Having fun in washington!

The worst part of living away from your family is feeling like you are missing out on stuff. This trip we were able to be there for many fun Events!

Ike's first stand up show with his cousins in grandma's car. They think he is so funny. He just needs to learn not to laugh at his own jokes.
Bayley's 11th birthday party! I can't believe she is growing up so fast! The cake is supposed to be a flip flop and a juice box. Yeah that didn’t work out so good. Sorry Bayley I love you!

The birth of the beautiful, perfect, healthy baby Brityn! I miss her so much!

Uncle Cam is still getting used to having so many nieces and nephews.

Grandpa Larry and Baby Brityn's siblings were the first on the scene after her birth they were so excited!

Ike's birthday was a huge hit at Grandma Colleen's.

Hanging out on Neeley's new patio furniture drinking lemonade.

Breanna's prom night was a success! And as always, she is just gorgeous!

So beautiful!

Isaiah's Birthday Extraviganza!

I Have decided that Ike is one of the luckiest kids in the world! He has so much family on both sides that care about him so much. While we were up in Washington we threw a Cars (the movie) birthday party. Grandma Colleen hosted it. It was complete with a swimming pool, squirt guns, water balloons, cake, and best of all, FAMILY!

Here he is opening Kobe's birthday card. He still has it and carries it around. He says this is from my friend Kobe.

I was trying to get a picture of all the guests at the party but there are a few missing. They were all moving around like crazy.

This is Ike's Lightning Mcqueen cake. Don't look too close I am no "Ace of Cakes."

This is Ike's Utah Birthday Party Thrown by Grandma Ali! He had so much fun and even got his very own Thomas the train cake! He was so happy to spend time with his Family.

Ike got so spoiled with plenty of gifts. Avery was so polite and just looked on as he opened them.

We had such a great Easter this year. We woke up to the sun shining and blue sky. We read the Story about Easter Sunday to Isaiah when he woke up. He was so interested he had me read it twice. How grateful we are for the knowledge of the Atonement and all the blessings it brings to our lives. We are also grateful to have Cameron's family near by. After Church we enjoyed a yummy dinner prepared by my mother in law and a cute egg hunt for the cousins. P.S these are also the first pictures of Ike's new hair cut.

This is Ike at the neighborhood egg hunt on Saturday. My camera ran out of batteries so I was not able to get all the pictures I wanted. We all had fun and enjoyed hanging out with all the neighbors. We really have a fun neighborhood.

Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Today was a really windy day! Our garbage can even tipped over! I learned a few things about flying a kite with a 2 year old: Even if there is only one tree in the whole neighborhood they will run right to it every time, when you tell them not to let go they will try it at least four times so you end up chasing the kite all over. I will Have to say, it was really fun and we both laughed a lot. I noticed we were putting on a show for the whole neighborhood. It was embarrassing. You can a imagine, fat and pregnant Leah running around all tangled in a kite with the wind blowing my hair in my face so I can't see clearly, Laughing hysterically with Ike saying "whoa mom it's windy" a billion times.

Hello Everyone! (or all two of you.) We are still alive we have just been busy trying to help Ike figure out what he should do when he grows up. Also, I am pregnant! So, I just started to feel better and so I am skipping Christmas and New Years pictures cuz I'm sure everyone is over that. Any way, this first one is Isaiah's attempt at construction. He calls his safety goggles his "gobbles."

Pro Snowmobile Man, he does not only ride fast he rides "super fast." At least his name isn't chubby, cuz whoa daddy went way too fast.

Actor/comedian, this was good but not when you are trying to teach him not to bite and kick people. He just might think everything is a joke. Too late.

Pro bowler: this one might actually be realistic, he bowled a better score than me that day.

Santa Clause: He is getting fattened up for the job, It also runs in the family so he just may be the next Santa.

Sorry so random and strange, I hope to keep up better in the future.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This was our first snowman of the year. Ike really wanted to use oranges for the eyes. 

We had fun playing in the snow and decorating our tree! I love Christmas time!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was really fun! Cam's dad, Shannie, Sharsti, Tanner, Jessica, and Layla were all able to join us! I should have taken pictures before dinner everyone was mad at me for taking pictures after. 

Layla is pretty confidant she will pose no matter what she knows she is beautiful.

Ike holds everyone that comes to the house hostage, he make them read books over and over. Papa Greg is his easiest target.

Ike loves to make stuff with me cuz he gets to lick the spoon. He is naked because he wanted to pour the vegtable oil in the bowl. Instead, he poured it in his lap.
