lunch following at the golden colon...his choice.

uh, the golden corral. moo.

and how hungwee ah you?

mikey: "mom, i am stahhving! i weally need a booffay."

birthday boy!

 

i can hardly believe that my baby boy is eight!

eight years ago i was in heaven (really just cottonwood hospital with a nice epidural and ice chips).

and eight years ago i got the sweetest boy a mom could ask for.

mikey is smart, handsome, athletic, loving.

he is a thinker...wants to know the why and how.

he is thoughtful...especially in his prayers.

he plays hard, really hard.

he loves his cookies and cakes.

he used to be a quiet boy. and we were worried...but not now.

i LOVE this boy and i am glad he's mine.

happy birthday, mikey!

just cause she's so cute

 

i love, love, love her little face!


and yes, i know the flower is larger than her head. so is my boob. she's used to it.

made it in the paper

so the kidlets ran a 1-mile race in mesquite with grandpa and grandma on memorial day.

they made the paper--virgin valley times.

anna is #623 and mikey is standing next to her in the utah hat.

they both came in second it their age groups.

mikey even had a couple of pit stops at the slides.

good job, kids.

ps. apparently they take after their dad in this area.

allie jane's big day

 

 

 

so cute...

 

she has found her thumb. and she LOVES it.
and i think it is so cute.

but will it be cute in years to come?

i can cut a slit in the binky and say it's broken (that's what i did for mikey) and be done with it.

but i can't very well cut off the thumb.

oh well.

it's still cute for now.
