Quick Family fun weekend

This past weekend I got to go home for a couple of days. One of my younger brothers graduated, so I left my family home and went to spend time in Idaho. My loving husband was so kind to stay home and "party" with the kids. So I flew in on Thursday and came home on Sunday and party every possible minute. It was so fun to be with my family. All 9 kids got to go home and be together. We so know how to party and my poor parents were ready for all of us to go home after the weekend!! Oh she is going to loose it when we all come home for a week in July!! This was just a test run for the summer!! So here are some highlights of our fun weekend.

We went on a 4-wheeler ride up in the mountains. I hadn't been on a ride in forever. So I drove like a mom...yes I drove with caution and slowly. It was so beautiful up in the mountains. I forgot how great the mountains are at home.

This was right before graduation. I have the best family ever. I love that we finally got a good picture!! When we all get together we have so much fun and we are out of control. We know how to party that is for sure. We had a great night together at graduation.














This is after graduation. We are glad that its over and that He finally graduated!!! We are so proud of our brother. I was so glad that we all got to be there for this great occasion.




















It looks like this pictures is blurry but its not. Its snow!!! Yes I brought shorts and flip flops and it snows!!! So luckily my younger brother had clothes for me to borrow. I had to use their shoes and their jacket. Nothing like looking white trash when you go home, but luckily I didn't know very many people that saw me dressed like that!!
Thanks ma and pa for putting up with us and letting us keep you awake every night so late!! The first night I got there we stayed up until 3:30. As my brother was playing his trumpet I was really wishing that my parents wouldn't have let him take band when he was younger. Every night it was around 1 or later when we went to bed. So from our fun weekend I am totally beat!!
Hopefully I will recover before we go back up there in July. We're excited to go home for a couple of weeks. We always have way to much fun together!! Thanks family for the fun weekend and thanks Ty for taking care of the kids for me. You're all the best!!

Weekend full of fun!

This weekend we had Ty's parents in town. It was a lot of fun to see them. The kids loved playing with them. They came to see our oldest's dance performance. She did such a good job, even though it was so hot!! It was an outside performance. She looked 10 years older with her makeup and her uniform on. I was so proud of her. she was on beat just like we had worked on and tried so hard to remember everything that I worked on with her at home!! I do believe I will have a dancer in my family!!! Which yes I love....














Here is our beautiful dancer with her proud parents!!!




















After the performance there was bungie jumping and the girls wanted to do it. I thought our youngest would freak out but she loved it and wanted to do it two times!!! When did she get so big?! All of a sudden she is starting to be so brave.















This is her jump after her performance. She tried doing flips but could only get over one time!
















Since the grandparents had to leave us and go home.... ( if it was up to us and our kids they would stay with us forever, we love our families), we celebrated our youngest daughters b-day a little early. She was so excited to get a boise state cheerleading outfit! She loves her cheer skirt and does a cheer for my youngest brother Colt!! Go Colt!!! She wore it the rest of the night after she got it and then all today she wore it too!! She was kind enough to let her sister wear it for about 15 min!! That was about all she could handle!

Heres all of us after a fun weekend together. We went to the temple to walk around and see all the beautiful flowers. Our temple is surrounded by trees and more trees which makes it gorgeous. We had a great time with our parents and are so glad they came to see us. It was way to short and we can't wait to go and spend some time with them this summer!!!
