I have died and gone to heaven.....

I had the kids pictures taken by a great gal Tiff and she did such a fabulous job! I love love love them! I can't believe how grown up Max is, he melts my heart in these pictures. And I love all the many faces of my girly girly Kate! She is a crack up!

FuNNiEs by Max and Kate

I had to write these down....

Kate came out of the bathroom the other night and said, " My poop was HUGE, it was as big as a baby alligator. And it was ANGRY!" She was dead serious. She is such a princess!

I had the kids pictures taken this week and I told him to look good and we could give a picture to his girlfriend. Tiff asked Max about his girlfriend and he told her, "Yeah I really like her because she does not say much." Such a Man just sit there and look pretty women!

We love the 4th of July!!

I really love celebrating the 4th of July. We had another great year. We started the day by doing my birthday shopping, my mom and Jake have great taste and know exactly what I want...to let me go shopping. I love my birthday for my splurge on my half year purchase of a new pair of Big Star jeans. Then we went to the pool and to finish off the night we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and of course fireworks! Max loves them and Kate is scared. She is my child I was terrified of them as a little girl. I just new I was going to catch on fire.

I am so thankful that we live in this beautiful Country. God Bless America!

Braden being social? My cute hubby and sweet baby girl!

Jake somewhere in all that smoke.

Kate thought the fire works were stinky!

Balloon Festival

We made it this year, smiles and all. It was fun and I always like to go watch those big hot air balloons fill up and take off right next to you. The kids had a lot of fun. Happy 4th!

11 great years!

I just want to tell Jake that I think he is super and have loved the past 11 years that he has been my better half! I love that I can truely say we do not fight, and that he is my best friend. He treats me like his queen even when I don't deserve to be. Thanks for all the great memories even if we can't remember what we did for our last Anniversary! Love Hot Lips!

Max and Maiya

Well another great year of mutton bustin at the Strawberry Days Rodeo! Max gets so excited to do this each year and I think this may be his last. He is skinny enough maybe we could tie his legs up so they do not drag in the dirt next year! This year was especially fun because he rode the same night as his good buddy Holden. Holden had a sweet ride I think he got 3rd. Max came out a little crooked on the sheep and did not last long but he loved every minute of it. Oh and he did not get the black sheep..watch your back Jason he means business! I love my tough little boy!
