I was just sitting here at my real computer (not my fake one, it's to hard to blog from) and I thought I would update this bad boy. Well I don't know if update is the right word but I'll put a couple pictures up and call it good. These are some pictures we took over the summer. We went up to Kolob with Joni, Codee, Eric, and Karen. Codee's parents were kind enough to host all of us crazies for a day.</div>

We had so much fun! There is nothing better than being in the wilderness with kids. Kim and Dee had put together this awesome slip n slide for the camp this year and we got to try it out! It was faster and (supposed to be) cleaner if you wore a trash bag so we got a family picture in our trash bags. </div>

In our trash bag glory. Somehow Karen kept that white tank top clean the whole time?? These are some great memories! We had a campfire with foil dinners and smores after too. We are so lucky to be surrounded by great family every where we go! (Even if some of them are 4 hours away, that is still surrounded.)</div>

My poor little kiddos don't usually get to play after school sports because I am in after school school. Since I took the semester off we decided to let them ech pick a sport. Chloe and Carter picked soccerand Cooperpicked baseball, much to Billy's delight! I coached Chloe's team and Billy helped coach Coopers team. </div>

Her friends mom was putting together a little dance and asked Chloe to be in it. She loved it! It was so cute, they danced to the Lion King song, half were birds and half were lions, Chloe was a lion. <br />

There's my baby eagle!! The last few weeks are all one big blur but somewhere in there we went to the kids dance festival for school. I think it is the cutest thing ever and I think all schools should do it! Each grade level learns a dance together and dang, it's cute! </div>

Chloe's grade performed to a song called Baby Eagle. I dont know where it came form and we tried to google it and the only thing we found was another Kindergarden class performing it?? This was my favorite part, they were pointing at their eyes saying something but I dont remember what!</div>

Obviously the 4th graders are way to cool to be baby eagles so they learned a dance to Thriller!! It was so funny! Carter really wanted a full zombie costume but he only gave about 10 minutes warning that they could dress up and I'm good, but not that good. Luckily a class mate had some fake blood for him!</div>

and one more of the baby eagle!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching the kids perform in any way! I missed an assembly that Chloe did while I was in NYC (which was a really awesome trip and someday I'm going to post therest of the pictures) and I was so sad. They generally make me cry, I don't know why. I just love my kids, they are all amazing and lots of fun!</div>

We always like to party hard over spring break! This year was no exception. We are so lucky to live by so much family, the kids are seriously spoiled with cousin time over the summer. When they have to go back to school they start having withdrawls so we try to make up for it over spring break. We do pretty good over Christmas break too but the weather's just not as nice as spring break, which was PERFECT this year by the way! This is just a small sampling of some of this years activities. </div>

We went for a bike ride. It seems simple but a lot of work went into this! Joni is the only one with a truck but we live way out in nowhere and there aren't any bike trails near us that we can ride to. Anyway, it took a lot of planning but we pulled it off, drove to the bike trail, rode to a park, played and ate lunch, then rode back! </div>

On to the next activity, we played night games with everyone. We took it way more serious then everyone else. Billy told us to make this sign, I hope it doesn't mean anything. We played a little kick the can and fugitive. These games are not for sissys either, I was exhausted.</div>

There were lots of other unpictured activities going on but I am pretty proud of getting this many! We had lots of sleep overs, trips to the parks, late night runs to get nachos and soda, and just plain hang out time! </div>

I have been wanting them forever and finally pulled the trigger. I know it's dumb but it seriously stresses me out, finding an outfit for myself is enough of a challenge but then to throw the rest of them in the mix, whew. However we did, thankfully Joni was willing to not only help me shop but also get the kids dressed so we were only a little bit late! <br />

There you have them. There were a few more but I dont feel it's necessary to share pictures of just Billy and I with anyone!

