I WAS THE FIRST TO SEE PREGNANT NIKKI (besides chris)

so these are fotos of today when nikki and the kids came down for a bbq and pool party... well it started out as a pool party but we all got cold (despite that the pool is heated and it was 75 degrees out) and it quickly became a hot tub party instead. so my favorite is when i first got in the pool with kenz she would cling onto any limb of me that she could get at but when i told her i was going to throw her across the pool into the deep end where tanner was, she goes in all seriousness "thatz ok ill swim to him" in the flirtiest way possible!! soo funny! and she kept standing on the stairs asking uncle jim to come get her and swim with her... such a girl

so this is tanner's brother-in-law colby (who can't swim) holding jax and dax in the pool... who kenzy decided was uncle jim? i don't know where she got that but it was funny... o yea and dax was alex and dewey was brigham...

tanner some how aqcuired all the children at once after dinner. (he had the blanket and it had gotten cold out)




he likes getting his picture he just can't keep his eyes open


dewey has always been the little guy so he kinda took advantage of bullying tiny little jayden...he was soo amused to see some one smaller than him he kept petting him on the head.

and i guess nikki was attempting to look like renee. i don't know... this was after our walk around the neighborhood and visiting the horses... good stuff... too bad katy was too cool to attend.

Easter and Ooowie

So I got my 2nd easter basket ever!!! it was exciting haha the picture is taken on top of tanner's mini fridge hence the bread and tolls and devil's juice...

By the time i realized that tanner had brought the camera up to his parent's all the pictures worth taking were already gone... but this is tanner's nephews (my buckaroos) chasing these ducks that come back to their house every year because tanner's mom feeds them... dewey especially loved them, he is so funny about it, he growls at them b/c thatz pretty much the only sound he knows how to make. i did get the camera out to get a picture of him just sitting on the stairs growling at the ducks but once i got outside to get the camera he wanted to run around with me

sooo on friday after work, i decided i was going to take a quick bath before meeting up with katy and renee and micah and jamie and once i got in the tub i realized i had forgot a towel so i ran out to go get it.. when i came back into the bathroom i completely fell on the ground and my legs went underneath the cabinet and i walked my ankles really hard (couldn't walk for 3 days) what you can't tell from looking at them is that i bruised my ankle bones really bad and also i have bruises and scrapes on my arms and a few more bruises on various parts of my leg!! :( it wasn't fun

and i had a band aid on it... and now you can kinda see in this picture... its getting nice and infected... hence the red surrounding the wound!!

and this is just the other ankle

tanner and i babysat the nephews today, and the boys both came asleep and dewey woke up so tanner cuddled with him and got him back to sleep, along with falling asleep himself (it was soo precious!!!) and this is me sneaking in to take pictures... moments before daxten woke up and spewed all over the bed he was sleeping in and the moment was killed when i had to wake tanner up to help me get him into the bath!! the poor little buckaroo!!

The Videos!

somehow katy had all the kids crawling around like cats and this is that... i accidently covered the sound thing so you can't really hear them meowing all that well... but it was cute!!





So this is lizzie (obviously) and some water and rings game thing that mom gave them... she LOVES that thing... and i don't think she ever got the rings on the poles but she kept telling everyone that she WON so this is her winning!! (and yes she is using me as a bed!)




This would be a video of kenzy and lizzie singing.... i was trying to get a video of kenzy singing "you make me feel like a natural woman" but when i asked her to sing it again... this is what i got!




Kenzy said or did something to Tanner trying to get him to chase her... so she got her wish!!



and these are carrie's neighbors crazy dogs that don't have voice boxes!! they were sooooo annoying and jaxon and alex thought that they would tease them... so they did! unfortunately i kept covering the sound catcher thingy with my finger so you can't hear very well!




Jayden had lots of fun with this thing of cheese... and at the end of the video that is jayden making that grunting noise... he made that sound alot... o yea and for prayers he folds his arms... i didn't think to get a video of it but it was soo cute!

More Fun Weekend! (part 2)

so this picture was me telling the kids to make funny faces... it didn't come out to clear though but still cute!
then alll the kids take turns driving tanners car...




so every picture i tried to take of jayden came out like he was half asleep because the flash bothered him no matter how far away i tried to take the picture




and someone was feeding him chocolate and got it all over his face... and im not suppose to be in that picture... ewww



this was lizzie's sunday outfit and her jacket was SOOO cute!!! (she has a whole cheese stick in her mouth because katy said she could brush her teeth when she finished her string cheese!)


he was havig sooo much fun with that newspaper... it kept him entertained for a long while!



while we were having dessert lizzie was just sitting like this over in the living room by herself


this was like a run off ditch or something that katy and the boys found that they just haaad to go back later to go play in... so this is them playing there while the older males went to the river to play with the rc boat





jamie being beat up by the children like always.


this was lizzies SUPER cute outfit, she had a cute little jeans skirt on and her tutu that she just loves! i think here she was running across the yard to me because she loves me!! hahah


we were playing soccer!! it was lots of fun... until a certain boyfriend of mine with steel toed boots decided to kick my foot instead of the ball!! (by accident)


and this is the position i most often see katy and micah.... i think her legs broke because since they have started dating i don't think i've seen her walk on her own legs



and now the kids decide to beat up on mark

everyone had to climb the tree in the front yard



i was laying down on the ground and liz decided that i would be a comfortable place to lay down and play her fish game and this was my attempt to take a picture of it


and this is us sticking our tongues out


micah and the baby... and for some reason he feels that this is a good face for every time he gets his picture taken... i tried to tell him it wasn't such a good one but he refused to listen!
