...Today I Wish...

Today I wish I was driving down Ocean Parkway with this girl...

To lay out all day!

I wish I was walking down a beach with this sexy man...

Then taking a nap with him in the HOT SUN!

I wish we were getting these boards ready...

To take down to West G...

To surf with these ladies!  

I wish I was doing all of that with this body..

Then ending it with a fire at the beach!!
I guess Ill just have to wait 4 more months for some sun and settle for 7 Peaks instead of the beach!

...Visit from the Summer's...

Last week Shae came to visit us for the day with her two boys! She was in town visiting her family in Delta, so we had to meet up.  It was good to see her and catch up, see Mason again, and finally meet Kai! Shae and I met in New York, met two boys from Florida who were living in New York also and happened to be cousins, and then we each married one! Kind of funny! It was a fun day with them, and we were so glad that they came up to see us!

Rylee waiting for "Mashon" to come.


Poor Mason didn't know that he was coming to a house where sharing is a foreign word!

Baby Kai!
Don't you love his eyes?!

Rylee, Kai, and Mason

We met up with Shae's little brother at Chilis for lunch. It was a fun lunch with everyone, but just another reminder of why taking a baby to a restaurant is not a good idea! I'm talking about Rylee... not Shae's kids.

Cutest little boy!

Mason and Rylee going to Toys R Us


Its so funny to see Mason cause he looks like a boy version of his mamma!

These two had a fun day with each other!  

One more of Kai cause he is too dang cute!
Thanks for coming up Shae!
See you in Florida in May!

...LarsenPalooza...

In case you don't know what Lollapalozza is I tell you!

Lollapalooza is a 3 day, eight stage music festival.
Its pretty much a 3 day party!

When my brother comes into town it feels a lot like Lollapalooza, except the 3 day party is a 7 day party! I'm not complaining its always a lot of fun, but by the end you are exhausted, beyond full of food & snacks, and just want to go to your own home and sleep!

This year was no different! We had something planned with my family every day  from December 19th-Jan 2nd! I have to say that Chasey is a trooper cause he totally came to every single thing with a smile on his face. He might not have braved the cold and gone sledding with us 3 times, but he waited happily inside for us all to get done! I didn't get pictures of everything, but here it is....

LARSENPALOOZA
2010!!!


One day we got all the girls together and let them play at Summers house. All the boys went to Katie's house. They are all getting to an age where they play really good together.


We decided to take the 4 wheelers up to the ranch. I had Rylee in front of me and Abby Sue in back of me. I really prayed that nothing happened cause I did not want to walk back in 3 feet of snow by myself with 2 kids. Luckily Mary came up a little bit after us.

Doesn't Sue look so cute in these pictures?!


The ranch looked so pretty!


The snow came up to Abby's knees.


Mary and Abby Sue.

Me and Ry.
Even thought that cat hat is pretty darn ugly, it totally kept her entire face warm on the 4 wheeler.

Marys perfect snow angel







I love this girl!

Its so funny to watch her walk in all her snow clothes!

who knew that 4 adults and 5 kids needed so much stuff to stay warm in the snow!

A little warmer activity we did was bowling. It was fun... hectic... but fun. We had 6 adults and 6 kids all bowling! It was Rylee's first time and she loved it!

Ella

Don't Rylee's shoes look so cute!

Her first time bowling.


Larsen Girls.
Abby, Mary, and Cassie




We tried getting a family picture of our shoes... this is how it turned out.

She did not want to leave without a ball.

Dustin, Mary, and Summer.



After bowling my mom treated everyone to Bajios.

My cute niece Sayla.

My SIL Kaite is the Clipper Queen!
She is the only one that can clip Rylee's nails ( and every other child's nails) without having her scream!

Watching Despicable Me.

Getting the 3 babies ready for bed.

Cass!

The cousins being crazy!





We took all the kids to see Tangled. I love that movie!!
I didn't know how Rylee would do. She sat through it once, but I didn't think I would be lucky enough to have her sit through it twice.... she did though!

Jacquline. Sue, Ella, and Kenna.

All the kids that went.
We missed Mat and Shani's kids!

More playing in the snow.













Ended the night with fireworks!
It was a great time with everyone!!
