Crazy Hair/Pajama day

This was crazy hair/pajama day at the elementary during red ribbon week. On the screen this looked focused. I was sad to see it was blurry. But, Kabri won the prize that day!

On pins and needles

I know there are many of you who can empathize with her. I don't think I can take it anymore. I used to make fun of Jared. He said that my pregnancy was too hard on him to have any more kids. Hard on him? Are you kidding? Now, watching Zoie go through this, I have a better understanding of what he must have been feeling.

We have been watching and waiting. She doesn't do much anymore. She doesn't jump, run, play. I am pretty sure she is completely miserable. So sad. She should have these pups some time at the end of this week or the beginning of next. Not soon enough for her or me!

Fat Zoie

Poor Zoie. She is due in about 2 weeks. I feel so bad for her. She gets fatter every day. She is usually so skinny. This was taken this weekend. I had her hair cut short in preparation of babies. I can't wait for babies. If anybody knows anyone who wants one, they will be ready just in time for Christmas!

Cavity Free!

We went to the dentist (Todd Huntington) on Monday to have checkups. Kabri and Koby also had to have teeth pulled to get ready for braces in a couple years. Kabri had four teeth pulled and Koby had one. Todd gave me these pictures of past checkups and made me promise to post them. Their picture is posted on the board when they go for their checkups and don't have cavities.

Reba & Kelly . . . . and, who's that? Barbara Jean!!!

Sean and Bre had tickets to the Reba & Kelly concert. Lucky me, Sean decided he didn't really want to go. So, they gave me his tickets for Christmas! Because Bre works for Zions, she gets to buy tickets before they actually go on sale. So, we were on the 13th row of the FLOOR!! Just before the concert opened Barbara Jean (Melissa Peterson from the Reba show) came out a performed her stand-up comedy. Hysterical. I loved this, being the avid Reba show fan that I am. She also came out half way through the show.

The mix between Reba and Kelly was awesome. It was a little different show than Reba usually puts on. Danyale and I bought Reba tickets from a scalper about 100 years ago and the show then was almost a broadway production. She had dancers and changed her clothes about 5 times. This was a little more low-key, but was still way awesome!!

Thanks Bre and Sean!!

Oh! The envy

Kolton got his retainer yesterday! He was ear-to-ear smiles on the way to the orthodontist's office. Apparently teeth-adjustment apparatuses is the hot look in 4th grade. Anyone who is anybody has braces or a retainer at the minimum.

Once we got back, Kabri and Koby could hardly stand it. I tried to tell them that braces and retainers are painful. But, they were still convinced they weren't painful enough to not still want them. . . . until Kolton then came up about a half hour after going to bed crying because his teeth hurt. A little tylenol and he was back on his way to "keeping his cool" as he put it.

Sunday dinner at the Bulter's

Jack and Dianne have all of us over for Sunday dinner once or twice a month. I was trying out a new lens last night and took some pictures. Usually we eat and then hang out pretty much all night.

OK, so I made the girls all get in a picture. This took us a while because I couldn't figure out how to set the automatic timer on my new camera - thanks for your diligence girls. Only the two pregnant girls whinned about it. But, they were troopers. I have to say publicly that I love these girls. I am grateful to have married into a big family of boys so that I get the pleasure of having wonderful sister in laws. May we all grow old together.


These were my favorite pictures of Bron (bottom) and Ryde (top), the two youngest boys.



Brax was hammin' it up for me. I took about 100 pictures of him running around on the deck. Up until it got too cold and we had to go inside.
