High School Friends

I can't believe so much time has past since I saw so many of these beautiful faces. I was out of state for my high school reunions and was not able to go so I am so grateful for the girls who put this night together where we could come talk, eat, laugh, and reminisce.

I have no memory of these pictures being taken. I am so glad Barbara brought them. It is like looking at a me that I can hardly remember. From being home schooled to going to Jr High-how grateful I am for the perfect angels who gathered me in and made me feel happy. The power of good friends.

Fourteen of us. Together we now have 36 kids with two on the way. Love these girls so much and so grateful for their examples and influence in my life.

Jonas turns 5

Wednesday we went to free zoo day with the cousins! It was insane, guess everyone had the same idea. At the end I lost Jonas for a good 5-10 minutes. We looked everywhere. When he was finally found and I told him I was worried and was looking for him he just laughed at me and said he was right there.  

For Jo's birthday we went to his favorite. Any fast food place with a playground. So burger king it was.

Jojo never ceases to amaze me with his variety of faces. How we love our little dude. Happy 5th buddy!

This dress/top was my little sisters. She got it from my grandparents when they returned from a mission to Mexico. Love it so much. 

Today was a good day.

A few days away with this little angel all to myself.

I did get to hang out with Kyle a bit. Pretty much just dinner. But more than we get at home!

Plane ride dreams. Must be good.

 Love how this sweetness will sleep in the wrap while we do whatever we do.

Since Damon is turning 8 this year he was invited to the Blue and Gold banquet. He absolutely loved it and wanted to work on his scout book non-stop ever since. Love that enthusiasm.

We hate when he leaves for business trips. But we love love notes.

Squish those cheeks!

And,...we have the best babysitter ever.

Us

 I almost can't believe how many people are in our family pictures. I mean look! From two to six! Crazy family pictures are our best and really my favorite.

Again with the perler beads. They love them! So, so do I.

Awesome drawing of our favorite person.

Happy boys fishing.

I guess he has a question.

 This face. It makes everything in my world better.

My three party animals while Da is in school.

We just can't get enough love.

This green eyed girl is as mischievous as they come.

 I like to go stare at this little angel sleeping all the time. It is really amazing how perfectly precious a new little one is. 

 Typical. They only sleep when I don't want them to. In the car.

I remember this day very well. Lyla had an amazing long nap. And she woke up in a fit and didn't stop. Nap aftermath...

(Stomping away from me...won't be the last time I would guess)

I guess fishy crackers make it better. Works for me!

Hats are her thing. And shoes.

Oh my three little boys. My heart beats.

This little man makes everyone crack up. He is a best friend to all and loves to have fun.
