One day I woke up and decided to be real nice. Livi had been begging for Isaac to come over and Leah was having a "need to work day" so we went over and picked him up after breakfast. (Up to 3 children at this point) A couple hours later Amy dropped off the girls. It was her bday and I had told her I would watch the girls for a couple of hours so she could dine in peace. (Up to 5 children, All 3 and under I might add). Leah came just in time for lunch and added one more child. (Up to 6 children now). Let's just say I will never be having 6 children. It was fun for a couple of hours. After that, I was glad to be back to just my two.

The lunch bunch. Looks pretty calm surprisingly.



Sweet Simone could have sat at the table all day long just munching on her food and never making a peep.



She was truly the sweetest EVER!



This after every meal?? No thanks..

Props to people with millions of kids.
Now for the choas......

Leah...you know how much this makes me laugh. Put him in voice lessons STAT.

These pictures were taken the same night. I went in to check on them before bed and could not believe they were both blanket faces. Two peas in a pod.

I can't even tell you what this picture does for me. A real smile...finally. I think we are finally rid of her special ed smile.

In 4 short hours...yes, I really should be sleeping, I'll be on my way to Seattle. With kids you ask? Oh no..Mike is Mr. Mom for the weekend. I seriously couldn't ask for a better husband/father. He is "excited" and I know the kids are going to have a great time. The only things I worry about are Livi's hair and them getting enough fruits/veggies. I can't wait to see the twins and the rest of the fam. Loves to Mike for making it all possible and surprising me with all this for my bday!

A shakin chicken bum, skinny chicken legs and that cheesy grin. Doesn't get much better than that for me....

Ethan CRUISES in high heels. It's kind of scary, especially to his dad.

We went in the other night to check on Livi and this is what we found. After I took a few pictures it dropped onto her face. I can't believe they sleep through this stuff...

I can't tell you how many times a day I find him like this is his room, just quietly playing. Lately it is up in his rocking chair with a stack of books. He is a sweet little guy.

We headed down to St. George for my birthday/Labor day. It was SO hot!! Thank goodness for this new park just minutes from Grandma's house. The kids could have spent all day there. Mike and I were spoiled with a night on our own. We headed to the Hilton Garden Inn and slept like babies in our pitch black, silent room. It was heaven. Thanks to Mike's family for watching the kids!!

P.S. Of course Leah took these...were you really even wondering??

Ok, that was pretty lame. But seriously...to all my loyal readers..... I'm back!!!! Mike has fixed my photoshop and I am ready to post.
