Nakia's baby - Rylen

I hope I don't get in trouble for posting pictures of her baby, but here he is. Nakia's baby Rylen, born two weeks ago. Isn't he cute?



As soon as Kaden gets over swine flu, I am going to go over and take more pictures. I got to babysit him last Sunday while Nakia went to her kids program at church. So, I took a few pictures of him then and I took some of their whole family, but I don't love those.

I feel like such a slacker, I was hoping to have whole bunch more taken by now, but I was afraid my kids would make them sick if we went over to their house and now I am afraid we will get swine flu from Kaden. So, yes Ben I am a bad aunt, but I will make up for it!!

Christmas with the Youngs

Yes, I did say Christmas. We decided that none of us wanted to travel this year during the winter months, so we had Christmas with Ray's family last weekend. Torey, Nichole, Kaizik and Naomi came and stayed at our house and so did grandma Walker. The all came on Friday night and left Sunday morning. It was really fun and we missed then when they were gone. Thanks for the fun weekend guys!!

Here are just a few examples of the silliness we had to endure.

Girls Weekend.

Tiff, Brooke, Allisa and I took a little road trip conference weekend and went to stay with Tiff's sister Tonia (who is our friend too). We had so much fun!! We went out to eat, shopped in Park City, went to a movie, shopped somemore and ate some more. We had a really good time and it was good to get away for a few days.



Lance took pictures for us and was such a good host all weekend.

So, we decided to make funny faces for this picture. By looking at us you can tell who complied to the "fun" request. Evidently Tiff thought tilting her head was really funny and I'm not sure about Brooke maybe it was her confused look, which is kind of funny. It was a really fun weekend and I think it is time for another trip!!
Thanks Lance and Tonia for letting us stay and for playing late night Family Fued.

I'm so lucky!!!!

This weekend was so very crazy, and I was kind of complaining that I was so tired and had so much to do these last 3 days. Which included today 6 hours of church meetings. Remember I am just stating, not complaining. Anyway, tonight as I sat down for a little me time, I decided to read some blogs, one of which was ironmanjace.blogspot.com. Jace is a little boy that went to daycare with the girls for a couple years. Jace is 6 and has lukemia. As I read through my tears his moms account of their journey through this horrible ordeal, I am so thankful for my kids and that they are healthy!!!



With that said, most of you who are reading this know how I am about my cameras. Yes, I said cameras, I have two. I sat down this week to review the pictures I had taken and found these on my memory card. I am 100% certain I didn't take these pictures and I for sure don't see any adults around. Well, last weekend while I was doing a "watch party" in my basement, Kinlee and cousins found my small camera (if it would have been my other camera, I wouldn't be posting about it, because it wouldn't have been cute!), and here are the results. Enjoy!!

They are a funny I must admit!! There were a few more, but they were EXTREME close ups. I guess if there are small children at my house, I need to keep a better eye on them. But, you would think my 9 year old would have figured out the rules around here and pass them onto the other kids that come to play, but I guess not.

Soccer

Kinlee played soccer this year and really liked it. Maybe it can be something that she can stick too and continue with. I sometimes wonder though if it is more of the social stuff that they like with sports. Anyway, it was fun for all of us and might be the closest thing I actually get to a child doing sports, since I don't have boys.

(Hey, who is that sexy lady in the background of this picture? The first person that can guess who it is and post a comment on this blog gets a free watch band.)

Dad even made it home to a game, believe it or not!! Good season Kinlee, you did a really good job!!
