My Youngest.......

He's been working really hard these past three months, he has lost 30 pounds (219 to 189), and also 14+ inches by going to Crossfit Unknown 5 days a week, and also he was on the Paleo diet for one month without cheating. 
Also, he's flying off to HERE today - seems like there is always something exciting going on in his life.

He may drive me (and Kacey) crazy sometimes, but it's never boring, that's for sure.

Love you Lando !

Great Weekend so far......

My "Honey" done did, some "Honey-Do's"

These two babies make us smile ALL the time :)

We caught the boy's basketball game with Landon and Kacey and Payson

Angels making Angels.....haha

These two are up to something - we'll share soon !
NO, they are not pregnant :)

I bought Roger D. a little "egg basket" on Morgan Mom's.  He is quite the chicken farmer :)

And finally, we end with a piano solo, courtesy of Thatcher 

Good night

Yes it was........
Bethany cancelled :(..... and I was seriously sad.....
But, that did mean I was able to go with the family to my mom's for dinner.  She really goes out of her way to take care of all of us.  I know it's a lot of extra work, but the love she and Dad have for all of us is evident.
Ham, creamed beans, corn (frozen from Dad's garden), homemade rolls, with butter and jam, augratin  (sp?) potatoes, red jello, with and without mandarin oranges, and of course, pumpkin pie with whipped cream.  Who else's mom makes three pumpkin pies, one for dinner and two to give away, when it's not Thanksgiving??  She. Is. Awesome.

After dinner, we all hung around, and watched the little boys play and squeel, and laugh, and try to walk.  It was so much fun.  It was Thatcher's actual birthday, and he was in FINE FORM.  Payson was all giggly too, and as I bounced them on my knees, singing Pony Boy, and then put them down and they hugged (as well as one year olds can do), I couldn't help but feel so very blessed.
  It was a great night.

After I came home, I helped Annette with Karly's blog.  She went to the MTC today.  She will be a great missionary, and I'll get to help chronicle it ! Yahoo.....you know how I love to blog :)

All in all it was a great evening !

Birthday Boys

Tagg turned 5 a couple of days ago on the 8th

Thatcher turns 1 on the 13th

They did a combined birthday party celebration for the family last night.  CJ worked so hard on it (as she usually does), and everything turned out just wonderful.  We all gathered together, opened presents and had sloppy Joe's

Tagg's theme was Jake the Pirate, and he was so cute.  The cake was awesome with sand, and buried treasure chest filled with edible treasure !  

Payson didn't know if he liked all of the commotion !

Tagg was sure excited for Treyson's present

A roaring, moving, blazing eyed T-rex.  Didn't faze Thatch  (with ball in mouth) at all :)

One of my favorite moments of the night was when Tagg was looking at the "The Year I Was Four" book I made him, and as he kept turning the pages and looking at the pictures, kept saying over and over, "That was good times..... That was good times......."

Thatch LOVED his cake - he was all sorts of SERIOUS with it.  It took him a little while to get going, but boy when he did, he loved it.  (see video below)
