This past weekend we got to go to Smithfield for Haggles' blessing. It was a fun weekend. I love spending time with my parents and family!!! We are blessed to have wonderful family's that help us SOOOO much, and love our kids so much! thank you, to all you Ramey's, Tolman's, Roberts', Jensen's, Floto-Ramey's!!! We love you soooo much! We can never repay you for all you do for us, but we will try!!! yeah for PAPA!!!

if you're going to sneak on my camera and take pictures of yourself, i'm going to put them on here- consider yourself warned!

these next 3 randoms are for those involoved in my past....long ago.....oh these toys! My mom called me down to see what the kids were playing with, and I had to play too!

a little empire records anyone??? always trying to be scandalous !

somebody loves their muscles

after we got everything set up, Max came up to me and said, " that's a great set mom"

then it was time for the show! Hadley got all glammed up for prom, and looked exquisite in her white, bedazzled gown!

and these great men blessed her. How lucky is she!?

these boys can't be serious...ever!

I LOVE my friends. There's nothing like getting together with people you love, after a couple rough days of being alone with your kids cuz the hubby went out of town! Seriously, you guys are the best! Thanks for the confidence boosting talk after the movie too- wowsers! Brent can't stop letting everyone know he's the best husband around.....:)

We went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic.

Decided to meet up with friends and see a movie for President's Day. Forgot the whole valley would be there and the "sold out" sign would show up 10 people away from the front. Can you say weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth???

YIKES!!! Thank goodness for the play place at Costa Vida!!!!

Thanks Amber and Mar for coming! And sorry Mary F. for the confusion......ugh!!! It's always fun to have your phone become "disconnected" the day you're planning a get together and people are trying to call you to figure out what's going on

we've been playing with cousins alot

and trying to entertain ourselves with all this nasty horrible no good very bad weather we KEEP having. I'm over it!

the other night, Sawyer sat on my bed to watch a "boo-ee" and yelled at "DAD". When he turned around, she patted the seat next to her- kinda How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days'esque- it was so sweet.

Conli's big on dressing herself these days-- about 4 times a day- love it- and here's a getup she discovered the other morning. Too bad we had to crush her dreams and make her get ready for normal school, not "pole dancing" school this day! (that comes later my dear girl)

cuz i love sawyer's face in this one

we've babysat her a few times

played more dress up

these 2 can't get enough of sleep overs. i love how much they love eachother...most of the time!

movie night!

Sometimes people turn 30, so you get to go to their awesomest birthday parties!!!

I'd been at Summer's earlier this day giving her "roll Making Lessons" and she decided to share them with us, our lil appetizer if you will, for the long trip!

do they smell buttery to you Dar?

I don't know if there was enough butter on/in them!

some people were on time- like, us 3, and birthday girly. So, we got to hang out and.... ummhmmm eat stuff.... for about 2 hours before the rest of the gang started showing.

sometimes pregnant friends need their feet rubbed...

the best part of the night was preparing for and producing our own music videos. oh yes, we did!!

all the preggers were together, then there were 3 more groups Steph had divied up. It was kinda nerve racking for a bit- so Dar and I took a breather in the bathroom- but after that---oh the dancing that was done in that house!!! I wanted so badly to put our video on here for your viewing pleasure, but i have not yet received it!!!!!! (hint HINT)

just know, it was fun. we danced our socks off!

after a long night of talking/laughing/sleeping- oh, wait, not much sleep, we awoke to like 14 feet of snow being laid down by our dear mother nature. HAPPY VALENTINES to you too! Dar, Summer and I ventured out to the one and only CHICKS to start our day of love off right. Here's to best friends, love, and $4 sausage patties!!!!

No, Darla does not share! don't even think about it!

We decided to start having "date nights" with the kiddo's- us, and one of them- inspired by good old "John & Kate + 8". Thanks TLC for making me want to be a better mom!

First try- Max and us. We gave him the choice of where to eat, figuring it was going to be a cheap night....the kid big, Puffy, Heart, LOVES Wendys. But no, when asked where he wanted to go to dinner, he said, "you know, that place with the rolls and good butter."

That could only mean one thing= Texas Roadhouse here we come!!

that's my boy!
After dinner, we rushed over to see this person fight at "THROWDOWN"

stupid commissioner wouldn't let the fight go on......

that's all right Sean, you'da kicked some serious trash anywho...we all know it!

Til next time!