I am NOT great at this. Sadly, I dont even take pictures anymore. I took 0 pictures at Christmas, how lame. Anywho, here's a little samping of what was on my camera. For about a year now the boys have really been wanting me to make them a cake that they can smash their face into. I cant remember why we didn't do it for their birthday but we didn't. They finally got the chance last month when they each made a cake for the cub scout blue and gold.</div>

I thought this was Carter and I am now realizing it is Campbell.<br />
Next is another little adventure we had. These pictures are all horrible ( my camera takes blurry pictures indoors and great pictures outdoors if anyone can tell me why I would appreciate it) Ok, this was one of my many birthday celebrations this year. Seriously, it lasted like a full week. For some reason we thought it would be fun to go to lunch with 7 kids. Thats why I love these pictures because they are not quality but they tell the truth<br />

Anywho, gotta love crazy Joni, she keeps it real! I wish I would have kept the notes from the time before, they were from Joni to the dogs.

The pinata. I bought it and recovered it to match the theme. I just counted 16 pictures but I am pretty sure that one of the twins missed out on a picture somehow (Sophie, however, was pictured 3 times while hitting the pinata, I wonder who had the camera???) so there were 17 kids hitting that thing! We started with Claire and went through all the kids there then finally let Jason hit it open!</div><br />

The presents! We got Claie that cute little chair she is sitting in an she was so cute in it! She sat there and opened every present and really looked so interested in everything she got.

I have really never seen a baby go at a cake like this girl did. It just got more and more funny the more she ate. I had to keep stopping her to clear a little airway for her to breathe, her nostrils were plugged up with cake.</div><br />

We finally ended it and rinsed her in the sink before taking a full on bath. Even while we were rinsing her she was rying to lick cake off her hands. Cutest thing ever. We all stood around laughing at her and she didn't even care, as long as the cake didn't go away.</div><br />

This will be a mostly pictures post. It's pretty self explanitory. We met up with some family at 25 main to have cupcakes for Claires birfday. It was good times and Claire did an awesome job with her cupcake. I fed her at first then I handed it to her and she stayed surprisingly clean. Turns out she loves cake and frosting and didn't want to waste any of it!</div><br />

I am a little less confident as I write this post, I have a horrible memory and I am just not certain what things happened on what days anymore. I have a basic idea but theres a good chance I will get something wrong! That being said,I'm pretty sure this was our first ride on the subway! We were super excited to ride the subway and might have made fools of ourselves trying to figure it out. We were headed to battery park to catch the staten island ferry and we survived! </div><br />

Well I guess I am here typing too so thats pretty good proof. This is the ferry station,I made that up, I don't know if it has a real name. The date was 11-11-11 and our boat left at 11am and someone (not Karen) was freaking out about our safety. <br />

We ventured outside on the ferry for a very short time because as you can see it was seriously windy. Like it made me think of home kind of windy. Everyone else had a hood to wear but I only had a scarf so Joni fashioned me an awesome hood out of my scarf! Thank you Joni!</div><br />

This picture is one of my favs. Not only because I am not in it but because right before we took it we were talking about the strange urine oder we could smell then right after we took it we realized there was a homeless guy right behind us and could have very easily been standing in his bathroom.</div><br />

Cute tree lined streets. I have to write about our horrible ride to the theatre. I couldn't find any pictures of it because I think we were all to scared for our lives to get a camera out. We hadn't yet rode in a cab and we had no way of knowing how much it wouold have cost us to get there in a cab. (but now I know it probably would have been 8-10 dollars split four ways) This "driver/thief" pulls up and tells us we will never get a cab and he will take us for 40 bucks. Holy Moly, I guess you have to get ripped off at least once in NYC. Believe it or not, that was not even the worst part, this guys driving was HORRIBLE. Scary and sicky. I was on the verge of barfing the entire way there. Then to end it on a high note this guy drops us off like 4 blocks from the theatre. SO after that experience we stuck with yellow cabs the rest of the trip! </div><br />

