March 2012

We have 2 March birthdays. And besides that we had extra fun stuff planned with Papa Lundell this month. This was a Party Van when I picked up Syd and Haylee on Haylee's Birthday.

This year for Birthdays the kids get to do a movie and invite a couple friends and the cheap seats. There was no kid movies playing so we decided to catch the matinee to "The Lorax" It was funny!

Papa took us to Disney on Ice (Toy Story 3) It was so much fun. We are so lucky to have him, we get to do so many fun things we could afford to do with our 6 kids. We feel so richly blessed for just the time he comes and spend with us also. SHOUT OUT TO PAPA!

We also went and used our free sledding day. Papa and Susan took out the fence. We invited the Stephensons and G, Amy, Ridge, Austin and Ty came with us. We had such a fun month...full of crazy, and we loved it.

Hope your March was also great!

February 2012

My Crazy bunch of kids. I love when we get extra time together...and so do all of you! I got yo ALL ready for school this morning and I had to take a picture of all of you ready to go before 7:30. WOWZA! I don't think I could do that every day.

We made Valentine Hearts to hang by the fireplace. (which Brian set on flames the next day...not paying attention)

We went to Idaho for Presidents Day weekend. We has SO much fun at Blast Off, and hanging out with cousins. It was the first trip with NO meltdowns...it was SO fun!

Brian surprised me with a nice little overnighter to Downata Hot Sprigs. It was so muh fun and much needed. I feel SO blessed to have him and for how special he makes every day moments.  He is WonDErfUL!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE going hiking with my kiddlets. We are SO blessed to live blocks away from the mountains. It is so beautiful, and fun. We love to climb up and watch the sun set. I am SO grateful to share what my daddy shared with me, with my kids.

January 2012

January was a good month. Brian and I went to Las Vegas for his Chiropractic Convention. I had some R.N.R. and then drove the boys (Gailen, Kevin, and Brian) around.  I ran on The Strip and went to the outlets.  Checked out ALL the D.I.'s and Savers (thrift stores) It was SO much fun!

We had Great Grandpa Jo come over and the kids have him do his penny magic trick over and over. Benson finally figured it out, but the girls were AMAZED again and again.

Enjoy my cute Grandpa!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Katie and Cam drove from Idaho to dance the night away. We Karaoked and John was the BEST D.J.

Seriously I get giddy everytime I look at all these pictures. I feel so blessed with great friends and family. I know it's sad that I threw myelf a party but I wanted to celelbrate 30 and kick it off! Life can only get better!

December Fun 2011

December was a FULL month! Tons of fun and lots to do.  I took Ben, Jo & Lilz, and Syd and Hay's (and then Bethy for me&Brian) Pictures for their other parent for Christmas. Which turned out super cute, and hopefully they appriciated them...oh well if not I got some CUTE pictures of these kids I love!

We went to Cookies with Santa with Aunt Amy, Ridge, Austin, and Ty. It was fun! You guys LOVED that you got to wear your P.J.'s

All you kids got to be in the Christmas Nativity in our Ward Party. This picture is so blurry but who cares...You all were SO cute!

Brian decided to go outside barefoot (not recommended) and stepped on one of my craft nails. I post this picture for his pleasure! It makes me cringe looking at it!

All the Lundell cousins came into town and we went walking around 25th street Chirstmas Village. I had never been there before some of the little houses were so cool.

Papa Lundell took us for our Annual Sledding adventure. It was actually raining when we first got there, but everyone still had a fun time.

To END 2011 we had a friendly family competition WHICH WE WON (me, brian, carrie, and todd)  Ok it was only by 1 point.... it was so fun, and I hope made into a yearly tradition.

New Years Party was at Amy's and G's which is always a great time, they are such good hosts! And ALL the kids love anything at Aunt Amy's...cuz' they know it will be the best!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2012!

November 2011

I didn't take many pictures in November.  But I did take this one of Great Grandpa with you guys.  Since Great Grandma passed away we try to have Grandpa out for dinner.

It was not our year for Thanksgiving. So Dad, Beth and I went to The Bunnells, with the Renfroe Clan.  It was fun but it is just like any holiday without all of us, missing something.

Our Family Oct 2011

I LOVE this picture! 

My sister Hanna was in town and we went up to the dam...it was freezing, but well worth the beautiful pictures we got...she even convinced us to get in the water. 

Me and my Hotty Husband!

 I never knew life could be so full, and so filled with love on every level. I find myself in awe at my blessings and the joy I have in life. I am so lucky to have knowledge of our Savior Jesus Christ and His love and desire for us to be happy and fulfilled in this life.  I have found that as I strive to do my best, my joy is fuller and I am SO lucky to have such an amazing guy to share it with.

 SO grateful for our CRAZY 6... makes me want more!

September 2011

We surprise you kids with a hotel night in Idaho over Labor Day Weekend. you were SO excited!

We went to the Dino Park and got in the water. i realized the BIG "DO NOT GET IN THE WATER OR FEED THE DUCKS" sign after we got out...wooopsy!

 Me and Mine went to see Hunter off on his mission. I am so excited for him and grateful for the example he is setting for my kids. TOTALLY love this kid!

Annie and I had our Primary class do a service project and Syd and Haylee got to help us out. It was so  good to help out a neighbor, and teach the kids to do service.

5 Months Old

I forgot to put you in your special spot on the couch, but this picture is a cute one. You are starting to roll over and talk so much! I LOVE IT!

Merry Christmas Baby Girl!You were ready to go back to bed by the time we were done opening presents.

August 2011

Grandma Carver Pasted away. B had a special place in his heart for his grandma and she passed away while I was at Girl Camp, so he emotionally he went through alot without me. But in the short time I knew her I could see the special place she had for him in her heart.  It was a beautiful service and I am grateful I got to know her for a short time before she passed, and I know she is watching over us now.

The kids and I made smores and had a camp out. We played for hours outside until the sunset and then most the kids ended up sleeping out...Only Sis ended up coming in.

We tried to do Tie-Die shirt with Jello.  I figured Jello stains your clothes...so why not. They looked so cool but after they dried I washed them and it all came out! :O(  But the kids had fun making them!

Papa Lundell took me and my kids up to Snow Basin to listen to  music and walk around. It is always fun to have some one on one with Papa. He is an AWESOME Grandpa, and always inviting us to do fun things!

Before School started I took the kids down to Hogal Zoo. We had fun ust taking our time and enjoying our day together. My flip flops roke right when I stepped out of the car so I walked bare foot all day! :O)

July 2011

July was  fabulous month. We were in charge of my family Recoonion and we went with a Pirate theme. We used Dad's Land and it was so much fun. The highlight of the trip was Aunt Katie going into labor (water braking at 5am) the last day!

After the ReCoonion we headed to Allen&Rebeccas home in Soda Springs to enjoy their Annual Foam in the Park....it was SO much fun!!!!

 Fourth of July at home together was SO much fun also I made all the girls matchy purses and we went to the fair where B was working, had pizza, and played carnival games.

Me and Baby B at the Keyes Annual Cousin Party!

Josh&Julie came to town and Grandma Joy took all of us bowling. We are SO spoiled!!!

It really was a FABULOUS month! So grateful for all the extra time we got together!
