it was a good day today

quaiden.

and.

grandpa.

gotta love Cami.

she'll put up with me putting a camera in

her face, as long as she can check

herself out afterward.

Porter wasn't to sure about the camera either.

After a while, all he cared about was playing with

baby brother.

He thought it was fun to pop the binky in, and watch Quaiden

spit it out.

*laugh*

mom with her sweetie.

*sigh*

this was a fun part of our weekend too.

I'm SO far behind in our family

blogging. I'm going to have to do

some serious back tracking....

one of these days.

It's a good thing that I've been

so busy.  It just gets a little hard

to keep up on non-critical things.

I took these a week ago,

when we were visiting in Logan.

Maranda and Caitlyn have been friends

literally

from the day they were born.

It's so fun to watch these girls grow up.

We have been gone from Logan

for almost ten years.

However,

every time we go back

for a visit - 

no matter how quick -

it's like these two have never been apart.

I love it.

I love them.

Friends are good.

I'm so lucky to have so many.

I'm glad my daughter is so lucky too.

love you pootie and lynnie.

Cayenne's Birthday

Cay's 12th birthday was clear back

at the beginning of May - 

but we just got a hold

of this photo, so we're finally posting it.

For Cay's birthday,

she was able to go to a book

signing for one of our family's favorite

book series -

"Fablehaven",

by Brandon Mull

We were all jealous,

but so VERY excited for Cayenne.

Happy Birthday Cay!!!

Brin's Birthday

my baby is six today.

she thinks she's six-teen.

like her sister.

but she's still

my

baby.

i love you poop.

Man my wife looks good by the ocean! Maybe we should spend more time there.

THEY ARE UP.

Mexico photos are up on Facebook, HERE.  If you do not have a FB account, sorry.  There's over 200 pictures.  Not gonna blog that many.  Maybe a couple, in another post - on another day.  However, for today, I'm DONE sitting at the computer. 

xoxoxo

Ok, dumb.  My goal was to finish editing one set of family photos, and then up date my personal blog today. I accomplished the photos, but now it's 11 p.m., and I have nothing left in me today! But I can't go to bed without finishing what I set out to do!!! The guilt of not finishing will keep me up all night.  So this is nothing more than a Facebook status, I'm afraid.  I WILL update. I WILL post Mexico pictures. I WILL post all the fun things my kids have been doing. I WILL DO IT!!!!
