Halloween 2010

Not much on this post, just some photos. Russ couldn't decide on a costume until about a week before Halloween. There were a lot of sleepless nights working on this one of a kind costume. If you've ever seen clips from the video game Batman Arkham Asylum this is Scarecrow....





Our little "Green Reaper" and Dead Rag Doll

Pumpkin Patch

It's that time again, the time to head out to Pack's Pumpkin Patch in Farmington, to get our pumpkins for Halloween! The kids always have a great time picking their own pumpkins that they can carve. That will come later....

From Kinder Grad to 1st Grade!

I really wish I had a little more time to get everything done that I want to...This blog is on the list! Going through my files of pics I realized just how behind I really am. Payton is now in 1st grade! I can't believe how big she's getting! She loves her teacher, but her computer teacher she says looks like a vampire and she really needs to learn how to do her makeup! She got in trouble cuz she didn't want to ask her a question cuz she was scared of her, so she just did whatever she wanted...She has now at least started asking friends when she's not sure what to do. Anyway, here is some pics from kinder grad and her 1st day of 1st grade...

4th of July

This year we went to Bear Lake for the 4th. Of course we had to stop in Evanston and get some fireworks. I was a bit hesitant because of what happened a few years back with those dang things!! My finger still has issues from it! Any way It was a lot of fun. Payton lost her 1st tooth while up there! She was so excited! Her Aunts told her that the tooth fairy in bear lake had more money since there is not many kids up there....Thank you Aunties!! Well we were home on Monday and did a few fireworks at home with Melissa and Valerie. Yep Melissa was in town, It was great to see her. Ok now for some pics. We also did a little model shoot with some experimenting with flash. check those out on the photo blog! rmrzphotoz.blogspot.com

My toothless girl!

Crazy Face!
Doesn't Russ look excited to be in this photo? My kids Love their Aunt Melissa!
Koen with his 4-wheeling faces

Zoo, Stitches, and Mothers day!

Heather was in town this last week, so we headed to the zoo. I didn't take many pics, since I have a ton of every animal from previous trips!


Payton and Kwynn
They really do LOVE each other. Really!

Payton eating cotton candy. you'd think they were starved as fast as this stuff was gone!
Koen crying over something? not sure what it was now.

Koen on the Merry go Round.
And if your wondering about the stitches, take a wild guess and who it was.... Right. RUSS. This makes for his 1st for the year. ugh! I was able to put in 2 of the 7 stitches, so that was fun!


Mother's day was great. Friday at work Russ and the kids sent me 2 dozen roses! It was so sweet! I also got a new camera bag, but it's still too small for all my stuff. Oh well we'll find one that works! I woke up to a spotless kitchen and family room, laundry folded and put away. Russ stayed up until 5 am cleaning up! Who new he had it in him?! (btw, the house was a real mess) The kids made me their own bouquet of "flowers". LOVE it! I also got a home made card from Payton, and a picture with frame that she made at school. I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!




The kids' bouquet!

Just thought I would share what I get to look at every day out my back windows!

Easter 2010

Now I do realize I have been horrible at keeping up on my blog. Life has been crazy busy and I just haven't had time to post much. Well here is Easter! I know, I know it is Easter and I'm posting... see I'm trying to get better! On a suckier note I'm pretty sure Russ has the flu. Flu A, which is a respiratory flu, the same that we would look for when looking for H1N1. Although I'm not sure it's that, since we have not seen any of that is quite some time, but you never know. And as for me, yesterday I was running to help Koen go poop ( he can't quite reach the toilet to sit yet) and I guess he thought I was not coming so he stopped and I ran right into him, hitting my foot on the back of his, and well I think I might have broken my foot! We'll see tomorrow when/if I get an xray. Anyway here are some pics of coloring eggs and Easter morning! I've decided to put it into a collage cuz there were so many pics to choose from.

Angel...

My little angel gets herself all dressed up and asks me to take some pictures. "I don't know why I love pictures so much." She says.... Hmmmm... I think it's pretty obvious!

Grateful!

I am soooo grateful for all my family and friends giving us so much support! Love you all!

My Family...

I just Love my Family!! 'nough said!
