Still Alive...barely

I know it's been forever, I apologize. Things are going really really well, just incredibly busy! I am loving all of my classes and learning TONS, but it sure is keeping me BUSY! I can't believe how close I am to the end. I don't have much time but hopefully i'll be able to post again soon!

Oh yeah and a shout out to Elder Nuttall who is just incredible and we are so stinking proud of him! Now that i'm all teary...I know i'm pathetic...i've gotta run to class! Love you all and hope everything is going well!

And of course the birthday girl and her cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY cute girl we love you!

Taylei's First Birthday

We decided to get rid of our internet at home because we both have access to it at work, we hardly ever use it at home anyway, and it saves us a good chunk of money. Well, one downfall is my pictures are on the computer at home. ANYWAY, I went to put some of Taylei's party on my jump drive and I can't find it. So I have a bunch of really cute pictures of her fun birthday but for now it will just have to wait I guess.

Anyway, Happy 1st Birthday Taylei! We love you! And a shout out to Traci because everything looked awesome! Way to go, we love you guys!

Happy 4th of July

We had such a great 4th of July and got to spend lots of time with Kylie, Eric, and little Miss Hallie Mae! Again, I didn't take any pictures, but I'll steal some if I can :-). Friday Eric and I went to give our life juices for money but I was "indefinately denied" until I come off one of my meds. Either way Eric was nice enough to share his dough and me and Kylie just spent the day hanging out and playing. Chad was helping his dad with his High School Reunion Golf Tournament, but got to play with Eric and continued coaching him on his golf swing. We are all going to be pros soon!

Saturday evening we went to the Patterson's and played Volleyball and hung out at the park, had some yummy pizza, and of course watched fireworks. Hallie LOVED them it was so cute! It was tons of fun. Thanks Bob and Lori for having us over, and thanks to Eric for entertaining my husband! :-) Kylie and Hallie, you know I love you!! Hallie...keep working on blowing kisses, I love you little monster!

Happy Father's Day...a little late

I know it's late, but I couldn't go with out wishing a Happy Father's Day to all of the amazing fathers out there! Thanks for all you do, and we love you!!!!

Chad just loving being with one of our many adopted children! Love you Hallie!

Daddio with one of his 17 grandkids! Aren't they the cutest!? Love it!
Brent Parker and Kenzie...he's always spoiling the kids

Harrison, we love you too, I'm sorry I don't have any pictures on my work computer :-(

LEP Reunion

Since my family has become enormous, my mom decided to have the Lynn and Edy Pehrson (LEP) Reunion, with just our family. Jerry, Shelly, and their cute family were able to come, but unfortunately Lance, Lacie, and Hope couldn't make it. We all missed them and wished they could have been there with us!!

With 13 adults and 16 grandkids there was a lot going on all the time, and of course a constant air of craziness. I love it! Just a few of the activies that we had were...

Pool...the boys were pretty intense, and had to beat Jerry

Guitar Hero & the Wii

Bike Riding

Going to the Zoo

Playing with the fun twins!

Pictures, pictures, and more pictures!!!

Almost an entire family picture sporting our t-shirts that Karmel made! Way to go, they turned out amazing!!

The siblings

Sistas

Grandkids

Kassidy and Addelyn showing their crazy monkey skills. What they do to pass the time...

and this is what the adults do :-/

All the hard work of pictures deserve a popsicle

Thanks Kylie and Eric for coming out and taking pictures of our crazy family! You guys rock and we love you!!!

Singing Happy Birthday to Kyle...yeah, does anyone else see a problem?! Kyle wasn't even there!!!! So we all sang and Marcy recorded it :-)! We were going to just play it back for Kyle when he finally showed up, but mom made us do it all over again! Darn, it would have been so awesome!

It was so fun to have you guys here! Thanks for playing with us and we love you all!!! See you soon!

A Tribute to Michael...

Now I know he turned into a psycho and whatever, but I'm going to miss him! His incredible talent cannot be denied! I have always wanted to see him in concert, but I guess I never will. :-( To the King of Pop...you will be missed!!!

The Pehrson Clan

This past week we have been able to spend time with my brother and his cute family. We haven't seen them in almost 3 years and it was so great to spend time with them. It's always bitter sweet because you know at some point they have to leave but it has been so wonderful having them here! This was the first time most of the family had met Tyler and Kylee. They are almost 8 months old and SOO stinking cute and way too much fun! Shayla and Dallan have grown up so much I can hardly believe it. I never knew Kassidy and Addelyn very well because they were away when they were born, but we all love them and they are way too fun! What a great family, they are all so wonderful!!

I pulled out my camera numerous times to take pictures to share and of course I had taken the memory card out and keep forgetting to put it back in. :-/ This means that I actually don't have any pictures, but I will be sure to steal them from everyone and share what I can find because they are all SO cute!

When we left my parents Sunday night I was getting hugs from everyone because I wasn't sure if I would see them again before they left. When I told Shayla that, she looked at me and simply replied, "Of course you'll see me, we'll be back in three years!" and she ran off to play. :-) What a cute girl. We have had so much fun with you guys and if we don't see you before you head out...love you, and see you in three years!

P.S. Shelly, I don't know how you do it, but keep up the good work you ROCK!!!
