Ben's Studio Show!

This is tomorrow the 25th! Please come!!

BFF!

These two are bossom buddies, and best of friends! one couldn't possibly get their photos taken without the other! Bella wanted to get gussied up too!! and they giggled almost the whole time!!

Sweet Gabby!

I can't believe she is almost 6 years old! she is still so small for her age, but looks so grown up to me in these pictures! Jan wanted to give Danny (my brother) some new photos of Gabby for Fathers day. I have been waiting for an excuse to use my cute chair I repainted and outfits I made, and Gabby was the perfect fit! isn't she adorable! Bella wanted in on the action, so we took some more photos of the two of them, which I will post next.

My Momma's B-day

My lovely Mom had her birthday on Monday and we went up the canyon to celebrate! All my siblings were there except for my brother David.

Carnival heaven!

Saturday was Orem city days, so we met up with Danny, Jan and Gabbers at the carnival. The kids all squealed as they took their place on the rides, and it was non stop until the parade started and then it poured rain and felt like it was January!
p.s. photobucket sucks, so now I am back to posting through blogger and my photos once again look like junk!

Adventure

It was nice to have some time together, just the four of us! Benny took us for an adventure which is one of his specialties! we went up the Payson canyon and found this beautiful little lake! it was raining, so we huddled close in a blanket and watched the rain dance on the water while we had a picnic. The girls decided to join in the dancing and giggled while Ben told them stories. We went on a little trail and Coco almost stepped on a snake, she totally freaked out, it was so cute and a bit sad but when Bella saw the snake she immediately wanted it for her pet and kept saying ahhh it's so cute, look mom, it's so cute! So Ben let her bring it home, and it disappeared somewhere in the yard. Bella was sad, I was a little worried it would make it in the house, and coco was relieved!

Lovely Lady!

She is one of the models Ben used for reference for a new painting he is working on, she just looked too cute and from a different time, I couldn't resist!

Look at what I'm drippin with

Little Girls!!! I got to keep my sweet nieces this weekend while the aunties went to NYC! I was a bit jealous, but it was so fun having our girl party at home! Chloe, Ellie, Gabby, Bella , and Coco are my favorite gal pals, and I have never ate so much junk in one weekend!


We had so many owies happen during this course of four days! Coco's eye is so swollen and bruised in this photo. She got bonked by the swing.

can you say The Little Mermaid ten times fast? that's how many times this show played! but that's not all we did, the happenings included, a trip to Jump On It, The Farmers Market, the Bazaar at Haven Salon to get a Pink hair extension from Jan, The movie Up (which I highly recommend!!), the Provo pool, and of course the park!

Pink icing on Graham crackers made all the owies go away!

yummmmmm!!

Bella's Preschool Graduation

She was so excited to get dressed for her big day! all she could talk about for days was wearing her yellow outfit to graduation! Mrs. Peay's class was full of little tot lets singing the nursery rhymes and each took their turn to be the main character, Bella being Little miss Muffet. It was so super cute! and she was so proud of herself!

Zoo

It was our annual zoo date with Cho, Jack and Jane. We didn't see much because the kids were so into the elephants! we made it to the food court, elephant cage, bathroom, elephants again, bathroom again, and then we happened to catch the little train. but the kids had a blast, I swear I got the swine flu after we got back from the zoo, cause I was siiiiiiick for about 4 days, and that is what started my blog slackage.

just saw this

Thanks to Kyle and Lesley for showing me this, I had no idea, but it's fun to see!
p.s. does anyone know why when I load my photos through Photobucket that they sit to the left side of the paige??

Lucy's birthday party

Leah and Geoff threw an awesome party for Lucy turning two. The girls were absolutely enthralled with the bubbles! and I with the food!
thanks for the photos Leah!!
