The Crazy Month of June

I can't believe that June has come and now is gone. We have been so busy that the month has just flown by. We have celebrated birthdays, father's day. We have had BBQs, and gone to parades and activities and just lived our day to day life. I have lots of pics to show you all the fun we have had during this month of June. Thanks to all those that came and helped with the BBQ! It was so much fun and I am so glad we had a great turn out. It was great to visit with you all! Enjoy the pics!We started the month off with the girls first haircut. Aunt Jenny took good care of them and just gave them a trim. They were very good and didn't cry or fuss. Miah as you can see was having a great time! Too Cute! We also started the month off with a new addition on the Walters side. We welcomed sweet little Lyndsie into the world at 6lb and I think 3 or 6 ounces. She is a doll!!
My girls are 11 months old almost a whole year. WOW! Where did the time go? They are so much fun and they change daily. I don't think I could love them more. I enjoy them everyday and try not to get frustrated and just laugh at the times when I am about to go crazy. I love them so much and just can't believe that they will be one. I think I will always think of them as my baby girls. The girls got to have a good visit with Grandpa Great on Father's Day. Look at those somber faces. We sure love you Grandpa Great!!I was so busy visiting and making sure all was well at the BBQ I forgot to get my camera out. So here is the only picture I got and this was after everyone had gone. Yes Lacey is missing. It was so fun to get together and laugh and catch up on what everyone is up to. Thanks everyone for coming! It was fun!Stock Parade here we come. The girls loved the horses and just being outside. Miah enjoyed the parade on Uncle Lane's lap and Mazie was content to stay in her stroller and watch all of the beautiful horses walk by. We celebrated both Grandpa Carlton and Grandpa Walters Birthdays this month. I forgot my camera on Grandpa Walters birthday, but had it on hand for my dad's birthday cuz we celebrated it after the stock parade. Happy Birthday Grandpa's!! We Love You!!My cousin Trevor came home from his mission and we went to the airport to welcome him home. The girls met him for the first time. That is him at the top of the escalator, the tall skinny one. I forgot how tall he is. Way to go Trev on serving a great mission!This is us at the miniature float parade. The girls loved watching all the kids and loved the bands when they were playing. Miah was dancing to the music. Miah got Uncle Lane to hold her again during the parade. Mazie sat by me and I got this adorable picture of her. It is my favorite!!After the 5k on Saturday morning, thanks to Ashlee and Alicia for running with me! Grandpa Carlton took us to breakfast in the park and then we all went to the parade. It was hot and long and the girls didn't enjoy this one as much. They were troopers though and so was daddy. Kayleb hates parades, but it is amazing what you can get him to do for his girls. He is a sucker for those cute faces! Mazie is becoming quite the daddies girl. When she whines or wants something she always calls for her dad. Miah is a mommies girl and I am bad and just let her whine. I do give in sometimes. Cute little stinkers! OH yeah and by the way they are both crawling now so it is a nightmare to get them both bathed, dressed, and hair done in the mornings. I call it the Miah and Mazie round-up. I am in a lather and totally exhausted when I walk out of their room when I am done. Gotta love it!Grandma took us to the park for pony rides and to see the animals. The girls were tired and angry and didn't like the pony much. Miah freaked when a goat got in her face and so we hung out in the shade and watched Ryder ride the train and ponies. He was standing in line for the train and had his money and kept telling everyone to look at his fifty dollars. He is a cutie! Thanks Grandma for taking us to the park!

Good Luck Toddie!!

My baby bro Todd is leaving tomorrow to the MTC to start his two year journey in the service of the Lord. I can't believe that it is finally here. It never seemed like it would come and now all I can say is Good Luck Toddie! Thank you for being an example to me and for being the only one who would tickle my arm. We will miss you so much, but you will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We are so proud of you and the decisions that you have made. Thanks for always being willing to help me when I needed ya and I know you will be a great missionary! Good Luck learning your language, for me I think that would be the hardest part. Just remember Miah and Mazie love you and Kayleb and I do too!! Work hard and WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

My Babies Are Growing!!!

My sweet baby girls are a few months shy of being a year old. I can't hardly believe it! The time has just flew by! They are so much fun talking and trying to walk. Mazie would walk all day if somebody would take her. She is getting more brave everyday. I have been lucky that they are not fast crawling everywhere. They can get around, but it takes them a while to get there so I can keep up for now. They get more and more personality as the days go by. Miah is such a ham. She can just laugh, yell, and cheese it all at the right moment. She always starts laughing whenever anyone else does. She cracks me up. Mazie is always the nervous and shy one. She can say many words it is just getting her to say it to anyone else but me. I never imagined having so much fun just being a mom to the most precious girls. They are my heart and we have so much fun together! Cute Little Stinkers!!

