Aagghhh! It's been too long my friends, too long. And there's way too many pictures, stories, boring (but cute to me) happenings to post about. The kids are back in school, this is our first friday night of the school year, it's raining (but suprisingly warm) outside and I'm sitting all cozy in my house with Lily and Arick. Taylor and Travis are at a football game tonight which I'm sure will be their friday night activity for the next few months. I, on the other hand have just made some rice pudding, lit some candles and put on my sweats. This, hopefully, will be my friday night activity for the next few months! Maybe I'll even start making posts every friday night--it's a nice thought, but I'm definitely not promising anything! Since I was a completely lame mom this week and did not take any pictures of my kids on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd day of school, here are some pics I thought were good (but not taken within the last 3 weeks-sorry).
Oops. I lied. this one I took this morning. Now that Taylor and Lily are in school, Arick and I stay in our pajamas all day and eat cookies, chips and ice cream. Either that or we go to the movies and then to Arick's favorite toy store where he get's to pick out whatever he wants. (At least this is what we tell Taylor and Lily).
This was taken at Cour D'lene, (I forget the name of the resturaunt), but they had the biggest sundaes ever! Our whole family got stuffed on just one.....which is saying alot.
Two buddies. I love this picture. I found these two in Lily's bed reading books. (notice the bowl of cereal, crumby sheets-yuck). Lily is a very good older sister. Someday I'm sure Arick will appreciate it.
Las Vegas in March--love it! It's always so warm and sunny when we visit our "desert cousins"! We went to the LDS temple there and took some pictures, this one I thought was sort of cute. Travis with his mini-me.
Mia, Benji and Arick in the 4th of July parade. They were thrilled. It was about 100 degrees and they were actually really good sports since we made them sit and get pulled around in that hot, plastic wagon while we waited and walked, and walked some more and then wanted them to smile for a picture--yeah right! Arick's cheeks are so red....and I love the bug antennas coming out of Benji's helmet!
There are soo many good memories of this summer. It honestly was one of the best summers I can remember. Thanks to everyone that visited and let us visit them and to all of our friends and family.....we love you!
