Can you guess what Makayla's favorite fetish is??? She LOVES anything cheetah (leopard) print. As you can tell she is all decked out in her favorite attire for school this morning. From her head....
You know that saying "BFF" or "Best Friends for Life"? Well, I can definitely say that's the truth when it comes to me and Jeanne. We have known each other for a very long time....like since we were 3 and 4. She has been more than my best friend, but a sister that I never had. We have lots of fun memories and still talk to each other many times a week. Either by phone or email since she is now in Idaho. No matter how far apart we've moved (or been moved) away from each other nothing has stopped us from talking or being close. Whether it was from across the room in 6th grade or across the world when she was in Italy. Anyway, I was going through some old photo's and found this one of us taken during our Senior year in High School. This one's for you, Bug!
I just have to say that I LOVE my mom's family! My cousin got married this weekend and his last name happens to be "Love"...what a fun last name for a wedding, huh?! Anyway, it was so good to see my mom's side of the family since I hardly get to anymore. We have lots of fun when we're together. Anyway, he married a girl that lives right up by us on Pendelton and her name is Dazholi (Love, now) but what a pretty name! Funny thing is we ran into Lindsay and her mom Lori while we were there. Small world. Anyway, here are some pics of my family!
One of my favorite Aunts and her family! The Malmborg's
With my Aunts and Uncles!
My own cute little family with my Uncle's wife, Raquel!
My favorite cuz, Malissa....she's got beautiful blue eyes with that dark hair and skin....absolutely gorgeous!!!
Hunter loves dressing up as his favorite superheroes. He wanted to play with Talon's blowup Superman top so we got it on him and turned on the fan. Funny thing was as he played, the fan, which hooks to the back of his pants, was really heavy and started to pull his pants down! In this picture it looks like his legs are about a foot long...all chest and no legs, kind of like some of the cartoon drawings you see of Superheroes!!! (not that he has long legs as it is!!!)
Oh the funny ways and places kids will sleep! We went in to check on the kids the other night before we went to bed and this is how Makayla was sleeping! She had her blanket wrapped and tied around her head and was sound asleep! In the morning we asked her what she was doing and she said, "It's my sleeping mask!"...haha
I walked into my bedroom one afternoon and found Hunter out cold on the headboard of my bed. That thing is so hard but hey, he looks comfy!
We were in the car coming home from a busy day and when we turned around this is what we saw. Only you can't tell in the picture but Talon's eyes were open just enough you could see his pupils...it was pretty darn scary looking!!!
Okay...Just to back track a little bit. We had some birthdays these last couple of months. Makayla turned 9 on the 6th of Sept. Chet checked her out of school and took her to McD's for lunch. She thought that was just so great. She is such a girlie girl and Chet just laughed the whole time at how cute her little giggles and wiggles were. Makayla is also so dramatic (what girl isn't right?) Every present she opened you would've thought was a million bucks because of the way her chin would drop to floor and the huge gasp she'd let out. Pretty funny stuff. She is so easy to please because she is so happy with everything! She had a birthday party later that night with her Aunt Shareen since they share the same bday. I swear she came to the wrong family and that she should've been shareens instead b/c they are so alike! Glad she didn't though, and that she's ours!!!
Kylee turned 16....umm, I mean 12 on Aug. 9th. She just acts like she's 16! Dang hormones!!! Anyway, she is in YW now and making us feel SOO old. The Beehives came at 6:30am and took her to breakfast. Then she and I made a day of it and went shopping and to Red Lobster for lunch. She got a new bike (without a basket! Since her last one was too "little girlish") and lots of fun things. A couple of weeks later we surprised her with a sleepover birthday party with her friends. It was Hanna Montana themed and they had a Karaoke contest and played Guitar Hero among making a mess of the house and keeping the neighbors up! Whew, so glad that thing is over with!!!
It's been a rough week. My favorite (and only) Grandpa passed away on the 6th. Not only, was it Makayla's bday it was the day after my mom died exactly 20 years ago. Beings that it is her father that passed away I feel that it was only fitting that he go so close to the anniversary of her death. I have so many wonderful memories of him and I will miss him so much. I had the opportunity to speak at the funeral and share some of those fun memories. Here are some of my favorite pics of the two of us!
Okay, so my sister in law, who lives in California, and I decided to join the crowd and start blogging. Hooray for us...it's about time, eh? We decided it was a good way to check up on each other's families and keep each other up to date on what's up. Once I figure this thing out I will add more!
