My favorite pics from the past week, I know, I'm taking way to many!!

Marlee was gone to girls camp this week so I didn't get any of her, but she's already promised to model for me this week. My kids are starting to get tired of all the pictures, can't blame them I guess!


Teagan, he's way too cute, for some reason he holds his breath when I take pictures of him, so after a couple of pictures he falls to the ground breathing hard.






Cole, his favorite thing to do after I take pictures of him is to take them of me.






Well Kiya cut her own bangs, she has been wanting them for about 2 years and I keep telling her NO, I don't like bangs!! So she finally went and did it herself, luckily they don't look too bad, I havn't even taken her in to get them fixed, and she still looks cute, even though I still don't really like bangs. What do you do?






Ryken has a really hard time sitting still for any pictures, but when he does he will NOT look at me, bug!! I thought these turned out cute.









This is what he likes to do when it's picture time, funny huh.






Here is Ryken in Boise a couple of weeks ago.

Fun Pics of New York!!

We got back from New York last week and I think I’m just now recovering from all the walking. I felt like we walked 20 miles a day and I think we were all speed walking to keep up with Tara since her legs are way longer than all of ours. I went with Marlee, my mom and three of my sisters. We had a ton of fun seeing all the sites, touring NBC studio, taking a boat tour, walking though Central Park, taking lots of Pics. We stayed 2 nights at my friend Jessie’s house and 4 nights in a hotel near Time Square. The last night we were there my friend Jessie took to the beach and we all went out to dinner. We had several star sighting, thanks to Tara’s and Noelle’s keen eyes, and one naked lady being painted in the park. Here are some of the pictures we took.

Teagan's Preschool Graduation!!

This is part of his class, according to his teacher all the girls want to marry him, and he loves it!!

Great job Teagan!!! We love you!!

Having fun with my new camera taking action shots!!

Cole is loving baseball, he is doing really well, it has been a cold season, hopefully things will start warming up soon!

This is Kiya's 8th season in soccer, her and Cole have been on the same team every season which is nice because I get to coach both of them.

This is Cole's 9th season in soccer, he says he likes soccer better than football, basketball and baseball. I think it's because he has played for so long and is really good at it. It's been so fun to coach them, but I think after this season I am going to take a break.

Marlee's city track meet, breaking city records held for 27 years!!!

Marlee had her city track meet this week. Yes I'm going to brag a little, isn't that what mom's do. Marlee got 1st place in her 100m open almost breaking the city record, she got 13.4 seconds the record is 13.3. In her 200m open she got 1st place almost breaking the record again with a time of 27.86 seconds, city record 27.33. She is the first 7th grade girl to have a time under 28 seconds in around 7 years!! Her times we also faster in both the 100 and the 200 than all the 8th grade girls and all but 1 of the 7th grade boys. Marlee's 4x1 relay team broke the city record held since 1981, (27 years) with a time of 56 sec, which was faster than the 7th grade boys team. This is a picture of the girls. Her 4x2 relay team placed second. Way to go Marlee!!!! We are so proud of you!!! Down below are several video clips of her city races this week.
