::Summertime '10::

I know.. I know.. it's about time I update my blog! We're just LOVIN summer. Parades, swimming, fireworks, family, friends, movies, the carnival, etc. We've been busy.
I was released from being the 1st counselor in the Young Womens Presidency. The whole organization was reorganized. I'm pretty sad about it, I'm going to miss my old presidency/leaders a lot.. They're some of my best friends, BUT I was put back in Young Womens, now I'm the Laurel Advisor which I'm excited about, I love the laurels. I'm excited to get to know a bunch of new leaders who were put into Young Womens as well. We have Girl's Camp next week which should be really fun, I LOVED it last year. I'll be going back and forth to camp because my freakin cute 3 1/2 month old babes will NOT take a bottle, she loves to nurse!! I've never had a baby NOT take a bottle, it's tough for me and it takes a lot of time, but hey.. it's free and healthy huh??

Enoch has been taking the boys to movies, cause I don't love them and I'd probably end up standing the whole time holding Oakley. They LOVED Toy Story 3!!

I LOVE the 4th of July!! We had tickets to the Stadium of Fire & I was SOOO excited to take Enoch, he'd never been. I had to take Oaks cause she only nurses, like I said before, but Enoch's cousin & his wife were nice enough to watch Jett and Bryton for the night. They had a BLAST!!! Thanks again Joe & Shelli!!



Well, I was all prepared for The Stadium of Fire. I fed Oakley in the car before we went inside the stadium. I even pumped a bottle in case she was STARVING. I got her to sleep and it started. We were lovin it. Carrie Underwood was singing the National Anthem and the jets flew over and were SO FREAKING LOUD!! They scared Oakley REALLY BAD! She was crying and crying......... and crying and crying and wouldn't stop! I tried getting her back to sleep, feeding her that dumb bottle, putting ear plugs in her ears, etc. NOTHING WAS WORKING. So I went into the bathroom and was NURSING HER!!!! By then Carrie Underwood had started the concert and I was in the stupid bathroom nursing. I was SOOO sad and so close to tears. I felt so bad for my baby who was miserable. I talked to Enoch and we figured if she didn't like the jets, she wouldn't like the fireworks so we left early :( I love love Carrie, ever since American Idol.. Hi, can I be her?? She's STUNNING!! Anyways.. my sweet baby fell right to sleep in the car and we were on our way to get the boys and go home.

How could we get mad at this lil sweetheart? She is such a good baby. "Oaker Doker" "Chunka Munk" "Pretty Princess" She giggles, smiles, coos, chews on things, almost rolling, HATES binkis and bottles, just started using a bumbo, loves her swing. We can't get enough of her. I'm pretty much obsessed with my kids.




On the 4th we went to Midway up to some of our family's house for dutch oven dinner, popcorn, movie outside, etc. It was gorgeous up there and we had so much fun! Yes, we all wore our "4th of July" outfits 2 days in a row.. who cares??


All of these babies are born within 6 months.. kinda fun..



Who watched The Bachelorette?? Who do you want Ali to choose? I'm all about Roberto & Chris. What do you think about the whole Frank situation? What's gonna happen in Tahiti?

My camera broke. I'm really sad. These pics are either taken from other people's camera's or from Enoch's phone. Maybe it's a good thing I don'thave a camera.. there would be a TRILLION more pics. hahaha

To all of you Father's out there HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! (I know there are a few of you that do check out a few blogs here & there)
I'm so lucky to have chosen THE BEST companion to take on this "so called" journey of life with me, and a HOT one at that! He is such a great Dad. He works very hard to support us and make sure we're always taken care of. He puts us first before anything else. He loves the Gospel and has a STRONG Testimony. I'm thankful for the Priesthood that he is worthy of and blesses our family with in so many ways. He is so honest. He loves to serve others. Ok.. he's pretty close to perfection!! I love him.


We'd also like to wish my Dad "Grandpa Jon" a HAPPY FATHER'S DAY as well. He looks too young to be a Grandpa huh? Everyone thinks he's my brother.. nope.. he's my Dad and a Grandpa of 4! He's always been an incredible Father figure. Always been a hard worker and was/is always an amazing Patriarch of our home. I loved growing up knowing that I could always go to him and ask him for a Priesthood blessing. My kids just adore him. he was the first one to make Oakley laugh too.

