Gracie was feeling left out so here is a picture for her.
I love you Grace!!! Love MOM

... Quincey came downstairs wearing her snow boots,

church dress, and her hoody. She looked absolutely

ridiculous so I told her to sit down so I could

take her picture. Well I ended up editing this

picture so much that you can't really see how

silly she looked. Sometimes I get a little carried away

editing my pictures and this is what I came up with.

Quincey helped me pick the colors.

We finally found some shoes that fit Cooper. He is so proud of them he has to wear them everywhere. The first day that he got them he was sooo mad he had to take them off when it was time to get pajamas on. So of course he got his own way and had to wear them with his PJs. I wanted to get a picture of him wearing his shoes, but he is a mover. I can't get him to sit still long enough to snap a picture of him.

Cooper loves to look out the window every morning, and

this is what he saw this morning. Not only a tractor but his

daddy getting out of the tractor. Whenever Cooper sees a

tractor, jeep, or 4-wheeler he gets in a trance and is so

intrigued by them. Hmmm...... I wonder why?

Both Faith & Cooper are not feeling so well today. Faith woke up screaming half way through her nap with an ear ache, and Copper has had a fever for the last 2 days and has a yucky cough and snotty nose. Sounds like fun huh? After dinner we rode bikes trying to keep every body happy. It worked for a while but the fun wore off fast.

Well this is what Quin & Grace look like after a long day of

swimming. They are trying to go swimming as much as they

can because the pool will be closing in a week or two. School

will be starting in 20 days. Yikes that is crazy!!! I can't believe

that summer is going to be over soon, it seems like just

yesterday we were waiting for it to finally warm up. Oh

and by the way Gracie finally lost her first tooth. She is so

proud

So today I was trying to make my bed and it seems that

when ever I try I always have a little helper (or two).

I am glad she is so willing to help.

Photo Shoot #101

Quincey & Gracie's cousin Analise is staying with us for a couple of days. We decided to go on a photo adventure today so I could get some more practice. The girls cooperated sooo good. (Who says bribery doesn't work!) As you can see the photographer(me) is still learning and I am excited to keep on learning. I am having so much FUN with this photo thing. Definitely a new hobby.

This last weekend was the big 24th of July Celebration.

This is what Cooper & I did during the parade. We found

a nice shady spot and just hung out, while the girls were on

the street collecting as much candy as they could. As you

can see Cooper is all boy, he has to check out every

crack and crevice. I love this boy like

CRAZY!!!

24th of July

For the 24th of July we went to a place called Harris Pond

with my family. It is a large irrigation pond that has a

water slide, a zip line, canoes, a swing, an enormous slip & slide,

a trapeze bar, a water fountain, and a bridge. The older kids had

a blast, but as you can see the babies didn't have quite as much

fun. We took a lot of walks trying to keep their minds

off of the water.

I scream U scream We all scream for

ICE CREAM!!!

Oh-how Cooper loves ICE CREAM.

During swimming lessons we would stop next

door and get all the cousins an ICE CREAM.

Cooper would always SCREAM for his ICE CREAM.

He didn't seem to care that it was cold all over his

face and body. He could polish his off before

the older kids, cone and all. I really liked how this

picture captured his two cute bottom teeth and his baby

tooth buds coming in on the top.

I have been learning some new photo tricks, so I have

been practicing today. I think I have found a new addiction!!

I know this picture is pretty fuzzy, but we

all know that practice makes perfect.

Tell me what do you think? (Thanks Amy)

I just remembered that I made this page and never blogged it.

My little Quincey is growing up fast.

Bear Lake

The lighting in this picture isn't the greatest but Quincey

looks really pretty in it.

Gracie was feeling left out because I have not posted any pictures of her lately. This is the latest event in her life. Not a fun one but it is over with. Yah!!!

My little helper

Just thought I would let ya all know that I can no longer do my dishes while Cooper is awake. The second I open it he thinks that he needs to be standing on it. Not good for the dishwasher!!!

OWWEEEE

Faith was having such a bad day. I lost track how many times she had fallen. By the end of the day she was looking pretty bad. There is nothing better than a hot bath and a drink of milk on a day like this one.

Quincey's 8th Birthday

Well for the last week Quincey has woken me up every morning at about 5:30 a.m. to let me know how many days were left until her birthday. It has finally come and gone. She gets so excited that she almost makes herself sick. It is kind of nice to have another birthday over with, but it is also sad to think that my little Quincey is no longer little and that she is growing up really fast. We ate pizza and opened presents at the Hornets Nest. Some of the things Quincey got: A Hannah Montana suitcase and some clothes, a new bike, her ears pierced, a lip smacker kit, and a huge Hannah cake with a lip gloss guitar on it. Here are a few pictures from her birthday party.

The kids and I spent the weekend in Kuna at my sisters house. It was a big weekend for their family. Hallie got baptized and Livee got blessed. I am glad that we were able be a part of their day. Man that's alot of kids!! People must think were crazy when they see us all together. Oh well we still have alot of fun even though it gets CRAZY with all the kids!

Happy Birthday Cooper

I can't believe that Cooper is already one. It seems just like yesterday we were in the hospital praying for his life, and now he is one and full of life. I can't imagine life without this little boy. I love him to pieces.

Welcome to our blog. Hopefully I can figure this blogging thing out so I can keep you updated.
