sunflowers

The sunflowers right now are just incredible and this is one of hundreds of fields that all look this beautiful!! I had to take pictures of my girls before these flowers die!! I just love sunflowers!

My happy baby girl!!

Yard!

Mom this post is for you and anyone else who cares what my yard looks like! but my mom helped me plant my flowers so I just wanted her to see them now!

this is my pot that I planted it's still alive but doesnt look as good as my moms

this is my moms pot gthe pictures dont really do it justice but it looks much better than mine!

You can see our patio almost finished you can see the fountain in the back corner and the small bench for kids way to the right of the picture! excuse the deflated pool in the center of the picture. and the hooks around the top of the wall are for lanterns it is fun to have them lit at night time.

my large planter along the back of my lawn it actually looks pretty good I cant tell you how many times I thought it was going to die but kept coming back to life!!

My favorite feature!! grass and this is no normal grass it is beutiful thick kentucky blue grass and we love every second of it!! was well worth the money just to lay sod instead of seed!

new pictures!

2 of my favorite people!!

I'm a little worried about avy considering I sucked my thumb until I was 10!! but it's not all the time so maybe it wont stick!!

We went to the boyles house and kensi got to do one of her favorite things!!! dress up!! and we even went home with 3 new dress up dresses thanks boyles your wonderful.

Loving the bumboo Avy is now big enough to sit in it and she loves it!! she is getting so fun she giggles now and talks like crazy!! I'll try and post a video!!

It looks like we beat our child!! this is from mosquito bites she is way sensitive to them so they get huge!! she can barely open her eye!!

utah trip! and blessing

okay be prepaired for pictures. I havent posted in a couple weeks so you get it all in one post. so a lot of pictures without a lot of writing so sorry! My cutie avy that is now smiling and cooing like crazy so much fun! no routiene yet but we are working on it.

Her in her beautiful blessing dress of grandpa's that my grandps wore my mother wore I wore and kensi wore it is beautiful!

We decided to bless Avy in our home ward and it was wonderful! Marks parents were there to visit so we were glad to have some family but it was wonderful to have a circle of amazing friends!

Kensi and her 4th dress Avy has the same one and for some reason I did not get a picture of both of them in the dress!

Swimming at the wonderful neighbors we had a lot of fun too bad there was a ton of wind and it was cold but kensi didn't seem too bothered by it!

This is one of the pictures of us in utah kensi running through the sprinklers it took some coaxing to get her to go but then I could not get her to stop!

Our trip to bear lake was wonderful. There was a sand bar way out so it looks like they are walking on water! We are so grateful for bec and phil for planning it and ryan and mic for coming with us it ended up being so much fun!!

Avy enjoying herself at the beach!

Kensi and Irelynd had their own personal poold that bec dug. that way they got to play in the sand and be in the water at the same time.

The water fights begin!

This was our trip to Lagoon! we had so much fun this is us on the train!

I talked my sister and her kids into coming too and of course my wonderful mother came to babysit. I had not ridden rides in many years so I paid to go and had a blast! I was also shocked at how good the girls did! espicially avy who slept the whole 7 hours we were there only waking up to eat!

Kensi on the mary-go-round it took a little bit of forse but she went on it and had fun!

The cars Kensi's favorite ride!

Avy just enjoying the summer day!

All of us sitting down to enjoy lunchKensi is off pooping in the corner of corse!

Kensi waiting in line for her first ride!

Her first ride I was scared that she would hate it and I was shocked at how much she liked it I think because it sprayed you with water and kensi loves water just like her daddy! Too bad the rest of the rides werent as easy going as this one!

The beginning to a fun day at lagoon! I love that I have yet to learn how to post my pictures in order!

The day before we went to lagoon we decided to go over to Cathy D's pool and swim it was a lot of fun and kensi is getting better at swimming!

Two beautiful girls

My new favorite picture! the other day Avy was about 3 weeks old and kensi was realizing that this baby was staying around! so she decided to make the most of it! I had just gotten avy to sleep and layed her down! and in comes kensi with two baby dolls and one was for avy so she looked at her on the couch and she didnt see that I was watching but she then layed the baby down by avy and slowly pushed it closer and closer! I thought it was the cuttest thing ever and I love these precious moments that make life worth while!
My cuttest family!

I decided to dress up my two girls and take some pictures for fathers day! Now I'm no where as good as my sister at taking pictures but the girls were in a good mood so that made it easier!

Two big girls! I have this picture with kensi and londyn and love is so I decided to try it again.

My beautiful Kensi at 2 1/2 years old!

her cheesy pose where she says cheese as she is smiling so the smile looks a little fake!

Avy now 6 weeks old is getting so big so fast! she is already almost 11 pounds! I'm not used to a chubby baby but I love it!

Of course you have to have the close up!

look a like

I decided to post pictures of how much my two girls look a like but it is hard because of there 3 lb difference and the fact that Avy has darker and a ton more hair!

Avy at probably 3 days old

And kensi at about 3month old ha ha in the same outfit!

Kensi the day she was born!

Avy the day she was born!

The famous weight picture I actually dont think they look a like in this one but in my head I thought they looked a lot a like!
so this is Avy and the same size scale!

Kensi at a much smaller weight!

new pictures

My baby is 4 weeks old and I cannot believe how fast time has already gone! we are going good and cherishing the nights that are more than 4 hours sleep!! Avy smiled for the first time yesterday and is already getting so big. I love having a chubby baby because kensi never was!!

My wonderful sister took these pictures the other day and I loved the way they turned out!!! She is getting so stinkin good at taking pictures and I'm grateful that she is willing to practice on my children.

look at the cute little nakedness!

I love the close up to see every detail!
