Here are Prince Cooper, Princess Averi, Princess Katie, and all the Princesses with their Fair Godmother and the Princes.

Party on Party People!! Thanks to everyone who made Elli's Birthday so fun! The Prince's got swords and then Princess's got tiaras. Even the moms got into the fun with tiaras. The more royalty the better right?

Elli turned 2 over the weekend. Oh how the time flies! We had a Princess & Prince Party! Complete with a Fairy Godmother (Grandma Jill) who painted faces and granted wishes. She was a great sport. All of the kids loved her. We decorated cupcakes and there was DANCING! Elli loves to dance to Pink, so we all had to do it. Oh the ways you'll make a fool of yourself for your kids. Yes, I led the dancing party! Elli got 3 princess dresses and a tutu. She's set for awhile. All her friends and cousins came dressed up and made the party a success. Happy Brithday Elli!!

Here she is getting ready for her party! She couldn't walk in her princess shoes very well so she opted for her favorite boots. She's all girl!

I love this little Stinker Bug!! She certainly has her opinions, she's as stubborn as they come, but a pure entertainer! She sings, and dances, and loves dress up. She's one of the brighter stars in my life. I love you Elli!!

We had Averi's blessing this last weekend. It was so much fun!! We had so many people here. I stopped counting at 60. It was fun to have everyone here to support us. Special shout out to Wendy, HOLLA, for all your help with the kids and keeping me sane. Thanks to everyone who brought food, delicious! Thanks for all your love and friendships. You all helped make it a great day to remeber. :-)

Happy Halloween! Glad the kids had fun, glad it's over! Gave away all their candy, brushed their teeth and called it good! Elli is obsessed with the monster teeth! She's really good at keeping them in! Had to take another pic. Here are all 3 kids and dad in their costumes. (Steve is a trophy husband for halloween. I am working on the trophy wife part, but my costume wasn't ready for Halloween, but we'll gidder done.)

Pics, pics, pics. When I had Parker I took TONS of pictures. I thought he looked so cute in every outfit, so I had to take a picture of him. With Elli, she was my first girl, so the clothes were so much cuter and I took lots of pics. Poor little Averi is going to think she wasn't every a newborn. I am such a slacker. The first month my excuse was the post natal fog. Now, I have no excuse. Is it just me or does it get harder the more you have? Well here are pics of Averi.

These are the most recent pics of Park and Elli. They are growing so fast! Elli can say whatever she wants, speak in about 4 word sentences and her favorite phrase is, "Damnit Parker!". I think she gets it from the neighbors! :-D

Here are my little monsters. Whatever Parker does Elli has to do also, and if you don't let her WATCH OUT! She's a little spitfire who tells it like it is. We love them both. This is Halloween Week. We haven't survived it yet. We've had 3 parties and 2 carnivals and it's only Thursday. I'll get Averi's pic and post it soon. Ta Ta

This is a photo of me at 9 1/2 mo prego!! Whoa Nelly! Get this baby out! They started me and after a gruleing 2 1/2 hours of labor baby Averi arrived. This is the latest photo of the Finley crew!!

We had our first visit to the ER in Evanston, WY in June. Elli fell off a tire swing in the mountains and we had to rush her to the hospital for 5 stitches. I don't know who was more tramatized her or mom!

We spent a weekend with the Crowther Family in the Uinta's at a friends cabin. It was great!The kids were especially excited we were doing a rendition of Lord of the Flies and the Dirt Children.

We have a new addition!! Averi Adalyn Finley arrived on 8-22-8. Coming in at 7lbs 21 in long. She us a sweetheart and I think we'll keep her!

This is Parker's Mini Me!

No, they are not posing! They are really that happy. It's really that fun at our house! Come on over if you don't believe!!

We went to see our good friends the Rowley's for New year's. Here we are climbing Red Rock. When we left there was a snow storm in Ogden, when we got there, we wore short sleeves! That's my idea of a vacation!

Just another day in Park's imagination.

Parker and Elli on Halloween!

There are several things I never thought I'd say to my kids; "Don't write on your sister. Don't roll your sister up in the rug. Don't poke your sister's eyes." But I find I have now said them all and more!

Parker IS the next American Idol!!

The Sweetness of the family!

Park gets his amazing singing abilities from his dad!! Gotta love it! ;)
