Is it Permanent????

Why YES it IS permanent marker all over his body!! I do mean EVERYWHERE!! If you don't believe me you can ask my sister-in-law Kris. She had the opportunity of changing his bum (that is another story - he is supposed to be going in the toilet not his pants) AAAHHHH - BOYS!!
Anyway - I have been working like a mad woman on the computer the last few days trying to get pictures and cards ordered for people before Christmas. When I sat him down to the counter there was no marker in sight! Well, that doesn't make any difference. THE KID CAN CLIMB!! He came in, stood right beside me, and said " Mom, look a tatoooooo! I thought I would find that he had colored on his hand or something with a crayon. Well - not exactly. I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. I just prayed inside that it was washable...........I started the tub and when nothing happened when I sat him in the water my stomach got sick. Then I wondered "what else did he color on?" I found the sharpie on my bed along with a beautiful tatoooooo on my sheets! I guess it is a good thing I don't make my bed very often or it would have been all over my bed spread. Lucky Kid! It's a good thing I love him because I could very easily make a KID FOR SALE sign!

LITTLE STINKER!!!


Anyone know how to get marker out of sheets and off little boys body?

My Family

About 5 years ago we had our last family picture taken. Wow have things changed since then. Three weddings, Nine more grandchildren (with one on the way), and lots more wrinkles!! We were all together for Thanksgiving this year with the exception of our sweet nephew Kyler - who spent Thanksgiving with his mother. Hopefully I can figure out how to photoshop him in one of the pictures. I think it turned out pretty good for as many people were supposed to be looking at the camera. I am so Thankful for my family. We always have such a fun time when we are together. I wish we all lived closer so we can get together more often. I am Thankful for my Parents raising us up right and for all the sacrifices they made for us. So here is my Beautiful Family(if I do say so myself)!

My Sister

I was going through some pictures I was re-ordering because my photo shop skills were - well - lets just say pretty stinky!! Thank goodness for forgiving family and friends through this past year. Anyway, I found this picture of my sister and had to post it because I just think she is so beautiful! I think she gets more and more beautiful the older she gets. She is so talented and can do almost anything. She gets many phone calls from me asking silly little questions and she always has the best answer or best way to do things. Love ya Di!!

Lots to Come!

I have been so busy the last few weeks! I went to Wyoming and took senior pictures for my cousin, family pictures for my brothers and sisters, baby pictures for my nephew, came home ......3 weddings, engagements, formals, and more family pictures.....my kids had the flu.......i finally got my hair done after 3 months YIKES!!! That is way to long in between cuts.....because I start chopping on it myself......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I will be posting lots of pictures on my photography blog this next week so go check em out!
In the mean time I will leave you with a couple pictures of Kody's birthday (unedited:) Yes his birthday was in JUNE. I guess it is true what they say "better late than never?" His birthday was crazy. We had so many things going on that day so we went to McDonalds for dinner and he got cupcakes from Macey's. He didn't complain so I guess he didn't care much! Hopefully next year will be better for him!!











Happy Birthday Kody!

Good-bye old friend

They day has finally arrived that I have to say good-bye to a good, trusted, reliable, ROOMY, COMFORTABLE friend. I know it is sad, but some times we have to make sacrifices for the things that are most important in life. My photography takes me in to town more often than before so I needed something with better gas mileage, cheaper payment, ....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Who knew leasing was not a smart idea???If we would have bought instead of leased we could have both. Any Way! I will miss my girl, but as soon as I make this new little baby my own (not the banks or car dealerships) I will be able to get a new ROOMY, COMFORTABLE friend to join our new little addition. So if you see this little red zipper running around don't forget to wave. AND if you see the kids fighting in the back it's because we have no dvd player and they are sitting way to0 close together. The dvd player with be remedied soon, but the closeness they will just have to deal with. WISH me LUCK!


I will miss you!



Our New Little Addition



Isn't she cute?? She gets 30mpg hwy and 26-28mpg around town!

First for My First

Ty will be turning 7 in August and has finally lost his first two teeth. Here is what went down on his first tooth loosing experience.

Ty came upstairs pretty excited and said he heard a pop from his tooth while he was playing with it. He has been working on it for a few months now. It was bleeding a little and he was a little nervous, but excited at the same time.


