Summer 2011

We have been super busy this summer and it has gone by so fast. I can't believe the kids go back to school next week. Here is our summer in pictures....

We took the boys to California and left Kami with my mom for the weekend. We went to Lego land for 2 days and the beach, It was so much fun. The boys loved having our attention!!!

Pool Time

We have spent countless hours in our pool this summer, i love having it right in our own backyard. My mom loved it too.

Me and Kami. Her hair finally fits into a little pony in the top of her head.

Love this baby. She laughs and smiles all the time.

My trip to Utah.

Kami and i went up to Utah for a weekend to go to my cousin Greg's wedding. It was so much fun seeing all my cousins and hanging out like time had never past.

The girls

The beautiful bride and groom.

Me, Dad and Kami -Thanks dad for the trip to Utah it was so fun!

Grandma and Grandpa Karren came to babysit while Brett and i went to California with my family. The boys love swimming with them everyday.

Thanks for helping us out G&G Karren!

Pool Party

Well the Pool is Finally done! We are so excited to have a pool and to be able to cool off. The kids LOVE it and swim every day, they are getting so good.

Here is our pool journey.

Digging- took them less then 5 hrs. i was very impressed.

forming the pool

pipes- aka my in floor cleaning system

spraying the cement -this was fun to watch

after the cement is done and drying

No one tells you that when you build a pool you have to spray the cement down 3X a day for 20 mins for 3 days so the cement cures.

Pool kids

Slowly Catching Up!

Peyton has finished Kindergarten!

I can't believe how much he has matured and grown this year. He is such a good kid.

Peyton has learned so much from kindergarten he has taught all of us new things. He loves math and reading, and he is really good at both. But Computers and PE are his favorite specials.

Peyton we love you!

Mrs. Cooper was his kindergarten teacher

Boys being Boys

I left Brett with the kids one night and came home to him and Kami passed out on the couch.

Kami and Brody. He is learning to be really gentle with her. He loves to play with her and find her new toys.

She is a busy girl she is crawling every where, walking along furniture and loves to hold your hands and walk around. Yes she is only 7 months.

She has stared eating some solids and is loving everything. Except maybe peas.

April Happenings!

April has been a busy month for us. I'll let the pictures explain.

The boys wrestling with Grandpa Karren

Kami girl

The 3 kids (that is still weird to say)

I love this picture of Kami, she is getting so big.

We had a few Easter egg hunts with friends and the kids loved them. Who wouldn't love finding candy in eggs.

Easter Morning

The boys had to find their Easter baskets before they could hunt for all the eggs. Peyton fpund them behind the cutains, that silly Easter bunny!

Kami love taking the boys eggs out of their baskets

All ready for church, notice Peyton picking his nose!

We never get family pics but i made Brett sit down and smile for 2 mins.

Mesa Easter Pageant

If you ever come to Arizona over Easter you need to go to the Easter Pageant at the Temple, it's amazing.

And then my mom had to go...sad day!

Kami at 5 Months

I can't believe this little girl is 5 months old already.

She is:

-still sleeping awesome 8pm-6:30am and then back down for an hour or so

- rolling every where and will be crawling soon, she inches her way

- the HAPPIEST babe around, she smiles and talks to everyone

- still in 3-6 months clothes

- drinking 6-8oz. at a time, solids are coming soon

We love you Kami girl!

This little girl is so happy just playing on the floor and watching her brothers

She loves to eat her feet!

She still can't sit up but we are practicing.

She often cries when Brody is around but he is working on being nice to her all the time!

She loves her exercauser
