The First Day

Yes.

It's happening.

PRESCHOOL

Man she is getting so big! 

I Love You Bailie Boo

Saying bye to Daddy

She looks SO old!!!

The Fam

He is home!!! I was supposed to pick him up today, but he ended up flying home friday night...  I have missed him so.

Our relaxing Sunday together as a family (Brek was in bed)

Just in case you missed his face. 

This beautiful babe starts PRESCHOOL tomorrow... So we painted her nails and toenails.  I am excited, but Bailie is more excited.  She is SO ready for it!

Cody & Bruce

My AMAZING Aunt Cody is getting married! I am so freakin excited for her!! She is one of the funniest, craziest, most special (I know I didn't write this correctly Tal.. Don't judge) people I know... Bruce is such a lucky guy. I can not wait for their wedding day! Congrats you two... I sure love you guys.

 

Here are some fun shots I took of them while they were out visiting for the weekend

Big Day

Yesterday was Nikki and Zach's big day!  I have never seen a couple so infatuated with each other (in a good way of course).  Their day was so special.  Filled with lots of fun surprises and so much love.  Sure love you guys!  I hope these do it justice...

They're Goin to the Temple and They're Gonna Get Married...

Boys and Girls

Today we made cupcakes.  We had lots of fun...  Very messy but fun.  Can I just say how much I love my kids?  I don't know how I got so lucky to take care of these amazing little ones. 

The difference between boys and girls is.....  Well a lot of things, but here is one way.

My Bailie is THE MOST dainty little girl I know.  She twirls and bounces everywhere.  She is always so sweet to everyone!  She is SO nurturing and already has AMAZING maternal instincts.  I'm a little jealous.

My Brek is into EVERYTHING...  He loves cars and balls.  Oh and thinks it's funny to hit.  ALL Boy I tell you.  He has the greatest personality and is always making CrAzY, fUnNy faces...  Dang I love him.

SO DIFFERENT, these two.
I could not ask for better cherubs.  They are my world. 
And that's why I LOVE having a boy and a girl....  I get to experience both sides :) 

FINALLY!!!

After 3 1/2 LONG months the day finally came..... Last night my Mom, Dad, and I went to pick Talyn up from the airport!!!  SO EXCITING!  I have missed her more than than words....  So I documented our every move.  But seriously. 

Here I am.  My mom gave me a ride on the luggage holder cart thing.

Awaiting Tal's arrival

More waiting.  Yes we are all wearing green.  Different shades of course.

Bailie made a sign for Talyn but she couldn't go with us cause it was so late, so I held the sign and then decided I probably shouldn't hold it or people will think I made the BEAUTIFUL sign....

HERE SHE IS!!!!

I told her earlier that I couldn't come cause of sleeping children...  So she didn't know I was coming.  She was surprised.

On our way home Tal was craving a tasty treat so we stopped and got a shake...

It was a fun little trip and I am so glad Tal made it home safe and sound!!!  We sure missed you Tal.

Tay to the Lynn

Only 4 more days until I get to see my favorite little/big sister!!!  I CANNOT wait!

Moving, More Moving, Darts, and Movies

Can I just say it's been quite the summer...  And by that I mean CRAZY!  It's quite a long story, but 10 moves, 3 states, and a few thousand miles put on our cars later, we are back home and Dev is selling in Salt Lake.  We have been through a lot and learned even more these past few months.  There have been lots of good times too...  Soaking up the sun in Arizona was definitley a highlight.  I got tan.  And by tan I mean I look semi-normal and i'm not as pastey white as I usually am :) 

Here are my babies relaxing in the pool

Deveren bought a nerf gun to shoot his guys if they fell asleep or were in their phones during the morning meetings and I keep finding the darts everywhere in the house.  Bailie got creative with them the other day...

Brek joined in the fun

Entertainment for hours I tell ya

My favorite thing Brek does now is wave...  I tried to get him in motion

On Friday night we met Deveren up in Salt Lake and went to the drive in movies...  We saw Toy Story 3 (Dev hadn't seen it yet) and then the kids and I slept while Dev watched Grownups.
