Family pics!

So I got my pics back yesterday and they are SO cute!! It's hard for me to choose favorites, but here goes!

All pics were taken by Nicholette Adams www.nicholettedawnphotography.com @ the American Fork, Utah Ampitheatre.

Panda Fu and laundry....

So... today I spent a lot of time doing laundry and cleaning. I needed a good distraction for the boys... thank goodness for Red Box and Kung Fu Panda -aka- Panda Fu. Dom loved it and I got some stuff done... here is a little video of Dom talking about his Panda Fu.

Dom recorded another similar video... I was trying to get him to hold still but it didn't work... Panda Fu is just too mobile for him to not move and still show us what he does! :o) Of course Colton is just hanging out in the background. He's been rolling over lately but getting it on video is pretty tricky. If I ever get it I promise I'll share it. :o)

New Kids on the Block

So... the girls got together and went to see NKOTB for Vicki's 30Th birthday! It was a lot of fun to go out together and it was also fun to hear stuff from the good ol' days! Seriously.. we are talking about an arena full of women ages 20-35. It was WILD!!! I thought I was going to lose my voice. Opening acts were Lady GAGA and Natasha Beddingfield. I did know ONE of Natasha Beddingfields songs but for the most part I was baffled! Anyway... here are some pics from our adventure.

Angela, Whitney, Cristina, Vicki, Karilynn, Jessica!

I know I look retarded but Ange looks cute! :o)
Cristina thinks she looks super fly in this pic! ;o)
Cristina trying to be a tease? ;o)
Jess... was not so big on pics... but I had to post some of her... does she looks super excited... or too pregnant to be too excited?
Little blurry but so cute!

NKOTB!!!
They came down to a different stage that was a lot closer.. unfortunately this was the last pic I got before my battery died! I was so bugged. I even had my camera bag in the car with extra batteries!!! UGH!!!!

And here is a little video for your entertainment... it was fun to watch them dance... nevermind the screaming in the background!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy ViCkI!!!!!!

In the words of the New Kids!!!
Happy birthday to you.
This is your day.
On this day for you,
we're gonna love you in every way.
This is your day, your day!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you.
You're still young.
Age is just a number,
don't you stop having fun!
This is your day, your day!
Happy birthday to you! :o)

Dad's precious grass!!

So this is not the best pic but.... for those of you who know how my dad feels about his grass... I took a few pics like this! My dad is constantly complaining about his grass... he sometimes gets mad when people park on the grass on the side of his house, which may as well be concrete... but tonight, my dad came home to no parking and HE parked my moms car right on the front lawn. NEXT TIME WE HEAR YOU COMPLAINING I'M BUSTING OUT THESE PICS DAD!!! :o)

Happy Birthday Cristina!

It's my lil' sis' 23rd birthday! I can't believe how quickly they grow up. ;) I remember when she was a tinie tiny baby and I would cary her around like a doll. Now I could probably still carry her around but.... it just wouldn't be the same!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy CrIsTiNa!!!

Hope this year RoCkS for you!

Mindy Lynn

Yesterday morning one of my dearest friends called me and asked me to go to my computer because she was sending me something. This isn't like a super common thing but she called me the other day and told me she was going to start e-mailing me cause she gets bored at work. So I hop on the comp.. check my email and NOTHING!! WTH? She tells me she is sending it and VOILA mail from Mindy... All I see is a thumbnail of a little pic! I open it up and....

(Miller is her last name! ;o) ) So holy cow I think I started crying. Mindy is going to be 29 next month and has no children. She has been married for a little over a year to an amazing guy... Mr. Jack Miller. She has wanted children for years but for whatever reason... has never got those 2 pink lines on a single test. (She was married previously for 3 or 4 years.) Jack and Mindy have been talking about this moment for years as well.. they've been together for 3! She is super intelligent and a perfect candidate for my childbirth obsessive nature. She has been talking to me about birth for years and now, finally.... she is going to be a mommy! All day yesterday I would laugh out loud at random things and when Darin asked "what" I would just say... Mindy is going to be a mommy!!! or My baby is having a baby! :o) I am SOOO excited for her.

Anyway... she took the cute little pic above (err the one with the prego test) and printed it. Then put it in 3 frames. She is mailing one to her in-laws (who currently have no grandchildren and live in Pennsylvania) and brought the other 2 over to her parents wrapped complete with bows last night. Her parents have wanted grandchildren for so long... they've even taken on a little girl (who's dad used to date Mindy's sister) and have spoiled her rotten since she was 3 or 4 (we are talking a good 6 or 7 years at this point!). So she hands her parents these little gifts last night and tells them to open them. Her mom cries and laughs at the same time and her dad gets teary eyed but says basically nothing. (PERFECT!!) She talks to me about how unbelievable it is and how impossible it is to think about anything else. I agree since it's hard for me to think of anything else at this point too! SO CONGRATS TO MINDY LYNN & JACK and to NANCY & PAUL who are finally going to meet the little someone they've been waiting for all their lives!! LOVE YOU ALL!!

This is just a little addition Mindy and Me in High school with a couple of friends... can you believe my waste fit through a childs floaty tube?

First Snow!

Jaydin had his Green Stripe test yesterday and my mom was kind enough to get some video for me. (Darin was working and it is impossible to take Dominic into that place. He jumps down and starts punching while yelling his "KIOPS!" Here are some tidbits from the big test! :o)

Jaydin is the 2nd from the left (smallest and best) if you can't tell! :o)

Breaking the board can be tricky if you aren't in the right position! :o)
