Shelby's wedding

Court's youngest sister Shelby got married this weekend. Everything turned out so pretty and of course the bride looked beautiful. It was a fun weekend having all of the family around and being able to hang out.

The whole famiy

Court and his four sisters McKenzie, Brittany, Shelby and Hailey. The photographer made Hailey get really close and put her hand on his arm. We thought they made a really cute couple.

Everyone got a flower afterwards
Tatum and Reese looked so cute in their dresses.

Reese

We finally got Reese's 3 year old pictures taken and they turned out so cute (Thanks Melissa). It was hard to choose which one we liked best they were all so cute, but I think we found one. How did she get so cute!!!!

Chop Chop

Reese has wanted her hair cut short for a long time and I have been dragging my feet because it was just starting to get long. Well after catching her cutting a tiny piece of her hair because she wanted her hair like mine I decided that I better cut it before she really took a pair of scissors to it. It makes her look so grown up and she absolutely loves it. She was so excited to show her daddy and when he told her she looked beautiful I don't think I have ever seen her smile as big as she did. Most of her day yesterday was spent in front of the mirror checking herself out.

Funny sayings

Here's some funny things my kids have said lately!!!

Reese: "Mom if I drink lots of milk and drink it all gone than I will get a baby in my tummy."
Mom: "Really, is that how you get babies in your tummy?"

Driving home from work tonight and flipping through the radio stations because its too dark to find a CD and Tatum yells out "wait mom was that David Cook? Reese loves David Cook.
First of all I want to know who is teaching my children who David Cook is and why does she know the lyrics.

Happy Halloween!!

This year the girls went as cheerleaders. Tatum was a Packers cheerleader and Reese was a Bills cheerleader. They were funny because they started coming up with their own cheers one of Reese's happened to be "Girl #1, Girl #2 we're going to kick the poop right out of you" Awesome!!!

Go Bills!!!

Go Packers!!!


The afternoon of Halloween my cousin had a football game at the Holt Arena, and since the game was at 12:00 and trunk or treating was at 5:00 I let the girls wear their costumes to the game just in case we were running late. They even got to have their pictures taken with a couple of the North Fremont Cheerleaders. They were in heaven, Reese just sat and watched them the whole game.

Halloween Preview

Meet Deputy Travis Junior (Court) and Lt. Jim Dangle (Dave) of the Reno 911 Police Department. Yesterday was dress up day for Court's work and I would have to say I think these guys had the best costumes, they were hilarious. I don't know how much work got done, but I think they had a lot of fun.

Court, Jim, and Dave

I think Dave liked his costume a little too much.

Here a little video clip from Reno 911!!

First tooth

Tatum finally lost her first tooth last night. She was so excited to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy to come. I was more excited that the "tooth fairy" actually had cash on her so she didn't have to use a handful of pennies out of the girls' piggy banks. Whats funny is when Tatum woke up and saw the $5 the only think she said was doesn't the tooth fairy leave quarters. What I could have just left a couple of quarters and she would have been happy???? Now the tooth right next to it is loose so it wont be long before that one comes out too.

Happy Anniversary

8 Years Baby!!! (yesterday). It was such a busy day yesterday that I didn't get a chance to post anything. But happy anniversary anyway to a husband that is so good to me. He makes me feel like the most important person in the world and I can't express how much he means to me. I don't want to get too sappy but I Love You Babe and can't wait to share so many more good years with you.

Dress up

So I let my friend Amber borrow my girls' baby clothes when she had her little girl, and recently she gave back the ones that her baby had grown out of so keep in mind that a brand new baby just grew out of these clothes. Well our girls have not let me put them away since we got them back because they like to dress their dolls up in them and apparently themselves. I got home from work yesterday and this is what they were wearing. Court said they had been trying on all of them all day.

First Day of School

Tatum started school yesterday and loved every minute of it. We cant believe that she is old enough to go to school. I totally thought I was going to cry but I made it through just fine.

Leaving for school

Tatum and her best friend Brylee!

She was lucky enough to have a couple of kids from T-Ball and a bunch of kids from primary in her class including her "boyfriend" as if 5 year olds really have boyfriends. She was really excited to see so many that she knew, I was glad too that she already had friends and it wasn't going to be scary for her.

Hats

Here's a few pictures of the girls at the Army Surplus store just outside of Idaho Falls. They had a blast trying on all the hats and seeing all the cool military stuff. There were a lot more pictures but unfortunately they were too dark to post.

Look for this one on the next recruiting poster

Boating and Warm Springs

We took the girls out on the boat this weekend and they had a blast. We even caught a fish, well Court did and did I mention it was while he was rowing the boat. Now that's what you call a real fisherman. Here's a few pictures of the weekend.

The big catch

The girls took a turn rowing the boat and it turns out they are far better at it than me.


Warm Springs

You can't really see the fish but they were huge and loved the Cheetos that we feed them

The girls going for a swim in the river.

Happy Birthday Reesey

Happy Birthday Reese!

I cant believe she is already 3. I don't know why but I get really emotional when I think about how big she is getting. She was such a sweet little baby that you couldn't help but smile at when you saw her. And her personality now keeps us on our toes. She has always brought life to our family weather its by making us smile or wanting to pull our hair out. We love you so much and are so glad you are in our family.

The Big 3-0

Happy Birthday Court.

30 years old can you believe it? I keep teasing him that he is an old man now but I'm thinking I better keep my mouth shut because I am not too far off myself.

Thanks for being such a great husband and father to us. We love you and appreciate everything that you do for our family.

Every year I make a fun cake for the kid's birthdays so this year I thought I would do something fun for Courts and since he had to work today we decided to take it to him at work.

Its a rainbow trout in case you couldn't guess

He only got one BIG present this year, but I don't think he minded especially since he got to open it a little bit early.

Anyway Happy Birthday Sweet Cheeks, we love you!!!

Weddings

We had some friends of ours get married yesterday, and I don't think they could have asked for a hotter Best man or a cuter Flower girl. They both looked so good, I was very proud of both of them. The wedding was very nice too, the rain stopped just in time so it could be held outside. It was a very nice ceremony. And thankfully the dresses turned out good also (I made them). I'm glad I have such a great husband and kids who were very understanding of my 4am sewing adventure. :)

Tatum did so good. She got a little nervous toward the end and ran the rest of the way down the isle

T-Ball

Tatum started T-ball this week and has been loving it. She is starting to get the hang of it. Last game she totally took out a kid who was running the bases so she could get the ball. It's pretty fun to watch the games.

You cant let her see that you're taking a picture because she will stop what she is doing to pose.

First up to bat

Look at the concentration!


Run Tatum Run

Court made the annual trip to Wyoming to fish on the North Platte river. His friend Ryan came from Colorado and met him there. According to him it is well worth the 7 hour drive...
