Being a Mom

I know that I only have a few years under my belt, but sometimes it feels like I've been doing it for a lot longer than that. I know I don't have nearly this many things to do in my day, and schedules are only going to get more and more complex. This video made me smile! Okay laugh. I hope you do too!

Mckinley's Blessing

Mckinley was blessed this past Sunday. Erik gave her a wonderful blessing. She looked so angelic in her first white dress.

The Beach for the Third Time

My family came out last weekend for Mckinley's blessing. We had a blast with them. We spent the day Saturday at the beach. As you can tell from the pictures it was really foggy, but not too cold. We all got a little bit wetter than we wanted to, but it was worth it!

We got a new family picture.

Four Generations!

The girls.


The Guys.

My awesome Grandparents.

The group, minus my sister the photog.

Hunter played with everyone he could.

Racing to the waves, but trying not to get wet with Pa,

and Kylie,

and Daddy.

Sibling Love

I know I have the cutest kids on the planet!!

Just look at those cheeks!

And that smile. . .

Hunter loves snuggle time with Mckinley.

Not only are they cute, but they are amazingly good kids too.

Now if we could just get one potty trained and the other to sleep through the night, they'd be PERFECT!!!

The Beach Again

We decided to make the best of the last weekend that we'll have together for the semester. Hunter and Erik had a ball burying eachother in the sand.

Mckinley was a trooper hanging out in her tent the whole time.

We had a great time even though it was super crowded. Thanks to the Tabbish's for meeting us there! We need to hang out again soon!

One Last Call

This is the final call for all of my blog readers to change your bookmark to our new address found on the previous post. I'm getting some wierd comments on this blog so I'm going to delete it at the end of the week.

You just gotta hang on to the rope!!

We had the oppertunity to get our families together for an evening of boating. I hope everyone had a blast!

Surfing was definately the favorite sport of the evening.

Here's Michelle . . .

and Riley. . .



and Shane.

I think the heater was the favorite feature on the boat.

Hunter always loves to help Pa drive the boat!
