FAMILY PHOTOS 2019

September 20, 2019

It has been years since we have had a FAMILY PHOTO and so I was so happy when Ashley scheduled us for a PHOTO SHOOT with FOTO FLY at THANKSGIVING POINT.

It rained hard all day and I had prayed it would stop for our pictures, and it did! Then it started pouring again right after we left. While we were waiting for our photogapher, it drizzled a little bit so my hair went flat and straight! Why, When I have to look good does stuff like that happen?? Oh well!

We had a fun time and the photographer was funny and the kids really liked him. This turned out to be so much fun. The kiddo's were great until the end when little Skylee had had enough! She would stand there, get that sad look, she'd then throw herself onto the ground and we would laugh! She really was very dramatic! Ha! Ha! But all in all, everything turned out so cute with these kiddo's!

One of my favorite photos taken, I won't post here because I am saving it for my Christmas Card! So you'll have to wait a few months!

My Joy!
   My Loves!
 The Wright Family
  The Bastian Family
 My Family. I can't believe how big it is getting. I love these people so much!

THANKSGIVING POINT, GOATS, AND J DAWGS!

September 20, 2019

We drove out to THANKSGIVING POINT to have our FAMILY PICTURES taken. It was on Friday when it poured rain all day and our pictures were schedule for outside! I prayed so hard that it would stop for one hour while we took our photos. Believe it or not, it poured rain going there and then it stopped while we did pictures and then started back up on our drive home. I couldn't believe it!

While we were waiting for our photographer I took the kids over to look at the GOATS. It was lightly drizzling rain at this time and my hair went flat and stringy that you'll be seeing in our Family Photo's when I get them back...anyway...these kids loved playing together, and loved seeing the GOATS!



 These kids thought the BEARDED GOATS were hilarious! Waylon jumps up and down when he gets excited. It cracks me up!
 Love my LITTLES!
 My crazy little poser, Remi!


 Boston is getting so TALL! Here he is measuring up against Grandma Shirley!





After photos we went to J DAWGS for lunch. It was the best day spent with the best people!




 





SKYLEE'S 1ST BIRTHDAY!

September 14, 2019

Our darling little SKYLEE TURNED ONE! She is such a cute, happy little girl and I am so happy she is in our family. She brings so much JOY into our home! Her big brothers ADORE her and it was fun CELEBRATING HER FIRST BIRTHDAY!

We just had her BIRTHDAY in Mikell's parents' backyard. It was so nice. She loved opening PRESENTS and eating DONUTS.

Poor thing, she wasn't feeling good at all. She had a double ear infection but she still loved her
1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY!

 
 Mikell's niece made this cute Donut Cake.





GREATEST BOISE STATE FAN!

September 14, 2019

Lytton has always loved BOISE STATE FOOTBALL. He was so excited to take Ashley and Remington with his Dad and Nephews to the BOISE for the FOOTBALL GAME. BOISE STATE has BLUE TURF and their colors are ORANGE AND BLUE. I told them to send me a picture of them and I about died when I saw those pictures and what he had done. It totally cracked me up!  i couldn't believe he dyed his beard BLUE and Remi's hair too. I thought it was so funny but I was shocked when she sent me these photos!

I stayed at their house and they drove home after the 8:30 pm GAME. They got home at 4:30 am!  But they had the best time! Oh, and his team WON!


GREATEST BOISE STATE FANS!

THE POLICE BRING PAISLEY HOME

September 14, 2019

My sweet little Paisley is a little STINKER! She has been in a lot of trouble this summer because she keeps sneaking out of the yard and runs either across the street to the neighbors house and goes into their garage to get popsicles, without telling her Mommy, or down the street to the other neighbor, who she doesn't know, to get a treat. Yeah, it's been a problem and Ashley is fit to be tied! I kindly remind her of when she was little and used to climb fences to get to a neighbors dog, and then another fence, and before we knew it she was a few blocks away in someone's back yard, playing with a dog.

Well...I was tending Paisley, Sadie and Kenzie with my mom and I took Sadie with me to pick up a pizza from this gas station (They don't have a Pizza joint in Downey!!). Mom was with Kenzie swinging in the backyard and Paisley was playing with Play Dough inside. I was only going to be gone for 10 minutes!

When I got back I announced Pizza was ready. I couldn't find Paisley! I looked in every room, calling her name, and all over the huge yard and she was nowhere to be found! I thought that little STINKER must have snuck out and ran to the neighbors. I called Ashley and told her I couldn't find Paisley and to please call the neighbors. Well, LaRue came out of her house and said, Paisley isn't here. She probably wandered to the other neighbor clear down the street. I started walking down there when Ashley called back. 

Ashley said that the POLICE had called Lytton and said he was bringing PAISLEY HOME!

That Paisley told the POLICE that when no one was watching she got on her bike and pedaled as fast as she could to ride to the Gas Station to get candy! She RODE down the HIGHWAY! She is 4 years old! She had not only stopped at one Gas Station but went further down the road to the one I was at but I didn't see her! The POLICE said she even crossed the HIGHWAY and a car had to slam on their brakes to not hit her. OH. MY. GOSH! I couldn't believe it! That scared me to death. It makes me not want to tend kids and have responsibility for their lives!  I don't know how many prayers of thanks I gave that she was protected and she was returned home safe and quickly.

This better be the only time PAISLEY gets picked up from the POLICE! Ha! Ha! But of course I had to take a pic of this situation!



I think and hope she learned her lesson!

REMINGTON'S SOCCER GAME

September 14, 2019

I was so excited to be able to drive to Idaho to watch Remington play SOCCER. He had some good KICKS and RAN after that BALL! He is just fun to watch. He is such a happy kid!




   


I love this awesome boy!

GRANDMA SHIRLEY'S 83RD BIRTHDAY

September 2019

My sweet Mom turned 83 YEARS OLD! We CELEBRATED her BIRTHDAY at a restaurant at Station Park in Farmington. It's called SICILY MIA'S and it was so good! She had a blast and was so happy that we went there especially when the owner came over and was so cute with her! She told him she was ITALIAN and he got the biggest kick out of that because he came from Sicily 7 years ago so they talked quite a bit.  She loved when they SANG her HAPPY BIRTHDAY in ITALIAN! I have the funniest video of her dancing when they sang to her. It was a fun night and I was so happy that so many of our FAMILY could be there to CELEBRATE GRANDMA SHIRLEY!

  I love this family of mine!
