Anyway, so I got some siblings to go in on it and together we came up with 60 socks for his bday made into a sock cake! haha He loved it! It was so fun to make! Happy Birthday to my dad! I love him!

FUN! Until next year! Love that my mom does this for the kids! They absolutely love it and all the work that goes into it! Fun switching it up to a breakfast too!

Hunting and sick!

 This boy has waited patiently for 8 yrs to go hunting!!! He was seriously soooo stoked! But apparently he was sick the whole time :( poor boy! He still loved it and had fun. He finally told me all about it today once he felt better! I just love him.

 Saying bye to Peyt and dad!

 Drew got to have a sleepover with beckham! Our first friend sleepover!!! SOOO fun! They were so cute. I think we will do it again for sure.

 This little girl wanted to wear this sweatshirt hah! She could not stay awake during the day this week. Poor her and Drew were so sick! So no sleep at night and being sick. She fell asleep anywhere!

So cute! Love her. This week was so rough, I admit it. I had a hard time with my patience, but really couldn't be more grateful for my kids!

Welcome Home Taylor!!!

 Yay Elder Smith! We were so excited!!! Waiting, waiting, waiting!!!

 This just brought me to tears! All I could think is how excited he was to see us all, but how hard it was not seeing his mom there. So many more mixed emotions. I just love this boy! He is so awesome. I can't imagine being in his shoes.

 After he came down the escalator he went straight to his dad. I loved it.

 First hugs back! Peyt!

 Drew!

 and Miss Kinlee!

 These kids were SO excited to have their Uncle home!!!

 adn so are we!!!

 They went and attacked him for more hugs. It was so cute, Drew said "I just felt like I wanted to keep hugging Taylor all day!"

 The first thing Tay wanted to do was go to his moms grave. She doesn't have a head stone yet, hopefully soon. but it was neat to see the love between our family and the strength of support while there.

 I thought this was the cutest.

These cousins love getting together!

Couple Randoms YO!

 Tysons great Nike sign...haha

 Drew as a zombie! Peyt and him dressed him up as a Lagoon zombie! haha nice!

Cute Kinlee fell asleep by tys! My hubs is hot!

As random as it gets!

 Returned Peyts football equipment. He says hes not excited it's over but is glad he doesn't have to go anymore. haha Until next year!

 These two are THE cutest together! He would call her his princess and they went shopping and all! I was loving it!

 He is obsessed with this! ha Good at it too!

 Late night hot chocolate and brownies cuz after laying in bed for an hour he still couldn't fall asleep. Sounds like his mama lately!

 Mustache day at school! He wanted a beard too! This boy has his own sense of style. Loves his hair "flat and to the side mom" Dont' know where he gets it but I love it!

 Her choice of outfit for the day!

 Another hair do we have done a few times now! Hard to tell but it's so cute! Especially when you take it out!

 and I noticed, like mother like daughter, Our gray hoodies and black bottoms! haha We are the same!

 Love this boy and his spunky personality! Not just a pic but a peace sign too!

 I had everyone come in my room to help with laundry. Turned more into a dance party! It was so fun and so cute to watch all three of them with complete different dance moves!!!

 While tys just enjoyed the couch! How could he resist the awesome music and dancing?! The rest of us could not! haha

and This was so cute cuz Kinlee couldn't stop smiling about her happy meal! Didn't know thats all it takes to make her day! Thanks Grandma Debbie!!!

Carston is off!

 I'm so behind! But Carston headed out on his mission! We can't believe it already came and went. He is in the field! It's so weird not having him around! But we are blessed to have Taylor home this week and can't wait for that either!!

The kids miss him so much already.  Kinlee keeps saying "Carston on his mission, he come back to my house" So cute! Love Carston and hope these 2 years FLY!!!
