 Mom and Dad  team 007, still crazy and in love after all these years.

 Ben and his family(the first born) Team 01

 Camille and her family( team 02) second born do you get the numbers yet?

 

Scott, Stephanie and Casen, he wasn't in love with the picture idea.

 John may or may not be holding kaydence's arms, and I may or may not be holing her legs down with my legs so she can't flail her body around, because of the massive fit she may or may not have been having.

 Kayla and Tyson

Ship Stuff--

Pirate Party

 

 Formal Night, I got the girls matching dresses, can you say stinking cute!

 Kaydence loved all the towel animals!! She slept with one every night.

 Welcome aboard party. Yes We all had matching blue shirts made. :) it came in handy

 We stood in this line full of wired little girls and cranky parents for more than a dang hour all just for pictures and autographs.With the princesses.

 Breakfast with the Characters.

 Mexican Riviera Minni. Ha Ha

 Princess Tea party!!! You are only able to come with a special ticket.  Don't worry I got them the first day. Ha Ha, time well spent, Kaydence loved it. Juice, cookies, princesses and a mini ball, yup you can't go wrong.

The Princes snuck in, too, don't they both seem thrilled?

 The Ball

 All 10 of the granddaughters. What a beautiful bunch of girls. Watch out boys!!!

Puerto Vallarta Wednesday!!!

 We took a private tour!! it was so dang fun, Thanks to Stephanie and her inability to not plan. She and Scott got us a little tour set up, we went to a killer little  beach and waterfall.  Then to a restaurant and another beach. John and I got the best FRESH seafood platter ever, it probably could have fed the entire population of the island. But soo yummy.

 The boat ride knocked out all the kids, by the time we made it to the island.

 a pelican Island thing, there are tons of nests, because the predators can't make the swim.

 Our little snorkel group, I was chose to be photographer, D'Enna was too small to go out, maybe the idea of it was scary.

 Ken and Lindsi with their 2 boys.

John Took Kaydence out, she loves the water!

 Gunner and D'Enna, how cute are they!

 The older kids played in the sand while we had lunch and the babies napped. 

 

Friday Cabo Day 1 & 2,   Sorry the pictures are all combined. We did the whole tourist thing our first day, John and I met a lady who claimed to be Pinks mom or mother in law. Who knows, the grill she worked at had great food. We bought the girls including me  little Spanish dresses, it was 117 that day so we all traded our clothes and just wore them. They were nice and cool! Then we had to be back to the cruise ship.Day 2 we  had a great day, a mini glass bottom boat tour along the coast over to this gorgeous beach "lovers beach" it was really nice until about 11 when all the rest of the tourists arrived and crowded us out. all the adults took turns tending kids, while the others went to see "divorced beach".

 Waiting for uncle John( aka John Bar) to work his big spanish magic on a killer boat deal, ha ha.

 Fish!

 This is how D'Enna kept grandpa out of trouble. They kept each other happy.

 John and I  saw a few guys jumping off this rock and thought why not. so swam out and Jumped off the top of it Soooo fun!!!

 The girls made"muffins" for like an hour it was so funny.

 Chillaxing in the ocean!

 Sea Lion island, lazy bums.

 Window to the pacific.

 Our sandy feet picture! Kaydence loved all the sand.

 

 Lovers beach, peaking at Divorce  beach

 I am going to DIE!!

Kaydence is now 3!!

 Kaydence turned 3 on the 28th! We had  a small get together with some friends and family. She wanted a Rapunzel cake so I found this idea on the Internet and she okayed it.

 

Lincon sneaking a drink, and Nicole.  We had and Ice cream bar, with sprinkles, cherry's, and whip cream included!! Yummy!

Some guests, Steph, Scott, Grandpa Cleave, Grandma Geneal,Papa Mike and Papa Mark

The moms hiding out, also if you look close, my hanging lanterns, i filled them with treats, ct a trap door in the bottom and added a bunch of ribbon.

Kaydence's loot!! Thanks everyone, I think she got like 5 Rapunzel dolls. Ha Ha

5 months

Our little D'Enna Bug. She is getting so big. She is starting to find her voice, I haven't introduced any cereal or solids into her diet, but soon. She is rolling over, and sort of sitting unsupported( I have to be very close she is still tipsy) and absolutely loves watching her sister Kaydence dance around and play. She is the best tempered baby ever, I even think better than Kaydence. D'Enna is sleeping from 9pm-7am at night and takes crazy 5 minute to 30 minute random cat naps through out the day. So this mommy can't complain.

just one reason why I pay for family pictures(good idea bad turn out)

Happy face!

Squealing face, or crap mom I think I might fall or roll over.

First day of school :)

So I signed Kaydence up for preschool. I am so excited she gets to go make new friends, and interact with someone besides me and family. I think it will be SSOOOO good for her. She goes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:30-1:30 To Jen Stewarts in Centerfield.  This is the best time for us. We are late risers at our house so we are still able to sleep in and make it to school with out looking homeless.

Cheese

"get my back pack too mom, my other grandma gave it to me"( for those of you who don't know other grandma is actually my mom) that is what she calls her, and yes she knows her name is Delene.

 I have 2 kids and 1 is in school, just a little reality slap. Where does time go?

PS : Is she not super cute or is it just the proud mom in me?

Lessons, and a Daddy visit!

So we sent John back to work the 5th and started up swimming lessons.  I am so bad at taking pictures, but I did get these, she just jumped off the side of the pool to her teacher.Kaydence that is. Kaydence is a fish!, She loves the water and has NO fear of it( unfortunately!). But I love Manti's Aquatic center(aka pool).

We snuck up to Idaho to spend a week or so with John! It is so nice to go there, his Aunt and uncles are all so welcoming and caring. John's entire extended family seems to live within 10 miles of each other in Paul, Rupert, and Burley. So I got to get to know lots of them especially his grandma Kloepfer on a more personal level.

Swinging at our play day with John's 2 sisters Camille and Tausha and their kids in Burley Idaho

The boys got off a little early so we could have some much needed family time.  we went to some ICE CAVES, pretty cool. don't ask me where they are besides in Idaho out in the middle of no where.

The ( TWIN??) Falls these were so beautiful!!!

Family photo, Kaydence wouldn't stand with us. So we did one with out her. Proved her wrong.

Her Hiding from our cute group shot.  Oh and I think Evil Kenevil tried to jump this canyon on a motorcycle. what retard. ha ha
