whew. it's been..awhile.

i am back on the bandwagon. I have re-committed myself to this lovely blog and I am sad I have missed so much that has happened in the last..er....6 months. Because we all know I will never give a super good thourough update. seriously. I think a few pics of some stuff..and we shall move on.

My slacking was really due to this:
Shawna and I had a blast working our booth at Swiss Days in Midway a couple of weeks ago. It took us several months to build up enough inventory for it and it was worth the chaos. Well, to us it was....our husbands are glad it's over. ;) I still have several holiday boutiques coming up in the next few months..but I am happy to get back to my schedule for now.

so...with that excuse for my slacking... here is a super quick update. July 2nd my bubba brother was married to his sweetheart Makinzie:

The wedding was beautiful! The had a fun reception that was vintage-y and simple and lovely. The kids danced for hours. We ate yummy chicken and doughnuts. We had our pictures taken in a photo booth. And Makinzie sang a song to Chad. bee-utiful.

*look at her shoes. love it.

We took a fun family vaca up to Idaho. We stayed in Grandmas cabin in Island Park...it was a cozy blast. It was pretty cold..but we snuggled and watched movies and ate lots of food...it was perfect. Although it may not be exciting..or blog worthy news for 'ya all... we layed sod in the front yard. yep. 4 years later...it's done. That was a big day for the boyers....

We ended our '09 school year with a bang. Kendyl was in the talent show..she did a dance with some friends. And rocked it.

Both Brad and Kendyl sang in their end of the year performances...Stephen and I were very proud...

Another school year has started...and we have sent off another boyer bug. Av started Kindergarten and couldn't be happier. She loves it. She comes home singing and talking about her day and doesn't stop till she is in bed at night. She is making new friends and being brave. It is fun to watch them get big and do things on their own...but I miss them terribly when they go.

Ry has had quite the adjustment now too... and she is loving being the oldest. Mostly because she gets to drag Hadley around and make her do things with her all day. She is a random funny little girl. I asked her today what she wanted to be for halloween and she said "A bad bwirdie. From christmas. that eats cake in her bed. and is pink and white. and says chirp." the girl is nuts... but makes my day fun listening to her..

Hadley is following her siblings and cracking us up. She thinks she is as old as them and tries to do what they do...My favorite Hadleyism right now is the way she says her words... she calls her blanket her bacon. So when she is sad she just screams "Bacon!"... it's classic. who doesn't love pork 'eh?

We have really had a wonderfully awesome last few months.. these kids are loud and funny and wild and I am truely blessed to be their momma and watch them grow.

for now..this is good. I will post some of their funnies soon... love you my lovelies, dev
