birthday party

Happy 60th Birthday Mom!

Dad gave us all such a great present by flying Samson, Natalie and their kids out to Utah to help Mom celebrate her birthday. We've had so much fun laughing, eating and hanging out the past few days! Here are some pictures that I took at mom's party.

Go, Fight, Win!

Here are two cute girls practicing the cheer the made up while at G-ma's on Christmas Day!

Alex

I just wanted Alex to know that we are proud of her and new special calling as the Beehive Class Secretary! I think Alex will be FANTASTIC at this calling because she is organized and dedicated! Can you believe how old these kids are getting? Love ya Alex!

I thought I'd start to update this blog a bit more and hopefully that will trigger everyone else to do the same! Here are some pictures of the kids at Mom's yesterday.

I love how all the kids swarm to Emery. This picture was a bit staged but this is really how it is. All of the kids love to be around Emery and their always saying, "I want to hold her!" or "It's my turn now!"
I didn't really care for this picture but as I looked at it, I wanted to know why Alex was making that face...please explain Alex!

The princesses...and Jaden looking through the doors. Jaden already has some blackmail princess pics so I guess he didn't want to participate in the fun!


Oh what a cheese ball! Here is Aiden showing of his lovely shoes! Can you tell he has older sisters or what?? He did have his nails painted too!

And Britton sure loved the frosting on those cupcakes!! But I think he has more on his face!!

* Just as a side note, I completed this post while holding Emery and eating cereal! Yes, I am typing with one hand. So I think everyone should update this blog more often. Bring back the Throwback Thursdays!!

Words from my five year old today...

"Remember when we were at the beach and

Bryanna taught me how to pee in the ocean?"

Thanks, Bryanna... I didn't want to have to teach her that!

Boys-

I thought this picture was so cute because it shows that Dad and Britton really do have the same smile! Now we just need Carson in the picture because he smiles just like these two boys.

Small, Smaller, Smallest...

The Tidwells

Tufts Family Swim Lessons ~

The kids started swim lessons this week.

Kailey and her friend have a good time in the water.

They usually hold hands while they wait for their teacher.

It is cute to watch them together!

Carson likes to play around in swim lessons.

He has a guy teacher who lets them goof off quite a bit.

His favorite part is jumping in at the end!

Today is was hot and humid -

Jackson and I really wanted to get in the water!

Blue-Eyed Boy

I have been going through my pictures and I found this cute one of Britton that was taken on the fourth of July. Look at those blue eyes. Just wanted to share it with everyone...
