Family Pictures, 2010

Ok, so I finally got these to upload! We got family pictures taken with my side of the family. Jammie Hansen took them and, not supriseingly, did a great job.

All of us
My Boys.




My AWESOME mom and dad.

Andy Turns FIVE!

My first born had a birthday last week and is officially a FIVE YEAR OLD! Where time has gone, I really don't know.

I don't know why, but every year, Andy picks an un-popular theme for his birthday party, thus making it more work for me and more difficult to pull off. Super man party supplies are nowhere to be found in sanpete county! This superman doll you see next to his cake was once "Havoc", a popular wrestler, I believe, which came from the dollar store. He was naked, except for black panties and black boots. I painted his super man clothing on and made his cape and super glued it on! It turned out to be much funner than I had anticipated... Then I made this cake. Bought red, yellow and blue balloons, and WALLAH! A Super man party!

My SUPER 5 Yr. old!!
Had to get a pic of the cousins. Don't you just love the Bell dress Savanna is sporting?!
And this picture is just to make you smile.....you're smiling, aren't you!

Oh, and one more thing. We had family pictures taken, one of them being on the top of our blog. I really wanted to post them all, but for some reason I can't get them to upload on a post...or on facebook. It says it's uploading...for hours, but just doesn't do it. So if anyone has any idea what the problem could be, or has any idea how I could get it to work, I would really appreciate any advice!

When we lose our humanity......

...........it's a sad thing.

12:00 midnight, walmart. Chaos is exploding around me. Everywhere there's movment. I'm the only one standing still, trying to obsorb what's happening, with eyes wide, mouth hanging open. I see people getting hit in the head, shoved to the ground, and still I stand, starring, absorbing.I can't help but think of a starving pride of lions, fighting over a carcuss. That's when I decide, there is no "good deal" or "great savings" that would be worth acting like a wild animal. I must escape, and somehow I do.

I have promised myself never to return. My humanity is far to precious to me....

Preschool and Elk Hunt


I'm a little behind, but here is Andy and Maddex on their first day of preschool, which was Sept. 8th. They both LOVE school. This is Maddex's first year. I asked him the other day if he liked the kids at school. His reply was "Nope. I just like Andy, he's my favorite."
I've been so nervous to send them to school together, cause even though they do play together and are with eachother 24/7, they still get in some pretty bad fights, and I didn't want them to give their teacher grief, but so far, she claims they haven't fought, and Andy loves helping Maddex with everything.

Brandon drew out for the big bull hunt this year and got a nice one. Unfortunately, though, he shot from quite a long distance and couldn't see that his one horn was broke off right above the second tine. It's big on one side though! Looks like we'll be having a lot of elk stake this winter.

Photo Shoot

When Andy was a baby, Brandon and I took him to kiddie Candids and got a cute picture of him in a baseball outfit at 3 months of age. When Maddex was born, we decided to get a matching picture of him, also at 3 months of age. Well, of course I wanted a matching picture of Dane at three months, so my awesome sis-in-law, Tosha, took his picture to match my other boys. Thanks Tosh! They turned out darling! It's fun to see all three boys, side by side, to see all the similarities and differences.


ANDREW AT 3 Months
MADDEX AT 3 MONTHS
DANE AT 3 MONTHS




And of course Andy and Maddex had to get in on the action!

Growing Boys

I thought I'd post some new pictures my mom took with her camera.

Here is little Dane. He's growing like a weed! It kinda makes me sad.

Since Dane is most likely our last, I am obsessed about enjoying every moment of him being a baby, cause they aren't babies for very long. I hold him probably more than I should. But I LOVE babies. Even in the middle of the night!




When I saw a picture my mom had taken in this particular chair, I had to post this picture taken in december of 2008 in the same chair. They are on opposite sides, but its fun to look at and see just how much they have changed in the last year and a half.

Maddex is getting so tall and looking so much older. He will deffinately be a heart braker with those beautiful brown eyes.

When these three get together....well, lets just say they never have a dull moment.

It's hard to get A picture of Maddex without his tongue sticking out. You have to take it without him knowing, the little stinker!

I had to post a picture of my darling little Nephew, Dakson. You seriously can't look at this kid and not have a smile come to your lips.

Andy and his little "Lady".

I have no idea what Maddex is trying to do here, but I think modeling may be in his future :)

Summer has flown by too quickly. It's so true that time goes by faster the older you get. so I'm feeling very old. In July I hit 25. The middle of my twenties. Didn't I just get my driver's liscense???? Could it be that I'm really a mother of three??? At the rate things are going, I'll be a grandma before I can blink my eyes.
