Be Back Later

Our weekend was full of fun! Justin's family was down here to celebrate Elliott's birthday and Julie's basketball games. Friday we ate out and then went to the park. Saturday we got up early and met everyone at the Hogle Zoo. The boys had more fun this time because Justin and Uncle Clark carried them most the time. They could see all the animals. Here are some pictures from the weekend... Looking at the monkey's with Grandma

Taylor hated the swing. He hates anything that has to do with fast movement.
Braxton didn't like it either.

As for this week we are off to Arizona with Justin's family for the Hatch Family Reunion. I am leaving tomorrow with Dan, Callie and the rest of the family. Justin will meet us in Arizona on Friday after work. We will see you in a week! :-)

Sun, Yum and more...

This afternoon Kim, Elliott, and Quinn decided to come for a visit. We went swimming and had ice cream cones. All the boys were more chocolate then boy when they were finished but they all enjoyed it! Elliott, Taylor, and Braxton Taylor decided to play in his ice cream rather then eat it
Braxton's was up his nose by the time he was done

Taylor splashed and played in the pool by himself because Braxton was taking a nap and Elliott found more fun things to explore.

Why do I even bother folding the laundry? I leave the room for two seconds and come back to two boys enjoying undoing what I have done. They had the biggest smiled on their faces that I just had to laugh. Taylor
Look at that innocent face

I washed the sheets so all the other bedding was on the floor and the boys had so much fun playing on it. They were laughing and having a great time. Braxton even figured out how to climb to the top to get onto the bed. Crazy kid!

We are LOVING the pool

We have loved being able to go to the pool. We have gone three times now. It is just a little splash pool but it is just the right size for my kids. I can just sit on the edge and enjoy the sun!!

Justin got to the pool just in time to chase them around and let me rest for a few minutes :-)

Braxton actually liked this tube (at first).
Braxton loving the water!

Taylor loved the water this day too!
Taylor got to the Nila Waffers before anyone knew what was going on. He is pretty quick when it comes to food! I never posted the Father's Day picture of Justin and my boys. Brax was not participating like I would have liked. :-)

2 pushes later...

Kyler Merrill Holverson

(I should have asked on the spelling. Hope it is right. ha ha) Yippie for the Holverson Family. The cute little baby boy was born this morning at 11:07 (ish). We all got to the hospital just in time for the little guy to come into this world. Sarah and I were debating who got to go into the room (we both had our kids with us so one had to stay out) and by the time we decided , well, I decided I was going in, the baby was already here. Man that was quick!! Lucky girl! They all are doing great and the kids are so excited about the cute little guy!
We are so glad we got to be here!!

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

On Friday we finally got out to Star Mill to take pictures of all the kids! Of course my kids had to be crying the WHOLE time! I got a few good pictures in between fits but mostly crying pictures. AGHHH!!! Why couldn't they be good for this one afternoon! Ha ha, they hate pictures that's why! Anyhow, I did end up with a few good pictures. They HATED this grass but I left them there until they stopped crying. So mean.
This old truck was so fun to take pictures by. You will have to check out Em's and Sar's pictures when they get them up on their blogs because they got some really cute ones!

I know this one is dark but hopefully I will be able to save it because it was one of the better ones of Brax.

Taylor takes really cute pictures! So sweet.
Wow, he is smiling! It didn't last long.

I loved the setting of this one but of course I didn't get any good pictures of the boys in it. Oh well! Maybe we can try again at the end of the summer when Justin can go with me. He can always make my boys laugh!

Did I really post this??

If any of you really know me this is TOTALLY not me until yesterday when I was shopping at Gateway with my mom and sisters. I have never liked "prints" of anything. Not even cute shoes. I walked into Ann Taylor (which I just need to stay out of because I can't afford it) I loved loved loved this dress. I looked at the price and thought Hmmm.. I will just try in on for fun! BAD IDEA! I LOVED IT!!! I obviously didn't buy it but I am dreaming of it! ha haThen we walked down the road a little and saw this way cute store that mom and I had never been in. Once again, bad idea to even go it. I saw this stuff and loved it all too!!! They had the chair and zebra stuff with aqua and brown (who would think you can put black and brown together now! and if this has been the style for a while I am obviously not IN style). I had never really thought of using Aqua until I saw Camille use it and it is so cute! Anyhow, I love this chair. Justin thinks I am crazy :-)And this is just cute...

Tall, square tables is all I have ever wanted until yesterday! This oval table was the cutest table I have ever seen! Can you tell I don't shop much because everything was so cute to me! Someday I will have a house to decorate.

And then again with the Zebra. It was just used as a small accent. So cute and I really don't know what my obsession with Zebra is this week.

Well, now you know my current wishes. If anyone wants to buy it for me I will accept it. :-) ha ha

Afternoon at the pool

Monday afternoon we sepnt the afternoon at the pool. The boys still aren't too sure about the water but by the end, Braxton was splashing and havaing a good time. Taylor didn't like the water again but loved crawling around the pool and eating Nila Waffers. Taylor
