Crazy me!!!

Baribe & her photo op... lookin' HOT!

Brandi lookin' HOT & turnin' heads on every man we passed...

Havin' fun in the HOT summer sun!

Today is a blistering HOT summer day, the girls wanted to jump on the trampoline & play with the water… This is what they decided to achieve with both ideas! There are days I yearn to be a child again.

Dinner with Uncle Josh...

Josh was out of town most of the time so one night he flew in to have dinner with us which made the kids HAPPY.

The Old Spaghetti Factory was the one place we could think of that could handle our BIG group & deal with all our CRAZY WILD kids! By the end of our dinner, our server was so excited to see us go that she even helped us out to our cars…You’ve got to love that place.

Oregon Zoo...

The Zoo was fun, & the kids enjoyed it too!

Sophia growling like a bear!

What a milestone for Patience… she is almost as tall as a bear. This now means I can excuse her grumpy attitude when it comes around on the fact that she is just being herself a bear! ;) Which we all know that does not happen very often since she is an Angel.

Chocolate Fountain

Our generous Addison decided that she could be tolerable & let her family use her Chocolate Fountain… However, she had to be the one to turn it on & off for every one. I found it quite amusing how all the kids ended up doing the Chocolate Fountain the same way Addie does it, without the fruit & only a BIG spoon! It was Chocolate chaos…

The Chocolate Fountain was a big hit among the boys too!


The Chocolate Fountain was such a mess by the end it took a few hours to clean it up… & I was the lucky one with that job. ; )

Hannah's Birthday with her family...

Hannah is so sweet she wanted to have a small Birthday with her family. We spend the day shopping, & just doing what ever she wanted to do. For her Birthday dinner, she wanted me to make her favorite dinner & brownies for a Birthday cake. She had a great day & was very pleased to get a fishing pole, now she is counting down the days until she gets to go on a "SNEAK" with her dad & use her new pole.

swimin' at Ganer & Papa Scott's Marriott pool...

I find it quite astounding how kids turn into little fish whenever they are around body of water! After swimming for the majority of the day, we pulled our kids out of the pool their hands & feet looked like raisins. However, they did crash hard when it was bedtime, which was nice for us mommies!

We pretty much had the pool to ourselves, consequently the kids were a bit wilder & did things that they would not normally do if it had other people there. We are just pleased that they get a long so well…






What a superior time we all had!

Havin' a good time at Multnomah Falls...

OMSI Body World 3 & playin' with the Family...

OMSI is a place you can never get bored of it always has things to do not just for kids but also for adults. Our kids had a fantastic time in the science rooms, however Truman loved the little tike room hanging out with other little boys his age & showin’ off all his skills that they did not have yet… Of course, my sweet nephew is well above other babies his same age! (We make only smart & talented kids)



Sophia was our little University of Utah Cheerleader for the day, which made her very happy all day long!







The kids & parents found Body World 3 very fascinating everyone took in the information & enjoyed how astonished the young kids thought it all was… If you have not seen Body World 3, you need to go it is amazing!

Seaside Oregon Beach...

Some of the cutest kids in this world!

Top to bottom...
Sophia, Grayce, Kade, Hannah, Patience, Truman, Kyle, & Addison

We are so excited to have some of my family here at our new home for ten days.

Here are only five of my favorite nieces & nephews taking pictures with my girls. Kyle & Kade belong to my older & wiser sister Brandi. Grayce, Sophia, & Truman belong to my younger & smarter sister Barbie. However if you look hard enough you can see that they get their good looks from their favorite aunt… that would be me! ; )

Jumpin' on their new toy!

The girls got a trampoline & they love every minute they are on it. I am sure that someone is going to get injure on it; however, I am the one who has to look away whenever someone is doing something that could be dangerous. I do not like blood I could possibility pass out at the sight of blood. I do need to purchase the barrier that goes around it to make certain no one gets hurt.

Portland Beavers game...

Addison & her daddy playing a game while I tried to watch the game, they were being silly & havin’ a good Ole' time!

Look at how charming those parents are…


PJ is as cute as a button!


Addison loves to hang on her daddy's lap!




The cutest little Ladies in Oregon!

Sophia’s Railing…

Josh has been working his HOT butt off to make a rail for Hannah & Addie’s loft in their room. It needs to be finish by Thursday, before my sweet sisters & their fabulous kids get into town. It is looking superior & only hour’s way from being completed!
The girls named it after their wild cousin Sophia, as they have a crazy feeling that she would be the one to try to jump off or stand on the edge & make everyone nervous! Josh & I agreed with the girls we do not want to send Sophia home with a new broken arm.
Josh had several helpers, which made him a proud daddy to recognize that the girls wanted to give him aid with the making of Sophia’s Rail & be with him…


It is DONE,yeah...
