more sea world

SOOOO....today I decided to venture out to Sea World with the kids.  I survived! YAY!  I was all alone with all 3, and I was really nervous!  But we did it--all without anyone getting lost, having a tantrum, or getting burnt!  It wasn't all roses....like how sydnee had to go to the bathroom a zillion times, and I had to strategically place myself so that I could see the bathroom door AND the sleeping baby in the stroller at the same time....all while not losing anyone or getting our stuff stolen.  Success! We did have fun, and now we're exhausted!! 

impromptu photo fun

Lexie was looking so cute, and being so funny that I decided to snap a couple pics! Of course, the older two couldn't be left out of any pics!! HAHAHA!  Look how big my baby girl is now!!  I love this funny thing she's doing with her tongue! So CUTE!

Happy Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to my husband, dad, father-in-law, and grandfathers!!  I love you all and am so grateful you are all in my life! My kids look up to you, and so do I!  Here's to you!

Sea World

Last tuesday matt took the day off (we had just gotten home from our 28 hr drive!) and took Brian and Sydnee to sea world to go swimming! This was their first time back at the pool this season, and, of course, they LOVED it!  Hopefully we will be able to go at least once a week this year....but I'm nervous about having 3 kids to look after all by myself! 

Cunningham Party (June 13,2009)

On Saturday, June 13, we had the annual Cunningham summer picnic---I am so glad I got to be there with my grandma Katie!! I just love her, and she is such a wonderful example to me!  She is actually my GREAT-grandma, so that makes her my kids' GREAT-GREAT grandma.  How cool is that to still have GREAT GREAT grandmas around?!?!  I LOVE IT!  Here are a ton of pictures from the party--again, we missed Kate, Derrick, and Kylie SO MUCH!   

This is our cousin, Payson, carrying Sydnee.  They just love each other!  It's so cute!

Anthony's Wedding (June 12th, 2009)

Another wedding! YAY!! On June 12th, my other cousin, Anthony, got married!  In the morning, Mom, Dad, Matt and I went to the Bountiful temple to see Anthony and Nikki get sealed.  What a wonderful way to start the day--the ceremony was beautiful!! I loved all the things their sealer said!  It was my first sealing too, so that was even more fun!  That night we went down to the reception, and partied the night away! hahahahahah! just kidding-kinda.  we stayed late--10pm (with all the kids mind you! yikes)  But we were all having so much fun we didn't want to leave!  There was dancing, and BOY DID WE DANCE!! hahahahah I will try to post a video, because it's awesome! LOL!  Sydnee wore her flower girl dress from the night before, and I don't believe she left the dance floor the whole night--except maybe to get some grapes! ;)  We had a great time, and were so happy to be a part of that also.

Matt and I at the temple!

This is how we feel about life these days--CRAZY

Lexie didn't really know what to think in there--it was dark so her eyes are all big! I love it!

Chelsy's WEDDING!! (June 11, 2009)

Yay!  Chelsy got married!!  We got to stay up north a little while longer so we could go to the wedding.  I am so glad we did-- we got to see lots of family, especially grandma sheryl and grandpa dave who came down from their MISSION in Canada to be at the wedding!!  That was awesome!! I miss them so much, and I'm so glad they got to see my kids!  Sydnee was the flower girl in the wedding, and she did better than I thought! I thought she would for sure burst into tears when she saw the big audience, but she did great--she just forgot to toss the petals!! HAHAHA! oh well!  Chelsy was, of course, beautiful! For the reception, they had cupcakes and ice cream! Gotta love that!  I'm so happy I got to be there to see her and Austin get married--however, we were missing my sister, Kate, her husband, Derrick, and their daughter, Kylie who couldn't come over from Alabama.  We missed them SOOOO much.  

Chelsy and I before the ceremony--a little teary!
