THIRD Time the Charm

***Her show-n-tell is in her backpack, a notebook folder full of all of her coloring pages she did this summer.

Time to Hide the Garbage Can

This little garbage picker found a piece of chocolate cake, FIVE minutes before leaving for church... STINKER!

Aaarrrgggh! Pirates

Thanks Becky for the fun night of laughing and eating treats at The Pirates of Penzance!

We Celebrated

We celebrated SEVEN years of marriage at Market Street Grill on Saturday night. Along with a walk around Snowbird, since we were too late for the tram ride up to the top of the mountain!

(thanks Nana & Papa for watching the kids)

Taylor A.

I used to be this cute girls nanny for four years before having my own kids, along with her then SEVEN, now EIGHT siblings! I'm glad she could spend the week with us and catch up on funny times.

I've been trying to convince her to go to BYU and live with us, instead of school on the other side of the country... since my kids adore her!

We love you Tay

Three Year Pictures

The little rascal made me work for EVERY picture

(I owe him an M&M everyday until he's EIGHT!)

(he worked hard for this one)

He had enough and started running home!

Happy Birthday Chan-Chan

Chandler knows his birthday is August 6th. However, he didn't know that August 6th came and went without any celebration (due to his mother being away at girls camp.) We told him his birthday was today, August 9th, which is actually our 7th year wedding Anniversary!

So... Happy Birthday Chandler & Happy Anniversary Steve!

Breakfast birthday wishes

Buzz, one of his new favorite presents!

Chandler helped with his birthday cake by licking the bowl & beaters.

He chose pizza for his birthday, so we dinned at The Pizza Factory.

We celebrated even more at Kangaroo Zoo...

"to infinity and beyond!"

"that was so awesome!"

Family Picture

Loving his Buzz cake.

We LOVE you Wild-Man Chan... Happy THIRD Birthday!
