Corbi's Shower!

This is my friend Corbi aka Rach's Shower. she is going to Brazil in a few days to marry her sweetheart. Its very romantic!

Our friend Amy helped put on the

shower and it turned out great!
Thanks Ree

I am so excited for Corbi and Claudemir and I am truly disappointed that we cant afford for me to be there for the wedding. But the shower was fun and so were the games we forced the bride to endure . . .


This is the beautiful wedding dress the shower guests made for her. (yes tp) its very easily accessible (as all wedding dresses should be ;) j/k )the only flaw is that the temple may not allow this type of dress and she'll have to improvise :)
I have more pictures of the gifts she received but as i said, broken computer, so i'll have to post them later . . . most of Corbi's gifts were the requested money or gift cards as that is more sensible for a wedding in Brazil. but a few of us got her some space saving presents; like pj's (lingerie) and books to read on the plane (or in the bedroon) ;) it was a blast! and i hope rach enjoys all her presents because i'm sure claudemir will ;)

HAPPY PIONEER DAY!

On the 24th my family got together as we always do to put on our fireworks show. It was a blast! the kids threw pops all around and smashed the ones that didn't pop with their feet. Then uncle Kyle started the fireworks and the little girls sat all around yelling and screaming. By the end they had taken Uncle Clay and Aunt Lauren over to the blanket to sit with them. It was cute. We really missed not having Bubba and Camerin with us but we do have to share them with their other family sometimes ;)

So my sister-in-law has been telling me for probably a month about these books she's been reading. She tried to explain them to me saying they were my type of thing romance and such but then she threw in the part about vampires(?)What?!? so naturally i thought not my thing and put it into the back of my head. well about 4 weeks ago my husband got sick and started to read the least sappy romance novel he could find in my collection. this happened to be it. well he actually liked it and wanted me to ask Shay for the next one. well anyway they kept talking about it so naturally i had to be included and let me tell you in 2 weeks i abandoned all of my marital and maternal responsibilities and with the help of a few 3 hr baths i finished all 3 books and became completely obsessed with them i will most definitely buy the 4th when it comes out and maybe even join a fan club! (j/k) but seriously even though i have what some call an addictive personality and love to escape to fantasy at times I truly do enjoy this book and would recommend it to all those sappy romance love story addicts out there to give it a try. but please remember you do have husbands and children that will need you intermittently. :)

COUSINS = FOREVER FRIENDS

These are Sami's cousins and her best friends! There are 7 of them all within 3 years. My siblings and I are all freakishly close, we rarely go a week without seeing each other so it only makes sense that our children are just as close! Ok so left to right .. . Haylee Grace almost 2, Sydnee Mae 3 (Mistie & Brians girls), Breqlynn Lori 3, Hazel (nut) Lettie 1 (Kyle & Shayla's Girls), Devin Bryant 4 (Bryant & Madelyn's oldest), Sami Sam 1, and Camerin Corom 2 (Bry & Maddy's youngest). Aren't they just the cutest kids ever? I hope they always stay this close!

Sami Sam's Smile!

Ever since sami could speak her first word was CHEESE! So these are just a few of my angels CHEESE'S . . .

SMILE SAMI

To say I love pictures of my daughter is a gross understatement. She is by far my most favorite person too look at and take pictures of so here are just a few random pics of my favorite little girl.

Ok so as you can see Sami will be at the most center of my blogging posts atleast until we can get pregnant and then she'll have to learn to share the spotlight a little.

This is one of my favorite pictures of her with my grandpa and 2nd cousin Braxton.

This is Hazel and Sami after mommy gave them pierced ears just like Breqlynn and Sydnee
