Summer Fun!

So none of these pictures are in order and I usually go through and fix it all but I'm not this time so try to follow along! Here are the kids playing in the sand up at Red fish lake. We went up camping with Luke's family and had a blast. Emma is getting buried.

My latest project.... before

and after. Thank you to Emma the artist for making this project necessary.

New moon sneak peak!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, to my wonderful sister who called me at 10:30pm to make me watch this. Now I of course have to share it with all of you. I am SO in love with Edward and I cannot wait for November for New Moon to come out. It is silly because I know what happens and yet I am still dying to see it! Hope you enjoy this as much as I do. oooh la la! Looks like Taylor (Jacob Black) isn't the only one who's been working out!

Birthday, camping and just plain fun!

So my totally awesome friends Paula and Angela took me out on my birthday and pampered me. We went to lunch with Luke at La Fiesta, yummy, and then we went and had pedicures. I LOVE getting pedicures. Except I was totally paranoid because I forgot to shave my legs and I felt bad for the girl who had to touch my legs. Poor girl. Ü Then that night we went out and saw Ghost of Girlfriends past while the boys watched the kids. Thank you so much Ang and Paula for making my birthday so much fun. Love you.
My cute toes.

Emma is a big girl and totally rocks on Riley's Razor scooter. She doesn't know what to do with her back leg though and usually just holds it out to the side. It is adorable. She looks way to grown up in this picture. Little stinker.

There she goes.

So we went up to Pasco with our friends Angela and Todd so the boys could go salmon fishing. Ang and I hung out at the hotel and let the kids swim. Then we went to Chuck E. Cheese and played at the park. The weather was awesome. We had lots of fun.

I got this picture perfect. Emma the hurdler.

The mighty fishermen, relaxing after a "hard" day of fishing.

Emma trying to keep her mouth closed. I think she kept swallowing the water because she literally was going potty every 5 minutes so we were trying to get her to keep her mouth closed when she goes under the water.

She unfortunately is fearless around water. It scares me to death.

Cannon ball contest.

One of the big catches.

The big mother daddy walleye. 10 lbs. GOOOOO LUKEE.

All the salmon fillets.

Carl came by to let Luke ride his motor cycle and took the kids on a ride. Thanks Uncle Carl.

Even Emma got a turn.

We spent memorial day up at Rire fishing with my family. These are the only pictures I got. I'm a slacker. But Emma loved helping Grandpa Morgan clean the fish. She is so not girly. She loved touching the fishing and giving them kisses. Thanks Grandpa for teaching her that one.

eeeeewww.

Playing catch up!

So I always get after my mom and sister for not updating they're blogs and here I am totally slacking off. Sorry girls. Nothing to crazy has happened since my last post. Just the same old day to day. I didn't get the job I was trying to get for a Phlebotomist at the hospital and I was stressing about sleeping during the day with a 3 year old so I decided it was time to take a break from work. Luke was surprisingly OK with it so on Thursday night I worked my last shift. There is just something so exhausting about working for 12 hours. Especially during the night. And sleep during the day is never as good as sleep at night. So now that I am unemployed (ha that's funny, like being a mother and homemakers is not a full time job) I have decided to start doing my vinyl lettering again. I have been researching like crazy for a new cutter and hopefully will be getting one soon. So that is about it for now I guess. Here is a quick cute saying from Emma....


Me... Emma would you like something to eat?


Emma... Yes I want a knuckle sandwich!

I love the cute things kids say!
Baby Marshall and the quilt I made him.
How adorable is he?

The kids and I enjoying an out of the blue snow day we had.

We just had to build a snowman. It was perfect snowman snow.

These are out of order but I'm to lazy to mess with it. This is the back of Marshall's quilt. Luke said let me see the back so this is what we did. Levi had to join it too.

I got ambitious and curled Emma's hair . She is too stinkin cute.

Thanks to my friend Angela for teaching me how to do these cute curls.

Now here is the front of the quilt. Janae and I are looking lovely so don't look to close.

Getting a smile from my newest nephew.

FHE fun

So this post is mostly for the grandparents but I hope you all will enjoy it. For FHE the other night Luke thought it would be good to teach the kids about testimonies. So we told them what testimonies were and bore our testimonies to them. Then they got to have a turn. I figured Nana and Grandma Trace would get a kick out of these. Of course we had to use Riley's light saber as a microphone.

Then this Monday we decided to talk about fire safety. So we started off by roasting marsh mellows and having s'mores. Then we taught fire drills. Riley thought it was lots of fun until he suddenly realized if there was a fire it would burn up his xbox. He was sudden crushed and started crying. We tried to explain that IF we ever did have a fire and his xbox burned up we would get a new one.... "but what about all my games, sniff, sniff" he replied. We had to laugh because it was so cute. We made the mistake of practicing the drill in Emma's room so then she would not sleep in there because of the fire. Thankfully that didn't last and she slept in there last night. Our kids are so fun and they are learning so much. It is great to help and watch them learn. Family Home Evenings are quickly becoming our favorite part of the week. The kids know when it is Monday and all day they ask when Daddy is getting home so we can have FHE.


Luke's huge double s'more

Not a great picture, but here's Riley's burnt to a crisp Marsh mellow.

S' more face!

Taking advantage of good weather.
