Tub time!!

Mason and his cousin Ella taking a bath.
When we asked Ella where Mason's belly button was...
this was her response!
(Sorry it's a little blurry. I think I was laughing so hard I was shaky with the camera!)

I LOVE bath tub time. My boys love the water and play forever in the water. They get mad when I tell them it's time to get out. I think dumping water on each other is their favorite game!

Camping Tradition!

We went camping this last weekend with friends. (The Talley family and Us!) We used to go camping semi-annually with our friends every year. Then we all started having kids... and life just got crazy! Anyways, we had a lot of fun hanging out, (trying to get out of the COLD wind!!!), eating, and watching our boys (and Sydney) play hard!
We camped just outside of PineTop/Show Low area. The weather was nice but really windy!

I wish my scanner still worked. I'd totally scan an old picture from one of our camp outs back in 2001. Jeff, Ron, Me, and Emryn from the original camping crew!

Hammock Time!! Horse shoe fun! After I took these action shots we noticed that Ron and Jeff make the same concentrated face while horse-shoeing!

My favorite part of the trip (besides watching my boys soak up the outdoors) was a "hike" more like a walk I took with Lindsey, Noah, and Sydney. Lindsey and I don't get to talk much (with out being interrupted by the kiddos or braking up a brawl!). I really enjoyed our chit chatting and just leisure time!

Noah and Sydney!!!! I just love those little piggy tails!!!! Super cute little girl!



The boys had so much fun reading with "Grandma Talley". They chose to read in the car with Grandma Talley instead of go on a hike! Mason even fell asleep on her lap!


Noah and "Co-coa"! Both my boys can't say Colter yet... Mason can say it... I think it's just easier to say "Co-Coa"!


Noah spent a lot of his time waiting outside Jeff and Lindsey's tent for "Nee-Nee" (Sydney)!

Yummy! Yummy breakfast that Nate and Emryn made! Thanks guys!

Is this Legal?

I came out to my car the other day to run errands and this is what I found...
VROOM! VROOM!


What a goof!

Happy Birthday!!

Today is my baby sister's 22nd Birthday! Maryann is such a sweetie. She is so thoughtful and hardworking. I don't know anyone who chooses to get up at 3:30am for work EVERYDAY (who isn't in construction!) and works crazy long hours! Her work ethic is amazing and I really admire her for that.
She gives excellent advice on my personal care. Seriously, I really value her opinion about my hair do or make-up (I'm not so good at all that!) She is definately a fun person to shop with and will always be 100% honest about whether something looks good on you or not. Even if that means telling you "That makes your Faler butt look BIG!! ha!" Ok that's a total inside joke for "kankles!" :) No really though she has good taste and shares her knowledge.
She is very sweet, kind, and SUPER generous. She is always thinking of others (except when it comes to her beauty sleep!) I love that she is perfectly happy just hanging out with family and noisy kids. My boys just love Aunt "Na-na!" I know that someday she'll be a wonderful mommy. Happy Birthday Maryann! I love you!

What is this?

Ok... Well, in case you can't tell it's a...

Toothbrush.

Mason's Tooth brush to be exact.
I know, I know, it looks like Mason's had this thing for years but... it's actually only about 1 week old. We go through toothbrushes like no body's business.

What can I say? He loves to "brush" his teeth or should I say chew his toothbrush! (That's my boy!) My favorite part is the totally bent angle of the toothbrush!

Man he's got some strong Masseter (chewing) muscles!
