Gilbert Constitution Days!

Ok....I am supposed to be blogging about the awesome Gilbert Constitution Days that we went to this last Sat....However, I am so ticked about my camera, I can't even think straight. For no apparent reason my flash isn't working and all my pictures are dark. Here is a cute pic of Weston with his Flag tattoo...and you can't even see him.

Anyway, in Gilbert they put on the best show, games, free stuff and fireworks in the Nation to celebrate our Constitution and our soldiers. We went last year and had to go again. It is worth the drive and they even announced that it is the biggest Celebration in the whole United States.

Ahhhh, I cannot blog without pictures. I am so bummed.

Here they are with cupcakes after the cake walk.

Went to the Dentist

It has been a while since a dentist trip was any fun...or affordable for that matter. But today was good news. No cavities! That is for the kids at least. I didn't even bother checking myself. I have had enough dental work for one year.
Here are some cute pics of my little healthy brushers! They did great by the way. I was shocked that Weston held so still. Those of you who know him will understand this was a great accomplishment.

Pregnant belly

So here is fun picture I took of myself while Jake was digging trenches in our back yard. I wasn't trying to look all posey or anything. My arm is just up to hide the camera. It shows my belly none the less....and this way you don't have to look at my swollen face or ankles!

I got all fired up watching Oprah today. Here is a great way we can do something. Go to this link and it will lead you to how to get in touch with your local State Senators and help pass this law. Ed Smart (Elizabeth Smart's Dad) is behind this bill and it helps get the funding out...so we can put these sickos behind bars. I know we feel helpless, but this can help.

My Brothers

Ok. I am from Rural Idaho...so don't be offended, but I grew up hunting. Here is a cool picture of 5 of my 9 brothers.
Thomas shot a bear...he was thrilled. Congrats Bro!

Tagged: Picture Tag

So I just went to my friend Memory's blog...who moved away from Maricopa to the beautiful state of California. Anyway, she tagged me with this photo thingy...so here it is. This was somewhat embarrassing,...since I do clean, but just on Fridays. It would have been spotless on Friday. Also, my camera takes horrible pictures indoors, so sorry.



Here are the rules. I tag Sarah Jones, Tracy Badger and Anne Boice
PICTURE BLOG TAG. The rules are you have to take ten pictures of the following things. And you have to do it right away. No straightening, cleaning or wiping your child's nose.



1. The inside of your fridge.

2. Your Closet

3. A self Portrait. 4. Your favorite room in the house. I chose my kitchen. I just like the layout and enjoy cooking in this kitchen.
5. Your kitchen sink. No cleaning guys. 6. Your Laundry Room ( I need hidden storage above my washer and dryer.)
7. Your toilet

8. Your kids (whatever they are doing right now, Weston was dancing with a singing truck. ) Aubrey was at school.

9. Your dream vacation. This is Jake in the Bahamas. This was our dream vacation and it would be so awesome to take our whole family someday. 10. Your favorite pair of shoes. I love these shoes and they remind me of when we were on Wheel of Fortune.

Ok...so this is worth posting.

This Saturday thanks to our wonderful Sister and Brother in law...we were able to take a long awaited trip to the Mesa temple. Mike and Mari babysat our kids and we really appreciate it. Here are some cute pics (off of Mike's i-phone...good huh!) of the kids.
Playing at the splash pad.

Of course: Guitar Hero
and Mcdonalds Happy Meals.

Me at 28 weeks...

The truth is I had Jake grab a picture of me today...after church, and I just can't bear to post it. I keep looking at it, thinking...this can't be me, not at 28 weeks. No, I will just post a picture another day, maybe at 32 weeks. Then it won't seem so bad that I look 9 months pregnant. Oh, I am sorry if anyone cares, but those who don't have to see me, can just be grateful. I have never kept track before with pictures...maybe I was this big before...ignorance is bliss.

And we have Success!

A happier girl today. Notice she is first in line...this was planned by Aubrey well in advance.

So not only did she go to school without any tears...but she absolutely loved it! Aubrey said she was a "little bit excited, but mostly nervous" yesterday. Today she said she is the most "excitable of all the world." We will miss her, but I am so happy to see our little girl growing up and learning new things. She comes home and teaches Weston everthing she learned. Thanks Legacy!

My little school girl!

It is pathetic that I am already posting pics of Aubrey and she isn't even home from her first day of school yet. I guess I am just so excited that she went and didn't cry or anything. She was definitely nervous...so I didn't know what to expect today. Aubrey was mainly grouchy when I dropped her off, because we had to stand outside waiting for the "flag ceremony" and it was 112 degrees outside. It took about 20 minutes in the heat, so I was grouchy too. Here are some pics of her grouchy, hot face. I can't wait to for 2:40pm to pick her up and hear how it went down. They grow up too fast.
She is so quiet in this video (we call her our low talker) so just turn up your volume.
