I'M THE BIGGEST LOSER . . . at blogging!

I am, for sure, the biggest loser! But, not at losing weight unfortunately. I'm officially the biggest loser at blogging. It's been a month since I've done a post and I am 2 months behind on updating pictures. YIKES! So, here ya go. Here's two months worth of updates all in one GIANT post!

Brein has a boyfriend. His name is Brandon and he's a
great guy and we love having him around. He makes
Brein very happy and they are an adorable couple.


Kip and his friend Mike got crazy one night
and decided to dress up for their volleyball
night with friends. What a couple of crazy guys!


Lindsay has become ultra domesticated. Her and her friend Julie
got all these apples and made applesauce and apple pie filling.
Logan was a HUGE help and enjoyed being in the middle of
it all. Good job Lindsay and Logan!
PS ~ I'm still waiting for an apple pie!

The family attended the Chandler Ostrich Festival.
It was hot and crowded and tons of fun to watch
Logan get so excited about all the rides, animals and fun
things going on. What a great day!







Easter was a big event at our house. We had company from
Utah that was sick of the cold weather and decided to come
down for a taste of Spring! Jody, Pat, Zak and his friend Matt
came from SLC. My sister Wendy, her husband Corey and son
Ian came from Fruit Heights. It was a full house for sure but
such a fun time. The young boys were brave and got in the
pool even though it was still quite chilly. We spent a lot of
time sitting outside enjoying the beautiful weather and
catching up on life with each other.
Lucky for Kipper the Easter Bunny found
our house this year. Brein had to miss out
since she was with Brandon's family for
the holiday.

Adorable AVA
Logan and Buzz
Brinkley and Pat
Jody and Ava

Arizona has a new temple!!!
The Gila Valley temple in Safford/Thatcher.
Thats the area where President Kimball
grew up. It's a beautiful valley and it
now has a beautiful temple. Brad and I
were lucky enough to get to go through it.



Mother's Day 2010.
Here's Lindsay being pulled in all directions by
her two adorable kids!
Just another day being "Mom".
Lindsay & kiddos
Ava jumping!
Mammaw with her two favorite kids in the whole world!
I am so blessed!!!

Last night was "Father & Sons" campout so
that means: GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!!
Brein and Ava at dinner.
Brein having a taste of the shared dessert.
All of us girls in the mall. We had a great time together.
It just doesn't happen often enough.

There you have it. Next time I'll try to spread it out over several posts instead of one long huge one. Life is busy, busy, busy but good. I'm haning in there and Brad is enjoying his job. We have been blessed beyond belief and we are so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives!

Great blog update! Megan updated hers, too, so I guess it's my turn next. Hope you're doing well.

Looks like so much fun! Nice legs Kip! Awe... Brein and Brandon sit'n in a tree! I don't think Jodi and Pat ever get any older, they look the same as they did when I was 10! Ave and Logan are so cute, you can definitely tell they are brother and sister!
PS - saw your friend Kelsy today :)
