Sorry Dad, but this is too good to not post :)  Grandpa feel asleep on the couch while we were over there and the kids thought it was so funny, and lets be honest all the adults too!

We love Grandpa!! And we're good at wearing him out!

We went to the library and the boys played in the little play room while the big kids looked for books.  Evan came up and was so proud of his puzzle and wanted his picture taken.  Such a cutie!

 Brayden and Jayden at the library

Logan and Evan got these fun new toys at Arias's garage sale. So sad they'er moving!

Cute Emmy and Jaydy

 This cute pirate monkey turned 6 weeks old today. Can't believe how fast he's growing!!!

7/26/14

Took the girls shopping for flower girl dresses for Jace and Kalisha's wedding. So Fun!  We love to shop and we LOVE Kalisha!!

Evan has a talk today!!

That's him uo front and excited to give his talk. Then all of a sudden he realised everyone could see him and it turned into this.

And then he completely refused to do it. Sigh. I was so excited to see him give his talk, it's sooo cute when the sunbeams do it. Plus being in a small branch I missed Emily and Logan's first talks because I had other callings. We tried two weeks in a row and he just wasn't up to it. Hopefully next time around!

After church we went to Grammy's house and they are dog sitting for Andrew and Cloe, so they had this HUGE create. So all the kids were playing in it.  Grammy "locked" them in and we snapped a picture, it was just too funny. Kids are so crazy!

Trying a new hairdo today. Much better than my usual ponytail! 

I got snapchat to talk to Jessica and Jace and this is me figuring out how it works

July 2

I asked Kaitlyn to make some pancakes for everyone while I feed Jayden. She made them and then got some candles out and put them in my pancake and wished me happy birthday tomorrow. Such a sweet girl!!

Brayden is holding Jayden (with my help) and feeding him. He LOVES to help the baby!

July 3

Its my 30th birthday! I think this was the day we went to the McKinney 4th of July festivities.  I took tons of cute pictures and videos, but these were part of the ones that were lost :( soo sad! The kids looked cute and we had a BLAST!!  There were free games lots of fun activities!  The best one was the laser tag.  The kids had these cute guns and they ran around and they could get hit so many time before they had to come back out.  Brayden was ADORABLE!!! They even took a picture of him and asked if they could put him on their website.  Sooo fun!  There were also boncy houses (the longest lines!) and other fun games.  We decided to head home before the fireworks since Jayden was so young, we thought it'd be too loud for him and the other kids were getting tired. We saw them a little bit out the windows on the way home though.  We'll definitely have to do this again next year!!  (I think the weekend before was the Allen one and Grandpa and Grandma took the 3 oldest to it with the other grandkids.  They had SOOO much fun!  Grandpa has some cute videos of the kids there.  Ryan and I did something fun with the younger 3, but I can't remember what. I have mommy brain so bad right now! Plus the pictures are all gone and that's totally my memory!)

A friend of mine in Utah just opened up their own podiatry office so she asked for pictures of feet.  Here's baby Jayden's patriotic photo I sent :) 

July 5

Ryan took us to downtown Dallas and we got to see his new office! He works right across the street from the Klyde Warren park and we'd never been so we took the kids! (It's a park that is right over the highway. They have a playground, water area, and food trucks )  I took cute pictures of all the kids but they are gone. Luckily Ryan took two on his phone too.

We had fun! It got hot fast though, so we had to get going.  Before we left Ryan got us his favorite food from the food trucks. Fries!  Haha, so my husband.  There's all this fabulous food and he's like, you gotta try the fries! One of these days I'm going to get a sitter for the kids and meet him down there for lunch and actually try the FOOD there!

7/9/14

my friend Bonnie posted this cute pic of Evan and Maylee she says "Prince Charming never looked so adorable"  These two are just the cutest friends!

Maylee to Evan: "What you want to be? A fairy? A princess?" Poor kid settled for Super Woman

He'll do pretty much anything for his princess Maylee :)

Skipping everything else to just sit and cuddle with this cutie 

The kids think Jayden is hilarious. Any little face or noise he makes. They put this hat on him and called him Viking Jayden and then just laughed like crazy. So glad he doesn't mind their attention!! 

Kaitlyn is LOVING activity day girls!  They took them to the temple and they took this cute picture of her and her best friend Jill.  So glad Kaitlyn has such a great friend!

We took dinner to a park with a small splash pad, Ryan and I were eating and the kids were playing in the water and I look over and Evan is completely nude! Haha. What is it about boys and the need to be clothes free? Once he was clothed again we had a good laugh out of it!

7/11/14

7-11 also known as FREE day!  Haha.  We went to Bonnies house and she helped us get all decked out in cow gear and then headed to Chick-fil-a. Soo fun! Thanks Bonnie!!

Brayden refused to wear his, and refused to be in the pictures... he IS 2.

We ended up on the Chick-fil-a FB page! That baby is Bonnie's youngest, Coco. Jayden's not in the picture

Today is also free slurpees at 711 but I was too exhausted after taking the kids to Bonnie's and Chick fil a, so Jayden and I stayed home and Ryan took the kids.  I made him take pictures :)

This is the kids favorite "song", they LOVE when Daddy does this!

 This cutie is one month today, how is that possible!

Ryan had decided to start taking the kids out on a date once a month. July is Kaitlyn's month!  He took her to the Dallas Museum of Art. She was in HEAVEN!! Ryan was surprised at how MUCH she loved it. He got tired and bored and was ready to leave, while she could have stayed allllll day long! Haha. She had such a great time and Em's can't wait for her turn next month!
