That explains why I NEED to go to Italy!.....Zac???

You Belong in Rome

You're a big city soul with a small town heart Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand And gorgeous Italian people - could life get any better?

What City Do You Belong In?

Don't mess with Mamma!

Zac has a bad habit of talking back and on our vacation I let him have it!!!! KIDDING,KIDDING, I SWEAR! He was playing volleyball with his cousins and accidentally got an elbow to the eye. It was pretty nasty! Good thing he's so tough! (And still pretty cute!)

My New Hero!

Not to be a political psycho, but I have to say that this woman has gotten me very excited for the next election. Her speech the other night was AMAZING! I truly believe that she is genuine and honest and will make a great Vice President! Go Gov. Palin!!!!!!
p.s Does anyone else see the resemblance to my mother in law? Both are babes!:)

Family Reunion..... Party Giraffe Off!

So we just got home from Utah yesterday. We had an awesome trip with Zac's mom's family. We went to L.C. Ranch in Altamont, Utah. The theme of the weekend was "Party Giraffe Off." If you knew this family, you would understand! We had so much fun hanging out, playing games, riding quads, reading (mommies only!), EATING, having CJ's shower,and playing at the lake. Isabelle had the time of her life with all of the cousins. I think she might have a little too much of her daddy in her because she is so in love with being in the forest. She was outside the WHOLE time and partied her little heart out! Ava was SUCH a good girl. She melts our hearts everyday with her sweetness. She loved all the attention of being held and constant comotion. It was just a great time and so good to see all of the family! Thank you SO MUCH Larry and Patti! You guys are the best!

Ava LOVES her Papa!

Ava and my dad have a very cute relationship. He always seems to calm her down and she just loves him to hold her. Such a good Papa!

PEEK-A-BOO

Isabelle was being so funny on Sunday while I was making dinner. She ALWAYS has to be right where I am and all in my business, so of course she was "entertaining" me while I was cooking. She sang "Ariel" to me and was making me take pictures of her. Of course she didn't always want to look at the camera. She is a crazy girl... I love it!

Our Babies

I also attempted to take some shots. I am not quite the photographer as the rest of my family, but I try. It helps to have cute little monsters! Also Grace (her cousin) and Ava are becoming quite the homies. They are going to be good buddies! Then there are the bandits, a.k.a Braden and Izzy. They are nothing but trouble. As you can see they were pushing her stuffed dog (Zowie) on the "motorcycle"




Annie got a new camera lens and we were taking some pictures in the back yard last night. Here are some that she got. They are pretty cute! Thanks Annie!
