Ed plus Jamie

So I was wondering if I made a mistake and should have married Ed?

And then I saw our kid and was like nope I'm good.


I still think you're pretty cute Eddie!

I love KSL.com classifieds! Seriously anything I list sells super super quick. I mean within minutes. So if you don't use the web site you need to. Utah people are crazy shoppers! We just sold our old car within minutes. This was me and Tyler's first car we bought together 7 years ago, so it was sad to see it go. Tear, tear. I am still mourning (why do we get so attached to things?) but I will be okay. Just remember if you need to sell anything or buy anything check out KSL.com. (No, my husband does not work for KSL, I just like the site.)

Boise 4th

First I river rafted for the first time. We thought we did enough research on the Payette Main river but it turned out crazier than we thought. We hit 5 level 3's! Good thing my Step-brother Nick was our guide because we would have for sure flipped without him. Now Drew can say he river rafted level 3's at 3 years old! The kids are thrill seekers so they loved it!

Then we headed to my Grandparents house/cabin in the mountains for the rest of the weekend. I wish I could just send my kids there for the whole summer. There is so much for them to do. My Grandparents deck view is amazing!

Our 4 generations! I love that my Grandma was a young mom, my Mom was a young mom and now I am a young mom. Then Olivia can enjoy her GG.

Where my Grandparents live they always have a really awesome firework show for how small the town is. We just love it there, no crowds to fight, front row seating and really great fireworks.







It's not everyday my Mom has all three of her kids together!

The icing on the cake was sparklers and making smores at midnight. Yum!



Oh and we can't leave out Alex, this was the drive home. Desperate times ask for desperate measures.

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!