Im going to try and see how many pictures I can post of Joni eating. We went to roxys or roxies after wicked for a late dinner and CHEESCAKE! The food was so so and the cheesecake was cheesecake but we sensed that there was something more out there so we continued to look.. We walked back to the hotel and were amazed at all the stores that were open until 2-3 am. It was so awesome, I wish St. George was more like that! Oh well, at least we have walmart. I remember looking for a head wrap/ scarf or anything to keep my ears warm pretty much everyday but never actually buying one. Stay tuned for more, I will try to make it in less than 2 months this time :) </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div>The Blackwellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297910666767909840noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332387838468916624.post-52162688340553764332012-01-14T18:29:00.000-08:002012-01-14T18:29:53.249-08:00Family<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg38TXOH97S282WhoBrUUVPi9twExcAORB8XIgOqE9Jvcu09DIDNwDX1pDHFK2HDuE87K7UavwuQ1Oi8cejVGK5WdncJMlT2XWA6iChqJ7HwcG0FXYQG5-kHOfbjNxKqUH7Xuan3epY2-Y/s1600/+CISNEROS+FAMILY+PHOTOS-3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg38TXOH97S282WhoBrUUVPi9twExcAORB8XIgOqE9Jvcu09DIDNwDX1pDHFK2HDuE87K7UavwuQ1Oi8cejVGK5WdncJMlT2XWA6iChqJ7HwcG0FXYQG5-kHOfbjNxKqUH7Xuan3epY2-Y/s400/+CISNEROS+FAMILY+PHOTOS-3.jpg" /></a> </div><br />

I have New York day 2 post loaded and ready to go but I wanted to post about my family real quick. I am so thankful to have so much wonderful family all around me. The top picture is all the cousins on my side and the bottom is billys side. I just counted and there are 18 kids in both, I never realized that before. I am just feeling so blessed and so happy that my children have all these people in their lives that love and care about them. Thats it, I just love all these sweet kids and all their moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas!!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div>The Blackwellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297910666767909840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332387838468916624.post-22700703001725768642012-01-12T10:30:00.000-08:002012-01-12T10:30:13.509-08:00Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><br />

