Camping, Jamba, & Cupcakes!

I just had to put this picture in of Ryan that I found on our computer... isn't he so cute?!!!!!!!

I have this picture of Sophie as a screen(okay, I should say... had... because I just broke another iPhone...2 in 3 weeks, yikes... love you Ry...:) saver on my phone and every time Sophie looks at it, she starts giggling. Man that kid is cute!!!!!!!

Ashlie's new room is "Cupcake" Theme, so we HAD to make "pupcakes". We had so much fun baking together... love you Ashlie!!!!! Ashlie helped me clean the entire basement today and she was amazing!!!! When we were done she said that cleaning up toys was more fun than playing with them, what a sweet heart!!!!!

For our Call Family Reunion, we went camping with the Roper's, Call's, and Cornelison's up to Sawtelle Resort in Island Park! We had perfect weather and so much fun four- wheeling, crafting, swimming, and playing tennis!!!!!!

Chilling in the hammock with my girls! We have got to get some trees around here fast, so I can set it up outside!!!!!

The Cornelison and Jones cousins came and the girls just had so much fun together... crafting, dancing, singing, .... never a single dull moment and such great memories!!!!!! WE love cousins!!

WE always love to go to The Playmill in West Yellowstone. The show we saw this time was High School Musical... oh baby...!!!! If you really know our family, you know this is a staple at our house, we love musicals and pretty much everything on Disney Channel :)

We had a Grand Opening Celebration at our Twin Falls Jamba Juice! It was so fun and we had a great turn out! We had Rev Gym there helping people to be active and some massage therapists... it was a blast! We always love going to visit Twin Falls!

(What good buddies, and good helpers, I love my girlies!)

April & Bryndon's Wedding

So, I love all of my cousins to pieces, but I must say... April is one of my faves...(probably because I called her "Baby April" until she was 12 :) She and Bryndon were married this last June, and we got some fun pics... they had a 1950's feel and decor and it was so fun!!!!

Landon and Sophie... too cute!!!!!!

Natalie (one of my other faves :), me, and Shan

I wish I had a picture of their cool blue green 1950's car... so cute! Congrats Apes!

Sophie and Grandpa Charlie!!!!!

Fun Family Time!

The next few posts are going to be of random things, but, since I print off this book each year and use it as a journal/scrapbook... I am trying to include a few special times we've had together! Life is good, obviously, we had a very busy and blessed summer! We did not waste any time, we just worked hard, traveled a lot, and had fun, fun, fun!!!!!! However, now that we've had 3 days of school, I can see my laundry room floor again, I've been playing catch up on chores all summer... and don't regret a minute of that... check out the pics to see what we spent our time doing...

Fun times at the HHS cheer camp! Maylie and Brianna actually tried out for a competition dance team this summer called Infinity Dance Studio. They are amazing and we are excited to see what fun new things they learn this year with dance! We just went and visited the new studio tonight... it was awesome!!!!!!! I'm so proud of May and Brie for being brave and trying out for the team, they will do great, they are very creative and beautiful dancers!

Monday through Thursday... every week... this last June... we had a baseball game for either Maylie or Brianna! Wind, sun, rain, treats, friends, blankets, Jambas, snow cones, wind... good times... good times... way to go May and Brie! They had fun!

WiCkEd!!!! Oh yes! Ryan and I were lucky enough to go to Wicked in Boise with his Mom and Dad and Brock and Lori. We had seen it before in San Fransisco and loved it! We were so excited and loved it again (even though we were on the very back row...) it was still amazing!!!!! (and I love going on dates with my honey :_)

Dance Recital!

The girls have been doing dance with a new company this year called, Infinity Dance Studio. They have really loved it! They are doing great and ever since they got their new tights, they have not stopped dancing around the house! So fun to be a kid! I'm proud of all of you girls, you danced beautifully at your recital! It was fun to have Annie and Grandma and Grandpa Call their to watch too! Love ya! I hope you always Dance! Jules

Sophie

We just love this little baby to pieces! She is such a great baby! She is now 8 months old, it has gone by quick, but, we have enjoyed every minute! She is on a pretty good routine and is a great eater and nurser. When I put her in her crib for a nap or bedtime, as soon as her silky blanket hits her face, she is a gonner! So precious! She babbles and is rolling around. Her hair looks like a mullet and when we pull up the sides into piggies, we call them "mullytails". She's pretty famous for them :). Her hair looks like it is lightening up a little on the top, not sure what color we will end up with, but, she still has here 20 white hairs (birth mark), ya, she probably has super powers too, jk! Well, I was going to post a bunch of other stuff, but, I just had too many cute pics of my Sophie Baby! Love you!

