samson has fallen

Kobe came home from school one day and announced "I want a Faux Hawk". I have been trying to get this boy to cut his hair for i dont know how long but he was basically obsessed with it. like in love with his hair. but I could never see his cute little bobe face!!! So i grabbed my scissors and went to town the second we walked in the door out of fear he'd change his mind! We all ended up loving it! (besides my mom who loved his beatles shag of course)

Before (yikes)

After (such a reble)

Just look at that cute face!!!

I'm living in a material world

I forgot to add these pics....I was waiting to see if Connie had better but, oh well...

Connie and I went to an 80's party and decided to dress up! Out of the 1200 people there i think there was 5 people dressed in 80's! but people saw us for sure and I think we had more fun dressing up than at the actual party! :)

I think I should always rock leggings, leg-warmers and silver stilettos. it's a good look. and comfy! :)

Connie made the sweetest glove out of extra material from her shirt and skirt...lace-up!! It was a hit for sure! Love ya Con-star!

Are we really related?

Even though I think London looks alike like me , she looks nothing like Cashel!!! I took these pics a few weeks ago during bath time...we have some gorgeous Braithwaite kids thats for sure! But these two bathing beauties next to each other doesn't exactly scream "we are cousins"!

Look alike or not- they sure love each other! :)

(Ben was in there too, but I decide to be a nice aunt and spare him...)

bday trip to the zoo

For Kobe and Cashel's birthday, Brucie took them to San Diego Zoo!They had so much fun and since it was a hot day all the animals were laying right by the glass in the shade so they got to see everything!

My animals!

Kobe and the gorilla!

Resting those tired footsies with Summers friend Scott! Thanks Bruce for the fun gift!

need your vote....

So one day summer was taking a pic on her phone and i snuck up from behind to get in the pic...this is how it turned out! Scared her to death!

So she has been trying to recreate it with her in the back...which is scarier?

and the scarier isn't in reference to my inflamed swollen tonsils....

ya, i know

Sorry. I've been MIA. My life is insane. Especially April! Here's a little of what we have been up too....

it's my birthday yall...

So i turned 32 a couple weeks ago. 32. I looked in the mirror and thought- with everything I have been through in my life...all my life experiences I should be at least 62! So then I thought- dang I look good for 62!

thanks to my bruceatron for planning my little party! We went to Captain Jacks for some crab legs! De-lish-ous. party in my mouth. We laughed for hours and embarrassed approximately 7 waiters. something about a peppermill i think....

Some of my presents! My cute darling apron (i think it has magical powers that teach you how to cook...it better cause I feel I would shame it cooking top-ramen in it) Also, I got a ukulele. Thats right folks, a ukulele. It's one of those check-off-my-list-before-i-die thing. It's awesome. And I will be awesome at playing it. Just wait.

My cutie friend Jenni

My mom loves this look...she is proud she gave birth to me.

brucie and kimmie....Ceej and heather...you missed out.

My beautiful Valerie!

thanks to my girls for starting my year off right! I decided this shall be my best year ever. So far so good. the rest is yet to be determined....:)

Kobe got Baptized!

My sweet little Kobe Juan-Kenobi made the decision to get baptized on April 20th 2008! I am so proud of him. He really prepared for this special day and I know of his testimony. As his mother I hope that he will continue to pray and study and strengthen that testimony every day! I love you Kobe and I'm so proud of you. You are a great example to your sisters and I and we are thankful to have our little man of the house!

We had a great turnout...a little too good...we were praying for the fish and loaves miracle....But we are so thankful to all of you who came!! Especially all those who traveled to be there! You made it special for Kobe and he and I really apreciate it! so thanks and love! :)

Celebrating...chuckee style

For Kobe and Cashel's birthday I didn't have the time nor energy to throw an all out party so I told the fam to meet me at Chuck e Cheese and just partay. Good call on my part. Kids had tons of fun, had cousins that count as friends also and got to spend $20 in tokens to get a sticky hand and whoopee cushion. what could be better?

kim thank goodness got the memo to wear the same shirt as me...I always lose track of that woman and needed to be able to locate her quickly...plus it was fun to freak out everyone else there since we were both carrying around ben...good times.

Kobe wanted a cake of the beach...

cashel wanted a pinkalicious poodle....

Cashel got an ipod and Kobe got a surfboard and another guitar for guitar hero...the best part about having kids is the excuse you have to buy them presents that are really for yourself! :)

Kobe and Cashel's Bday!!!

Kobe and Cashels Birthday was on April 15th! I know...I'm a little late posting...