(WARNING: THERE WILL BE AN EXCESSIVE USE OF EXCLAMATION POINTS IN THIS POST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)<br />
<br />
I can finally say I LOVE NY and mean it!! We had so much fun on our little trip to NYC. I didn't really want to do these in a slide show but I dont know how to get the pictures off of shutterfly onto my computer. (anyone know how?) SO I will do it like this and write the comments here all together :-) We did A LOT of stuff and took a lot of pictures so I decided the best way would be to do 4 seperate posts of the 4 days we were gone. Really we were gone 5 days but we didn't take pictures of each other being majorly sick on the way home from the horrible turbulence on the flight. Who wants pictures of the end of a vacation anyway?<br />
<br />
1. Karen waiting to catch our flight to Maryland, where we had a little layover. We had to be to the airport at 4:30 in the morning, waaaaay to early but so worth it! We couldn't sleep anyway we were so excited!<br />
<br />
2. My memory fails me on this one, big surprise. I think this is when we were having a little lunch waiting for our flight into NYC!!! One thing I am sure of, this is definitely Joni and Karen!<br />
<br />
3. Unfortunately, mom was on a different flight than us but being the wonderful daughters that we are we waited in the airport for her so we could all ride in together. I even made her a little sign with her last name on it while we waited! It seemed like we were there for 9 hours but I'm sure it wasn't really that long. Anywho, once she got there we went to get a cab, hello massive line! So we called a driver, it was only ten bucks more but we did have to wait 30 more minutes for him to get there. Maybe we could have got a cab by then but who cares, WE WERE IN NYC!!!<br />
<br />
4. oh, oopsie, this ones actually out of order. We hide to ride a bus around the airport to get to the terminal mom was coming in on so we took a picture of it. It wasn't really all that exciting but it was our first bus in New York! Oh my goodness, I just realized that is not what this picture is. Pretend you never saw this one.<br />
<br />
5. Here is our first meal in New York. I really can't remember what time it was, it felt really late though. I would guess 9:00 at night, luckily we weren't in St. George or everything would have been closed down by then. We had some good stirfry and a warm bottle of soda. While we were eating someone had the brillant idea that we should have a peice of cheesecake everywhere we ate so we could say which one was our favorite. Wesent Joni up to buy it and we let the guy talk us into trying something called napolean or something like that. Dissappointment. We didn't let that happen again.<br />
<br />
6. After we ate we headed down to Times Square (or Time Square if you're Codee). I must confess that when we first walked out of our hotel we did head the wrong way for a couple of blocks, not bad, it only took us a couple of blocks to figure out. As soon as we could see all the lights we decided to take a picture. It was raining a little but we did not even care! <br />
<br />
7. A nice gentlemen came and offered to take a picture of all four of us. We busted a guy getting in the back of our picture and had a good laugh with him and the photographer. Im still not sure if they were in on it together, it was a little unclear!<br />
<br />
8. Close up! Remember the rain, thats why our hair looks a little flat!<br />
<br />
9-12. We went into this awesome store there called aeropastle. Just kidding, I know we have those in SG but we were looking for headbands and hats, we were unprepaired that night! It did have a kid section and ours doesn't so there! Anyway, we were a little tired and excited and took these pictures of each other. Karens is totally my favorite! <br />
<br />
13. The picture says it all! <br />
<br />
14. The whopper bar, we took this one for Trevor but I'm pretty sure he doesn't read my blog so whatevs.<br />
<br />
15. Here I am exhausted in our cute, cute, cute hotel room. No I am not pregnant so you dont need to ask. The room was small and the bathroom was tiny but look at that adorable wall behind me. Not that the hotel matters much, we were so tired everynight we could have probably just slept out on the street. It continued to rain harder and harder that night and considering we had a twenty minute walk back to the hotel, we were pretty wet and freezing when we got back but once again, WHO CARES, WE WERE IN NEW YORK CITY!!!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
Let me just add a few extra comments that dont have a picture to go with them. This trip has been a long time coming! I still cant believe we pulled it off. I guessI actually do have a picture of Joni jumping in the air right after we bought our tickets back in July.. I think we all shared the same feelings. Then we had to wait a little while to save up some more funds and get our hotel. Mom bought her tickets and we had a little meeting at her house one sunday night to pick the hotel. SO FUN! Soon after we bought our wicked tickets and our rockette tickets. Then we had one last formal planning meeting, we all went out to dinner and made plans while we ate cupcakes at sweet toothfairy. We went to the bookstore and bought maps and tried to make plans. There might have been a few clothes shopping trips mixed in there somewhere. Anyway I honestly almost cried on several occasions because I was so exited and I really couldn't believe that I was going to be in NYC!!! These little episodes just got closer and closer the closer the trip got or the closer the plane got! I remember the feeling I had in picture 6 when we first recognized Times square. It was that excitment that makes you feel like your throat has closed off and you almost cant breathe! It was unbelieveable and I hope I can go there soon with Billy and share all the fun with him. I am so thankful that I was able to go and especially with some of my favorite people in the whole world!!<br />

These are some seriously random pictures. I havn't been a good blogger lately so I had to get a few of these up that I don't want to miss. I dont think I posted this picture of Chloe and Cam yet but I'm not really sure. It was Campbells first day of preschool. I mostly wanted to post it to help me remember how close in size and looks these two are. It's like having another set of twins! They are also such good friends! It is so cute, they really miss each other when one is gone. They play so good together and I love how close they are. I think it would be fun if they were closer in school but I am not ready for Cam to be in Kindergarten next year so it's ok i guess!</div><br />

Here is our crew on Halloween night. (I just noticed that only half of Chloe made it in the shot) There was a whole mess of kids there and I wouoldn't have it any other way.</div><br />

We have been going to this really cute neighborhood to trick or treat for the past few years and it is awesome! It is a cute neighborhood anyway with big trees lining the streets and little white fences but they are all decorated for halloween too! One house is always playing loud halloween music and someone usually has a haunted house and there are tons of kids, which I love. This year they had a HEADLESS HORSEMAN!!!!!! It was so awesome, the kids loved it but not as much as I did! <br />

The weekend before halloween we had a visit from Dylan! Aaron and Abbi were here too but I didn't get any pictures of them! Its hard to tell by their size but Dylan is actually the younger cousin!

