Addie's "9"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

WOW - Addison is nine years old today, I can't believe it. I hope you have the best day ever! We love you!

30!

Well today is the first day of the thirties and it's going pretty good. I don't feel any different today than I did yesterday. I had a really special couple of days. On Tuesday Adam planned a surprise party for me. I had no idea it was coming and it was so great being with so many family and friends. Adam got a scrapbook and had everyone write on a paper a memory or something that we did together, the thoughtful messages ment so much to me. Adam also gave me six weeks of a trainer at the Life Center, I am so excited to get back to the gym and get healthy again (Especially knowing that I am done having kids and I will finally, almost have my body back). And he gave me the book Breaking Dawn and I get to read it while he has the kids next weekend when it comes out, YES! I am so excited for that one! Wed night we went and slept over at Matt and Christi's so we could get up early and go to the parade in Ogden. I have pretty much gone to that parade almost every year since I was born (my mom's water broke while she was sitting on the curb at the parade). After we all went swimming and had a BBQ at Mom and Dad's. Then the moms took the kids to Kung Fu Panda(which was great by the way) and the Dads went to Dark Night. The grand Finale came when we all met up at Grandpa Dunyon's house for the traditional BBQ and fireworks on the black top. We haven't done this for the past few years but growing up we went to Grandma and Grandpa Dunyon's house every year all our cousins would be there and we would have a great time. Grandpa isn't to very well so it ment a lot to me to be able to make this memory. I love my birthday! July 24th! I love that our family gets together and that we carry on traditions that have gone on for years. I just want to thank Adam who went above and beyond to help me to have a great 30th Birthday! I LOVE YOU! Thanks for all you do! Also thank you to everyone who called or text me, I really had a special day all because of the kindness and love from all of you! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Great times with the ones I love most in the world. We have the best family ever and I love you all SO MUCH!

Fireworks

This is our family at the WSU fire works on Sunday night. This is a family tradition that we look forward to every year. Most of the fam was not able to come this year but the rest of us decided to still get together. We had such a great time with Ty, Rand and Colby, Josh and Danna, and Dave, Jen, Jacque, Jaycee and Janie pie (They werent around when we took the pics :(
Happy Family:)

We went to our ward breakfast and bike parade. We had a great time!

Ellie, Addie, Emma, and Zack.

The girls decorated their own bikes for the parade. They were so excited !

We had a pretty good view of the stage.

Miley Cyris-They girls had a blast!!

The fire works were amazing! We had such a great time together!

Adorable!

This is another picture that my friend Tami took. This guy is adored by his sisters.

I love These Kids!

Today we went to Grandma and Grandpa's back yard and had pictures taken. I am sooo excited with how they turned out! My friend Tami Haycock took the pictures, we had a great time. Tami did such a great job capturing little moments with each of the kids. These pictures are just the tip of the iceberg, she took so many pictures and they all turned out so great, I don't know how I'm going to choose which one I like the best. She's called Tamdee Photo and I added her photo blog to my list so check it out.

My Girls. They all look different and their personalities are as different as their looks. These girls bring so much joy to my life (and stress). I love these girls!

My boy, My boy! This kid is my favorite son:) He is five months old now and he is such a blast! I didn't think I could love him any more but everyday bits and pieces of his little personality are showing up and I fall in love. I am truly enjoying every moment with him and I am so thankful that Tami helped capture this moment so that I will never forget these days.

Emma. She is going to be a photographer when she grows up. She LOVES to do serious poses and I think that this picture captures her perfectly. She is going to be seven in August and she is growing up way too fast. She is such a great helper with Zack and is always the first to help out around the house and to get her chores done.

Addie. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is going to be 9 this month (going on 16)and I can't believe how fast time is flying by. She is such a sweet heart and such a great example to her younger sisters and little brother.

Ellie. Sweet and Sassy, that is this girl. She just turned four in June and she keeps us on our toes. This girl is the most independent kid I know. She makes our lives happy and interesting. She is so expressive and funny.

2008 Dance Recital-Hercules

We had three nights of dance recitals last week. The first night was Ellie and Emma's turn, the second night was Emma and Addie's turn, and the third night was just Emma's turn (she is on the mini competition team so she performs all the nights). Adam took Ellie and Emma to their performance and I stayed at Lagoon with Addie and Zack. I'm really sad because Adam didn't take any pictures of Ellie in her costume but luckily he did video her performance. It's pretty funny!

Addie and Emma. Dancing Sisters
