If you have time...

Well I came across this blog through another friends blog and haven't been able to stop reading...It is a family in Vegas who has just lost their baby girl in a drowning accident about a month ago and the mom has the most amazing posts. Her baby died June 14th, 15th?...anyway- I started reading at the "Im invested" blog...crazy tears, be ready to cry, and be inspired.... http://www.adailyscoop.blogspot.com

A fun week...

We have been busy this week with lots of stuff to do. Monday we went to Milli's baby shower in Draper, and then Tuesday we went and swam at her house with her sister and her kids, lauren and cannon, Mandy and Addi- Presley had a ball and Knox wanted nothing to do with the water...oh well so then I took them both swimming at the dorm pool and knox loved the baby pool because he could climb in and out, in and out...it was crazy. And my little Presley loves the water, she always has. when we lived at the beach she would run in until the water was over her head. I need to get swimming lessons for her.

Knox and Presley got some new chairs the other day ( well new for us, I bought them used- way cheaper than new !). They are the potterybarn anywhere chairs. Anyway- Knox absolutely loves it !! He loves things that are his size. Presley finds it fun to climb on them and try and reach things that she isn't supposed to, but I guess that is to be expected from a 3 year old.

I know it is blurry, but he was cheesing for the pic !

And then...I was busy outside with Presley riding her bike and Knox successfully found a mud puddle and ...

I hosed him off outside before I took him upstairs, it was an absolute mess, and he loved every minute of it !

A Dress and Ginger Ale...

Alright so this is a post for my mom to see Presley in the dress that she just sent her. Presley loves it and wanted to wear it to bed, but I talked her out of it. She did however still sleep in her new sandals that have Cinderella, Belle, and Snow White on them. She loves Princess stuff.

So as you all know from the previous post Bry gave Knox a mohawk. And as you will see he has taken it a little far in living up to the life style of a man with a mohawk...Enjoy

Being a bad influence on his sister...

Crazy wild dance party...

The morning After...haha :)

And hopefully none of you are really concerned that we would get our kids drunk...of course not just a buzz on Ginger Ale !

DAD DID WHAT !!!!!!!!!!

Dad did what ! A Mohawk !! Yeah I sent the boys upstairs to cut their hair and this is how he brought Knox back outside. I think we will leave it a couple days.

































And this is the kind of smile we get when Presley is eating pudding...a nasty brown one !!

i knew it then
but my heart belonged to another
seems like a cruel thing to have revealed in the service of the Master
only He knows hearts
and He knew mine
He knew that my heart was His
it still is
He knew that revelation would not yield my heart to another...
...not then
time and patience nourished the roots for a fruitful future
i knew her before i met her
i saw her in my youth
never knew how i would meet her
nor where the occasion would occur
but i knew it when it happened
and i locked it up in my heart until time and patience allowed nourishment to bear fruit
and i know now more than ever
7 years
the world travelled over
fish, birds, a cat, a dog...
babies!
sweet babies!
sweet beautiful babies!
life filled with joy unspeakable!
7 has been heaven
i yearn for 11...
...and beyond
a love that is not bound by time
nor ever shall be
bound for eternity
hands clasped in covenant
forever...
forever...
forever...
there is no other to share such joy with
i love her
i thank her for 7
i yearn for 11 - and beyond
i knew it then
i know it now
i shall know it forever
when nourishment and care shall bear everlasting fruit
thank you for the best years of my life cynthia ann
I LOVE YOU!
Happy 7 Years!

Anyway Lets list 10 reasons why he is the love of my life !!

1. He thinks I am beautiful.

2. He has made beautiful children

3. He is a wonderful cook

4. He is the smartest person I know.

5. He is a true servant of the Lord, and is dilegent in all of his callings

6. He has the most beautiful eyes

7. He loves to play with his children

8. He can fix anything

9. He is sooooo creative

10. He shows me he loves me everyday

So just 10 pretty simple reasons why I am so happy to be with Bry.

Here are some pictures of where we were 7 years ago together !

Blogging stupor..

                                                                    Our little mower

Ummm...lets see, not too much has been going on. As you can tell we have been in a blogging stupor, with nothing to blog about.  We have definitely been enjoying our 62 degree weather ! Not having to use our air conditioner has been awesome. Bryan bought Presley a bike for $3 at the DI (the Utah version of the GoodWill) Any way it has princess' on it so of course she loves it, we make her wear her helmet which she isn't crazy about but whatever. She was really having a hard time alternating the pedaling, she has figured it out now and looks so cute on her little bike. Knox is giving kisses left and right and he flirts with everyone. He is such a cute bug. He likes to think that he is big and does everything that his sister does. He tries to say sissy, but it comes out as sisssssss. He has an ear infection right now, but you wouldn't know it, he is running everywhere.   Bry has one more week before school starts again. Our house is supposed to close this wed. so we are cutting our losses and actually coming out owing $3,900. Absolutely sucks- but I am sure it could be worse, I have heard some horror stories about how much people are upside down in their homes when they sell them because the market has bottomed out. Just feel blessed to be getting rid of it. Paying rent and mortgage has completely drained us. Well I know that this is a lame post but it was time for something new, we have really just been hanging out so not too much to post about- we can always post about our bumbles growth and milestones but that gets boring for some.  Here are some funny things that Pnut has said lately...

1. "Knox" with her hands on her hips "I am very mpointed at you".... meaning she was very DISAPPOINTED, she got that lecture earlier in the week and decided her brother needed it.

2. " Look I'm spiderman girl "

3.  She is riding her bike and I'm following along "go mom, go over there and sit with your friends I do it by meself"

4.  "I see it, I see the dingle bells mom !!" In reference to the BYU bell tower.

5.  with hands on her hips and shaking one leg " All pretty girls wear skirts mom"  She was standing with her friend and they were wearing blue jean skirts today.

6. "I'm the best cook, I'm the mom cook"  I guess that means that moms are great.

where she comes up with stuff I have no idea !!

Our 3 year old riding her bike.

Knox with a helmet- He loved it !