I am a horrible blogger. I know. I have a lot of catching up to do but I had to skip ahead and say Happy Birthday to my little happy buddy! He gladly reused the ninja turtle costume this year. He was a pretty cute ninja turtle too! It's hard to compete with a 16 month old little girl being a ninja turtle but he held his own!</div><br />

I LOVE that Cams birthday is on halloween however, it does cause a few problems. I don't feel right about doing a pinata or treat bags and really even cake is to much! This year he wanted pumpkin pie so we went for it, it worked out pretty good,</div><br />

Birthday morning! Billy thought it would be funny to put his big boy bike on the table and it was, he loved it. We took him for breakfast at McDonalds with his cute friend Mollie, I never take the kids in to play so he loved that. The best part was that Billy took the day off so he got to be with his best buddy all day!<br />
<br />
Some stuff about Campbell at 4. <br />
He is so funny, like adult funny.<br />
He talks to EVERYONE, the walmart greeters LOVE him!<br />
He squeals, alot. When Billy gets home he squeals Da-dy, he squeals for Claire and he just squeals for no reason.<br />
He rides his bike with no training wheels like he's been doing it for years. He learned on the tiny bike and was awesome on it. I was hesitant to get him a bigger one then 2 days before his birthday I ran over the tiny one so it made the decision pretty easy.<br />
He loves charleston chews and wants Billy to bring him some everyday.<br />
He goes to preschool and really loves it.<br />
He sleeps on bear bear (a fake bear skin thing) and uses his cozy everynight. (a halloween blanket he got last year from gramma loni)<br />
He still loves to get in bed with me and Billy in the middle of the night and he moves around like crazy. He is pretty stubborn in his sleep too, I push him away from me and he instantly moves back to where he was.<br />
He has a great imagination and plays more make believe type games than any of my other kids.<br />
He loves to block you in the closet or whereever and make you guess the password (usually kitty or waddles waddles waddles).<br />
He really wants the baby alive doll that drinks a sippy cup and goes poo.(?)<br />
He is really into firecops, I'm not sure if he knows it's actually two seperate things but either way he loves them.<br />
My most favorite, he gives me a big hug EVERY morning when he gets out of bed!! Chloe told me one time he didn't want to get out of bed because he didn't want to give me a hug but I dont believe it.<br />
I know there are tons more things, I'll add them when I think of them.<br />
I love these sweet little boy with all my heart, he makes me laugh and smile everyday. He is a genuinely happy kid and I love that about him! </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div>The Blackwellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297910666767909840noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332387838468916624.post-60724189715213395592011-10-23T15:45:00.000-07:002011-10-23T15:45:24.755-07:00Oh Sophie, you little cutie.<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHH9wmb0NmiJzHhP7lypDbiGjVYHS_OuBYQNT5gshdjCp_IfnGA3Myou1AvNb77z8doBTrE2ZknyBIqPHWG3bVBsJtLLxggX1H9kEYdrxGl7alLDy6-0RZgxZXLExFyMa9GFUTew4yiNc/s1600/DSCN2131.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHH9wmb0NmiJzHhP7lypDbiGjVYHS_OuBYQNT5gshdjCp_IfnGA3Myou1AvNb77z8doBTrE2ZknyBIqPHWG3bVBsJtLLxggX1H9kEYdrxGl7alLDy6-0RZgxZXLExFyMa9GFUTew4yiNc/s400/DSCN2131.JPG" /></a><br />