He went in the bathroom and tried and tried to get it out, but it wasn't happening. I got him a washcloth for better grip.


He kept looking at it in the mirror and could almost push it out with his tongue.



He looked at me with this sad look and said "I don't feel so good, I think I need to lay down. Good thing he did because he was looking a little pale.



After a few minutes he got back up and tried again. HE DID IT!! He laughed and almost cried at the same time.




He called Aunt Stephy, Grandma and Grandpa Russell and Walker and made me tell the story about 15 times after that. He was pretty excited and I was pretty excited to get that thing out!


The tooth fairy brought him a dollar and he was so excited!
We wrapped a string around his second tooth and after about 30 minutes of trying when he wasn't looking I yanked it out! He was pretty angry until he figured out it didn't even hurt!

Memorial Day

Yes - I know this is a little late, but I have had Weddings and Family Pictures that had to take priority. Go check out my photography blog at amomentwithceleste.blogspot.com and you can also see more pictures at momentsbykellee.com and click on the blog. We have lots of fun stuff coming up so keep checking.
So back to Memorial Day. Every Year since we have been married we have our annual Chugg Picnic. We go to the park and have sandwiches, salads, and yummy deserts. The highlight of the day is the CANDY CANNON!!! Yes - CANDY CANNON. Kelly's uncle Brent fills a cannon full of gun powder and shoots candy across the park. The kids love it so much. This year was a little different. Grandma Chugg and Grandma Jo got out there with the kids and had just as much fun as the kids did. Now you all have to realize that "Chugg" will be turning 95 years old this September. She is still driving, living on her own, going to club, and attends every home Aggie Basketball Game. What an amazing Woman. She is a Daughter of a Utah Pioneer from Hyrum. The Sorensen Homestead. I love her just as my own grandma and am so excited to be a part of her life. Another Exciting thing that happened that day was Kelly went to a Team Roping in Farmington with over 800 teams. After years of practicing almost every night and getting the confidence up to enter he finally did it. He got his first Buckle. He and his partner took 10th place. I wish you all could have seen his face. He was like a kid that just got 100% on their test. He was so excited and I am so proud of all his hard work and dedication to this sport that he loves! So here are a few pictures from the day.



Rylee wasn't so sure about "Chugg" almost getting pick up over Kyle's shoulder.








She gets so mad when I take her Picture


Kelly's Buckle

Carly

I just posted some pictures of Carly you need to go check out on my photography blog!

Rocco Anthony Rael

Becky has been waiting for this day a loonnnggg time. Sorry sis:( While I was in Wyoming for Rocco's baby blessing I was able to get some pictures of him. What a Beautiful Boy. He did pretty good once we got him to sleep. Sleeping babies make the best pictures! That's what they do most at this age anyway. Congratulations Becky and Greg! You made one handsome little boy.

Slide Show

Princess for a Day!

It was Rylee's Birthday on Thursday and we had such a fun time. She dressed up like a princess all day long. We went to the store to get her cake all dressed up. It was funny watching her through the store. People would look and smile at her and she would stare them down. She wasn't quite sure what to think about all the attention.
We had a Tea Party for her in the morning with a couple of her little friends, and cake and ice cream that evening with Grandma Jo, Grandpa Bob, and Grandma Ghugg. I can't believe she is 4. My little girl is growing up so fast. She will be going to pre-school this fall. She is so excited!

Happy Birthday Little Princess!

Tea Party with Cookies and Tea (water)









Rylee was very specific about her cake this year. She wanted a chocolate cake with pink frosting and strawberries on top. It was a lot better than I thought it would be.





I hope all your wishes come true! Love you Rylee

It's HORRIBLE!!!!!

It has Happened! I had hoped this day would NEVER EVER come. I found it this morning after I got back from the gym. I was brushing my hair and it just jumped out and stared at me with it's shiny little coarse smirk. Yes, you guessed it, my first gray hair. Now I have to color my hair for a reason not just for fun! Don't worry I fixed the problem for now, but I have heard that once you get one, it's not long before the others follow.





As Kody would say - EWWW SICK!!
