summerfest booth

I thought i'd show you guys shea's booth any comments on how we can make it look more professional would be great. We had a long week framing what we could and getting stuff done but in the end i was proud of what Shea has been able to accomplish since he quit. Keep your fingers crossed for us and keep us in your prayers. Love ya Lauren

Learning to Share!!!

tessa and claire are finally learning how to share (most of the time). since they both LOVE the car from aunt marnie, they have figured out that if they squeeze together they can both fit at the same time. they can't move it very well when they are both in it, so they just hang out and chat with each other.

Did what mama wanted

So ma was getting after me for not putting up any post so I decided to put up this one here I am at the Demolition Derby. Hot dogs, explosions, monster trucks and fine women. Can't ask for a better Saturday.

FIRST WEEK OF SUMMER

Ok so this is just a post to bitch about how much I hate the first week of summer.  My kids go from structured mild monsters, to out of control party animals.  They want to go a hundred miles a minute with 50 friends to 12 places.  Aiden has taken to peeing in the toilet but poops in his drawers everytime.  Colin and his friends sneek around playing Halo and Tour of Duty 3  (both are rate M) and then go hide and shoot the air soft guns, that are way off limits!!  My dear Alexia has gone from being Charlie to Varuka in about 3 weeks (charlie and the Chocolate Factory reference there).  Thinking all all rules are stupid and she should get anything she wants.  WTF  Flo is in town and I hate all my children.  I am going to take a bath and an ambian and then if I hear any of them they might get their heads torn off.

Viva La Summer!!

talk to you all tomorrow!!

Nicole Hill Photo Shoot

My photo teacher also is a stock photographer and works for a company called rubberball.  They go around shooting shots that they then sell to others for advertising, commercials, and etc...  She had seen a pic of my kitchen and wanted to know if she could do a photo shoot there.  I told her she could and when she came to look she wanted a few more rooms.  it was a fun day watching her light and work with the models.  They also did video shots (12 sec scenio shots) of all the shoots.  Very interesting, very crazy.  We didnt get everything she wanted in one day, so she is going to come back and shoot a few more rooms using my KIDS!!  She is very talented.  You can see more shots at her website:  NicoleHill.blogspot.com.  Here are a few that she took at my house.  Check out the entire shoot on her blogspot above.

Her mother SUCKS!!

Yesterday, our baby girl, Princess Alexia turned the big "15".  We (Todd, Alexia, and I) had spent a grueling 3 days on the pioneer trek in Wyoming.  We all got home Saturday night totally spent and exhausted.  Somehow we all made it up and to church, then out to lunch to celebrate Lex's birthday, then home to make a cake.  Todd's family was coming over to bring presents and have cake.  About 20 minutes before they arrived, I got soooooooo sick!! Ended up with the runs and throwing up and a horrible night.  Needless to say, I didnt get a birthday post up.  We love this girl like no other.  We are so proud she is our daughter and in our family.  We can hardly wait, and are a bit scared of the years to come.  Just think next near we will be looking at repos for her to drive.   HAHA  Love you babe....  you rock our world!! (literally)

Jackson, Colin and Aiden are also so lucky to have such a great, loving, attentive big sister and they love you tons too.

Love mom and dad