I love this little girl, she is hilarious. I have been trying to capture her little "say cheese" face for a week or so now and this weekend provided a great opportunity! We had Sophie and Jackson for a double sleepover. It was fun for all. We were stranded at home bceause we cant fit all these kids in our car so we played outside alot. Soph and Campbell go along surprisingly well, bonus. Anyway, what a ham, I love it!!</div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div>The Blackwellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297910666767909840noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1332387838468916624.post-3686703691882488372011-08-28T15:45:00.000-07:002011-08-28T15:45:24.776-07:00Kindergarten here I come!<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL17Ix9mnZ1WXDsyzhGWQVDseOau6bTQ87rVFCHLFT4MNnxnWsyyDVbMINgu1LqwHCOqV5Md73fHwYgfprH-UzbbiGCzpad4xgW8rNEU6jKEuiUv0OKgHbMfyNrqt9lhT5SCpx-NDybEs/s1600/DSCN1928.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL17Ix9mnZ1WXDsyzhGWQVDseOau6bTQ87rVFCHLFT4MNnxnWsyyDVbMINgu1LqwHCOqV5Md73fHwYgfprH-UzbbiGCzpad4xgW8rNEU6jKEuiUv0OKgHbMfyNrqt9lhT5SCpx-NDybEs/s400/DSCN1928.JPG" /></a>
<br />Chloe on her first day of real school. I want to point out that she picked out about 4 new outfits that are all this same style, long shirt or dress with leggings. She was also attracted to glitter, sequins, peace signs, butterflys and sparkles. She looks like such a big girl in her school clothes</div>

Chloe really wanted to ride the bus home so I let her. I tried to get her picture coming off the bus but it didn't work out. She is only supposed to be on the bus for about 10 minutes but that first day they forgot to send a bus to pick up the kindergarteners so she was about 20 minutes late. I knew there would be some confusion the first day so I wasn't to worried. The second day of school something went really wrong and she was on the bus for 1.5 hours. Holy canoli, her face was bright red when she finally did get home. Poor girl, we took the next day off of riding the bus but by Thursday she was begging to ride again so I agreed. Thursday and Friday were much better, she was home within 10 minutes!

<br />The first day of school is hectic enough without trying to add pictures into the mix so we went with second day of school pics this year. If you want to get technical is was like a week before school for Chloe. This was the morning of her kindergarten assesment so she was up and ready in her new school clothes. Campbell might have been standing to the left of these guys thinking he was in the picture but I cut him out because I really wanted one of just the kids going to school, does that make me a bad mom?</div>

<br />Here is Carter,all ready to go. He and Cooper have different teachers for the first time this year. They seem to be fine with it, it's kind of a pain for me having two different SEP's and different homework but I think it will be really good for both of them.</div>

<br />Here's Cooper looking all big. I wish I had done pics the first day because they wore these really funny koolaid shirts, I will have to get them the next time they wear those. In case there was any doubt, that is not coffee in Coopers cup, I promise. They found these cups from last winter and started drinking water out of them. This also explains the water all down the front of his shirt,well the next picture does. </div>

<br />Chloe Grace, so cute and excited. She at least had the sense to hide her cup, she knew it would take away from her cuteness. I love my kiddos so much and I miss them when they are gone. I drop them off in the mornings and feel a little sad that they are old enough to be at school. Not sad enough to try homeschool or anything, just enough sad to make me feel like I am a good mom because I do miss them when they are gone.</div>

<br />Here they are, my big 9 year olds! This was the morning of their birthday, it was the week before school started and they were really used to sleeping in. I had to wake them up early for a cub scouts field trip to the national guard armory, thats why they look a little sleepy. A few days before their birthday I took them to pick out some heeleys for thier present, it was one of the best presents we have ever bought them, they LOVE them and they are getting exercise while they play! On this morning I made them a blueberry pancake breakfast at Coopers request. Then on Saturday Billy and Codee took them, Campbell, Jackson, Spencer, Owen, and Jacoby to play lasertag! I guess we kind of spread it out over the whole week for them this year but they enjoyed it!</div>

That's right I said MEGA SLEEPOVER! All the children (and 2 extra adults) seen here had a big ol' sleepover at my house last week. It was so fun, I LOVE that my kids have so many cousins on both sides of the family it makes for lots of partying. There were 17 of us total and if you have been in my house you know it doesn't really accomodate that many people, it barely accomodates the 7 that actually live here! Another thing that doesn't accomodate 17 people is mine and Jonis vehicles but we made it work.</div><br />

They were here for 2 weeks and we made the most out of every second of it! We had all the kids over at Matt and Shenelles the night they got here to surprise them and we didn't leave there until about 1 in the morning. That was pretty much how the next two weeks went, staying up way to late then meeting up again the next day way to early! I think most of the kids are still trying to catch up:-)<br />

