I stink at blogging!!!!

I miss my blog! I miss being able to write about whatever the poop I want! (where else do we get to do that?!) I have slacked off and haven't even written about our cute new little addition that is now almost 8 months old! I'm lame, I know. Well here is a fast little recap!

My friend Tara and I finally did something real with our makeup obsession! Check it out:

We frequently practice on the kids. Although it's really just a big plot to make them go away. If we paint them colors, they run around outside and show people, thus getting them out of our hair. Brilliant, I know.

Tara did this one! We told him to stop smiling so we could take the picture. The smile was killing the effect! :)

Ben, the cutest pest around.

Little Ian got his tonsils out a few days before I had the baby. That was a fun week. I'll do a whole post about that.

Poor little Nathan broke his hand while riding his scooter. He then used his cast to whack his brothers.
I take back the "poor little Nathan" comment.

We got a puppy. So cute!

His name is Jack Bauer. We just called him Bauer though.


Then he turned into a horse.

Really smart, great dog...although you wouldn't know it from the pictures!

Then he decided to start eating everything, including the BBQ and the power cord to the AC unit outside. So we had to find him a new home.

Poor little Ben told me the other day that when he turns 8 and gets big, he has to go to Salt Lake to go to a new home like Bauer had to. :( :( So sad!! So I told him that was only the dog and that he is our little boy forever!

I sure am glad we could screw up our kids by getting a dog and then getting rid of him and making them think they are next. :( :( I blame Joel. He can't argue because he doesn't know my blogger password.

I went to San Antonio with my 5 week old baby. Found out that the hotel was haunted. Ghosts like babies don't they?!!? I had my own room and it was freaky!! (I really should do a whole post about that!)

Drove out to Denver to see Larry and Peggy and the boys. Went through Wyoming to avoid crappy mountain weather. Pretty huh?

Most boring drive EVER!!! Never going back to Wyoming unless I'm forced. Seriously, I just dozed off a bit just looking at that picture.

Our sweet little Nathan got baptized on June 4 of this year.

We are so proud of Nathan for making the choice to be baptized!

We are also very proud of our eldest too. Isn't he photogenic?*

Why is getting a cute little family picture such a hard thing to do?!

*Apparently Dallin was making a Zombie face. I didn't want to tell him because I don't want to encourage him, but that's a pretty good zombie face!

sigh....

Let's see....what else has happened in the last year? Oh yah! We brought home one of these:

What's that you say? You've seen this little guy before? That's because he is an exact replica of older brother Nathan. He is so cute though that he deserves his own blog post. I will do that this week...I PROMISE!!

I'll quit now and actually post this! But going through pictures on my phone and computer, I realized there is way more fun to be had, so stay tuned....
