Viva Hot Mamma's

This past weekend was spent in lovely HOT Vegas. Me and my 5 closest childhood friends reunited there to reconnect with one another and let's face it, just be away from our real lives! It was a great mini vaca because there was a lot of EATING, a lot of TALKING and a whole lot of SHOPPING!!! Some of these girls I have been friends with almost 20 years! I truly believe your friends shape who you are and I was so blessed to have the best ones out there. I could be in a totally different situation if it wasn't for their influence. Thanks girls, for the weekend and for the friendship over the last decade!

You're Wrong!

At least everyday of my life someone says Alex looks just like his brother. I am always like yep.....whatever. Here's all the kids at 9 months... What do you think?



If you ask me, I think he looks more like his long lost brother Chucky...........

Happy Father's Day Dude

You are such a great Dad, Tyler. Need I say more? Thanks for the leis Suau, Fua and Pearl (our babysitters/adopted daughters). Drew and Olivia made Tyler some frames for his new big office. It was actually a very relaxing day, Happy Father's Day to all the Daddy-O's!

Hee Hee Hee

Olivia thought it was funny at first. Hee Hee Hee. I love it when I can laugh at the dumb things my kids do. She had already pulled off the other one and it didn't feel so good. Such a nerd.

SeVeN bIg OnEs!

Yesterday Tyler and I celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary!!! 7 years and 3 kids later.....we've been busy to say the least. Here's the young, grey hair and wrinkle free Tyler and Jamie.

And now we definitely have our hands full. Here's to 7 years of marriage, and who knows maybe 7 more kids too???

Yeah for Tyler!!!

Tyler was promoted last week! He has been working for Utah Business Magazine for a couple of years now as the Advertising Director. He has done absolutely amazing things as the Director, even in a recession. So this was well deserved. He is now the PUBLISHER of Utah Business Magazine. I can't believe it. And really what that means is that he is the boss man now. Congratulations Tyler we are all so proud of you, you are so good at what you do!

This is the day we found out and we had the annual Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards Ceremony that evening. This is by far my favorite event of the year. This is our third year attending and it's so fun to see the great entrepreneurs of Utah. Utah is a wonderful wonderful place for businesses. As the new Publisher, Tyler had to even present an award. Ooh so scary! He said he couldn't even read the prompter because he's so tall so he had to totally wing it, even then he did a great job!

Alex is 9 Months!

Alex turned 9 months yesterday!
Accomplishments: Crawling, pulling self up, 8 teeth (6 in one month), feeding himself little snacks, and holding his own bottle!
Annoyances: Not taking long naps, always wants mom, can't sit still for one second.
Stats: 21 lbs 3 ounces 65%, 29.5 inches 90%, head 47.5cm 95%.





Um you think this kid needs a haircut? For some odd reason his Dad won't let me.


I always like to compare Alex to what Olivia and Drew were at 9 months:
Olivia- 20 lbs 15.5 ounces, 29.5 inches, head 45cm.
Drew- 19 lbs 5 ounces, 28.5 inches, head 47cm.
Alex- 21 lbs 3 ounces, 29.5 inches, head 47.5cm.
They are all so close!

Uncle Eric

We only get to see my brother twice maybe three times a year. So when he does come to visit it's a treat for the kids. They don't leave the poor guy alone. They love him so much and "Uncle Awesome" is so good with them. Even Alex wanted Uncle Awesome, it doesn't show that in the picture though!

Happy Mother's Day to Me

Tyler got me a weekend away in Park City for Mother's day. So last weekend we were able to go all by ourselves! Oh how I love my kids, but oh how I love to be away from them too. It was a great weekend. Park City is an amazing place and I feel so lucky to be so close. Tyler received his first Pedi with me and we also had a couple's massage. The weekend was all about me so I got to pick where I wanted to eat or what I wanted to do or not do. So when Tyler asked "Wouldn't it be so fun to go golfing together, you could drive the cart?" No Tyler that wouldn't be so fun to me, but nice try. We got pedi's instead! We also did the Alpine Coaster and Slide. Oh and we hit the outlets of course, with no complaining from him. It was so rejuvenating and I feel ready to continue with the day to day Mom stuff now. Thanks Tyler for the great weekend away! And thank you Kim for watching the boys and Liza for watching Liv.

Finally kid, finally.

Well Alex has finally learned to crawl. After what seams like over a month of almost crawling he has figured it out. Bitter sweet for sure, he can now entertain himself better by getting into things, but now I won't be able to contain the little guy. I wanted to spare you from the home video but here's a couple of pictures. Yeah Alex!
