I found this blog through…actually, I can’t remember where I found the link, but I’m really enjoying it! She has so many fun things and ideas on there, so many give aways, and it’s just fun!
I’ve kind of become a blog-stalker…so many people have blogs that give great ideas, inspiration, and fun things to try. Thank you to everyone who has a blog! You keep me quite entertained!!!

I’m LOVING THESE PICTURES! Here’s a few more:

I love this last one…I think it’d make a REALLY cute picture for their wall or something!

So, I’ve seen a few people out there who design their own desktop every month with a cute picture and a calendar of the month. Here’s what I came up with…

I seriously love these pictures and the artistic feel to them! And Mike, I gotta say that I think it’s great to see how much you love Nicole and Gavin in these pictures. I can’t wait to see you kiss your sweet son on the head when he comes! Nicole, you totally radiate even with the ‘grunge’ feel of the pictures! (Oh, don’t worry Mike…I think you only look THAT gray because of the contrast change!) 😉

My friend, Triana, who is starting her photography business took our family pictures last Saturday. She’s been a busy bee and I’m so excited for her! We met her at the BYU duck pond at the south end of campus and started playing. We took a few family shots playing on the ground (until Spencer bumped his nose and got a nose bleed), let Mikey & Coley do their family shots and maternity shots, then did a few more family shots. While Mikey and Coley were up, Spencer and Evie played. Triana snapped a few shots of my kids but Evie NEVER SMILED. What an attitude!!!! 🙂 But she’s my attitude, right!?!? 😀 We tried pleasing the kids by sitting where they wanted to see if we could get them to smile…it worked with Spencer, plus Mikey throwing little pod berry things at him, but not with Evie. Triana was awesome though and always tried looking for an artistic and expressive look. She put this picture on her photography blog of Evie and her ‘tude and I just love it!

I am SO going to have her take our family pictures every year and for those of you who read this and live in Utah, you should totally consider her to take yours as well.  I’ll post more pictures once she’s done editing them and giving them this “grungy/rustic” feel that I love so much. Seriously, take a look at her site and HIRE HER! She’s wonderful and amazing!!!!   http://ordfamily.sk8erord.com/

Here’s a few more:

So Evie’s top teeth are FINALLY coming in! She was so willing to stick out her tongue and show off her teeth!

So, after 30 minutes outside talking with my neighbor, Shana (who the day before FRIED the back of her legs and I laughed at her), I ended up looking like this!

And all I can say is OUCH! OUCHIE! Please, pity me! 🙂

I just had to share this gorgeous sunset with you.

We are SO excited! We got tickets to see Brian Regan in August! It’ll be hot since it’s outdoors but we’ll sit through the heat to see him! He is HILARIOUS! (comedian).

We like to see how Spencer thinks through everything…his mind is just amazing to us and we know we’re in for a laugh! Here’s some from this morning:

***********************

I’m talking to daddy and Spencer is trying to tell me something.

Mommy? Mommy?

Hold on Spencer. When I put this finger up {my pointer finger} it means ‘wait a sec.’

Spencer pauses.

Mommy? Mommy?

Steve and I just laughed and let Spencer tell us his story.

************************

Steve: “Spencer, why did we buy a new van?”

Spencer – Answer #1: “Because I like the color.”

Spencer – Answer #2: “Because I wanted it.”

********************************************

Steve: “I’ll snap you like a twig!”

Spencer: “I”ll snap YOU like a PIG!”
