It ALwaYs GoEs by TOO faSt.... : (

My sister Erin and her family were here for a visit, which seemed too quick! I love the time we got to spend with them and always hate when the day comes for them to get back on the plane...but at least we made some fun memories, that's what it's all about, right?!?! :)
I guess this is continued from the last post...we also had a Rock Band night along with our dance lessons...haha
Cute little cousins!
A yummy lunch with aunts, cousins, sisters, mom(Bruce) and Grandparents...love the tradition! and thanks to my mother in law who watched the boys so I could enjoy some good chatting :)

My cute Grandparents! Love them!
Oh, just sharin' our drink at the movies...some slushy that was yummy!
Us girls after seeing Blindside...fun GNO!
Our attempts at getting a "jumping" picture...thanks mom...I think they are hilarious to look at!

Jill thought the sign was cool...but we made it even BETTER! hahaha

A late night at our moms...after some great food and laughing...it was finally time to call it a night!
Lucky for me...my sis gave me an excuse to go out for some relaxing shoppin'
Us siblings with Grandma and Gramps...NICE posin' Nate
and then to add Mom!!! It was a fun night...learned a little more about how to take care of 5 kids...IF you make it to that many and how to at least TRY becoming the wonderful Grandparents that we have!
Drawing up something great!
Another ending of a late night! and you still haven't told me which Super Hero you are?!?! ha
This IS us... :) Yes, we are DoRky!
Our last little visit with cousins!

Drew would rather be comfy watching his movie in Grandmas room!
Our last bit of fun before the Browns headed out to catch their flight...

YES, I may just be obsessed with capturing ALMOST every hang out with them...but that's what I love...to have a picture to remember a great memory...Love you guys and will miss you right till the day we see you again! Hopefully it won't be too long... :)

Because it's time for some sort of an update...! : )

Just a few fun pics...
This may just be at least my boys favorite thing to do! Making a bed to watch a movie and have popcorn...the simple life of kiddos! :)
AND lucky to have our sister here for a little bit...it seems like we just never quite get enough time with her and her family, but we'll take what we get!!
Fun family pictures! The last ones we had with this side of the fam were over 6 years ago, it was about time :)

My sisters
They wanted to make a house...where they'd have a door, so I thought this might be the easiest...throwing a mattress in the doorway! haha...they loved it!
Peyton LOVES cute little Alexis! He kept telling me how cute she was, and how cute her bow, hair and clothes were...maybe ONE day he will get to have a little sister, but let's not hold our breath.
Girl time...gang sign idea by Darci...I can't take credit for the awesome pose idea! haha

Well...nothing too exciting!! Holidays are over so now we are makin' excuses for our own fun! Because life is too short to not at least try enjoying every minute you have with friends and family.

HaPPY NeW YeaR...and then SOME...!

Well, the "and then SOME" actually comes first...while my family is still sleeping from our 2nd late night entertainment, of course, I am awake and can't sleep in...thank heavens for blogging or else what would I do!?!? haha...Here it goes-

Our neighbors, The Bellistons are sadly moving far far away so we had them put together a list and invited all of their friends to come spend one last night of fun with them before Trent left the next day. We had so much fun and are going to miss not just our neighbors, but our good friends...hope they come back to visit soon!
Misty and I testing the camera while setting up the fun! : )
HaPPY BiRthDay to Mikelle and Jamie, they share the same special day!
The first or maybe second group Rockin' it at Band Hero...thanks to my brother Nate for his projecter and screen to play on!!
I like this one Jamie... :)


"Ry from the ward" always ready for a perfect pose...ha ha While Misty always has a great smile!

Jared was teaching them "The Jerk" and then broke out some amazing dance skills! I was impressed!
They WERE all dancing...but looks like I just got you Darci going to town in this one :)
AND MOST of Trent and Mikelles friends...this was at the end, so sorry to those that had already left and missed the pic.
My other great brother...thanks for his DJ'ing music equipment...it wouldn't have been near as much fun without it!
and the after games...trying to keep the ball from touching the ground...
Some of the girls and some great friends!
Mikelle....what happened??? hahaha...can't stop laughing at these, there are like 5 more, it was hard to choose which ones to put on here!!!
Thanks for the posing advice men...the pic turned out FAB!!! If I didn't know better, I MIGHT just think this is a Volleyball team picutre! haha
The guys saying goodbye to Trent! We hope he arrives safely!!
OH, the night didn't end there! Our great friends invited us over to punch...lets see what would have been OVER 1,000 holes and string through them too...all for the Stake New Years Eve dance, I hope the kids loved their dance cards...it made for a lovely after 1 AM fun and here is the finished product!!
and on to NEW YEARS EVE FUN....!!!!!!! A interesting dinner at Red Robin, maybe we SHOULD have BBQ'd instead :)
Misty and I decided on our store run we better enjoy an energy drink to keep us going for the supposive all nighter...
Cute Lexi!
Happy New Year!!....The kids..oh and it looks like Ryan enjoyed banging the pots to bring in 2010 too
Awww...isn't that sweet! :)

We had a fun last few days! The boys even got to enjoy a sleepover at Grandmas and go see the new Chipmunk movie, and they loved that too! Thanks mom! Thanks to all of our friends for some good entertainment at Bellistons party and to our continued fun with our great Burton friends for New Years Eve! Here's to wishing you a "Happy 10!!!" Ha Ha
