I just don't want any of you to miss my cute pics of baby Karcyn......so scroll down. I put them on today,but they were saved as a draft.....so they got posted after Jamie and Elle's bday pics. I keep telling Jess that she has to see them and then I messed up and now it looks like I haven't updated my blog.......whatever.....you know what I mean:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMIE AND ELLE!!!

THE BIRTHDAY GIRLIES!!!

Happy birthday Jamie......thanks for being such a great sister and such an AMAZING aunt to my kids! I feel so blessed to have such great sisters and we all get along so good.....

Im so glad you married who you did! People are always telling us that we look so much alike and you also married someone that is so much like my hubby!! Kit is so great to you and you two are going to be such cute parents!!

I love that you can still act like a dork and be silly!!! Im so thankful for the relationship that we have and also the relationship that you share with my children......Thanks for all you do for my family and I.....Love ya Jamie!!!

Now for little miss thang.......Happy Birthday Elle!!

Elle is such a little princess and loves to dress up, she puts on a dress for awhile, then takes it off and switches to a different dress and she loves her dress up shoes!!

Elle likes spending time with Chantry.....they are both just so SASSY!! She is such a cutie and I can't believe that she is already 3!!!

Love ya Elle!!!

Taking pictures with baby Karcyn........

I took some pictures of the girls with Karcyn a couple of weeks ago.....This was the first day that I tended her and the girls were so excited that they had no school that day, so they could play with the baby!!

I think that they were a little disappointed when the baby just wanted to sleep the whole time! haha.....I tried to tell them that she wasn't going to be able to really PLAY with them!

Channy loves baby Karcyn and thinks that she is old enough to walk around with her, but I freak out and tell her that maybe when the baby is a little older!!

Sairee is such a great cousin....she could hold her all day!

Meah even got to feed her a bottle and she felt so big because after the bottle she got her to sleep.... just sat there and patted her back!!

I could just eat her right up!!!

I wish I would have gotten pictures with Branson......he was so cute with her! When I watched her last week, he came straight home and didn't even bring any friends home.....SHOCKER!! He went straight to the bathroom and washed his hands and sat and held her forever and he even fed her a bottle!! I love watching my kids with her. It makes me a little sad that I will never have another baby.....but I think I will get over it. haha......Im glad that I can watch her and spend time with her every week!!

SoMeBoDy Is 30 tOdAy..........

Happy Birthday Kristi!!! I can't believe you are finally 30!! haha

Now it doesn't seem like you are that much younger than me:)

Kristi and I have been hooked at the hip for a little over 13 years!! We were on drill team together and hung out in high school, but we became alot closer my senior year. She was there for me when I was going through a hard time and felt all alone.....I am thankful that her and Brett where there to make me laugh when I wanted to cry or to just lend a listening ear!

Obviously....we can all get a little silly! We have enjoyed watching our girls grow up together and taking them to different concerts and watching all of the dance recitals together!

Kristi and I started taking Chantry and Rylee to Westside when they were 2 and that is where I met Amanda and we all have a good time together......I am so blessed to have such great friends!

Wherever we go, we ALWAYS get asked if we are sisters! It is so funny. But after I saw this picture I had to laugh because we do look like we could be sisters!

Kristi thanks for your friendship through the years and I look forward to many more!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND WELCOME TO THE 30 AND OVER CLUB!!!

Celebrating Chantrys birthday!!!

When Channy came downstairs today her #10 pancake was waiting for her.... on her "you are the Special Stafford Today plate!" She isn't really much of a pancake fan, but it is tradition!!

She hung out with friends all day until Brooks got home....and then we all went to dinner. She picked Samuri 21....YUMMY!! We got to see her blush as we all sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her and watched her blow the candle out on her cheesecake!!

We all love going to Samuri 21!!

Chantry has been NEEDING a new bike for awhile, she just keeps getting taller!! But she insisted that she pick it out herself.....so here it is! DARLING!! Grandma Stafford wants to get a cute basket on the front of it:)

We also surprised her with a STRAIGHTENER!! This is perfect because she can learn with this one!! She has been wanting to do her own hair lately and does a pretty darn good job! Now all that is left is......CLOTHES SHOPPING! That will happen on Monday.

Chantry is such a sweetie and I hate that she is growing up to fast!!

LOVE YOU CHANNY!!

10......going on 16!!

I can't believe that my little Chantry is 10!!

I feel so blessed that Chantry is in our family! She is the 2nd mom in our house and sometimes her sisters get annoyed, but she is always the one that they are asking for!! She has been dancing since she was 2 years old and does such a great job!

She made the part of blue soldier this year for the nutcracker. She has done the nutcracker the past 2 years and I love watching her do it. She is so crafty and loves doing it.....to bad she got a mom that isn't so crafty:)

Chantry we love you so much and are so proud of the choices that you are making.....just stop growing up to fast, you are going to be taller than me soon!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY....WE LOVE YOU!!!

HaPpY bIrThDaY aMaNdA!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!

I met Amanda when our kids started taking dance together about 8 years ago......and Kristi,Amanda and I have been friends ever since. And our girls are HILARIOUS together!!

I have been so blessed to have such good friends in my life and I want to thank Amanda for her friendship after all these years and Im sure there will be many more years!! We will have to stick together through these crazy teenage years that are ahead of us!! AHHHHH!!

Thanks for your friendship........love ya girl!!!

KIDS SAY THE CUTEST THINGS!!

I have to write down this funny little story about my Sair-bear so I don't forget it!!

I had been working in my shop all day for the past couple of days and I felt like I was getting behind on my house.....SO I HAD A MELT DOWN!! Brooks had left to play indoor soccer and all I wanted to do is vacuum my bedroom! I had cleaned things up and I just wanted to get the vacuuming done. So I plugged in the vacuum and sparks and smoke came out of the cord!! I COULDN'T VACUUM.......and I felt so overwhelmed and just started to cry!! Sairee is so sweet and this was our conversation.....

(S).. Mom are you okay?

(Me)...yes...I just want to vacuum my bedroom! Everything in our house is breaking!!(remember I am still crying!)

(S)....Mom how much are vacuum's?

(Me)....I don't know hunny...why??

(S)...well if they are like $2,000 I am going to give you some money from my wallet!

She is so cute and I thought that it was so sweet......she just kept hugging me and asking if I was okay! Poor kid thought her mom was loosing her mind! I then was still crying, but laughing at the same time. She started laughing with me and made me feel better!

GOOD NEWS... Brooks came home and was able to fix the vacuum!!

Gotta love those meltdown days!!!

Happy Birthday to the BEST DAD EVER......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!

(a little late)

I love this picture of Sairee with Papa Evans! I am so blessed to have such a great dad! He has taught me so much and is such an example to me. It seems like he is ALWAYS doing service for someone somehow. The job he does everyday is so perfect for him because I see him touch the lives of others everyday! I see people and old students on the street that went to my dad's hair school and they have nothing but good things to say about him. I LOVE YOU DAD.....thanks for teaching me the meaning of hard work and raising me in the gospel, I don't know where I would be without it!

I think that my kids scored in the grandpa department also!!!
