Diabetes-versary & happy times



 When your husband asks when you're going 
to update your blog---
you know you're LONG overdue for an update. 
Apparently he really wants to know 
what's going on in our family!
So here you go, babes! 
(pics out of order - too much work to fix)

Rydge celebrated his 2 month diabetes-versary 
on April 14th.  He is a rockstar.
'Nuff bout that.
Will post later with the details.


Cousins, cousins, cousins!
We had so much fun with my sis Kati 
and her family that drove a million 
miles from Pocatello, ID to come to the
Houston Rodeo (and to see us, too).

Here are of few of them snoozing.



How long do you think it took before
Maddie was in that water, too?
Yeah, not long.



We had pics taken while the whole
fam-damily was here. 
I'm chubbers - but everyone else 
is GORGEOUS!
When did my kids get so stinkin' big??
I'm secretly hoping this diabetes 
thing stunts Rydge's growth and he's my 
little Rydgit  fOrEvEr!



I heart this pic so so very very much. 
I love those grandparents with
their grandbabes. 
Beautiful.



Rodeo with the crew.


 Tyler had the great fortune to be a part of 
PAWS (partnering animals w/success)
this year at Klein.  
AMAZING experience.  
View here and here for more info.



Also, we are really reverent at church.

...see?



My little man won 2nd in area with his mad hops.
He's competing in regionals this weekend in Waco.
Triple-jumpin' fool.
My little piece of coconut in the chocolate pie.



The kids had a most amazing weekend at 
Book of Mormon Youth Conference.
This is Kyle looking BOM'ish.



My hero, Leah, convinced all the kids to dye 
Easter eggs.  This was Tyler's.
In case you can't see it says,
"I'm mad @ Leah".



This kid cooperated a little better.


CUTENESS. sort of.
Hayley is always cute.
And my LULU got braces!!
So of course SHE's cute. 


Kyle got his haircut. 
I told him he looked hot.
He said that was inappropriate.
whatev.



 Rydge writing down his carbs.
This boy is an inspiration.
He is OWNING this diabetes stuff.
I'm so proud of him.


The crew.  
I love these peeps with all my heart.
