What fun we had making our holiday cupcakes. We actually made the cake part red, white, and blue with the thanks of the internet. The kids loved decorating of course!
What would a visit to Chris and Angie's be without a lot of pool time. We had so much fun! Thank you so much Chris and Angie!
Grandma Shelley got to come home for a visit at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We just grabbed a quick pic of the amazing women who keep this family together. : )
What little girl doesn't love to play in the rain. Or have a pillow fight, but my friend Mandy has those pics...oops. We have had a lot of rain lately and the girls LOVE to play in it. Both of them came in sopping wet. If it weren't for Jax I just might have joined them. Maybe next time. : )
What kind of performance would it have been without an audience? Jax sat and watched them the entire time, wishing and waiting for his chance to get big and splash all over his sister's.
Here is one photo. All the other ones showed cottage or butt and nobody wants to see that! : ) Good news is I finished. HOORAY!
Here is the stud muffin of the year! Look at that manly wheely he's struttin' up the hill. You know you're all turned on right now.
Can't you just hear the rearrrrrr in the background. Feel the power!
Can't you just tell by looking that Ryan is by far the best rider out there. ??? You can go ahead and judge these books by their covers. : )
Believe it or not, this is a SMALL portion of the people in our house that day. We basically had one day for everyone to see Tori and Ozzy so we ended up with a cozy 41 people total over for dinner that day. It was worth it though because I got the best and easiest home made from scratch Texas sheet cake recipe. Yahoo!
One of our favorite things to do with the cousins is to go across the street and jump on the trampoline. Added bonus...Grandpa Greg to bounce us all so high we almost pee our pants!
With all the madness and chaos, thank goodness for Grandma Nancy to keep things calm for little Jax. Talk about one over-stimulated baby.
In case you haven't noticed in other blogs, Madi loves to perform. She invited me in and this is that amazingly high note in "Oh Happy Day" from the Sister Act 2 soundtrack. One of Madi's favorite songs. What fun we have!
My sister Lyndee and I decided to surprise my mom for mother's day. We had dinner at Melissa's and the kids entertained themselves on the trampoline with the sprinkler. Beware...what they did next for entertainment is a little scary!
...They decided that it would be so fun to make super models out of me and Aunt Lyndee. Madi did make-up, Rylee did hair and McKenna was in charge of nails and accessories. I don't know that I have ever felt more beautiful!
Wa-la! If this doesn't make the cover of Cosmo then that is just messed up. Watch out Tyra Banks... Lyndee and I are about to take the beauty industry by storm! : )
The girls got their faces painted the day before. McKenna has a cute butterfly, and Madi is supposed to look like a bunny, but more like a freaky clown to me. Oh well, she loved it and that is all that matters. : )
You are probably wondering what my girls are sitting under. That would be the shade umbrella they have been begging me to buy from Costco for the last month and a half. Believe it or not, this was their most favorite thing they got for easter. Clothes were a close second, but the candy didn't stand a chance. We loved the picture Grandma Shelley and Papa Steve sent us so they could "be" with us on Easter. Oh how we miss them!
Easter just isn't easter without an easter egg hunt.
What better way to enjoy easter brunch on a blistery warm 65 degree day than in the shade of our most fabulous polka dot umbrella. 
Thank you Grandma Shelley and Papa Steve for our oh-so-sweet easter clothes. Everything fits perfect!
They all wore swimsuits for the dancing section of their performances. There was also a little play and some singing as well. What better entertainment could a Friday night ask for?
SCHS Eshelles, eat your hearts out! What would you give to have you pirouette pose look this amazing! ; )
Believe it or not, McKenna is the mom and the super heroes are her daughters. Don't ask me what they were thinking... I have no clue. But they sure are cute!
I think we can thank Sophie for the fine costume designs. I have to say that the scarf for a belt on McKenna was a fabulous touch.
Here is Madi at her finest! Posed, Poofy and positively Pink!
What little girl doesn't love to make a jungle gym out of their grandpa? Watch out Jax... if they go down they are going to land on you!
This is Grandpa Greg over one night just working on bringing out Jax's biggest smiles!
How is it possible that they are all ready so much alike and Jax is only 3 months old in this picture?!
After time with my fam we headed out to Ivins to hang with the Matthews. This photo was taken just after our nice walk/bike ride with the kids. What a bunch of cuties!
Jax of course did this to himself in his sleep. I feel like all he needs is a house on his head and some black boots and he could be the next witch in The Wizard of Oz. : )
Does it get any cuter?! Gracie and Jaxon playing together for the first time. Gracie is 6 months and Jax is 3.
After the race I took the kids on an "adventure" where they climbed this GIANT hill. Gotta love all those silly faces!
Of course Madi and Kenna have to see Rylee as soon as we get to St George. This is our tri in training junior style. The girls raced and Kaden was the ref ; )
Me and my beautiful baby boy.
Here is our little shining star for the weekend. I know he is so handsome... but don't tell Jax I had way more fun shopping for the girls' blessing dresses. ; )
Here is the fam just before we head over to the church.
We know we can count on Aunt Tara to start the weekend off with big smiles. The girls didn't let her out of sight all weekend!
