So fun to get together!! Patty has stayed her same gorgeous self inside and out of course! She now has her new baby here and she is BEAUTIFUL!! Patty is loving every minute of it! The funniest part was that for a good 15 minutes Amy didn't even realize she was sitting next to Renerah, so funny!

My little buddy!

Burnin' off some energy

In preparation for her modeling contract....

So Devin, trying to get in some ear action.

NO CHEESE!

This is how Shelbee really feels about having her picture taken.

Me and Syd

The Miley Cyrus concert.

Miley Cyrus, Syds hero!

Sydnee got Miley concert tickets for her birthday. I have found a secret about concerts. After you buy your tickets on line, the day of the concert you can go down to the ticket office and upgrade your tickets. This last time it didn't cost me anymore money, and we upgraded to the front row! We were literally right behind Miley's grandma and sister. Syd had a ball of course! Miley got sick a bolted off stage during the 3rd song. I guess she was sick. Wouldn't it suck to not be able to call in sick when you are sick?? She came back out though and did a great job. My only complaint is that she was dressed like a tramp!

Shelbee

If she looks a little nervous, she is! She hates having her picture taken. I still think she is precious! She is my baby, and of course, spoiled rotten! She is my side kick and a rarely go anywhere with out her. By some genetic mix up, she got this long, blonde, curly hair, and bright blue eyes. She says words like norvos (nervous), larius (hilarious), and acully (actually). She is constantly in a dream world, talking to herself, playing with trucks or babies, she is very versitle! We love having her in our family. She will answer lots of nicknames, usually tiny. She is a daddys girl and loves to go help out on the funny farm. She loves outside. I LOVE YOU SHEL SHEL!!

Devin is 7!

This is my tiger! When he was little, I thought I would never survive! He was so full of IT, I could hardly keep up! Wardrobe crisis daily, constantly changing his clothes, picky, picky eater and a rough neck! Now, 90% of the time he is so EASY! Other than I have to ride him daily to keep his room clean, which is never clean and drives me nuts! He plays with Shelbee so cute, he looks after his little sis. He is soooooooo patriotic, he gets all teared up about war, soldiers, and flags! He seriously chokes back the tears when he hears "I'm proud to be an American". This kid has wheels. He is good at every sport. He catches pop flies at his t-ball games, hits home runs, there is fire under his shoes when he runs. It is hysterical to watch. Parents are constantly coming up to us and telling us how good he is. He is also really good at wrestling which is coming up soon. He is all business about it, and takes no prisoners. But, his FAVORITE is football, Chad is constantly playing catch with him. He has Tony Romo paraphernalia all over his room, and knows all about football. He is still too little to play even flag football. There are accelerated leagues which are tackle, but his nervous nurse of a mother can't have that yet. I am too afraid of a head or neck injury. Sorry Dev. He is doing so good in school, I laugh my head off because I have not worked with him hardly at all. I know I am terrible. He is reading on an "I" level, which is awesome for a first grader! GOOD JOB BUDDY!! I love you!

A summer full of birthdays!

How lucky am I??? I can not believe I have a 9 year old! Sydnee is so much fun to have around. She is our entertainer. Don't be suprised if you see her in Hollywood, she is a top notch DRAMA QUEEN! She is hilarious, and keeps us laughing all the time. She can put on a concert in that room of hers that I should be charging tickets for. Hannah, miley, taylor, she knows every word to every song. I also love that she has a tender little heart and is soooooo cute with Shelbee. She feels bad if someone gets there feelings hurt, and is so considerate of others. I also LOVE that she will stick up for herself. When we went to the dentist this summer, she told the dentist she would punch him if her hurt her, I was flabbergasted, but kind of liked it! I was so shocked, I was at a loss for words (ya me)! I LOVE YOU SYDNEE!!! Thanks for being such a good kid!

Playing catch up!

Ew...... if do say so myself, they are sooooooooo yummy! Shelbee hates having her picture taken. This is about as good as it gets with her,but I'm not complaining, still adorable! My AWESOME friend and neighbor Leslie took these pictures just before school started. THANKS AGAIN LESLIE!!

My Baby is 3!!

How sad!! My baby is THREE!! I can't believe its been three years since we brought this little dolly home. She has been so fun and so easy, and holds her own with her brother and sister. Believe me she knows lots of "bad words". That 4 year "break" between her and Devin has turned out so far to be awesome! Both Syd and Dev are so cute with Shelbee (most of the time). They think she is so funny, Dev loves to help her get dressed in the morning, which I of course love!! She is a mammas girl, and loves to go with me everywhere. In fact, she is sitting by me while I blog right now talking to herself. She is hilarious and makes me laugh everyday!! She would not hear of going to nursery instead of our primary class. I love being her favorite! I know it won't last forever, so I am loving it. For weeks before her birthday she was telling me she wanted a jeep for her birthday,I pulled different ones up on KSL to show her and she was very particular about which ones she wanted. One looked sort of like one Devin has that looks like a 4 wheeler and she said "no, I dot one of dose, I want a jeep" But after all her presents I asked her which present she liked the best and she said "the cake". I am so lucky to be her mommy. I LOVE YOU SHELBEE!!
