.  You are a daughter of God, He MADE you, He continues to bless you, He has allowed us to be together forever.  I love you.

Love, Your Mamma
