I am in the process of redoing my boys' rooms. I have to be creative and not do both rooms with sports. So, one room is sports and the other is skater. I projected the images onto the wall, traced them and then painted them in. I am very happy with the way they are turning out. I will be sure to post the finished rooms.








We were introduced to a new place called Jump Street. My boys had a blast! Even my 1 yr old loved jumping. They also have the inflatable bouncies. Fun, fun.


Our beautiful Bailey. This is our babysitter Bailey. We had to go see her all done up before she left to pick up her date for the dance. She looked like a princess. My boys thought she was a "hottie". We are glad they just think of her like a sister.


My funny handsome husband! Brian likes to have fun at work, so he decided to dress up for his team meeting. He wanted to go shopping at the thrift store to find some clothes. I told him there was no need to go shopping, we just went to my dads closet. We found three really good outfits, and they all fit him perfectly. I am sure he will find somewhere to wear the others. He even had the right music to go along with it. I had to get pictures to show my parents. My dad had no idea they were even his clothes. He was shocked he was ever that thin to fit into them.
Now that Christmas is over and the boys get to see their dad again, we loaded the kids up and took them to Lego Land. What a perfect time to go. We felt like we had the whole park to ourselves. It sure is nice to be able to stay on a ride and ride it over and over. We had a great vacation.























































Happy New Year!
January 1st was such a beautiful day we had to get outside. We took the boys to the desert and had a picnic and rode bikes and the quad. Only in Arizona can you have a day like that in January.













































Merry Christmas
Grandma Hunt gave all the boys pj's and knitted them all booties for Christmas eve. They were so cute we had to take a few pictures. I told the boy to show me their booties, Sam obviously thought I ment his back side. He looks a little confused in the top picture. We also jumped in the car and went to visit the Grandparents. (Notice the tree in the back, maybe next year I will get to decorate the whole thing.)






HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM SAM!
We had a fun party for Sam's 3rd birthday. He got every animal you could possibly imagine. He was one happy boy. Happy birthday buddy we love you!














































For Halloween the whole family dressed up. We were all characters from Star Wars. My neighbor took pictures of us, I just keep forgetting to ask her to send them to me. I will be sure to update this as soon as I get those. Brian was Han Solo, I was Princess Leah, Jake and Cole were Clone troopers, Max was Anikan Skywalker, Sam was Darth Vader, and Brig was Chewbacca. It was the first year Brian and I have ever dressed up. It was fun.

Happy Birthday Giggs!
My baby is already 1yr old! Wow time flys. We had to celebrate Brigs birthday in the morning before the boys left for school and mom left out of town. He didn't care for the cup cake first thing in the morning. Happy birthday baby!
















Congrats on the Baptism Max! Max was glad to be able to share this special day with his good buddy Karson. They both missed their soccer team pictures and a game, but they didn't care too much.
We enjoyed a nice day at the Zoo with our good friends the Housleys. It was good for their daughted Anna to get out after spending over a month in the hospital. Sam loved seeing all the animals in real life. He is obsessed with animals and can tell you what everyone is.




































For Maxs' 8th birthday we went to Amazing Jakes. My boys love that place, and the food isn't bad either. Grandma and Grandpa Hunt came along for the fun. Grandma was a good sport, all Sam wanted to ride were the tea cups with Grandma. Brig couldn't quite walk so Grandpa walked him around most of the night. We had a fun!




































Back a few months ago I went to California with a few friends for a fun girls trip. We were so spoiled! We stayed at one of the girls Aunts extra home right on the beach. It was amazing! Fully furnished and all to ourselves. It is such a great feeling to wake up to the sound of the ocean, sit on the deck and read, and no kids! We also went to Magic Mountian. We had a blast.

My claim to fame. My 10 seconds in the spotlight. Thursday my sister-in-law ans I took our little ones to the Phoenix childrens museum. It is really fun if you have never been. While we were there channel 12 was there doing a story on the swine flu. My sister-in-law and I were asked if they could interview us and follow us around for some video footage. This all took about an hour. After we were finished we felt we had a little taste of what if feels like to have the paparazzi following us around. After all that, this is what was on the news.http://www.azcentral.com/video/#/News/H1N1+flu+vaccine+controversy/40280768001/35150280001/45985708001

A few weeks ago we had our Family pictures taken for the first time by a real photographer. Over the years we have gone to studios to have our pictures taken and they never seem to turn out. We take last minute snap shots for our Christmas cards every year. I really wanted a good family picture to frame and hang on my wall, and be able to get my Christmas cards sent out before New Years. Needless to say, we were so extremely happy with our pictures. We had nearly 200 pictures turn out. So many to choose from! Our photographers name is Troy Brinkerhoff and he is so GOOD! We are customers for life. My kids had the best time, he made it so fun for all of us. So, if you are looking for a GREAT photographer for anything (he does it all) I highly recomend him. Check out his work @ http://www.troybrinkerhoff.com/ I put together this slideshow to try and show as many of my pictures as I could. I finally got tired and called it quits. My 3yr old is alseep on the floor at my feet.

Happy Birthday Max!

Wow how time flys. Our sweet, quiet, loving Max is now another year older. Happy birthday buddy! We all love you so much. Lets party!















Better late than never! Max, Jake, and Cole on the first day of school.



First day of school

school is back is session!

I am so excited that the boys are back in school. Jake is in 4th grade, Max is in 3rd, and Cole is in all day kindergarden. I think I was the only mom that wasn't crying out front of the kindergarden classrooms. I finally feel like I am getting my house back in order after the summer. I have almost organized every room since they started a week ago. By the end of the day, blogging is the last thing that I want to do. I have so many pictures to post and update, it feels like so much work. My goal is to get them all posted next week. So to all those who look at my blog and see that I haven't touched it in over a month, take a look next week(Friday or Saturday).

Happy 4th Of July! We drove a few minutes to watch the fireworks in Heber. They are some of the best that we have seen. When they are shooting them off, it feels like they are going to fall down on you. The sound is so loud car alarms are going off all around, and it echos off the mountians. Definatly recommend them to all.



This past week we headed up north to get out of the heat. We went up to Christopher Creek with some friends and had a blast. We were taken to "the spot". It was absolutly beautiful! We had quite the adventure. It is a place that very few people know about, and is not easy to get to. With the family all buckled into the t-rex. We did some major 4x4 mountian climbing. It was well worth it when we saw "the spot". We relaxed and had fun swimming until two clouds above us murged into one and started a major down pour. With 3 creeks to go through we were a little concerned about a flash flood. We quickly gathered out things and made our way back to the vehicles and trailers. We were soaking wet by the time we reached the cars. That is our idea of fun!

We are ready for summer to start. Sam has finished his swim lessons and can now save his own life if he ever fell into the pool. We love ISR!
