HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

We spent our 4th with our wonderful neighbors the Camerdilla's. We used to be next door neighbors at our old Apartment complex and they are some of our very favorite people in the world! We did our own fire works and had some pizza and hot dogs and corn on the cob! We laughed and laughed and played on the trampoline in the water. It was so fun! I truly am so grateful for everything! Just the fact that everyday I can do whatever I want whenever I want with whoever I want. Especially with all my boys! A sweet little family in our ward brought over some cookies and a note telling us that they were thinking about us because of the sacrifice of John's brother Clint on this Independane day. It touched us very much, especially John and made us grateful for kind people who also enjoy and appreciate their freedom.

FAMILY PHOTO

I forgot to put this picture up with the rest of them. It is a little blurry but you get the "picture"!

AUNT DENA OR DENEE!

My sister Dena came to stay with us for a couple of weeks this summer. This girl is one in a million. She just graduated from highschool at 17 years old and is heading off to ASU with a full ride scholarship! She cooks, cleans, babysitts, provides great conversation, loves her nephews and never complains. When I am sure her situation is not ideal for a 17 year old. I have loved every second of her being her. We drop to the couch exhausted at night and spend some time together with John and sometimes Netflicks!


This was at Mount Charleston for our ward camp out! So much fun, no sleep but worth every second of beautiful weather and amazingly fun company! Isaac was showing me his roasted marshmellow! Yummy!


We had to keep Easton pinned up some of the time with his friend Dakota because he ate rocks faster then we could get them out!

SLEEPING POOPER!!!!!

This is what happends when your 3 year old doesn't take a nap early enough, so you try to prevent him from sleeping to late in the afternoon. He said he had to go to the bathroom and when I didn't hear from him for a while I went in to check and found this! Hilarious!!!!!!

A LITTLE HEAVEN IN '07!
We had our Udall family reunion in Flagstaff, Arizona this year!
It was so fun and there were 80 people! My mom has 8 brothers and sisters and everyone was there this year including everyones children! I am so bad about getting the pictures I want. I didn't get any group pictures. But it was so fun. We laughed most of all and ate. We had funny family skits and we went hiking and mountain biking and fishing and we played games and we chased children around eating dirt and rocks! It was a blast. I am so grateful for my family. I always come back so rejuvenated and strengthened. And my resolve to do what's right is strengthened because I want to be with every single one of them forever!

THE DEER FARM!
But I would say one of the most awesome petting zoo's I've ever been to. We loved it!

The little group including my cousin Jeff and his wife Carolyn and there 3 kids and my aunt Marcie and her 2 kids and my cousin Kimberly.


FEEDING THE DEER! They were everywhere. They swarmed us and ate out of our hands. Isaac just laughed and laughed. He thought it was so funny!

TEH CAMEL!

THE REINDEER!

THE LAMMA!

THE BEAUTIFUL FAWN!

THE CUTE LITTLE PIGMY GOAT! Jill and I thought he would make the perfect pet, because he doesn't jump on you or bark!

THE POT BELLY PIG!

WEEKEND AT LEAH AND DOUGS!

Me and the boys went early to Mesa before our Udall reunion in Flagstaff this weekend. I stayed with Leah and Doug and we had a little friend get together with all my dear friends I never get to see. I didn't get a big group picture, but Lorrianne Hooper(formally known) and Briauna Tregaskes and Emilee Reece and my old roomate Jennie Whiting and all there adoreable children were there. It was so fun to see them all. I am so grateful for friends!



All the little kiddles including on the left Jennie's Brinnley.

Leah's little Audree with her cheese smile!

Leah's little Olivia! SO CUTE!!!!


Sweet Isaac was hugging Easton because he was cold.

DRESS UP TIME!!!!!






I took Isaac to D.I. to get some dress up clothes and here are some of the pictures! They love it! I highly recommend it.

SURROGATE SISTERS!

Megan and Katie are my new neighbors! They have become like my sisters. They came over for haircuts and I dolled them all up. They stayed for four hours and we played on the trampoline with the sprinklers and played games and ate watermelon. They have so much fun with Isaac. I adore them! Aren't they gorgeous?!?

OUR LITTLE PUPPY EASTON!
I found Isaac feeding our little puppy birthday cake! He was throwing it to him and shoving it in his mouth!

Isaac's new scooter he got for his birthday from Grandma Ferrin! He rides it mostly inside because it's too hot to ride outside.

Easton loves it even more! He cries when we make him get off!

MY FRIEND ISAAC!
So it is so fun to have a 3 year old. The other night John was gone late again and Easton was in bed so Isaac and I played on the trampoline. We were laying there looking at the stars and talking. It was so fun. He asked me," how do witches fly?" I told him that witches don't really fly, it is just pretend. Then he asked me how birds fly and I told him they fly because they have wings and feathers. " I want to fly mom"he said. I told him that someday when we live with Heavenly Father he could fly. I then used it as a teaching moment and it just turned out hilarious. I asked him if he knew he lived with Jesus before he lived with mommy and he said yes and then I asked him if he knew Jesus loved him and he said yes. Then I asked him if he knew that I loved Jesus and he goes, " Jesus loves candy! He loves to eat candy! He has teeth and he chews the candy!" I started laughing and told him that he was probably right that Jesus probably likes candy. Then I said " he has eyes and a nose and fingers and hands." And he interupted me and said " Yeah and they poked his hands." And he pointed to the center of his hands. And I asked him if he knew why they poked him and he said, " those bad men poked his hands." And I said yes, but He died so we won't die but live forever. And then because I have been telling him too many "They Lived Happily Ever After.......The End" stories. He said a big "The End!" We laughed and giggled about the silliest things and he kept saying, "You're silly mom." His other new thing is......"But why?" In this sweet little curious voice about everything. And he also says to me all the time, "Mom, I need a favor." and then he'll ask me to do something for him. These are the times when I have to pinch myself because I can't believe I am a mom of such a fun, amazing, little person!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY ISAAC!!!!!!!!

Isaac's birthday was a huge success! We had some of our best friends that we have made in L.V. I made fajitas and roasted asparagus and fruit salad. The cake was so fun and turned out delicious. We had a Book Birthday Party. I have always wanted to do this. I had each child bring their favorite book and instead of a game we had story time and shared everyones books. The kids were so cute and pretty attentive. It was so fun. I then sent the kids home with there own book. Isaac got some fun presents including a toy electric guitar with microphone, but can you guess his favorite.......Yep a duck umbrella from his old nursery leader. He was so excited! That night when Isaac was saying his prayers he thanked Heavenly Father for " Steven and Liz and Elijah, Lexis and Caleb, Madison and what's her name ( her mom, Emily), and Mommy and Daddy and Easton, and my birthday cake and birthday candles and my new umbrella and my new house and my blue room. What a wonderful boy! So grateful and so fun! It was a happy day when you came to our family!
