The Whole Dam-Fam

I started thinking that I post a lot of pictures of my own kids but haven't yet done many of my whole family. I seriously have the best family in the whole world. We always have a good time when we get together. This picture above was taken two Christmases ago. We're all there except for Wade.
Since Wade isn't in any recent pictures here's one from his mission. If you know Wade you will find this picture hilarious. And he just got home today which seemed to take forever to happen. I'm so happy that he's back!

This good looking pair is my parents. I've been told many times through out my life that I look just like my dad and I'm very proud of that. They're the best and have set such good examples to me as parents and what a good marriage should be.
This foxy lady is my Grandma Gregory. I was so lucky to grow up so close to her and my grandpa. I always wanted to spend time with my grandma and I was her little shadow. They are both strong people and genuine and good.
This is my Grandma and Grandpa Hirschi. They are some of the most amazing people I know. My grandma is such the caretaker and is always trying to get you to eat or always making sure that you're comfortable in the chair you're sitting in and is so willing to do anything to help someone. My grandpa is just the rock of our family and after all these years he still can do an amazing Tarzan call.
There are so many other people that make up my family. I was so fortunate to grow up so close to most of my family. I have many aunts, uncles, and cousins that have helped me through out my life and provided many life long memories. These families are the Hansens for all the grandma sleepovers, the Trapps for teaching me how to ride, the Bucks for all the Genellies moments, the Val Hirschi family and the babysitting nights (I can't believe your parents trusted me) and girl talks, the Reids and the precious times we get to spend with you when you visit, the Smiths for building your house and being able to have all the families live there and create memories and the Christensens for being there for me and helping me out in times of need. I wonder how I've been so lucky with the amazing family that I have. I love you guys!

Random Stuff

I just thought its about time that I post some new pictures to show off my kids. I can't help but think they are the most darling things in the world.
One day when I got back from the gym (Daniel had been watching the kids) I discovered Jayla in her laundry basket. It's now her new favorite hiding spot.

Daniel had let Blake feed himself some whipped cream. This was the end result.


We're trying to get the potty training thing going so I bought her a little potty (the thing in the lower right hand corner) a while ago and she never wanted to sit on it. We were at the store and she saw a Spiderman toilet cushion and had to have it to go potty. Hey, whatever works. She hasn't actually done anything yet. She just likes to sit on it. If she sees this picture when she's older she's so going to kill me but I think it's so cute.
