Chubby cheeks and birthdays!!

So I'm finally getting around to my Idaho Falls trips that I took a couple weeks ago....all that I have to say about this pic is "OH MY GOSH...HOW CUTE IS THIS BABY"? This isn't from any of my trips, but I had to throw it in! Do you want to bite her?!? I did...and I do!!

We were having a moment, we had a few of them while I was there!

My sweet Gracie on her blessing day! I think that Hailey would have gladly brought her home with us...where Gracie was, Hailey wasn't too far away!

You thought when I was talking about chubby cheeks I meant Gracie didn't you?!? Nope...get a load of these babies!!LOL We tend to forget that we're wives and mothers when we get together...love her!!

This was the first stop of many for my Kourtnee's birthday party...the mall of course! Nice glasses ya goofs!!

We braved the mall with many, many kids!!

Michelle took all of the girls to this cool ice~cream place called Sub Zero. You got to pick what flavor ice~cream you wanted in liquid form..then your addition(in my case cookie dough)...then they froze it right in front of you! It was pretty wild..they all loved it! By all, I mean me too! I don't have any pictures, but the last stop of the night was a movie.(Bedtime Stories) It was too fun...thanks for inviting us baby girl...I hope you had one heck of a 9th birthday!!

No post would be complete without Bradley and his gangsta pose! He was walking around all weekend with this stance saying "wowd"! Translation..."word"! What can I say...the boys got moves...cute little dude!

Getting ready for church...ya right!! They were playing the Wii and it was all I could do to keep their attention for the 30 seconds it took to take this pic!! See the remote hanging from Hailey's arm?!?HAHA

Bottom line...we always have a blast when we go visit Michelle and her clan! There's never one minute where we're not laughing our heads off...way to go Idaho!!

There is an appropriate time to brag...right?!?

I realize that a lot of you have been in my house already...but I wanted to brag...just a little bit about my hubby!! This room was like a blank canvas when we bought this house...I mean just sheetrock walls! When he informed me that he was going to attempt doing the kitchen from start to finish, I about died!! Now...don't get me wrong, Dave really is one of the most talented people I have ever met! He is literally capable of anything...but I was skeptical still. Well...as you can see, the skepticism was all for not!! I think it's pretty safe to say that this is gorgeous! I do realize that it doesn't fit just anybody's taste...but you can't argue that he is amazing!!!! He walked through the front door with a pile of wood and turned it into this!! There is one part that isn't finished, and who knows when it ever will be! I don't know if you can see it, but the counter to the right has no granite...why you ask...we still haven't been able to match it and that's a lot harder than it sounds!!!!
We didn't want to pay for a slab, but wanted something that looked equally as nice, so Dave came up with the plan to do granite tops with a travertine bullnose that he sanded by hand to give it the rounded look! He designed the backsplash and all of the moldings as well. Sometimes I wonder if he really has a clue how multi~talented he is....as a matter of fact I know he doesn't... he's too modest! Anyway...I just wanted to brag for a minute and let Dave know(even though he will never read this and would be embarrassed if he did) that he's the best, and I continue to be amazed and dazzled by him!! Love ya babe!



This pic is just an honorable mention because it's my favorite room in the house!!haha

Oh...the old toilet paper in the bum trick!!

I wish I could say this was a joke!! Nope!!

This is a random post...but I thought this was too good to pass up!! During Ry's birthday party...out comes Abbi with toilet paper stuck in a place that will remain a mystery!!haha Good thing she's only three...but don't think for a second that I'm not putting this on here for blackmail when she's 16....Poor girl! Better than being an adult and having your dress tucked into your underwear right?!?