Joni, Karen and I tried really hard to have every day packed with things to do so we didn't go crazy this summer. This particular day we took the kids to Springdale for a picnic lunch and some ice cream. Jackson was with his grandparents so Joni and Karen each had 1 child with them and I looked like the crazy lady with 5! I guess the truth is I am the crazy lady with 5-haha! Luckily I have awesome sisters (like sister sisters- not sister wives) who help me out however they can; chasing someone, holding someones hand across the street, wiping someones face, you get the idea. </div><br />

Heres Carter Sophia and Chloe cooling off with some fro-yo. Carter and Sophie have been little buddies lately and its pretty cute! I think it all started at the gym daycare, he thought she was really funny and she liked all the attention so they really hit it off! Cooper has been trying to form a similar relationship with Carson but its still a work in progress.</div><br />

I got her one of the these fruit thingys and she seemed to really enjoy this frozen peach. The week after I bought this we were in Marysvale for the 24th for 4 days, when I came home I found this thing hidden in the box of ramen noodles with a moldy banana in it. I threw it away and have yet to buy her a new one, but I will someday.<br />

I might have lied when I said the parade was the best part because after the games they had FISH RODEO!! We were a little late but the kids still got in on a little fish catching. I am not a big fan of fish in any form, in a bowl, in the ocean, on my plate but especially not in my childrens bare hands! It was a struggle for me but I put a smile on my face and let them have their fun!<br />

Joni and I threw a killer Fourth of July party this year, just ask anyone who was there, it was awesome. (We really missed you Karen but it was still awesome and next time you should take us to Puerto Rico with you) We made super fun invitations that looked like firecrackers (3D). Once you opened them there was an invitation in there and some little pop its (we call them poo poos, I don't know who started that but that is what they are in my family) for the kids. I didn't take pictures of them but I think Joni still has one at her house if anyone wants to see it.<br />

She had been asking for a while but I really thought she was going to chicken out. She was so brave though, she didn't cry at all! She had a puppy that she used to squeeze when she got her 5 year old shots and she meant to take it with her but we forgot it. Luckily they had a little teddy bear for her to hold at Claires (she thought it was pretty awesome that they named the store after her sister) She picked the cutest little hello kitty earrings and unfortunately has lost one of them already. I am bummed, I really liked them and they were a little pricey for an earring. They weren't supposed to be replaced for 6 weeks but we don't really like to follow rules anyway.</div></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigljJym4C4eNOgWeHFcoaLFHQiSAeJufhdb-MaZa8o1IEwTxsXjgWuKANa5QMeGAvzDW6Nl7ot3hgbufAPVODiVuFih-e8VqoQuaZRT5Qm1IreBb7HUWSpKK4MB1Vlk5Ci72-sBsh-fCM/s1600/DSCN1623.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigljJym4C4eNOgWeHFcoaLFHQiSAeJufhdb-MaZa8o1IEwTxsXjgWuKANa5QMeGAvzDW6Nl7ot3hgbufAPVODiVuFih-e8VqoQuaZRT5Qm1IreBb7HUWSpKK4MB1Vlk5Ci72-sBsh-fCM/s400/DSCN1623.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">The boys were super excited to be in a jewelry store! At one point they asked to go to the bathroom so I explained where it was and I was pretty sure they could find it in our teeny tiny (totally lame) mall. They came running back in the store a few minutes later and I asked them if they made it to the bathroom but Carter said, "No we couldn't find it so we bought some candy." Funny funny boys, the candy machine is practically right in front of the bathrooms. Campbell was not with us on this trip, he was spending some much needed (by both of us, probably one more than the other) time at Grandma and Grandpas house! We missed him lots while he was gone and skyped with him every night. One night while we were talking on skype Chloe asked Grandma if she could be next to stay the night and that maybe she could use skype while she was there and Campbell said, "then I can get my ears pierced!" So be waiting for those pictures coming soon!</div>The Blackwellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13297910666767909840noreply@blogger.com0
