Mike's Birthday, Family Visit, St George

Happy Birthday to Mikey!
(of course a month late)
We had family all coming out here a day after Mike's birthday, so I was stressed getting the house ready for everyone. So the day before Mike's birthday at 10:30pm Mike was so sweet to volunteer to go grocery shopping for me. It helped out so much. Then he came home with this...

A 55" Flatscreen. He walked in and said, "I don't get to go shopping late and by myself anymore." It ended up being a great birthday present for himself!:)

We still need more cute decorations on the walls downstairs, one day!

Mike's birthday cupcakes. He loved that the kids decorated them just for him:)

Fun time with family! Grandma and Grandpa Goodman, Morgan, Annie and boys, and Ty all came to play at our house! I'm so happy they did. It was fun to share our house with everyone and just chat and play.

The kids played outside a bunch.

Grandma, Grandpa and Annie just enjoying watching kids be crazy.

Baby Tragon, soon to not be the baby:)

Quoi playing in the middle of all the boys, and showering herself with rocks.

They all love their Grandma Susan.

We had a wonderful weekend with the family out here in Casper. We got to go to church together, eat some delicious Cafe Rio Pork, and play some games.We are so happy the kids get to know their cousins and get to play with them. They all did pretty well together.

Grandma and Grandpa took off super early Monday morning (Labor Day) with Morgan and Annie to head home. Ty left with our family later in the morning and we took off for ST GEORGE! It was a wonderful trip because more than half the trip I got to drive Ty's car (we dropped it off at Annie's) and Oh was I in heaven! No kids, stick shift and an audio book to listen to! I loved it! I was feeling pretty guilty when we were driving through "the sisters" before Evanston in stand still traffic when I saw Ty get out of his seat, pull the froggy potty out from the back of the van, and get little Quoi out to go potty! It was so hard to just watch, but what do you do!? Thanks so much Ty!:)

We had a blast down south! It was nice to relax and not be stressing about every single thing that comes daily. We got to spend a lot of time with Kash and Harlee and got to see baby Brittyn only a few hours old! Oh how I wanted a baby holding her! It was fun to get to play with Annie's family and all the boys, then Kim's family and all the girls:)

Sequoia and Harlee
These two girls! One minute so sweet to each other, the next minute hitting and yelling. Knowing both their personalities individually, it was fun to watch them go at it.

Kashlynn is such a big girl now and was very good for us.

Ty and Rachel are always so great with the kids. And the kids just love them! They taught them a new version of "Red Light, Green Light." Red-stop Green-go Yellow-slow Blue-GO CRAZY! And the kids would! They loved it.

New Baby Brittyn!

"Aaawwww...."

We got to go visit with Brandon and Lindsay while we were down there and see their beautiful baby girl, Halle!

She was starving, but I still had to get pictures! And baby's naturally just don't like me:)

We stayed the night at Annie's on the way to St George, then on the way back stopped and played so the kids could get some rest and Ty and Rachel could get their car. Thanks for feeding us Annie and letting us mess the house up. It was a good stop in between.

A children burrito.

On the way home. He loves books, what can I say?:)

This little monkey! On the way to St George (about a 12ish hr drive), she wore undies and went potty in the froggy the whole way there. After less than a week, on the way back she wore a diaper and did not ask to go potty once! I don't know what happened but she has decided she is just not into it. Big bummer.

Totally random. Mike found this disgusting/cool thing in our driveway one night and I just had to get a picture. Don't know exactly what it is?
