Long time...

It's been a long time since I have blogged, but I'm back at it. LOTS has happened since I last blogged, we have moved, Jeff got a new job, summer came and went, we went back east to visit my brothers for a week, my in laws sent their mission papers in, CRAZY days!!
More explantation to come soon!

Catch up!

I has been a long time since I have posted. I feel like I have been so busy, and sick and had injuries. I fell down my stairs and tore something in my foot, luckily I have a great sister that took me to the doc. he gave me a shoe to wear to not have it move around  and crutches, well me and crutches aren't friends so I didn't use them much, it has been 2 months and it still hurts a little but so much better then it was, thankfully! A few weeks after my foot injury I noticed a painful rash on my upper shoulder/neck, I thought it might be a bug bite or something, after a few days it started looking different, and it seems, it was SHINGLES! Luckily it was a very mild case, I only had that one spot, but oh was it painful. 

Now it is healing and I am doing much better.

Bailey turned 13!! So now I have 2 teenagers at my house,

 and let me tell you I am not sure if I was ready for it, oh the DRAMA!!

Now it's 2 and a half weeks til christmas, I am getting my cards out and I am almost done with my shopping, YAY! If you would like a christmas card from me, 

just message me your address and I will send it your way. 

I will try to blog more, I do use instagram a lot,

CAMERON

Cameron had a skate competition the other week, 

I didn't take a lot of pictures but here are a few.

 It is really fun to watch him skate.

Wordless Wednesday

We were bored and decided to go on a Sunday drive, It happened to be at Happy Hour (@Sonic) so we got some slushes and drove up Hobble creek canyon. the boys thought it would be a great idea to bring air soft guns, I enjoyed the drive, Jeff and the boys enjoyed the air soft and bailey listened to music, and her brothers let her shoot a few times too.

Summer daze...

I can't believe my kids go back to school in just a few days,
Summer went by FAST!
I LOVE fall time and getting back on a schedule etc. but I am not sure this year if I am ready
for Summer to be done!
Brandon had his first soccer game the other day, so we will have soccer games twice a week,
Bailey starts back up Piano lessons and Cameron starts high school,
that's right HIGH SCHOOL, WOW I am getting old!!!
So I will have a 7th grader, 9th grader and 3rd grader...It's going to be a BUSY year!

                         They were really watching the game, you wouldn't know it with their earphones in

Brandon was Baptized on Aug 4th. Doesn't he look so Handsome!! I was so glad that so many family members and friends came to support him! He looks all grown up in his suit, which happens to be Cameron's when he was 8, hard to believe Cameron was that little at one time, he is now a little taller than me!!

After the baptism we came back to our house for lunch, then later in the afternoon we went and saw hunger games, Cameron and Brandon had not seen it yet, I still LOVED it the 2nd time!

                                                                           COUSINS!

                                                    The girls, I took this while they were eating.

Boot Camp

    Brandon turned 8!!

He had a great day, we let our kids pick where they want to eat for their Birthday dinner, Brandon use to choose Carls Jr., now he chooses one of our favorite mexican places Joe Veras.

I threw him a BOOT CAMP party for him and his friends, Jeff set up the

boot camp course with help from Cameron it included:

Grenade throwing (water balloons shaped like grenades)

Army crawling under booby traps

Tire throwing

sack racing

pulling Jeffs Jeep

They all had a Blast!! Then we ate cake and ice cream and had a little bit of a water fight!

He is so excited that he is now a Scout and gets to go every week, he also starts soccer in a few weeks,

my baby is getting BIG!!

8 is GREAT!

 

I can't believe that Brandon is 8 years old today!!

Time flys way to fast. Yesterday was his first day of Scouts and he got to go to a scout camp for the day.

He had so much fun, and even bought a pocket knife with his money that I sent him with.

He came home so happy and told me everything they did, slingshots, bb gubs, folding flags, crafts etc.

Brandon is my baby, sad to think that he is getting older, I love that he still likes to cuddle with me and  he still lets me hug and kiss him up.

A few things about Brandon:

He LOVES video games (a little too much)

He still enjoys dressing in his spiderman and batman outfits

He rides his dirt bike (he wants to be like his Dad)

He follows and looks up to his Brother 

He is a animal lover

His smile melts my heart

We have a big day planned tomorrow for his birthday party, we are having a boot camp with all his friends, so my house will be decked out all camo.
