bored and not feeling good leads to this.... Be funky.com

i'm pretty sure i'll be wasting some more time here.

My kids have been going bonkers the past few days. they are driving me nuts following me around the house and destroying things i have just cleaned. it is to hot to play outside for a long amount of time ( says them, not i )

My boys really get along well for the most part but they have been fighting non- stop. Ezra will say something and Eli will say " no" and then they will bicker back and forth until someone eventually gets punched or bitten. sooooooo we decided to take a "break" from every day life and just have fun. we met my mom and friend merilee and went to draper park for the day. Merilee brought her fancy camera and took some great pictures.

the boys admiring mr hippie rockstar up close and personal. Merilees boy Parker was so funny about the guitar. We watched him sneak closer and closer until he was right next to the guitar.



i love this picture of hayden and ez searching for snakes

handsome baby boy


parker and beebye

this picture makes me laugh so hard. abe is not so fond of cold water. every time we would try to put his feet in the stream he would lift them up. silly goose!

We had lots of fun. Thanks merilee for the awesomely amazing pictures!

think of all the 16 year old boys you know. now let me brag about a very sweet and special 16 year old i know. last week as we were driving home from my parents i got a phone call. little brother mike says " jackie open your glove box and look for a white envelope." i did and this is what i found. handwritten instructions for $30 to go to all the kids for a disneyland treat! seriously $30 is alot for a kid to give someone, and i am such a big baby that i actually almost cried about it. really i was just so glad that we have such great families. my boys are so lucky to be loved by so many people. mike is so great he is always planning and scheming and doing special things for everyone. thanks again baby brother ( who just happens to tower over me at 6 foot 4! hopefully he's done growing) and see you later alligators , we are off to disneyland!

baby habey

how is this boy is 5 months old already? i love this guy so much. he is so happy and pleasant. he wants to be like his big brothers and is happy by them and down at their level. he is just starting food and loves kefir. love you little boy.

thanksgiving and cool stuff...

we went to my in laws home for thanksgiving where delicious food and fun was had by all. including a dr. mario tournament played on the wii ( which my dearest hubby of course won)many thanks to my mother in law for a yummy dinner, my favorite was the smoked turkey and sweet potato souffle. jame's cousin heather and her husband billy have this great business that they started a while ago. you may have seen some of the pictures at deseret book. these are by far the coolest pictures of temple i have seen . i love them and i bet you will too...
