Kené Kupono




Finally! I have a picture of my cousin's baby! This is little Kené Kupono, the cutest little stinker on the planet! He is getting so big! He was born on July 30th. For those of you who don't know, he is Shane and Tiana's little boy, and he looks just like his daddy! Look at that smile!

And and winner is...NOT BYU!


Living in an overly populated BYU area, and having lame BYU loving family members, I have to relish in the fact that BYU lost. Ha! Kris and I are both U of U alum, Kris being a double alum because he went to S.J. Quinney Law School at the U. It was just hilarious to see our neighbor, driving around singing, "Rise and shout! The Cougars are out!" He played that on a sound system for hours until the game began. Insert foot in mouth now Chris Hansen. Go UTES!

Little kids, big helmets

(Jayden, Ava)


(Dylan, Grace, Jayden, Ava)
I found some pictures that I hadn't done anything yet that I just love. These are my two kids, along with my darling nieces, Grace and Ava. They are Brett, my older brother, and his wife Lisa's. These were taken at our family cabin. The top picture is just of Jayden and Ava, who seem to look more like sisters than cousins, according to most people, and same with Dylan and Grace.
**On a random note that has nothing to do with the photos, just with the helmets, a little boy in my neighborhood wasn't wearing a helmet and was in a severe scooter accident. He had a major concusion, some brain damage, memory loss, and is suffering from seizures. Please have your kids wear helmets, always!!


Sorry about the early Christmas countdown

Yes, I have posted a Christmas countdown. I know, I am an idiot. But, I have not started Christmas shopping, and I figure this is the best way to remind me to get with the program. It is starting to annoy me, and it has been about 30 seconds, that it doesn't match the page. But, I also refuse to change the page even one day before Thanksgiving, and that is if I change it at all. Thanksgiving is in a week! Seriously, is anyone even ready for this???

Mourning the loss of hair


Having a little girl, I had always hoped to have her have long beautiful hair. I took Jayden for a haircut last night, and the lady told me I had to get rid of her locks if I want it to grow. No more piggies or ponies. I am sad! So here is a pic from summer- IT WAS A DADDY DAY, but I will still miss doing the fun up dos! She was helping Dad mow the lawn, so she had her weed wacking goggles on!

Kenz at Homecoming


I am posting this for anyone who remembers my "little"sister. McKenzie is now a junior at Viewmont! They just had Homecoming, and she looked beautiful! Kenz, unlike my mom and I, is an itty bitty little thing, even with heels, she is a lot shorter than her date!

Halloween


Halloween was a success. Kids got more candy than they could eat, and wanted to keep going until way too late. Sleeping Beauty only lasted about 3 houses, then the wig came off. Oh well. She just kept saying, "I'm so pretty, right Mom?". We are just happy she learning to say Sleeping Beauty in time for Halloween. First she was telling everyone she was being "Stinky Booty" then it was "Seepy Booty"- either way, it wasn't good to tell each house who asked what she was.

Witch Party







Ok, so I am a blogging loser. I admit it. Mandy, if you read this, I will never live up to your 20+ posts a week. My camera cord has been missing for who knows how long, and I have just posted one post since I even started the blog. Maybe I will be better- likely not. Anyway, here are some pictures of the Gardner Village Witch Party we went to over UEA. Dylan and Jayden had a blast. Dylan thought he was the star of the show because all of the boys there wanted to be Iron Man. Jayden just danced around in her witch outfit. I just wanted to go to Archibald's, but there was a 2 hour wait- for lunch! At least the kids had a good time.
