July 14

church clothes!!!

poop face

4th of July,  went to the parade in denton, then to the free kids fest

I told the lady to put the batman symbol over his eyes and she had no idea what i was talking about,   i literally tried to grab the paint brush out of her hand so that i could just do it but she wouldnt let go of it...... im like..." like batman,  you know,  a bat symbol..... like batman.....  i really cant explain it better"   and that is what he got...  but he thought it was awesome so thats all that matters.

my boys at church

this is what  july looked like mostly though,   lots of cuddling with the babies

and lounging by the pool

 the boys will talk to anyone about minecraft that will listen,  we go to the pool to get away from the game and they end up talkin to the hott babe about the game.... ugh go swim!!! lol

im addicted to sniffing baby heads...... the smell is amazing

there was an insane rain storm that flooded the pool and shut it down for a month and a half.......  worst ever

we went to the museum in the mddle of the square in denton it was about railroads and it was awesome

at the candy store across the street

the boys went on missions :)

Ember and I ate a lot of cookies and cookie dough and brownies (bauwnies)

and i got really fat and didnt lose any weight at all  :)

June 14

First pic of all four of my kiddos :) well one of em...... i believe we tried this for a few days in a row and they were all horrible :)

Dax sleeps in a bassinett next to our bed.  or in our bed if im too tired to stay awake to feed him (much to the dismay of my hubby who is convinced i will roll over on top of the baby or suffocate him with my boob......  i guess i take chances)

This is the boys excited after daddy texted us that he officially got the new job offer!   it was amazing so we took a pic of our excitement to send to him 

Then we headed to Iowa to bless baby Dax. its an 11 hour drive north for us (more like 14)  and an 8 hour drive west for Nicks parents so they agreed to meet us there so everyone could be there!

Grandpa Bill with Daxon

My kids loved getting to know and hanging with Uncle Chris, we love those guys :)

Dax got to meet Grandma Granzow too!

Grandma O usually gets us a bounce house when we visit,  cuz shes amazing,  and we love it :)

went shopping with the girls!!!  and this little Diva got spoiled big time!

Blessing Day!!!!

I am so grateful for all of these amazing men and the power of the priesthood in my family..... I truly love the gospel and the church and having the opportunity to have all these guys here for this special day for us

See!!!  they are my favorite people!
