August Rush...pretend July was blogged

I think these are all in order, but in reverse. Whatever, at least I'm here right? lol. Holy lack of motivation and time for blogging batman. Oh, speaking of..that movie was good! Go see it. Then see Step Up: Revolution, for me...because I'll be waiting for it to come out on Blu Ray, but I WILL see it :)

Okay, so y'all know Dalton broke my phone...well I inherited Jed's Evo, which is great because now I can have all my photos automatically show up here and then pick from them. If you're not doing this, stop what you're doing, go to google+ (yes, for real...doesn't matter nobody uses it) Set the settings so that your phone has automatic photo upload. DO IT. Doesn't matter if you never actually share them with your "circles". I know you non google+ people are like, what are you talking about? It's okay. It doesn't matter, you don't need to know. Nobody cares about it anyway :)

So here are some pictures from the past few weeks after I enabled this feature....as for July....I'll have to actually do work, like getting the pictures off my phone or fb or something. So it'll be awhile.

his "why do you keep taking me to splash pads??" face.

because your sister loves them, sorry dude

She's being Ariel on the rock. Yup, that's her!

Van and Lori and kiddos came into town. I baked. lol. We hung out like the good ole days. Always fun to see old, I mean long time friends! 

 

Mmmm....carmelitas

browned butter brownies. (to die for) caramel corn....I should go on a diet, yesterday.

Dalton showing Skylee how to dress up like a princess

I like when I'm the one to clean Addie's room sometimes...

Storing and sorting pretty girl dresses

 Great Grammy Lynette on her birthday. LOVE her.

When you love someone, you make them a couple of chocolate truffle pies...

we also had a girls night for our cute Grammy's birthday. It was so FUN! We got pedicures and went to dinner

 I guess I should be in my 80s...seeing as I like to wear the same color as those who are :)

This lady is one of my very favorite people in my life, ever. 

 London turned 1!! Doesn't she look thrilled....?

I understand her tears. I'll be 30 in 6 wks. ouch.

I helped her mama make some easy monkey cupcakes. Fun!

My baby brother and his baby birthday girl.

What Dalton and I do now every morning, usually before 8am

 He LOVES fruit. Wish he'd eat other things beside that and cheese. The kid will eat quinoa, but you give him a pb&j and he throws it. 

I mad a back to school wreath to dress my door til the appropriate time for a fall wreath.

This solved this... 

What Addie bought with her piggy bank money :)

Shakin' out the piggy into the coin machine at daddy's office.

 Jed helped Blake build our nephew Emmett a sandbox for his birthday. It was a hit with all the kids!

Playing dress up with aunt Ashy

and let's lock her up when she's like 12, mmmkay? 

Who's the twin? lol. Ash and I have similar haircuts right now. Funny, people already assumed she's my sister, not Jed's. It's okay though. I kinda like her...

 Lagoon!

We used some bounce back passes and had a girls night out at Lagoon with our fave friends, the Hill girls.

Addie had a blast, and so did I!

Well, if you follow me on instgram, I hope you just skipped this because you've probably already seen all of these photos...sorry. If not, get instagram. Then I won't have to blog ;) kidding, I like keeping track of our family on here. Lately it seems like nobody else blogs so I have a hard time doing it when it's already hard to make time. I love looking back at old posts though and remembering things I'd forgotten. So...I need to be better. Happy September everyone!

Some May days....

Okay, so I've been having MAJOR technical difficulties in the blogging/picture taking world. It's really a shame when within 2 weeks, child number 1 drops and breaks your camera and child number 2 throws your phone to the ground shattering the glass. Thankfully said deceased phone had already uploaded these pics to google so I can access them, but alas I haven't had a good way, other than Jed's phone to take pictures. The loaner phone I was using that had a few pictures on it...uh...went missing while boating two weeks ago. (I KNOW!!) SO, all of those photos are gone...forever. I'll have to see what I can put together from the stuff from Jed's and hopefully put together a post in the future of what we've been up to this summer. Until then, here are some happenings from May. Sorry for the looong intro. If you're still reading, kudos to you. That means that the interwebs, DVRs, and instant streaming world we live in hasn't completed jaded you.

Some randoms....

He thinks he's hilarious...I think he's adorable

Addie helping "check on brother" when he woke up from his nap"

He has discovered the cozy coupe. Love at first sight. Just like his daddy and little red coupes ;)

Standard dude position.

Taking a stroll

We took a little break from real life and pretended we went on vacation....all the way to SLC ;)

We went to a baptism in Sandy early one Saturday morning, then surprised Addie by telling her we were going to sleep in a hotel, swim and play ALL day together. 

 We started up at Ruth's diner for some good grub. Who makes pancakes that looks like a teddy bear? They do. Cute.

We were all SO stuffed after.

We went to the This is the Place park and saw all the baby farm animals

(isn't it odd to see us all wearing jackets in these pictures? holy crap, it's friggin hot now)

Addie had a pony ride :) and for those who don't know, ponies aren't baby horses....

cutest little goats and animal friends all over that we could just walk up and pet

 or be licked by...the sheep followed Dalton's stroller. At first I wondered if they thought he was their mama. Then I remembered he had snacks in the bottom. Ha. That goat really wanted to eat his leather binky clip though.

Riding the train

How entertaining City Creek is for boys

Addie would live there though. She was thrilled to show her daddy the Disney store. 

So excited to sleep in a couch that became a bed. That blew her mind. My kids are deprived in the traveling department I guess. She kept saying, Um I think this just IS a real vacation.

Awesome, keep expectations low. I like it. 

The next morning, Dalton woke up with a fever :(

Poor lovey.

He's pretending the thermometer is a phone. "Hi Daddy"

A couple dance pictures....there was also a recital. It was 4 hours long. Enough said.

Morning cuddles. I like that they like each other.

Swiiing....ah, late spring/early summer. How I adore those temperatures.

Mother's Day "Pignic" at Addie's preschool. 

I'm unsure where the photos from her graduation ended up....hopefully on dad's phone. Sigh, someday I'll figure out where June is....

Lovin' spaghetti 

No monkeys allowed sign. This has been on my door til a week ago. Apparently that is a huge problem these days, keeping monkeys out of bedrooms?

Dinosaur park field trip

BFFs....love those girls

Dalton can say "apple" and it's cute.

And....then later this day, my phone was shattered into an oblivion. Goodbye, dear Epic. You did indeed see me through some Epic times. Xoxo. 

I titled this picture "epic fail" fitting, yes?

And now, I shall scroll through my facebook and instagram photos hoping to put together another post soon about how awesome summer is and such. Hope all of you are enjoying yours! Heaven knows y'all aren't blogging about it if you are! :)
