the "right before church" shot
at my parents house. walter changed out of his church clothes BEFORE picture time. that we do every year. EVERY YEAR! thus, the jacket borrowed from scott. also, on a side note, i went to my parents/sisters RS just so i could hold and kiss that baby.
the goofy sisters+1 cute pregnant sister
brenton believes that BRADY + BRENTON=TOTAL EPICNESS

and now i have a sugar headache and a too much meat stomach ache...thank you Easter.

this has nothing to do with earth day

sweet mother of patience

please help me make to the end. of. JULY. if this movie doesn't live up to the hype that is now ingrained in my crazy brain, i will be so so so sad. i swear hollywood...

check out THIS 3 year old

only two people could come up with some answers. YOU GUYS ARE SO BORING. although i do congragulate the two, my sister and brett, for giving me something. thank you for playing along. in the video below you will find the answer.

and she never used any training wheels. pretty cool huh?

the one you have been waiting for

i finally get to show it to you. i figured out how to blackmail/coerce her into letting me show this to you. now, in return, i would like you to comment and guess what it was that i had to do or am going to do.

wherein my kids take over the camera

sometimes

sometimes i find this show funny.

sometimes i find this show corny.

sometimes i find this show truly touching.

i suppose someone could find this moment to be corny but, i found it to be TOUCHING. i have luckily never had to go through something like this but, i do have friends who have had their trials conceiving. to them i say I LOVE YOU.

haunting me

i am now starting to have nightmares with/about snow. nightmares. i want you to think of one of your bad dreams and then literally add lots of snow to story. this is the snow hell i am living in. it is so bad that my subconscious is saying "GET US OUTTA HERE". just another point to add to list of "things i need to speak with a therapist about". i can see it now

therapist: what is it that bothers you?

me: being a polygamist in the snow.

that's entertainment

at 10:30PM.

eight is great

she was very vocal to me about how much SHE DIDN'T LIKE THESE PICTURES! too bad, so sad

just can't get enough

we bought a box of mango's at Costco. i now enjoy a bowl of this luscious goodness for dessert every night. my kids have also developed a sweet tooth for it too. tessa sits next to me and tells me how delissus it is! AND OH IT IS SO VERY DELISSUS. kylee turns 8 tomorrow. she is going to have a MAKEOVER MAKEUP PARTY. now i just need to go find a bunch of cheap makeup.

S.N.O.W.

It snowed. Utah is stupid. It just makes everything feel so wrong. That's all I feel like saying today. Boo.

It is April first (just a friendly FYI)

Tessa has decided she no longer needs naps. She is three and a something, therefore she is now allowed to jump all over her mother during the time of napdom. During this transition, I am left with a shorter fuse and the extreme urge to yell STOP IT and SHUT UP. I know it is APRIL FOOLS DAY but, I am left without the will to care to come up with anything. Lucky you. NO JOKE FOR YOU. The stupid mother effing joke is on me. And for the cherry on top, she is going through the same sleep issues brenton did at this age. SUPER! All of you mothers out there who have these great, happy, wonderful, sleeping three year old angels CAN SUCK IT! what? I am totally happy today.
