The journey to 4th grade begins!!

My little Jakey started 4th grade today!! Time goes by so quickly! I love you my little Jake!

Jake put some serious thought into what his first day outfit would be:)

Rushing to meet his boyz!

So excited his BEST FRIEND was in his class again!

Jake's teacher

They got to pick their own seats... Ya I'm sure this will not last long:)

Mini Pedi's

I thought it would be fun to take Millie, Kenna and myself to get pedi's. Millie was so stinkin cute it was killing us! She was so into it! She already loves to get her nails painted so this was just the cherry on top! I think I may have just created a monster!

project

About 3 years ago I started re-painting a few things for Millie's room...As you can see I didn't get very far. Now that she is almost 3 and another one is on the way, my goal is to get this done SOON!
I am finally feeling some energy return so I need to act fast:)
Room colors: PINK & GREEN

MISSION:

Finish painting this blue dresser pink then distress a little



Add another coat to this nightstand then distress a little more.









Paint these blue chairs green then distress as well.

 


Put another green coat on this table and distress a little



OREM OWLZ

We have been spending a lot of time in Orem this summer watching baseball games:) One of Brad's good friends manages the Orem Owlz and asked brad to DJ the games at the game. It is actually lots of fun for everyone but the kids especially love it... Unless your name is Millie when the scary owl mascots come anywhere close! Poor girl:)



I pledge allegiance....









Go, go, GO.. Is what Millie says!





Hi mom!

 


Lexy and Millie



Justin and Jake doing what they do best:)



Savannah her BF, and Millie.

Time to go nigh night!















Bike rides in the summer!

Millie and I got a new summer toy!
I have not had a bike since I was little and I have been wanting one. Brad surprised me this summer with my very own bike;)
Millie really enjoys it and wants to ride it every time she walks outside!

It's probably out.....

I am getting really chunky and for those of you who don't know and have probably been wondering.... It's true, I'm pregnant! I'm 14 weeks.

I am due in February again (Millie was Feb 28th), I am really excited and would love another girl only because I wouldl not have to buy anything for this baby if it was. I probably still would, let's be honest...But it makes me feel better to say that:) I would also LOVE Millie to have a sister to grow up with!

I am very happy and excited but I am getting a little depressed as well that EVERY inch of my body is LARGE and in CHARGE..ALREADY!

Embrace it! Right? I guess # 3 will do it to you!?

SUGAR to the SNAP to the PEAS!

My babies!

Rock a bye baby!

We went to see our friends baby today! Oh boy! (rather girl)

Every time I see a baby I still can't wrap my head around the theory!

A human grows inside you, you're pregnant and then all of the sudden one day you are holding that human!

AMAZING!

And Millie was in heaven! The girl LOVES babies!

LAGOON part 3 (face painting)

Eliza wanted her face painted... Tiffany said ok and Eliza was ready to go! I said to Tiffany, "wow, you are a WAY nicer mom than I am!" I didn't really feel like $10 was worth it.

Millie was VERY interested in the face painting and watching every move!

SOo... Eliza was finished and we were ready for some more rides. I turned around to Grab Millie and where was she?? Up in the chair ready for her face paint!

I was like... Ok we'll do a little something. The lady suggested a rainbow. "Rainbows are a good idea" I said. Anytime you ask Millie what color something is she replies, "rainbow!"

So we did a Rainbow ($4) total rip off! The nice lady pulled out her mirror and said "do you like it?" Millie scowled and said "NO" while wiping it off!

Millie opened the book, pointed to the tiger and slammed the book shut! My sister Tiffany told me that she was pointing to the tiger on the sign telling her that is what she wanted....So I guess that is what she thought she was getting when we were giving her the stupid rainbow! :)

The lady held up the mirror and said " is this what you wanted?" Millie, with joy replied, "YA, I like it!"

Eliza and Millie both were in heaven the rest of the time and wanted me to take pictures and show them!

Tiffany loved to remind me the rest of the day how she was a "way nicer mom than me!" LOL! The things we do to make our kids happy!

Funny girl Eliza so statue like!

Eliza looked at herself for about 20 min!

Millie waiting for her turn!

The "Rainbow"

" I like it!"

Holding so still!

HI!



Face painted cousins!



The boys having a really good attitude
about riding the carousel with Millie!

Millie and Daddy!



 

LAGOON part 2 (cooling off)

LAGOON part 1

We went to lagoon the other day! I can honestly say that I have not been to lagoon since I was about 16.
I have put it off for a long time on purpose!

 Jake ALWAYS wants to go but I feel like it is totally white trash and I didn't really want to go spend any amount of time there.

I must say I was actually surprised at how fun and NON-CROWDED it was! We didn't wait in line at all. The bigger rides for the boys and Brad were only about a 5-10 min wait!

It helped that we went on a Tuesday in the middle of the day! We will totally go again!

Millie loved the rides!

Jake, Eliza, & Solomon.

Xander crammed himself into this ride so Millie would not have to ride alone!

Millie loved this ride for some reason!
She wanted to go again, and again!



Millie and Sollie





LOL, LOL, LOL!! Please blow this photo up and look at my

darling sister and her friend SMASHING poor LITTLE Sollie's HEAD with THEIR elbows!!



The kid crew!
