love notes and tulips

for no reason, make me happy!

celebrating allie's bday

we like allie.

prom

from softball in st. george to prom all in one day!

baylee is a natural beauty,

inside and out.

i did her make up and hair.

she complained the whole time...

"please don't use hair spray."

"that's too much make up."

we are so different, in a good way.

she had a great time.

jason spied (he still doesn't like the idea of baylee dating),

konnor was a total gentleman.

Model Home Grand Opening

We have a MODEL HOME!! It's beautiful and such an accomplishment for Jason. We are really excited about the development and how things have come together. It's the best product around for your buck. I'm not just saying that. Come see for yourself.... we are having our grand opening tomorrow, Friday March 26th and Saturday March 27th from 11am to 8pm. 13981 S. Ivie Farms Dr. Herriman, UT 84096 (on Rose Canyon Rd at 6900 West). There will be FREE food and BIG incentives. We'd love any support you could offer.

I'll post better pictures later (these were taken from Jason's mobile phone). you can email me for more info or any questions... karlinkess@comcast.net. xoxo

good bye goldilocks

yes, i went to school to cut hair

but paying someone else to do it is worth every penny!

he has a major fear.

he still won't let anyone touch him with clippers

but at least we can now use scissors.

he is so handsome.

ice cream

why can't i resist an ice cream cone?

everything has to be washed after, including the car seat

but it's totally worth it!

Lil Gym

Weston goes to a Little Gym class once a week.

He is learning hockey, golf, and baseball.

It is really cute and has been really good for him.

He is learning to listen and play with other boys.

and who knew, he's got mad golf skillz!

It's the highlight of his week.

baylee's basketball season

basketball season is a busy time for us
with practice and games every night of the week.
baylee had a great season.
she started jv and her team only lost one game.
she loves playing!

here are some pictures of her (#20) in action...

defense is her strength

i put on a quite a show with my three kids in tow

but they are the cutest fans around.

softball is already in full swing.

here she is at her basketball banquet in her softball

uniform and still getting straight A's!

Griffin's season

Griffin's team won about 50/50.

He loves to play too!

He recently broke Weston's basketball hoop because

he is always shooting on it in his spare time.

we are griff's #1 fans!

he is now taking guitar lessons, occasionally works for Jason, and helps me always!

warmth

it was a happy saint patricks day because it was warm.

we warmed our bodies with yummy corn beef for dinner too.

i heart mondays

gymnastics and in-n-out calls for a fun family night!

avaree has almost mastered the cart wheel and

i still can't believe we have an in-n-out in utah.

it still looks foriegn to me but we frequent it often now that the lines have died down.

it's avaree's favorite, she gets stickers and a hat everytime.

besties

girlfriends are the best.

8 months

i finally caught his cute smile on camera!

(he get's so serious when I pull the camera out)

his latest is he shakes his head back and forth

with his mouth wide open-like he is saying no,

and it's the cutest!

he's kind of sitting up,

he grabs his toes,

and now has two bottom teeth!

stop growing!

we love you, frankster.

hello

hello to you if you are still checking in on us!!

we are alive,

life is busy.

it has been months since i can say-

my laundry is mostly caught up, my house is clean (because i paid someone to clean it today), my car is somewhat clean (because i paid someone to clean it today even though rain is in the forecast), bills are paid, 2 kids are asleep, and i don't have a basketball game, gymnastics, or a guitar lesson to run off too, or dinner to cook because i'm making jason bring home take out.

aaahh, it feels good.

i'm trying to enjoy it because i know it won't last long!

i thought i could finally get caught up on blogging but i didn't realize how much i have to do! hey, i can't be caught up on everything, right? so bare with me as i catch up on the past couple of months.

i've missed my blogging outlet.

and i told you it wouldn't last long, weston and frankie just woke up!

avaree karol photography part 2

i just figured out that avaree is the reason why i have so many pictures. so here are a few more pictures that she took that i thought were post worthy.

this one especially, because poor Finn has now gone to fish heaven.
