Oh I love my girls...

I have no words...except for the last 3 pictures. If you're wondering about the rubber chicken...every time Missy takes Sophey's picture she gets attached to it and won't put it down. Kind of a funny memory. :) Then, you can tell when Sophey's mood changed from happy to pouty. The last picture could ONLY be taken from behind...since I didn't think Sophey's tears and boogers were a good enough memory to actually be in the picture. See what I mean about her mood changing. Anyways, I seriously love my girls AND I seriously love Missy, the photographer! She is amazing and you can check out her work at 2gphotography.blogspot.com!

Hayden must be my child...

...because he can drag his birthday out for over a week...here he is on the day he celebrated his birthday at preschool (almost a week before the actual day).

Then we had a party for him 4 days AFTER his birthday!

We had some family over for the BYU game and celebrated all at once. :)

Not to mention the celebrating we did in between. :) Happy Birthday Hayden! Sorry your birthday week is over. Don't worry, next year we can probably drag it out for 2 weeks. :)

Happy Birthday Hayden!

We rushed home from our weekend in Vegas for Hayden's birthday! My Mom made him a birthday dinner and cupcakes, which was super nice...especially since our flat tire and Daylight Savings put us a bit behind coming home!

He got to open some presents and was super happy with them! I forgot to take a picture of him opening the Thomas blanket we gave him!

Mase trying to help him!

Grandpa sat and helped Hayden put the track together. It was so cute.

Happy Birthday Hayden! I sure do love you! You are the sweetest 4 year old ever. :)

Vegas Baby!

This is Jimmer Fredette's brother, TJ. I kinda like him and was super flattered that he would stop on his way to the potty to take a picture with me. :)

Every chance we get, we go to Vegas for some March Madness! I humor Chris by going to the basketball tournament and he humors me by going shopping. :) It's a win/win situation...not to mention spending some quality time together!

We ate at the Bellagio buffet and had a few minutes to stroll thru the gardens there. Absolutely beautiful!

We met up with Chris' parents and their friends, the Rogers'.

I may "kinda like" TJ, but I really have a crush on this one right here. :)

...and this sums up our trip home. It was all worth it though! :)

Some more randomness for you...

One day while Katey was at school, Sophey climbed in her bed. She thought it was SO funny. She even un-made it and fixed the pillows like this. Little stinker. :)

...laughing behind her binky...

Hayden had to join her...he can't resist a little mischief.

You might not think these pictures are as funny as I think they are...

...but they just say SO much...

...Katey got Sophey dressed, tutu and all, but the mouse ears were Sophey's doing...

...the dancing and posing in front of the fireplace (where she could see herself) were ALL Sophey. :)

So, Ryan tried out for a super league basketball team and made it!! SOOOO exciting for him! It's run by the jr. high coaches so they can kind of prep the kids they hope will be on the jr. high basketball team...or something like that. Anyways, it was super exciting for him to make it AND for a bunch of his buddies to make it too! The coaches told all of the boys they need to work on their dribbling to be able to play on a jr. high level. Chris told Ry he needs to dribble 2 basketballs at a time. Ryan's response was, "What's next? Are you going to make me dribble down the hall at church while people jump out at me in the dark?" If you don't follow the Jimmermania like we do around here then that probably isn't even funny to you...

...but, once again, it's funny to me...

Oh, and when I opened the door and yelled "GO JIMMER", Ryan chucked a ball at me. Apparently no one thinks I'm as funny as I do...oh well...

I love taking random pictures...

Every once in a while I just feel like grabbing my camera for no apparent reason...

It could be when my sweet baby is fascinated by bubbles...

...or when my 3 babies just look super cute in the tub...

...or when my "Princess" feels like posing for the camera...

...or when Soph has her BFF over and wants to give her hugs. :)

****

I love my babies...even the big ones.

GOOOOO CHILI DOGS!!!!

My cute friend, Ali, made these awesome posters for our cheering section! Don't you just love the pictures of actual chili dogs!? :)

Ryan's friend, Aiden, wore his hot dog Halloween costume to be the Chili Dog mascot! It was so funny! What a good sport!

Tay struttin' his stuff on the court. He is an animal!

Because of the super weird seating at the rec center we played at I couldn't get a decent shot of him.

...see what I mean...bad camera angles all the way around...

Our cheerleaders. :)

The post-game brotherly love. I am SO sad this picture didn't turn out better! I think Ry was as excited as Taylor was that they won! Tay ran straight to Ry and Ry carried him around for a while. I love when they love each other! :)

"The Hun" posing for a photo and then blocking her face at the last second.

Don't let the look on his face fool ya. He was in HEAVEN!

GOOOOO CHILI DOGS!!!!

Tay with some of his biggest fans!

Grandpa Bill and Grandma Pat came to Tay's game! I wanted to get a picture with Grandma Carrolyn and Grandpa Craig too, but they left before I got a chance. I feel bad too, because they came to SO many of his games this season and ALL of his championship games! We may have to reinact the photo op. :)

Tay was really in the mood for paparazzi...he kept posing and grabbing friends to be in the pictures with him! This is Ethan (his brother is the mascot).

One last team shot! The boys got these awesome Championship t-shirts and they couldn't have been more excited! What a GREAT group of boys!!

The team met up at Arctic Circle after for treats and to spend a little more time together.

Hayden and Mason had a great time...

...Soph not so much. This sums up how she felt about going to MORE games. :)

3 Chili Dog fans. They are super serious big time trouble if you ask me. :)

I am SO proud of Taylor! Not only for playing well, but for being such a great part of that team. They had already put their team together just before registration day when I found out Taylor's team from last year had pretty much ditched him. I called at the last minute and begged for them to let Tay on their team. They hesitated but finally agreed to have "just one more" on the team. I know they weren't sorry and I am so proud of Taylor for proving what a great choice that was! It was so much fun to watch him play and to watch him win! What a great confidence booster!! I love these moments!
