Family Pictures

Thanks to our friends Tyler & Janell Burkett....they took our pictures a couple of days ago and did a wonderful job. It's not easy getting a family of 6 to all look at the camera at the same time and to get a half way decent shot. We love the pictures!

To get Crew to look Tyler kept telling Crew to look at him and find him in his camera lense, so here is Crew squinting trying to find Tyler in the lense.....so funny, that's our Crewser!

Lots of Pictures

Here is our little princess ballerina Marlee. This little girl will be 10 months tomorrow and I can't stand it. It's amazing how fast time does fly. She's getting so much fun. She's taking steps and will be walking here all too soon. She loves baby dolls and likes to kiss and hug them. She say's "dada" and all kinds of other ramblings. LOVES to be with her mom but she is getting better at exploring her surroundings and playing with the kids. Is still a stinker when it comes to sleep....she thinks it's totally overrated! I'm dreaming of the day when I get a full nights sleep.
We all love this little girl, can't imagine life without her...even when I'm totally exhausted I can't help but pick her up and love on her. She's our last so I'm counting on all my brother's wives to keep those babies coming so I don't get baby hungry!

Everybody came home to celebrate my dads birthday on Halloween. It was fun for all the little cousins to get together and go to the carnival together.

Here is grandma Braelyn Goodman....such a cute little old lady.

Crew the Batman.

Lillyan the baby ghost.

Madisen the Rock Star!

Here is Travis, Brent's friend, holding little Lilly. Travis is pretty much like family, he fits right in with this crazy bunch.

My dad's birthday is on Halloween so we celebrated before we all got the kids ready for the carnival. All the grand kids wanted to "help" papa blow out the candles.

Isn't she so cute?!

This was a rare occasion. She let uncle Brent hold her and she even fell asleep on him. Now putting her down in her crib was a whole other story but it was fun while it lasted.

Marlee, Madisen and cousin Lilly. Notice how I have to hold Marlee's hands down, she just wanted to get at Lilly....mainly her pacifier since it's just like hers.

Madi loves holding her little baby cousins.

Mama and Marlee. This is where you will usually find her, attached to my hip. She puts a whole new meaning to the term mama's girl!

Cheese!!!

Here is the newest addition to our family...Lillyan. She is so sweet. She makes Marlee seem so big and I'm not so sure I'm ready for my baby to be growing up so fast.

Marlee likes to give her mom kisses along with her baby doll. It's so cute to watch her with her baby. You ask here "where's your baby" and she will go find it and kiss it and love it....it's so sweet.

This picture cracked me up of little Braelyn's hair....another sweet little girl. You have to see this girl dance, she can really shake her booty!

I loved Crew's face in this picture.

Madisen's first day of school. She loves these boots!

Family Home Evening

I was trying to figure out what to do for FHE the other night so I pulled out the Friend and found this story. I started to laugh because our Madi had a "Grumpy Morning" the previous day. I told Madisen to read it and to give our lesson on this story. She did a good job and learned a lesson about being grumpy. We thought it was cute because it kind of looks like her, same name and she definantly has her grumpy moments.

Here is her 1st grade picture. I thought it turned out so cute. We love our Mad Dog, she's smart, funny, beautiful, sassy, momma's helper and yes, even grumpy from time to time! Love you bunches, Madi!

Family

My nephew Kade was baptised on the 4th of July in Lehi, Utah. The whole family was able to go and be together which was so fun because that doesn't happen often with Denton and his family living in Utah. Here is me with my brother Denton. I'm the only girl with 4 brothers. They are the best brothers and take good care of me, I love them all so much! Here is my mom and dad, Denton, Jen and Kade.

We had some good food afterwards at the Church. Just enjoying being together.

Koye loving on his sister.

Denton bought a bunch of fireworks that we let off in his street. We could also see the big ones from his house.

We had yummy shakes to eat while we watched. Braelyn is enjoying some with her mommy.

Here is Kali and Madi. These two are stuck together like glue when they are together...too bad they live in Utah.

Marlee got a good view from my shoulders. She didn't make a peep the whole time we were watching the fireworks and they got pretty loud.

Happy 4th of July

Here are all the grand kids. It was so funny to see all of us parents singing, making noises, dancing, just to get the kids to look at us and try to smile. The best picture would have been of all the parents.

Hanging out and enjoing the food.

Isn't she so cute! It's not the 4th of July without Watermelon.

We loved being able to hang out in the grass in Denton's front lawn, the weather was perfect. We would eat, play football and just enjoy the company.

Cute picture of Braelyn and her daddy.

Kade roasting hot dogs.

The boys eating.

Madi wanted to roast her own hot dog.

Mimi and Marlee.

Trip To Temple Square

Denton's kids and my kids couldn't resist the water. We just knew at any moment one of them was going to fall in.

Crew's hair got all wet, he was loving splashing himself. He thought his hair was pretty funny.

The family.

Me, brothers, mom & dad.
