Libby is 4!

Our Libster turned 4. Such a fun age. I love, love, love 4! We like to drag out Birthday celebrations so we started on Saturday. It was a pretty awesome weekend! 
 Dinner at chickaflay
 nom nom nom nom nom!
 Birthday meltdown. What!? I have to wait my turn?! Also, Sara flashing. Why Sara? Why?
 Strike!
 Libby cheered up quickly!
 On Sunday we did cupcakes with the Ostermillers(my sista) Yum!




Birthday morning Minnie Mouse pancakes. Plus a shot of my Mothers Day flowers! Which was fabulous, bytheway! It was fun to celebrate it with my libbers!
 She slept in, so the girlies were already gone. She had a fun day playing with the boys though.
 When Anne got home we did presents. They loved "helping" her with them.
 In her super cute dress Gramma Hazel sent playing with the princess polly-pockets. She'll have to grow into the dress, but that's alright!
Oh my Libby, you are such a funny sweet girl!

Graduation At Last!

WE GRADUATED!!!
 Kellan's Parents, Grandparents and Bro
 Kellan and Mitch. They're not related at all.
 We didn't take the kids with us to the ceremony on Saturday so Sunday after church we ran up to the A and tried to grab a few pics with the kids. The light was terribly bright. Probably the worst time of day for  pictures, but it was our only chance since my parents needed to hit the road. They were still fun and I'm glad we have some pictures with the kids.

 Little Aggies



 My parents. They're pretty much amazing!
The T-Monster.
I know you're all dying to know what's next for us. I really wish we knew. Hopefully we'll be in Logan a bit longer while Kellan does the MSHR grad program. We'll find out soon if got in. Cross your fingers for us! Hopefully we'll find a bigger place to move to soon, since we're bursting out of this place and its doomed to be torn down eventually. Ah life! Out of the frying pan and into the fire!

Easterin'

For those of you not from Carbon or Emery county Easterin' is our yearly exodus out to the desert. 
 Truman's favorite was fixing things with Grandpa and climbing on rocks. This kid was in his element. Dirt, rocks, tools, fire, big dogs, horses. Right up his alley. I was sure he would kill himself falling off some of the rocks he climbed, but he was quite the mountain goat.

"Fid it Gummpa. I fid it." 

Miles was nonchalant and mellow as ever. He neither loved or hated as usual. 

Libby's favorite part was the new sunglasses she got. Here she is declaring "Style!" to all who would notice. While she managed to have plenty of fun she did not love the camping experience. Liberty Mai is well named after Gramma Mai who also is not a fan of camping. When we took her to use the potty in the trailer she took one look and said, "That is not a real potty." Yep. She's Gramma Mai's for sure.
 Anne and Sara were in heaven with fire, horses, rocks and plenty of kids their age to play with at last. Anne especially was quite the rodeo queen.



 Lunch with some of the cousins.
 The chariot. I think they had at least a dozen kids crammed on the back of this thing.

My favorite, the Jump. Gorgeous! No this is not the Wedge you south county folks.  
 Bird sibs and some Jensen cousins.


Hitting rocks with golf clubs. I think the bushes got hit more than the rocks...
 Shooting rocks. Awesome shot. Who needs clay pigeons or golf balls? Not us. 
 Sunday duds. Not the best picture. We were all pretty stylin' though. Unfortunately, when a certain two year old only eats sugar and doesn't sleep for 3 days he gets nasty.

 Speaking of style...
The bows are from Bowlicioius Bowtique you can find the link to her website on my sidebar. Sure you can make your own. If you don't want them to be nearly as cute or last half as long. Seriously, I have yet to find better quality, prices, or selection. As soon as we're done pouring our cash into Utah State I am buying three of everything. Thank you Rachel!
