Made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will;
To seek, to strive, to find, and not to yield.

Side Note:
The fork. or Also known as "A Dingle-hopper" Reminds me of one who not only had amazing hair (that I would pretend I had as I swam in our pool as a young girl) but also for me represents a young woman who loved learning about everything and anything. Who pushed past barriers and boundaries to find her place in this world. In this industry education is key and you are always always learning. Everyday! And with that requires perseverance to reach goals. The industry of beauty is all about testing, pushing and surpassing barriers and boundaries. This industry is truly SWEET!!!!

and more






The pic of Tessa I accidentally deleted on the previous post (She loves love loves her daddy) and our white elephant gift pics.
So for this gift we took pics of us pretending to lick them, we bit some in half, made it look like Brock has them, and the dog and no worries! I cleaned the toilet really well before that pic. It was fully disinfected and sanitized. We put the pics in the box so when they opened the box of luscious See's candy, they saw pics first. LOLOLOL!!!! Sooo funny And 2 of the chocolates were rubber too! Gotta love gag gifts.

Maybe?Ok, I need to redo for bows, but I think I'll wait a bit. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure. Loves.

Brock being set up to make it look like he was sneeking the chocolate.
The most amazing thing. A basket homemade goodies, little gifts for the kids and a surprise envelope that doubled our christmas budget. Hawes ward, there are no words. I cried!!!!! Thank you so much. We love you all.
Branson hating his hair cut. He said it was fine, then cried for and hour. We ended up buzzing it at 9:30pm. He felt better and went right to sleep.
James love'n his new buzz.
Cute Brock. Maybe I should have trimmed his Hawk like eyebrows too?
Sweet Tessa all trimmed up. I'm not good at putting the pics in order. Sorry.
Who says you can't buzz a girl? She needed it. Her hair was crazy.

Tessa loving pizza. She kept grabbing the box off the table.
Me, James and Branson after their performance at school. They did great.

Our happenings..... I didn't forget James, He's soon to come.

Branson broke his wrist while playing on the monkey bars at the park on night. Thankfully he only had to wear the cast for 4 weeks.

Brock all dressed up and no where to go.


Branden is now 31! And there you see my Reeses chocolate peanut butter cake. It's awesome!

Branson turned 7. He's fun and silly and bashful, and helpful. Last night while tucking the boys in we were talking about their new friends they're making in class. They started listing the kids in our ward and Branson said, "And Morgan is in my class." James couldn't remember who she was so I told him that she is the red headed Incardone girl then stated that she was such a cute girl. Then I heard Branson say, "Ya she is".


Brock sneeking ice cream in the early morning hours before we got up.
He loves ice cream!


Tessa trying baby food for the 1st time. She loves it "this much"!

Oh!!!!

I also forgot to say that one of my highlights of my Utah trip was going to Vegas to hang out for a night with my most best friend Michelle. Shell was smart and took pics. I however was not so on top of it, but you can see how cute little Dax was with Tessa on her blog.
He just gave her tons and tons of kisses.
I sure love you Shell and you too Eddie. Thanks so much for dinner & for letting me hang out so last minute. I had so much relaxing fun and it always feels like my second home when I'm with you.
P.S. I wanna see what you got with that Old Navy card! Giving the gift of shopping always makes me happy! Let me know if you had any issues with it.

Pics, Pics and More Pics!

Sweet Tessa and her new trick.
An "action" pic taken by Kaycee. Having fun at the Virgin River in St.George, Ut.
The weather was gorgeous!!!
A family pic at the waterfall. Note: it was very very slippery. But the kids had no problem climbing all over it.
Ashley, Brock and Kaylee building sand castles.
My boys.
Brock very excited to play.
Brock with Kaycee's makeup on. Another mess to clean up but note the mascara he managed to place on his eyelashes. What a goofy kid!
Look closely at Tessa's right eye. She totally has a brown spot at the top of it. I love it. I will be having her eyes looked at just in case but otherwise I hope it stays. It's very original and fun.
Me and Tessa in her red paper hat made by Kaylee.
All the family at Brooke's baptism. She is now an Allen girl as of July 3rd. She married my brother Michael at Laguna Beach in Cali.
The boys rock climbing at the Washington Rec center.
They never got higher than the dotted line but they sure had fun. The rec center was so fun. Kaycee and I did Zumba every week. I LOVE ZUMBA!!! If any of you know of a great place to do zumba in Gilbert or Queen Creek, please let me know!!! (note: the addiction factor for zumba is defiantly based on your instructor. April at the Washington center was awesome! A guest instructor that taught a new song had no rhythm. I admired her courage to do it, but man alive!!! The instructor makes a huge diffrence.)
My new niece Tristan and Brock.
Brock happily swimming at the Rec center. He loved this kids area and was always upset when it was time to leave.
The pool is an indoor and is surrounded by roller walls that are opened on warm days.
There is a huge bucket at the top of the play set that fills with water then dumps out everywhere. Also, a small lazy river, a big tub water slide, an outside splash pad, and a lap pool.
Brock eating a carrot out of Grandpa's garden. We had a lot of fun eating home grown corn, onions, spinach, beets, squash, and even tried chard. Good stuff.
Branson's kindergarten graduation. 1st grade here he comes.
James room.
Branson and Brocks room.
Although these were the rooms painted in the rental that we just moved out of. :( So sad to work so hard then have to leave so soon. HOWEVER, we so do not miss the scorpions!!!!
