Missy, Sis, Em & Emily

My sister GRADUATED!!! Yea! We are so proud of her. She got to wear the Shadow Ridge High Honors white robe. She is quite the smartie! She's headed off to WSU - Washington State - in August. I can't believe she is going so far! We're glad its still on the west coast though. I went to SUU where I was away from home but still very close. I needed to be able to come home at a moments notice. But not my independent little sister. She's "outta here"!!! Can't hardly wait to be all on her own.
We got to go home to be there for her graduation and then stay for a few days. Jeremy stayed home (at mom & dad's house) during the graduation cause we did NOT want to take the boys. So my 3 favorite boys didn't make it into the pictures but the rest of my family was all there. It was especially nice to see Jake cause he is working in Sacramento this summer and we won't see him again until September.
Oh, and isn't my sister SOOO pretty!

About a boy (or two)

I thought today would be a good day to post something about the boys since its been a while. They are both awesome. When Zack isn't teething he is a sweet and happy boy. The poor kid has had the hardest time cutting teeth. Its molars right now, but even his little front ones were brutal on him. When he is cranky, I have learned that Tylenol is not the most evil thing in the world. I don't like dosing up my kids, but a mom's sanity is dependent on it sometimes! This video is a new favorite. Its totally Zack in all his sweetness. He is precious and learning so fast!

Aiden is a great big brother. He loves to teach Zack all he knows. He walks around the house singing random rhyming words. Most of them aren't actually words, but they rhyme with a real word so they make the cut for his songs. He is an independent little soul. I'm learning to keep him busy so he stays out of trouble. He tests the bounds constantly. But it melts my heart when he climbs on my lap and says "I love you Mom." He's a good kid and he has a passion for learning that is adorable. He can't wait until he can go to school like his older friends. He likes to tell everyone that "When I get bigger and bigger I can go to school." This video is of one of his favorite things to do - Make Zack laugh. He's good at it too! What parent doesn't want their kids to get along so great! Its such a blessing and we love it!

Baby Showers

It seems strange to me to be posting this here, but its one of the best ways to reach all of you!
I have a few fabulous people who have offered to throw me a couple of baby showers here in Mesa. The one Jenifer is throwing will be on June 27th. Afton and Jennie Raye will throw one for me on July 11th. Jenifer is a good friend of mine and Afton & Jennie are family. So, for the most part, I'm inviting friends to the June 27th shower and family to the July 11th one. Confused yet?
What I need from all of you? Addresses! You can email them to me at swmngrd99@yahoo.com If you would like to be invited to the 'other' shower (ie: you're a friend and July 11th is better for you - or vice versa) let me know. I'd love to see all of you to celebrate this little girl!
