12 YEARS AND COUNTING

On a snowy day 12 years ago, Lynette thought she married the perfect man.

Since then, the truth has come out. But she stuck around anyway.

Happy Anniversary!

11.10.12

Boo! Did We Scare You?

Halloween came and went and fun was had all around!  Of course we have to eat a good nutritious meal, which our kids love!  

After dinner it was time to show off how we play with our food!

We must always put our best face forward when it comes to impressing our neighbors.

(Some of these aren't jack-o-laterns...)

We finally get dressed up and ready to go scrounge for dessert.

Everyone assumes their positions.

One must always take a chaperone with one while scrounging for dessert.

The chaperone got his dessert before he left the house.

Characters inside and out!

Fall Break?

Really, fall break?  Why? I've never quite understood why we have fall break, but I'm not one to stop the fun from happening just because I don't think school needs to be out.  So what do we do?  We pack up and take some great friends and head south!  It's hard to be an indoorsy person when you have such incredible views in this area to see!  Our girls love going hiking and to go to Zion.  So off we went with baby-sitters is tow!!!

Can't you see the excitement of being on a hike?

Gorgeous fall colors!!

What a beautiful picture!

Our Cute - T!

Weeping rock weeping all over Shayla

I love my girls!!!

Pull out a camera and Cambree knows what to do!

Seriously, Lynette, take off those glasses!

Cambree loving the little  rock statues!

Wow! Shayla, you're strong!!

(our favorite babysitters! Emilee and Lauren)

Fun family memories!

 

The fall leaves were incredible!

Our rock climber.

Our happy group!  

Can't wait until we see where our next step takes us!

Sports Season!

It's fall, which means we should spend our time on the sports field!  So soccer, here we come!  Cambree is playing soccer for her third time.  She loves it!  She does well and loves to run the field!  She gets mad when she has to sit out and let someone else play.  The best part is playing on the same team as her "twinner" friend.  Even us moms have a hard time telling the two girls apart on the field.

 Soccer was never Shayla's favorite sport. But when her friend invited her to be on the same team that her dad was coaching, Shayla wasn't going to be left out.  She's liked it better this time around, and even decided to score!!!!! She could forever be on defense, but loves to run and score too.

Of course Tianne is at every game, cheering on her sisters. (And playing with the dogs that are brought with the teammates' families.)

The best part of fall is having friends call and offer tickets to see a football game!  Having great seats added to the fun!  Go BYU!!!

Kindergarten!!!

Can someone please tell me what has happened?  Yesterday I brought home a beautiful baby girl, and then I turned around and she's walking out my door for the first day of Kindergarten.  Where did time go?  She was soooo ready and soooo excited!  Not to mention soooo grown up.  

She had to have all the same pictures 

that Shayla gets taken on the first day of school.

Tianne doesn't know what she's going to do without her Cambree!

Lined up and ready to go into the school.

So attentive!  Listening closely.

(cue mom crying!)

After this story I got the best hug I have ever received from my Cambree!

Tears were streaming down my face as I tried my best to be brave for my

 excited little girl!

We made it!  "School is Cool!" After school with a big smile!

And one incredible big sister waiting to meet her after school!!!!

I'm so glad my girls love school!  I hope they always do.  I, however, will forever find school my enemy for taking away my babies and turning them into little women.
