JULY...

Wow...well July has been a crazy/great month for us!  We spent the first three weeks of it vacationing in Cali and then Arizona!  What a blast...here are some pics to recap a little of the fun we had!!

My sweet Lyla Belle...I love doing her hair like this!

My Abigale!!  So cute!

Max on Mom's Birthday...so happy!

Max and his girlfriend Payton!!  Such cuties!

Abby and Lyla got to pet several things at the San Diego County Fair!  This is them petting a lamb.  But they got to feed cows, and pet pigs..they had a blast!

Max mainly did this...haha!

We got the girls faces painted at the fair too...Abby got a unicorn

Lyla got a strawberry!  I guess this is what you get when you let a 2 yr old pick!

We went to Belmont Park...they no longer have Tuesday Family night, but we had the girls ride the carousel anyway!

Sweet Lyla and Daddy!

And Max again...in his stroller!

Here are the girls at Knott's Berry Farm on the Train!  It was SOOOOO HOT!!!

I got to see my old college roomie Nattie and her hubby John!  It was so fun to see them and so nice of them to join us at Knott's for the afternoon!!  Nattie held Max so I could go on the "big kid rides."  THANKS NAT!

Here are all my kiddos and all of my brother AJ's kiddos!  SO CUTE!

ZOE, ABBY, MAX, MAYLI, LYLA, & TORI

Had to get a pic with Grammie and Papa before we left!  They were so nice to let us stay with them in their little love shack!  I am sure they were ready for us to leave!!!

We stopped in Vegas on the way home and saw my sister Natalie and her family!  They just moved there the week before!!  Here are our adorable kids!!

CARSON, MACY, LYLA, ABBY, MAX, & EMILY

When we got home from our long drive we went out front and just sat...it is still nice enough to do that here in UT!  Which is so nice!  Max loved sitting in the grass!!

Other news for our family that we found out in July is that Spencer got a JOB!!!  YAY!  And not only that but it is at his old High school!  So it is about two miles away from our house!!  SO NICE!  We are so proud of Spencer and know that he will do great as a school counselor and Viewmont High School is lucky to have him!!  Wow, well that was a long post if I do say so myself!  I am so grateful for all of the blessings that my Heavenly Father gives to me!  I know that he loves me and my family and knows what's best for us! 

This is for you SHANNON...

Here are some sweet videos of the girls singing primary songs for you!

Summer FUN....Finally!

Here is Max watching everyone while we planted our garden! Such a sweetie!!

We got season passes to Seven Peaks this year..I am so glad we did! I love having a tan!!! Here are some pics of my girlies before we went to Seven Peaks last week!!

YAY!!! So happy to be going swimming in our new suits!

Sorry, no photos of Max in his swimming suit this time but soon! It is SO CUTE! The girls start swimming lessons tomorrow!! YAY for being out this summer!

LONG POST!!!!!

Alright guys, so my camera is a Kodak easy share but the easy share button broke or something so I haven't been able to get the photos off of my camera...so I took the memory card out and put it in another camera and there you have it! So here is from this past week all the way down to Easter...ENJOY!

So PROUD!!! It was cold and raining slightly but here we are after Abigale's graduation ceremony!

My sweet Abigale graduated Preschool this past week! She is such a blessing in our lives!!!

We spent the weekend in Park City with the whole Keddington Clan as Shannon is moving to AZ in a few short weeks, we had a lot of fun as we always do when we are together!! We were going to go to the Alpine slide but it is still closed as there is too much snow still so we went to the Olympic Park instead!!
Keddington KIDS!! Krista, Alicia, Derrick, Shannon, Nate, Spencer

At the Utah Olympic Park the other day and got our family pic in the Gold medal winning bobsled! AWESOMENESS!!! After this picture we walked (AKA HIKED) the entire bobsled trail...it was a mile long each way...but the little girls wanted to do it!

Spencer graduated with his masters on our 6 year anniversary! What a GREAT day it was!! I am so proud of my hubby and all of the hard work he does for our family!!

Soaking up the sun in the hot tub at Grammie and Papa's! Loved it!!

CHEESE!

Happy Max! So excited by everything around him!

Jelly bean SMILE!

Sweet Lyla Belle! She found her BIG egg!

Abby found the BIG egg the Easter bunny hid for her!

We did an early Easter hunt with my cousin Amanda and her family! The girls loved it!!!

Loading up the basket!!

Looking for eggs!

I can't believe May is almost over! Max hits the 8 month mark in TWO DAYS! He is growing up too fast!! I love my family and am so grateful to have them all in my life! What a blessing I have of knowing that I can be with them FOREVER!

Early Easter...

Well, I may or may not be here for Easter Sunday so today I decided to dress the kids up nice for church and take a few pics! Here is Abby! And Lyla...curly hair! I LOVE IT!

And sweet Max

Best shot at all three of them together! Such sweethearts!

My Grandma (the kiddos Great Grammie) made these dresses for my girls last year...which they wore, but they still fit this year and they LOVE them! So that made it easy...just had to find something for Max to wear! SWEETIES!

Pictures

Here are a couple pics of Max and Abby....

Doctors...

Well frankly I can say that I am sick of doctors this week. I had to go three times for Max as he had croup and then bronchitis. But probably the worst of all was having to take Lyla in because she was running around in circles with Abby in the front room and fell into the hearth on the fireplace...OUCH. Here she is happy as a clam with her band aid on! Look at that cut. It is about 1 inch + and is right above her right eyebrow. I am really sad about this as she will have a scar on her face forever!

We were told by the doctors that anytime we take her out in the sun for the next year we have to put sunscreen on it...dang! That is so high maintenance! She was and always has been a trooper about getting hurt, although she still has a grudge towards her grandpa, who held her head down/still while the doctor put in the 5 stitches.

Seriously people...Lyla is the only one of my kids that gets hurt. She is 2 1/2 and she has already had a broken arm, broken nose, and now this. It makes me so sad!
