Moms 'n Muffins

Moms 'n muffins

Every year we go, this year Shilo was sick and had to miss out though.

It's fun to get to have breakfast with the kids and their friends and other moms.

{ and I kinda like that John stays home and receives kids for me in the am, gives him an opportunity to see how my days run everyday. And he's happy to do it! Sweet guy.}

Chastin and I got done and walked around to visit a little, it was a pleasant way to start our day!

Mothers day 2011

the kids put together a

picture collage for me

we all wore black and white to church
{very sleek, if i do say so myself}


i love these guys!

Black Buck

So Much FUN! They were great!
Can't wait till we get to see them play again.

Warming up

Rockin' out

love how Rob is such a rock star that he

had to wear his glasses on stage~in the dark:)

Chad was so funny about sweating~ he made light of it by saying

"can we get a mop up here?" maybe he should do a little stand up on the side!

They were so loud I had to steal ear plugs from Kelly... guess I'm getting old..

It is so fun to see dads rocking out and having so much fun!

I should have gotten a group picture of Robs groupies.. oh well.

Oh, and one of the best parts of the night was that I was carded as I went in the door of the bar/club! For a Mormon girl who never buys anything to get carded for it was pretty exciting! He said I didn't look old enough to be 21!

whoot! whoot!

Crystals 30th

Crystal is one of my very best friends, she loves to have herself a party.

So this year, she decided that for her big 30, we would go to the greenwood senior canter and play karaoke bingo! the catch was that you had to dress up like seniors or your best bingo lady.

So i hit my grandmothers closet! Borrowed a pink polyester suite, black knee highs, white flats, a blouse with a big bow and her cameo clip on earrings. {which made my ear lobes throb}

I used the lipstick on the cheeks for rouge, outlined the outer most line of my lips and borrowed a vintage hat from my mothers collection. I think i rocked it pretty good!

As for John, i picked him up a polyester bowling shirt from DI. That was about all i was going to talk him into wearing... unfortunately everyone actually LIKED the shirt and he threatens to wear it all the time!











We had such a good time!

And I'm aching to go back!











Hope we are this cute when we are old.
















Crystal, Natasha and I all went to SCC together. It's fun to have friends that you have had that long.

Crystal borrowed her outfit from her grandmother and aunt, and as you can see, she went the bingo lady route. She got a set at her salon so she would have big hair and carried around a bottle cooler! Tash, found her warm up suite {complete with gold flecks!} at goodwill then added an airline pillow to her tummy for that low tummy pouch she's rockin'.

What a great idea for a party!

Ward talent show

John brought a 'small' display of some of his coolest Star Wars stuff
It was a big hit! Stuff people had never seen before~ like life size Yoda his cool wife of won him from block buster 10+ years ago

Chastin and Ridge played Twinkle Twinkle little star duet

and did very well!

Alex sang a song while playing his guitar

Shilo jumped rope with her big brothers turning the rope for her.

Jordan made he delicious brownies {so good i didn't even get one!}

It was a fun night filled with lots of neat displays, good food, poems, music and pez dispensers!

First haircut

We took a trip to Uncle Toms Barber shop
last week for True's First haircut.
I was prepared for a quick stint in the
chair, with a half finished hair cut, but True was a
trooper! And I think uncle Tom has cut so many
heads of hair, on squirmy kids and all, that he
has a calm presence about him and the kids
are perfectly happy to oblige in sitting still...

The Before

He was SO good! Not a tear, he didn't even move! He watched the basketball game on the t.v, looked around with his eyes~ not moving his little head one little inch!

The After

He looks so much older and like a little

handsome man! I keep feeling the back of his little head and telling him how cute he is!

{Thanks Uncle Tom for doing such a great job!}

Woodland Park Zoo

The kids favorite part of the zoo is feeding the birds!
Jordans friend Jaymson came with us to the zoo, he was really helpful with True and I was glad he was able to spend the day with us.
{the kids sure love him!}

True is the perfect age for the zoo! He is really good at getting in and out of the stroller and being quite when he needs to be.

I think he could enjoy the zoo everyday!

True kept throwing his stick when the birds would come near him!

Jayme picked him up so he could get a bird to eat off his stick, but he just kept throwing the stick on the ground and saying" get it!"

These kids are the best of friends.

They are lucky to have each other and I'm glad I get to take extra days off work and spend extra time with them... It was a fun day!
