Landon's such a Ham!



So Landon is the cutest, happiest baby that I think has ever been born! He is such a HAM! Everytime he sees you his face lights up into this amazing smile, his eyes get so big and bright and he flashes you those cute little dimples! He cracks us up so much! His new thing since he's learned to crawl and worse climb is that everytime I turn around he's climbing on the furniture. In these pics he's climbed onto Carson and Lilli's chairs and of course when I look over at him he smiles that smile and you can't help but laugh and forgive the kid for being so darn mischievous!

My baby boy is growing up!




So Carson just celebrated his 3rd birthday on the 3rd of June! It was a cute little party. My mom always goes all out for the kids parties and this one was no exception! Carson lately is into Thomas the Train. It's been great for getting him potty trained finally! So my mom threw him a Thomas themed birthday party including the home made train cake that she made for him! It was such a fun cute party! We had a pinata...thomas of course and a silly string fight! And although it was so fun it was a little bittersweet for me because everytime I look at him he looks older and older and it hit me that pretty soon he'll be starting preschool, hopefully in the fall, and I just don't think that I'm ready for him to grow up quite yet!! If I could I'd leave my kids little forever!

Wrestling with Daddy




Ok so the other day Chris started wrestling on the floor with Carson. It was so cute! Then I got a great idea to have the other two gang up on him as well! I grabbed a camera and got a couple of pretty cute shots!

The Kids


This is my baby Landon! Currently he is 9 months old. He's the cutest thing, but don't let him fool you he is nothing but trouble!


Ahh my baby girl Lilliana! She is 21 months old and she is cute but a true girl! She's sassy, and man does she have an attitude!



My baby boy Carson! He actually just celebrated his 3rd birthday! He's getting so big I hate it and love it at the same time! He makes me smile everytime I see his cute little face! I love it that he looks just like his Daddy!

The little Angels


Ok so the other day we were out taking pics of the kids for a father's day present. I just loved this picture of the three of them! I was just so happy to catch the rare moment where one of them wasn't crying and they were all actually getting along. Aren't they so cute...at least we think so.

Costa Rica Trip






Ok so for a graduation present for me and Chris my lovely mom and dad decided that they would take us and the kids to Costa Rica for three weeks! It was amazing and truly the trip of a life time! Here's a few pictures from our trip! The scenery was breath taking and monkey's every where! They came right up to us on the beach! The kids had so much fun and we were so bummed when we had to come back to reality!

Costa Rica Trip January 2008






Here are a few more pictures from our Costa Rica trip. Three weeks sure does result in a lot of pictures! Ok so we've got a picture of the beach beauty Lilli and a picture from when we had Landon's blessing while we were there. And finally a family portrait in front of one of the many many waterfalls we visited! It was amazing!

Super Funny Kids Quotes!

New Quotes.:

I asked the kids if they wanted mommy to have another baby? They said yes so I asked Lilli if she would want a little brother, to which she replied, "We already have a little brother...it's over there."

Carson and I were playing Go Fish and as usual he beat me pretty bad ;), he quickly ran to tell daddy, "I cleaned the foor with mommy!"

I plan out the dinners for the month on a calander in the kitchen and Friday's are always pizza days. A few Friday's ago Carson was so excited ALL day for Pizza. He kept asking if it was time yet, I kept telling him it wasn't pizza time yet and finally when Chris got home from work Carson ran up to him and asked, "Daddy, NOW is it Pizza O'clock?" (translation, "is it Pizza time yet)

On the Fourth of July Chris and I took the kids to see the fireworks show and we were eager to see what Landon's reaction would be to them. As soon as they started, he got a little startled but it quickly turned to excitement and then he would point to them and say "POPCORN!"

We often drive by the new Cowboys stadium and Carson will ask about it we'll tell him it's where the Cowboys play football...the other day we went there to drop Chris and a few of my brothers off to watch a soccer game, and Carson asked about what they were going to watch, I said soccer this time not football. A week later at church when we were walking the halls Carson asks about the pictures of the Temples on the wall so we'll tell him they are Temples and explain about them and he turns to us and asks, "But what about the soccer Temple? Where's the picture of the soccer Temple?" (it's a BIG stadium and I guess to him it looked like it should be on the wall of Temples.)

We were going grocery shopping the other day, Carson asked where we were going and I told him to the food store. Right then we passed McDonalds and he asks me, "At McDonalds they sell food right?" I said yes and he asks, "If they sell food there, then it's a food store right?" I again say yes I suppose so, and he says, "Well if it's a food store, then maybe we should go there this time."

When we were in Utah Uncle Daniel would take the kids out on the trampoline every now and then. Once they were out there and Lilli was bothered that Carson was jummping and bouncing her all around so she tells him, Carson stop, you're making me bounce and Carson replied, "that's not my problem." (A little rude.)

We went to lunch one day to Paradise bakery and Chris and I got a bowl of creamy potato soup. We sat down started eating and the kids started inquiring about our soup. We said it was potato soup with cheese...Carson shoot up and said to Chris, "That sounds like my kind of soup!" (We were laughing hysterically!)