I got a jogging stroller so I don't have to run on the treadmill or get a babysitter if I want to go run. It has been great! We use it everyday and we all love it! The girls just love to be outside and love stroller rides. Many of my neighbors can hear us coming down the road because the girls are usually talking. Hopefully I can shed some unwanted pounds and be able to last the whole time in my soccer games. My first game I was pretty rusty and very out of shape. Hopefully my team will be surprised this Saturday when I can last a little longer because it is so much fun to get out and play again. I love the sport and have missed it! I have played here and there, but nothing that was organized and it was tons of fun!

Pool Time!

The girls and their cousin Ryder had a great afternoon just chillin in the pool. It was a sunny hot afternoon and we just decided to go swimming. Miah was not so sure about it at first, but after she sat on the towel for a while we tryed again and just as long as she didn't get splashed too much she was okay. Mazie loved it and was playing the whole time. Ryder was in and out running through the sprinkler and back to the pool so there was a lot of grass in the pool. Mazie loved to try and catch the floating grass and eat it. It was lots of fun to have Ryder over to swim with us and hopefully give his mom a break for a minute. Ryder gave away that his mom was expecting by saying they were going to have a baby sister. Even though we already knew, that just confirmed my suspicion. Congrats I am so excited for a new baby in the family and that it is not me!!!

Crazy Weekend!

What a Crazy weekend we had! We went bowling with Lance to spend some time with him before he left for the summer. We partied with Great Great Grandma for her 90th Birthday! We also celebrated Lance's and My Birthday's! I am all for any event that involves cake and icecream! We had lots of fun with everyone. Now Lance is gone for the summer to work in New Mexico and we will miss him so much and hope he can make some moolaa for school this fall. The girls will miss him very much and maybe will be walking by the time he gets back. Here are some pics of our crazy fun filled weekend!

Bowling with Lance and Grandpa! Grandma Jeano in the background bowling a STRIKE!!

Sunny St. George or wait.....sunny?

We made the long trek down to supposedly sunny St. George and found that it wasn't what we had planned for. It was cold and windy and we did not see the sun hardly at all. We wanted to go swimming and we did as soon as we got down there, but that was the first and only time the entire trip. What a disappointment! I needed some color on my pastie white face and I think I came back even whiter than before! Well the whole trip wasn't all a bust we got some good shopping in and we ate out at some great places and we got to just hang with the girls. All the boys were either working or gone turkey hunting. Thanks for all the help with the girls everyone. Jenny and Jeano helped me pack them around and feed them which was a great help. Ryder helped entertain them and Kellie and Kenzie were always willing to pack them around for me. It was nice to always have some help! Well here are some pics of the trip.

Just happy to be out of their car seats at last!

Here they are playing on the bed again!

Back in the car seats! FUN!

Oh, here they are on the bed playing again! Such variety in the pictures! I love the girls crazy morning hair though! I didn't take any pictures of shopping or swimming I was so lame. By the way this week St. George is in the 80's...typical Carlton luck!

Easter Dresses

My little beauties looked pretty spiffy before church on a gorgeous Easter Sunday morning. I never thought I would like to dress my girls up, but it was so fun and they are so stink'in cute! Miah Jean

Mazie Mae and Miah Jean

Mazie Mae

They werent' so sure about their Easter baskets. We went to Great Grandma Carlton's for Easter dinner and it was great! Thanks for the great dinner Grandma! I am so grateful for such good family all around me! I am also grateful for what we celebrate on Easter. The resurrection of my Savior! I love my Savior Jesus Christ so much and know that he lives and loves all of us and if we let him in our lives he will bless us again and again! I would not be able to go a day without Him! I know he is there watching out for me always!

Happy Easter!

The Phillippines Angeles Mission!

Todd received his call today and he is going to serve in the Phillippines Angeles Mission! We were all shocked. Our family all guessed and wrote our guesses down and nobody even came close. I am so excited for my Toddie!!! I am so proud of my littlest bro! I love him so much and look up to him in so many ways! I know he will be a great missionary! He leaves June 10th so soon. I know he will be so glad to get out there and work! He has been very anxious. I just want to tell him Congrats, we love him,and we'll pray for him! This is the video of him reading his call. It is kind of shacky sorry.

Here is some other pics of the exciting night.

Congrats Todd! We Love You!!!

Happy Birthday Kayleb!

Well Sunday was Kayleb's birthday! Happy Birthday to the best husband and friend a girl could ask for! We had the party on Saturday earlier in the day then he went to dinner and the Jazz game with some work people. The girls and I just have to say what a great dad he is! We love him so much and look forward to time spent with him. We are so lucky to have him! Happy Birthday Daddy! These are some pics from the party. I won't tell you how old he is but by the looks of that fire you can tell he is getting pretty old! Love Ya Kayleb! I know Grandpa Great said not to put this picture on the blog, so I hope he isn't mad. I think it is a great one. Mazie was kind of being a stinker (she was getting tired from all the fun), but we love you Grandpa!
