Pics of the kids!

My cousin, Malea, took these pics last month of the kids! I think they turned out amazing!

Happy Birthday to my Pippi Girl!

My Pippi turned 3 yesterday! She woke up to her new big girl bike! She's in heaven! Then she could choose anywhere for lunch; she went big and chose arctic circle! Then home for nap time... Then onto the family party at grandma jillys! We had pizza, cake and ice cream. She chose a Dora and Diego cake, but when I picked it up, it was tiny! So, Matt ran to the sams club to pick up another cake. He came back with angry bird cupcakes; piper loved them! Hence the Angry Dora birthday party! She LOVED all her presents! She got 2 cute dresses, play kitchen things, princess dress up shoes, coloring activities, a little laptop, and a U of U cheer leading outfit! She made out like a bandit this year! Then lots of playing in the water with her cousins! Great, great night! She started running a fever and coughing during her party, then had a rough night last night so I took her to the dr this morning. She has pneumonia... Beck and I have also had it, so I'm guessing it was just in the cards! She's on antibiotics now and luckily has all sorts of fun activities to keep her busy today!

Happy 35th birthday Matter!

June 12th, Matt turned the big 3-5!!! He golfed with friends in the morning, then we had lunch with friends. Then Becketts baseball game with cake and ice cream following at our house! Fun, fun day!!!!

Grandpa Payne turns 85!

June 8th, we celebrated grandpa paynes 85th birthday with cake and ice cream at jillys!

Fathers Day 2012

Happy fathers day to the amazing men in my life! Matt worked today, so we surprised him there with cards, gifts and cupcakes! Then dinner at grandma jillys and then to grandma and grandpa paynes house because grandpa wasn't feeling well. Talk about hilarious!!! The kids, all 7 of them, fighting over 2 swings, York entertaining the littles by riding them all over the yard on grandmas "jazzy," and grandpa trying in vain to hand out $2 bills and tell a story about them! Fun, memorable night!!!

Baseball with Grandpa Payne

My grandpa loves baseball! He's always played; then he coached my mom; then he coached me... I have so many memories of me and my grandpa together, and I'm so incredibly grateful that my children have been able to enjoy him as much as I did! He'll be 85 next week, and his health isn't great. His health has really declined this past year, but he couldn't say no to Becketts request to play catch today! Other than falling once, my grandpa played catch like a champ! The girls played hula hoop while my grandma and I watched from the patio. It was a great night with the kids' great grandparents, and I'm so glad to have taken a few pictures to remember it!

Twinners!

The girls are always wanting to be twins! Today, they were pretty close! I think they are pretty dang cute!
