4. That's all. Thanks. Bye.

Babs

Well, it happened my friends. Babs paid us a little suprise visit on Friday. Don't get me wrong, we love Babs, but we were a little shocked and amazed she pulled a visit off. She flew down to St. George on Thursday and stayed at their place there. Then she came on down to "sin city" on Friday and stayed overnight, then went back up on Saturday afternoon. So we just wanted to tell Babs thanks so much for spending part of the weekend with us. The kids had a blast. We went to Cheesecake for lunch on Friday and she was so nice to watch the kids that night so I could go to bootcamp!!! What a trooper!!!!! Jon was out of town all week so my alone time was much appreciated. Jayden came over on Saturday and we all went out to breakfast. Andrew went to his first basketball "draft" that day. It was hilarious to watch the "rookies" display their skills. They put them on teams, then they start games in a couple weeks. Andrew can't wait. We had a blast with Jayden. He is a cute little guy!!!

The pumpkin mask was the outfit of the day for Char Char.

Mollie and Charlie posing of course outside Cheesecake.

The "Do"

Andrew had pictures at school yesterday. He is great at posing too. This pic is for the fam in Utah that haven't seen the short "do" yet. The morning went relatively smooth compared to most mornings. I got to do the hair and he chose the shirt. Usually it's a battle of the hair. He usually wins. Jon keeps telling me to "pick my battles." I'm still not ready to give this one up.

The kids ready to head to school.

If any of you know Charlie, you know of his obsession with halloween. He wore this mask all day. Still very obsessed.

Thanks!!!!

....for all of the comments and emails that were sent today! It is fun to read what everyone thinks of the new blog. Still trying to figure it out. Took some pictures in the backyard today to practice my loading and posting skills. I can't seem to take a spontaneous picture. The second they see the camera they start posing. We will try to work on this!!! I'll try to get one of Andrew with his hair all cut off now. Your welcome Patti.

Holy Crap

I keep saying this to myself as I sit here creating this blog. I never thought it would come to this. I am weak and have succumb to peer pressure, (Heather,Linde).
I now have a blog.
Chi O friends, just shut up, I can hear you laughing at me now.
I will never hear the end of this.
Sarah Redd, this one is for you. I am now so sorry I made fun of your blogging addiction, and having too much free time on you hands.
Maggie, your next. You can run, but you can't hide.
So, here is my first attempt to post.
I will try to keep it interesting, don't hold your breath.

Charlie's first words to me on his way downstairs this morning.
"Mom?"
Yeah Char Char.
"Did Emily have a baby and a doggy come out of her tummy?"

The way Emily and Jake treat Oli, you would think so.

Sydney is the cutest!! And so are you Oli.

Can't wait to see her!