&& can't forget my Father-n-law "Grandpa Vaka"... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!! We don't get to see him that often because he lives in LA, but we miss him dearly and when we do see him.. we LOVE HIM! Jett and Bryton pray all the time for Grandpa Vaka. He is THE sweetest guy you'll ever meet. He too is such a hard worker and honors the Priesthood. I'm grateful that he raised such an incredible son and was a very good example to him growing up.

MY ALLERGIES ARE RIDICULOUS!! I just don't even know what to do.. My eyes itch SO BAD, I can't wear my contacts or make-up, I'm hideous with my swollen eyes. My nose is a faucet, and raw from blowing it so much. My ears itch, my throat itches, my nose itches... my whole freaking face itches!!! AHHHHHHHH. I HATE allergies. I've tried everything. NOTHING works, I just gotta "stick it out" basically. Any suggestions? I can't take anything that makes me drowsy (obviously, I have to have energy to take care of 3 kids 3 and under) and it has to be something I can take while nursing. HELP ME.

Is summer not your favorite season?? I LOVE IT!! BBQ's, parades, fireworks, rodeos, laying out, sun shine, sun glasses, vacations, camping, pools, watermelon, popsicles, family time, etc..

Oakley was blessed on Sunday. Enoch blessed her and did an amazing job, it was so great to see him be so tender with Oakley and give her a name and a blessing. We had family in town, lots of food, and fun! Thanks to everyone who came and supported her and helped out on this special day.

My little brother Jaxon just finished up his baseball season. We loved going and watching him and supporting him, especially Jett & Bryton! His team finished 2nd place in his league. GOooooo Diamondbacks!!





Daddy's lil Laker girl!! (Yes, I like the Lakers...just not when they play the Jazz!! Enoch LOVES the Lakers, he was born and raised in LA. I know some people say ya can't be a Jazz fan and like the Lakers, but I do. It's like I like Utah Utes just NOT when they're not playin my BYU Cougs. I know.. Is there a rule? Whatever. NOT THAT big of a deal!!)


Hangin out at Grandma & Grandpa Melton's...BRING ON the tans!

Isn't she sweet? We can't get enough of her. We're pretty much obsessed with her...



Yup.. we pierced her ears!!

Her in her first swim suit & you KNOW I had to put a big matching bow on!

T.Ray & Oaks

All 3 kids asleep at THE SAME TIME!!!

We HAD to put T.Ray in the picture, he felt left out! All 4 of the Melton cousins

My sweet cousin Sage Ingersoll lived for about 10 minutes then returned to our Heavenly Father. She had Trisomy 18. I look up to my Uncle & Aunt for being so strong. The funeral was one of THE best ones I've ever been to. The spirit was so strong and it was a bitter sweet day. She looked perfect! She was BEAUTIFUL. "Families can be together forever through Heavenly Father's plan..."

It's that time again!! WaHoo...

Yup.. this week's the season finale of The Biggest Loser!! Who's been following it? I'm just SOOO EXCITED to see all of their transformations!!

Who do you want to be "The Biggest Loser"? Who do you want to be in the "Final 3" Koli or Daris?

Koli- Obviously we love Koli, he's TONGAN! We want him to win! How GREAT did he look "makeover week"? CHeeeeHoo! Can you believe how well he did on the "jacob's ladder" challenge? OVER 2 hours??

Daris- What the fetch was his hair during that "jacob's ladder" challenge after his makeover (okay, I'm a hair stylist maybe I just know I could do something so much better with that mop) He did freakin awesome running the marathon! But his binging at night while he was home for 30 days and gainin 2 lbs??? :( No Bueno. You think he's ready to do this on his own or will he just gain all of the weight back? He's a sweetheart.

Michael- How much better does he look from the beginning?? WOWSAS!! I like his hair since the makeover. I feel SOOO bad for his lil sister. Poor girl. How sad was that when he had his freak out attack with Bob saying how fat he still is??

Ashley- aka Miss Piggy ;) JK!! I'm such a BRAT! She's been doing AWESOME and props to her for being the only girl in the finale. She's come so far. What the fetch was her outfit makeover week?? UGH. I'm happy for her though. She seems to feel so much beter about herself huh?

This show is just SO inspiring, especially right now for me when I'm starting to work out again and lose my baby weight.

Are any of you excited for Jillian's show comin out? She's a freakin BOMB trainer and has a BOMB body.. but she scares me! I'd prefer Bob to be my trainer over Jillian. Are they both gay? Just wondering.... :/