Easter Time!

A new running store opened on the corner of Sunnyside and Hitt. Jamba came and handed out samples. It was a fun day, man, that bananaman is sure a hotty!

Our ward had an Easter Egg Hunt, luckily our friend Summer came and helped keep track of my kids! Especially Sophie, they are buds!

We had a really fun time at the hunt and if you are wondering why my kids bags are so big it is not because I wanted them to get the most candy :) it is because I did not get down our Easter box this year because we are in the middle of finishing our basement, paint comes tomorrow, yeah!!!!!!

I just love this girl!

And this girl!

And this one too!

We had a wonderful Easter and are especially grateful for the Savior's atonement and resurrection this year as Ryan's dear cousin and "budguddy" E.J. passed away two weeks ago. It has been very sad and hard, but, we know that we will see E.J. again. Ryan spoke at his funeral and did a beautiful job. We are praying for his family everyday!

We have been enjoying the outside just a little bit, no thanks to the Idaho windfestival that goes on this time of year!!!! I actually did mow the lawn today, which I'm hoping will get it growing and greening up! I love to do yard work!!!!!! Next week, we will prep the flower beds and gardens and fertilize (I have the next 6 weeks all planned out) we will see how well I actually follow through!

Let me just add how grateful I am to be a Mom to these sweet girls! They are all my best friends, I feel so lucky to get to hang out with them all day! Maylie is doing so amazing in school, she is reading at a fifth grade level! She is such a great helper around the house, she always clears her dish and helps to clean the bathrooms, and is enjoying activity days! Brianna is learning how to read, she gets better everyday! She is full of life, and is super helpful with Sophie, they are buds! Brie is also very helpful around the house! Ashlie is a smarty, she loves preschool and she loves to go to Grandma Colleen's house! She is very good at obeying and is such a joy to be around. Sophie is almost seven months old, it is crazy! I just can't get enough of that kid, she is the most optimistic baby I've ever seen! Even when she got her shots she still tried to smile! The wind could be blowing in her face and rain pounding her and she is just a' grinnin' away! She lights up our day everyday! As for Ryan, we just love him to pieces! He is staying busy with both of our stores and he is doing a great job! We just launched Fruit and Veggie Smoothies that are amazing, you have to go try them!!!!!!! As for me, I am good, just playing some tennis, working on finishing the basement, and loving being THE MOM!!!!!

Love you all! Jules

Sophie is 6 months!

I'm not sure where time goes these days... usually something really fun and important :).

But, we are sad to say that Sophie Rose is 6 months old! Not too sad though, she has been such a great baby. We are all fighting over who gets to hold her all day! She is pretty good at communicating what she wants too, so there is no guessing games (nursing, nap, diaper change, get out of my face :) I love that little cutie! She lights up our day each and every day! The girls are all great helpers and each have a special way with Sophie. It is great to watch them all take turns being "Mom". She is a good sleeper and eater. She is still pretty petite compared to her boy cousins her age, but, she is super healthy and looks just right!

I finally got Sophie's room half done. My friend Tasha made the bedding and curtains, my friend Chy (check her vinyl blog, outspokeninteriors.blogspot.com) did the vinyl, and I made the wall sconces from scratch (sorry, had to give myself a tiny prop for completing a project, lol)

Sophie loves to play with her toes and sucks on them if she can!!!! It is so cute!

Sophie loved being inside her Daddy's jacket :)

Here is Ashlie showing off her latest Tinkerbell fashion!

We had a surprise party for Ryan's Mom's birthday in Salmon. She is such a cute 60 year old! I hope I'm as rockin' as she is at 60!!!!! Love you Mom!

We also had the ribbon cutting ceremony for our Twin Falls Jamba Juice! If you are ever in Twin or passing through, make sure to come visit our store! It is on the corner of Blue Lakes and Pole Line Road. It is a cute store and we have tons of new awesome products like Fruit 'n' Veggie Smoothies that are delish! Also, flat-bread pizzas, and tons of new yummy baked goods!

Hope all is well in the world this day! We enjoyed listening to conference! I love to hear the prophet speak! We are so blessed to have the gospel! I told Ryan today, the next place on my list to go (after New Zealand, and The Great Wall of China...) is Rome, Italy to see the new temple! How exciting to see the Lord's work unfold before our very eyes!!!!!

Love ya! Jules
