July Mumbo Jumbo

Tanner is by far the best brother I've ever seen!  Though Kaden is occasionally cranky to Tan, Tan always forgives him before Kaden's even apologized.  Kaden will ask Tan to protect him and sleep in his bed.

Our lovely friend gave us free tickets to the circus.  The kids had never been.  The modern day circus is about 10 times more entertaining that when I was young.  There were amazing trapeze artists, dangerous motorcyclists on ropes, girls spinning/hanging by their real long hair and any more human tricks!

 Some fun pictures before Sean shaved my head.  I couldn't resist spiking it!

 Tanner continues to be very creative.  I love his imagination!

When I wasn't able to carry Colbster, I'd put his booster on the floor and bribe him to sit down.  It worked wonderfully!

Who's in charge?

Kaden always brightens my day when he brings me chicken feet!

Adorable

 Auntie Holly took these pics at the park while she was visiting.  I hadn't been taking pictures due to  recovering from my mastectomy.  Holly sure knows how to keep me happy!

Our Cutie Pie - 17 months

While growing up my mother used to call us endless nicknames as do I with my children.

One of the nicknames that stuck for all of my siblings and I was, Cutie Pie!

No doubt Colbster is a Cutie Pie!

He is constantly pointing at what he thinks he wants, and we guess at what it is.

He gets just about anything and everything he wants from all members of the family! The kids will give him their toys and suckers. Tanner will even gamble and let Colby hold his I-touch.  Anything to make him happy. It is pretty fun to watch.

I wouldn't say he's spoiled at this point but it could turn into a sticky situation the older he gets.

Auntie Holly took these adorable pictures of our lil'rocker. She even spiked his hair, so cute!

Our Cutie Pie completes our family.

Recovering Fun

 Feeling loved right after I returned home from the hospital post surgery.

 We went to the Mowers to visit with Jacob.  We only had surgery 2 days apart. 

Though I didn't feel very good while recovering from surgery,  I loved getting out and watching the kids have fun with their cousins.  I love that Daddy kept them busy and took them out for fun adventures while out of school.

 Home Depot Saturday fun date with Daddy.

 My sweet model posing with the dandy lions she picked for me.

 When I wasn't able to push the stroller my strong Tanner took charge so we could still go on walks.

 Concert in the Park fun.  Kaden and Colby were rocking out.  Just priceless!

 Brooklyn and Tanner got to go to the drive in with their cousins for Samuels birthday.

 This is what happens when I don't go to the park and Dad is in charge.

  Daddy trying to work hard from the motor home. He's so smart!  He figured out how he can use his internet and work phone from the motor home.  When he uses the office phone the caller ID is if he was at his real office in San Bernardino.

Pirates Ahoy

Our favorite babysitter of McKayla Weech watched the kids the day I had my mastectomy.  McKayla came over at the crack of dawn, energetic and ready to have a Pirate Treasure Hunt.  Sean and I couldn't have been more thrilled how they turned a worry some day for the kids into a fun filled adventure.

This is a pretty funny picture of Colbster but, I love the earring!  The treasure hunt was a success and everybody was happy!
