28th Birthday

This picture totally sums up my birthday....what is this a picture of? PURE HEAVEN!!! The rice at Benihana. A lot of my friends have never been to Benihana, so some of them suggested that we go there for my birthday. Do you know what that means? That means that I got to go to Benihana twice! Once with my friends and then once with my family. Do you know what this whole paragraph means? That I have a serious problem. I am obsessed with FOOD!!

Thank you Summer for this excellent picture of my most favorite thing ON EARTH!

Thanks everyone for coming! (Missed those who couldn't come) This year was seriously one of my best birthday's ever.

We didn't want to forget Melissa. She was feeding little Slade when we took our group shot.

And finally another favorite of mine.....flowers. I love love love love love flowers. My Mom and sister found me in the morning at Cooper's school and surprised me with the red roses and lilly's with a balloon. Thanks guys I felt soooo special. When I got home from picking kids up from school the purple bouquet was on my door step....Amber and Ben Lowry surprised me with those. Purple is my favorite color!! Love them!! Then my adorable hubby came home with the pink roses. Thanks babe, you sure know how to sugar me up!

Thanks everyone for all of the awesome presents, wishes for a wonderful birthday and most of all your love and friendship. Having people like you in my life makes each day so sweet and the moments in my life amazing. I love you all!!!!

T-Shirt Parade

The T-shirt parade is a, you guessed it, a parade where the kids wear their favorite t-shirt. Cooper you are such a handsome little sucker!! I love you

I walked Reagan's room one morning and found her like this. She was so proud of herself! She actually got her shirt off. Too funny!

Just silly

We started out so nice. "Come here Cooper let's take a pic together." Then the silliness erupted.

So nice and normal

Mom do this

Now this

and this

Now stick your tongue out

Carter couldn't help but join us.
Put your finger on your cheek...oops missed that one

You can't see us!


??????

Wide eyes

Psycho eyes

We took a billion more and it was so much fun to snuggle up to my boys and act silly for a while.

Beach Fun

So this is about 3 trips worth of the beach....here we go.

Some of our bestest buddies, Amber, Ben, and Ella came with us to the beach. This is Reagan's best friend Ella. They loved getting sandy bum cracks and eating sandy munchies together. I love these girls.

So cute!

Kathryn is such a fun aunt. This beach trip she went swimming with Coop out in the waves. He spent most of the day trying to catch a wave with her. You can see the tippie top of his head on the left side of Kathryn.

Finally after many attempts he caught a wave. That is one thing about Cooper. He tries and tries and tries until he DOES!! I love that about him.

Don't worry...........I got the guy in the speedo for all of your viewing pleasure. He was laying out right next to us. All I have to say is...HOT DAMN!!!

Cousins loving the beach together.

I wonder what caught their attention????

I had to get these sandy little cheeks.

Balboa Island with my Sis and Mama.

We took a boat ride out on the ocean, which I am not to sure about yet. It is a little different from Lake Powell. The channel cat at Lake Powell kinda scare me.....I just try to pretend they are not there and I am fine. But the ocean has things in it that can EAT yes EAT ME yes ME!!!!! I am not to sure how I feel about that. No....wait....I know exactly how I feel about that....SCARED TO DEATH! Some guy said that he has never seen a shark around balboa. All I have to say is BULL CRAP!! I got stung by a sting ray ok!

These are a bunch of seals kickin' it together. They were like this for a long time. So random.

Having fun with Daddy.

Grandpa trying to get Carter into the ocean.

Grandpa trying to get Reagan into the ocean. Can you tell by her body language that she DOES NOT want to go in.

Carter's Dream......

Carter, "There was monster creepies and they were big with slobberies all over."


Carter is my little dreamer. I think the only person who has more vivid dreams then he does is John Denney...and we just won't go there...HAHAHA! Almost every morning he tells me about some crazy dream he had. His dream vocab has increased since Grandma McMullin came to visit us. I think it is because when she stays with us EVERY night she puts the kids to sleep by telling them stories. It is positively the cutest thing in the whole wide world and the kids LOVE it.

I FARTED!!!!!

Carter, "Cooper, I farted."
Cooper, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
There are fewer things in life funnier than a fart! Right?



Reagan getting squirted by Cooper and Carter. Story of her life.

Carter's First Day of Pre School.....no tears!

My Little Carter has been waiting for this day for sooooooooo long. All those days of seeing big brother go to school and have so much fun learning and experiencing things and FINALLY he gets to do it. I don't think he thought this day would ever come. I can't even count how many times he has asked me when his turn was for school. Well baby it is finally here. How could I cry when he was sooooo dang excited? I didn't even put on the water proof mascara this time. I am just so happy that he finally finally gets what his little heart has been longing for. Big Boy School!
This is his favorite thing to wear right now. So it HAD to be the first day of school outfit.

Big Brother Cooper was excited for him to.

You can almost feel his beemers coming out of the picture.

In front of his school....almost time.....

YAY we made it! This is his classroom.

So many fun things to do!

As we were walking back to the car when I picked him up he said, "Mom thank you, thank you, thank you so much!" Refering to me taking him to school. Seriously, does it get any cuter?
