Picture Round-Up

I've been sorting my pics, so here are some of the recent cuties...

and last, but definitely not least... for all those who say they are so happy all of the time- most of the time yes, but all of the time... no :(

daddy tricks

silly daddy tricks!

Life is...

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is bliss, taste it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.

$22.99!?!!!

Imagine my shock this morning when putting on a new shirt I bought this weekend at Ross when I took off the tag and saw the price $22.99 on it!!!! Ok so maybe not a big deal to some of you, but for me- totally shocking! I have a hard time spending more then $10 on an article of clothing, don't know what it is about that number, but when you get above that I really struggle! (Just ask my sister, I was just giving her a hard time about spending $30 on a pair of shorts!) I have to really like it or really need it, which I did because with my leftover pregnancy tummy and twin skin- none of my tops fit like they did before! But geese if I had not been in such a RUSH and paid attention, I would have noticed the tag said "$22.99" instead of "12.99." But hey I guess I should be somewhat grateful I didn't pay the full price of $78.00!!!!!! Seriously, if i had my camera I'd snap a shot, cute shirt with some cute embroidery around the edges, but NO WAY is it worth 22.99, let alone 78!!! Oh well, I guess I will cherish my 23 dollar shirt and remember, no matter how much of a hurry I am in, always DOUBLE CHECK THE PRICE TAG!

Sibling fun

I've been promising these pics for awhile now so here they are...

It all started with a little innocent parallel play, i left the room for a minute but returned when i heard Hallie laughing, when i came in she was laughing at Micah and the pics show you what happened next...

She goes in for the steal...

She bats it away...

Blocks him out...

He fights for it...

He is defeated :(She thought i was gone...Little does she know...I'M BACK!Paybacks...

now hows that for sibling rivalry!!

a SUPER weekend!

I'm finally recovering from our wonderful weekend and last week... I spent all week "dejunking" our house, there are about 15 bags in the garage and I'm not even done yet! pretty amazing how we can collect that much extra stuff, but the house is much more livable now, and hopefully we can keep it that way!

Unfortunately i left my camera at Robert and Jodi's (ty's parents), so i can't include any pics :( i'll post some after i get it back... we had a SUPER fun weekend, it all started Friday with Ty's graduation from WSU- i'm SUPER proud of him and glad he stuck with it! We had a bbq at the house following the ceremony which was a ton of fun, it was great to have so many friends and family together and of course SUPER food :)

Saturday was my birthday which ended up being a SUPER fun day! ty kinda let me sleep in, he got up with the babies because he thought it was 7:15, but he had accidentally set the clock ahead an hour so it was actually only 6:15, so i ended up waking up at my normal time of around 7, but at least i got off the hook for one feeding! he took Micah and went on a little adventure with his good friend George and i slept some more and took it easy with only 1 baby to care for :) we went to the mall and met up with George, Mandy, and boys and had a SUPER fun time with them- it was so fun to see them :) I picked out my SUPER cool MIXER (see previous posts) and we followed that all up with an evening out thanks to my SUPER sweet mother-in-law. We had a SUPER supper at red lobster and instead of going to a boring movie, we went to target- tried on funky hats and sunglasses, drove around, went and saw 2 SUPER gals, erica and ronica at work, spied on eli at his church dance and had a SUPER fun time being together. I got my SUPER cool mixer, a SUPER cute scrapbooking tote, and some SUPER cute scrapbooking stuff- it was a SUPER birthday!

Sunday was a SUPER mother's day, not SUPER relaxing, but still a SUPER day- ty had to talk in sacrament and teach in elder's quorum. his talk was SUPER sweet and of course made me cry! we went to his parents and he made a SUPER yummy dinner for his mom and family- homemade fries, homemade cheesy garlic biscuits, and lots of leftovers from the bbq... oh i almost forgot we had a SUPER yummy cake from costco which i've been eating ALL week and i treated myself to some SUPER delish blackberries!

So all of this made for a SUPER weekend, I'm so sad it's over :( but we have a SUPER weekend planned for this weekend- a trip to Seattle- IKEA, mariners, a baby shower, grandparents and time with family here we come!

My mixer!

Here it is! I can't wait to start using it! now i can get back in the grove, watch out cookies, milkshakes, brownies... we're back! (MAYBE i'll actually branch out and actually make something healthly like bread or something!)

Another day older...

a true and honest birthday reminder...

This will be my motto throughout the day tomorrow cause I'll be the big 2-7 in a few hours!

I'm not going to lie, I love giving AND receiving gifts and I hate knowing what my gifts are beforehand, but I have a pretty good idea I'm getting a mixer!! I'm writing it here so i have proof if i am right... we'll see what ty's am shopping trip brings me :)

Camo fam

I figure i better post something since it's been FOREVER! since our random meter has been at like 0 since the babies were born- we decided to get totally decked out for our ward chilli feed and pinewood derby contest- we all dressed in camo as the pit crew for our flippin' sweet hum-v!
