Fun, Fun, and more Fun By: James :)

It all started at Brian Regan...

Russ and Cyndi excited as usual... Russ sneaken a leg grab....Whoot!

Darci showing off her new face (after having the mumps). Darin showing off his new face...

Jared and me chillen waiting for the show to start. Wondering why we don't have any treats to shove in our faces. They didn't have any treats at the show...huge over site we all agreed. I think we should all write in and tell them just how we feel.

----JACK JOHNSON----

Same Week different Show...Yeah...we like to party!

Darin and Darci back to play with us. Ok so we bought our tickets for both of these shows like 4 months ago so we could get seats for the show. Darin and Darci used their mind powers to trick other people out of their tickets the same day... or

They got them from their alien friend that showed up next to us on his flying saucer.

Me and Anne team drinking...we should have stopped at our first $3.50 bottle of water.

BFF...no need to say anything elseRuss and Cyndi totally Stoned!

"I promise, I never exhaled, I mean inhaled or shoot I don't remember...lets get some nachos"

Cyra Grace with her new friend... She played and played with it until it's wings fell off. I think if Cyra believed in reincarnation she would want to come back as a butterfly. Cyra, again working on her modeling career... She is a natural. I did want to call her Cyra Banks :) I knew it from the beginning. Zane the lady killer! had so much fun running around in the rain. Mini Zane (Jace or JAYZ his stage name) Such a new experience for a 2 year old... I could just hear him saying in his head..."This is the BEST day ever!" From Left to right: Zane,Dallas and Corbin. Dallas pulling his Gang face..."What UP! you looking at me?". If kids weren't made out of rubber Jace's legs would have broken off. he jumped off this rock ledge at my moms house at least 40 times screaming " SUPER MAN!" Man those were the days.My moms new dog...Cyra's new best friend. Every model needs a cute dog, just kinda fits. His name is Peanut but everyone calls him Peanut Head.Jace and Peanut going head to head in a battle for the fluffy bunny. It was the funniest thing all day. Who doesn't like Peanuts? Besides Mom.
Last but not least the kids had their first day of school sporten their cool new digs.
Kaysha Started 4th grade and Zane started 1st grade. There are no pictures of Gage because he started junior high and he is way to cool for pictures.

Stay tuned for pictures from Second Hand Serenade-Playradioplay concert and our yearly end of summer bbq bash coming up...

Magical Midget...

I went upstairs the other day to see that my room had been visited by the magical midget.

To explain this "magical midget"... One day, about a year ago, I got very frustrated with the kids becasue I felt like I was always picking up after them. They would take things out then leave them. Finally out of frustration I said" Who do you thinks going to clean this up... the magical midget!" Since then, any time things get cleaned up with out anyone seeing, the kids and James joke that it must of been the "magical midget" that cleaned it.

So on Saturday, to my surprise, the magical midget finally visited ME!

Not only did the magical midget visit me, she also visited everyone elses rooms.

This Maical midget is nicer then the usually one... she left treats for everyone! We love our little magical midget!

Bear Lake 1 and Bear Lake 2

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post. Well, we are finally back from our LAST Bear Lake trip. I wanted to put pictures up from our first Bear lake trip before we took off again but didn't find time between re-packing, cleaning the house and Napkin Journals launch party (more on that later). The kids just love it at Bear Lake. James was putting Jace to bed last night (couple of hours after coming home) and Jace asked him if we could go to bear lake in the morning.

Our first trip to Bear Lake was with a big group of our friends. This was the 4th year we have done this, each year it seems to get a little bit bigger (This year we had 9 families join us). It is so much fun to relax at the beach with all your friends. We are already counting down to when we can book our spots for next year!

Who loves Bear Lake??

How could you not love Bear Lake when you have all this....

Friends...

(kaysha and maddie)

Sea shells....

Sand....

Fish...

(I think this is the most disgusting thing EVER!)

Ice cream...

(mmmm... bubble gum ice cream) Water...Family...

(we took a break from the beach to get pizza and ice cream)And did I mention SAND....
(the kids built onto this sand hill for hours)

You will have to check out Cyndi's blog to see the one little accident that happened on our trip, besides that everyone had a great time!!

Our second trip was our annual Jensen bear lake trip. We have been doing this with James' family for 7 years straight. This year we had almost everyone come, were only missing his brother Paul who had to work.

Here is Kaysha with some of her cousins, getting there legs buried.

Zane and max making a castle.

We found this to be the easiest way to keep track of all the kids. heheSandy...i mean, KayshaCyra doing some modeling for me.A snake that Gage and Zane made.Finding Nemo.... ( made by James)Surfer dude...Iron Man...Monday night we celebrated Grandma Jensen and Cassidys birthdays. You can't have a birthday without a pinata.Jace thought it was cool that cyra was shorter than him.Kaysha knee boarding.Zane did awesome on the knee board. He got right out there and just did it.So, funny story to end our trip. I took Cyra and Kaysha in to shower before we left the camp ground (since we were going to be getting home just in time for our ward party). Kaysha was showing first and Cyra was waiting on the bench when suddenly she says in a really shocked tone "Kaysha use to be WHITE!" Both Kaysha and I just burst out laughing. Kaysha definitely has my skin, she can tan so easy.
