july- part 2

so....  after we learned my foot was ok- we decided that we would surprise chirsy-poo and get to ut to his farewell.  so the 2 little babies and i flew to ut.  the flight although i was terrified to fly with monkey and z, mostly monkey cuz he is so busy.  but both boys were so so awesome!  it was a really good flight.  although on the flight- we caught laryngitis.  it really was sad.  but i had no idea that is what i had, i thought it was just a really bad cold, and then poor monkey got it.  so i could do NOTHING.  the only thing i could do was take care of him and hold him.  the whole time.  so it was everyone else was taking care of z.  which i think they were ok with- but it was hard.  but we got through it ok.  =)  i do have an awesome family!

while there- we celebrated my dear brother dal-pals birthday.  here he is with beautiful momma! 
(collective AWE with cuteness!!)

here is my awesome madre and my great, wonderful, awesome, near perfect in every way sister holding the ever cute baby z.  i love this picture.  =)

this adorableness happened before the sickness really hit.  he decided Tasha was his best friend and even picked her over me a few times.  thats ok.  i love tasha too.

see isnt she fan-tab-u-lous?  we all sure think so.  she and i we marshmallow toasting buddies.  lol she was such a great help with my sickie little boy and my happy baby.  all i can say is tasha is great.

and here is a picture of 2 of the greatest men i know.  'nuf said.

how great is this picture?  i wonder what it could look like edited (hint hint dia) i DESPERATELY LOVE this kid.  he is crazy determined, and so stubborn, and he will snuggle with you and drive you absolutely bonkers all at the same time.  i love him.

here is another  picture of dallin- he is probably one of the most honestly, smartest, cutest guys that i have ever known.  i love this guy.

and here is the inspiration behind so many things in my life.  growing up- i remember thinking that my dad was so weird to stand outside for an hour and water the grass.  by hand.  (sorry dad, but i did).  and now, at night- you know what i am doing?  after the kids go to bed, i go outside and water my grass.  by hand.  HAHA  i got that from you poppy!  and i dont mind that.  i love this man so much.  he teaches me something every day.  and i love it.

oh- i made dallins birthday cake.  doesnt it look AWESOME!!!  go here to get details of it.  but seriously- how cool is that?  AND it was tasty!  =)

sweet z snuggling with dia i believe.  isnt he just precious?  he was worth the bed rest for sure.

can you see his sick little eyes?  isnt he still so cute?  i did love all the snuggling i got to do.

while i was gone- joe was home with the big babies.  they tried to go to a water park.  look at her posing there.  how funny is she?  and you can see how he feels about taking the picture.  heehee arent they so cute?

(oh sorry this is out of order)  here is jellybean taking her own picture.  she cracks me up, i love her.  she is such a girly girl.  i love her.

if you turn your head to your left- you will see how long their water park trip lasted.  they got rain checks.  they thought that the fact that it rained so they got rain checks was so hilarious.  haha  silly kiddos. 

while they we waiting to see if it would blow over- they bought a drink.  they thought that was pretty awesome in-enough-of-itself.  it was awesome how excited they got just drinking at the rained out water park!  haha- i love it.

and well- that wraps up july.  chris left- and yes- i flew there to see him, and i didnt even get a picture of me with him.  i need to get tasha to send me the picture from chris' camera.

* and on a sad note- on the way to the farewell party, one of my daddys sisters- Tina, and her family were in an awful car accident.  she broke her neck, the rest of the family is ok, but she was really struggling there for awhile.  now a month later- she is writing and smiling and in rather good spirits from what i am told.  but she will need our prayers for a long time.  she is so wonderful- take the nicest person you know, and multiply that by 10- and that is how nice aunt tina is.  i love her.  please pray.

there ya go.  july is caught up.  coming up is back to school- and our 'before school starts last weekend fling'.  it was AWESOME!!!!  anyway.

loves!

(heehee- dont you love all the labels there?  i just didt know how to classify it!  haha)
