While we were in Arizona we had sooo much fun! We also got to get our pics taken by Stacey Kay Photography. She is a good friend of my mom and does amazing work! She is also the one who shot our wedding. The kids had a hard time sitting still and listening but still the pics turned out great i was amazed that we actually got some of them smiling! i am sure that the majority are of them being boogers. But I looove these pics of them! And am so glad to have updated ones finally! SO wish she lived here so she could do the new babies new born pics!

Now I know I look a little .... pudgy in the pics but hello! I was 4 months prego gimme a break! (p.s the pregnancy is going well and tomorrow we will find out whether its a boy or girl!!)

We did these family pictures with my mom side of the family and my siblings and thier spouses and my little sisters baby Riley ( she looks so much like caitlin!).




































































































































































Now these are the only pics I personally took and they are with my phone because we dont have a camera! sad i know but it broke! ugh any ways, This is Rian pooped out on the couch at grandma lindbloms house after all the fun we had that week.









While we were there we got to go to payton's birthday party. We had so much fun. Especially rian because all the girls got to be princesses! Natalie did an amazing job decorating and I am so sad I forgot to take a picture of it! And the pics I did take are not so good :( sorry again!











The kids got to whack the pinyatta till all the candy came out! They loved that we had to do it indoors because it was pooring outside. I was really worried about the house getting smashed and the gorgeous decorations being ruined but it all worked out great! This is Rian taking her turn with the bat.





And this is maddox swinging his hardest! of course he never actually looks at what he is doing so he didnt do to much damage to the pinyatta.

And of course Maddox does not like to be left out of anything so while peyton and rian were playing princess dress up maddox also slipped on a pair of princess high heels! Isn't he so pretty!

And this was the aftermath of the pinyata smashing! Brock and his dad decided they made pretty good princess hats! And brock is worried about maddox being to femmy??! ha ha ha

We had fun in arizona and miss everyone soo much! Love you all!

*** I have no clue why the Pics are not lining up with the words but WHATEVER!!! ha ha I have no idea how to fix it!

Rian is obsessed with playing dress up and getting make up on!

We went to a baseball game with some friends when my mom and little brother came into town at minute maid park

For some reason rian stuck her tongue out for almost every pic

Gavin really didnt want to be in this pic

this is rians "surprise" face!

Maddox likes to dress up like super hero's he says that he runs faster with his cape like batman

he was eating corn and looking cute with huge bites but when i went to take a pic he gave me a silly smile

At a park near our house there is also the wave pool so while we were waiting for it to open we played! maddox had soo much fun.

Rian and maddox on our way to the woodlands

My family mom, brothers, step dad and my kids with the woodlands mall police man

On the trolly to market street the kids loved it

maddox kept saying "Choo Choo!!!"

the kids playing in the fountain on market street. after this pic maddox got a face full of water!

We have had so much fun this summer so far and we will post more pics from our next adventures!

So I have figured that i LoOvE pictures! I think they speak sO much louder than words! not only can you SeE what it is the people are doing but you can see their happiness and eXPresSioNs and actually feel like you are there with them having fun! So Since mOSt of my posts have been pics i will continue that way this is now offically a PIcTurE blog :)

Working backwards...

Memorial day was spent soakin up the rays and getting dusted by the sand

Mommy Rian and Maddox building castles

Rian, Maddox and Daddy baskin in the salty water

Rian and Maddox getting ready to jump the big wave!

Daddy saving rian from her tumble when she didn't clear the big wave and it took her out!

Maddox doing what he does best... playin alone. That boy loves his alone time. (might be because rian is a little smothering.)

Daddy, Maddox, and Rian shoveling dirt

after 3 min of me yellin over the roar of the waves "look at me!" this is what i got. A clueless madd, and a partial glance from ri.

Daddy is just a bit sour about the fact that sand is rushing up his shorts.

Me and my happy skittles.... they never look at the camera!

Saturday was spent chillin in the backyard for the first half of the day and the last half was spent having a blast at Houston's children's museum.

she has always liked to stick her tongue out at me.

Pretending the lawn sprinkler is and airplane... Notice the big boy undies!! yup he is getting potty trained and doing soo well!

My little princess. Sometimes if you bribe them with cookies they pose for the camera

And this is the childrens museum. She loved those old phones

And this is the kid pully

glow in the dark station.

This weekend they also got their summer hair cuts! Rian brought me a picture and said "Hey mom will you cut my hair just like this? She looks like and summer, I love aunt summy." I have no idea where she got that from ( the girl in the pic looked similar to you summer but she did not have you hair cut ha ha) she kept sayin that aunt summy had to come over later in a couple of days when she is done with school. what an imagination!
And maddox just wanted his hair like daddy's so he got a mohawk. He was a little upset when i said he could not color his hair black like dads though.
