MY LITTLE BOY IS 12!!!

I can't believe that my little baby boy is 12 today!! Look how cute he is in his 1 year old pictures!! He was such a happy little boy and had the cutest little curls!!

This was his first haircut. Kristi held him, I cut, and uncle Justin was trying to keep him from looking away!!

Oh I just love to look at these pictures......I can't believe how fast the years have gone by! Look at the bottom picture with Elmo, he use to feed Elmo bottles and pack him around everywhere. I was getting close to having Chantry so he would practice feeding Elmo!! haha

He is such a little stud!!

He is such a good big brother and loves his sisters so much!

He is a HUGE Broncos fan and always has been!

We have fun changing his hairstyle.....and the color of his hair!

This was his 5th grade party, I couldn't believe that he was out of elementary!!

He LOVES sports......I couldn't find pictures of him playing football and basketball, but I have some good ones of baseball and soccer!

Brooks has been his soccer coach ever since he started playing and one of my favorite things is to watch Branson play soccer! I love to watch him play anything.....Of course it is not easy to have your dad as your coach, but it does push him harder and I don't think that he would have it any other way!!

This is his 6th grade picture....what a handsome young man!!

I am so happy that we were blessed with Branson in our home and our house wouldn't be the same without him. This Sunday he will be ordained a deacon and will be able to pass the sacrament and it makes my teary just to think about it. I forgot to put the pictures on of him receiving his Arrow Of Light, but that is something that he accomplished last year and he will receive his Faith in God award on Sunday. I am so proud of him and the choices that he has made in his life so far! We love you buddy!!!

cRaZy hAiR dAy!!!!!

The kids had CRAZY HAIR day at school and they were so excited!

Chantry missed it last year because she was sick......it almost happened again this year, but when Thursday rolled around she felt a lot better!!

Sairee knew what she wanted.....she is so funny, she was so excited to take it out, the hanger was killing her in her hair all day!!

DATE NIGHT.....ARRRRRRRG!!!

We had to dress up for date night and this is what we came up with hours before the party! My dad had this pirated costume and I still had one that my friend loaned me..........ARRRRRG!!

This is only half of the group because their are usually 12 couples, but we had a lot of fun and some good soup!!

We played the marshmellow game........Chad(bottom left corner) won and had 11"puffy poos" in his mouth!!

FAMILY PARTY!!

We had Meah's family birthday party and she was so excited!

When Jess and Mike asked her what she wanted, she told them that she wanted a bat and a "fing" that goes on your hand to catch the ball!! haha.....she was so excited for it!

When she saw what Kit and Jamie got her, she started rolling around on the ground and hugging her new dvd! It is "Hotel for Dogs" she loves dogs........Justin and Kasse got her a really cute boxer dog that shakes it's tail and barks. Nana and Papa Evans got her some blocks because she loves building big towers.......Nana and Papa Stafford got her a flashlight and a cute bag with candy(she asked for the flashlight) Joel and Hillary sent a really cute outfit, and Randi and Aaron give the kids $20 bucks in a bank account every b-day!! Thanks for all the fun things, it has kept her very busy!!

Brooks and I got her a new bike but I haven't gotten pictures of her on it yet!

Look how darling her cake is, Nana Lisa makes the best cakes! This is Dora in her soccer jersey with Meah's soccer #........#4!!!

MEAH'S FIRST FRIEND PARTY!!!

This was Meah's first birthday party with friends........this was their little goodie to take home!

We had pizza and then cupcakes.....we played a few games and Meah loved all of the presents!

The best part was the HUGE bounce house/HUGE slide! They could have played in that thing all day!......They were all so cute and it was a lot of fun......BUT it is nice to have it over!!

Love you Meah!!!

CaMpInG fOr OuR AnNiVeRsArY!!!!!

After a very long day.......we got some alone time!!

I was incharge of an aid/water station for the marathon, so I had to be at the church with the young men and women by 5:30am! It was actually very fun.......then after 5 1/2 hours of that I rushed to Branson's AWESOME soccer game and then to Meah's! Well come to find out, because of the marathon her game was later.........right when we planned on leaving! Well we let her miss it and headed out for our camping trip!

We had a great time looking for deer on the four wheeler and then we had teriyaki chicken and rice......followed by ice cream!! Then we watched a movie and it was just so relaxing and we could actually have a conversation without being interrupted!!

Happy Anniversary Hun and thanks for the fun date!!

MY B-DAY PARTY AT MOM'S..........

When it is your birthday, you know that mom goes all out and you end up leaving so sick because she had all of your favorite food and treats!!

THANKS MOM!!!

Jess forgot a card, so she made me one!! haha.......Thanks to all of my sisters and brother and of coarse their spouses, we always have fun on our birthday's!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HILLARY.......

WISHING HILLARY A HAPPY BIRTHDAY......I'm a day late with this post!

Hope you had a good one:)

12 YEARS DOWN........ETERNITY TO GO!!!

12 years........wow that has gone by quick!!

I love looking back on these pictures, we were just babies!!

But this day Oct.4th,1997 was the best day of my life (besides the birth of my children)

Brooks and I actually met our sophmore year. I was set up on a blind date with him by my best friend and his best friend........well I was so excited to go out with him, but was very disappointed! When Kyle got out of the car he said that Brooks couldn't come so he brought Jeff........are you kidding me! So I can't believe that I ever wanted to go out with him again!

But we did and we dated for awhile and then I broke up with him and he was not to happy so he wouldn't even speak to me! Lucky for me, the end of my junior year he decided to come to a PV "stomp" after they kicked our butts in football. All of his friends and mine were trying to make us talk to each other........IT WORKED!! We danced that night and he even let me borrow his snow gear for a day date that I had the next day with somebody!

I sent my missionary off and never left Brooksby's side..........6 days later the missionary comes home and then we had to deal with that! Once he was out of the picture it was great! Brett and Kristi soon became hooked at our hips and we started going out a lot. Both of our senior years rocked.....his footaball team took state and my drill team took state also!! We were excited to see each other graduate high school.....NOW WHAT???? Isn't that what every high school graduate thinks the day of graduation!!??!!

We were married, Brett and Kristi went everywhere that we did and we had so much fun with them!

Brooks has ALWAYS provided so well for our family and is such a hard worker I love him so much..........4 kids later, a million dance classes, a million football, basketball, baseball, and soccer games, I stopped counting the cars, 3 dogs, 5 different ward, 4 houses later we are happier than we have ever been! Thanks hun for the best 12 years a girl could ask for!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BABY GIRL!!!

This is my baby girl.......she is turning 4 today! Where has the time gone???

Meah started pre-shool this year and loves it!!

Meah is not a girly girl and is not afraid of getting dirty..........

She has 3 best friends.....1st is her dog Maggie.........

2nd is her cousin Trey boy.........

and 3rd is our neighbor Lucy, they are hooked at the hip!!

Meah loves camping and riding 4-wheelers.........

Uncle Mike was helping her ride the little 4-wheeler!!

She enjoyed her SMORE......YUMMY!!

And this is her first year playing soccer and she is doing GREAT!! She averages ATLEAST 2-3 goals a game!!

We are so blessed to have Meah in our family.....she is so much fun! You never know what this little stinker is going to say.......but lately it is pretty tough to get her to stop talking!! haha. She has all of the sudden taken on the role of her sister's and loves to talk all of the time and tell random stories!! We love our little "ME-ME"....HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
