Well to put it bluntly I have become a facebook junky. The time that I used to spend updating my blog has been taken up by getting on facebook. I know, it's ridiculous, but with the new club I'm a part of I have felt it be worth more to me to spend it there. I will still continue to post here on my blog it will just be sparatic. So if you want to talk to me, become my friend on facebook. Here is a mumbo jumbo of pictures and what we've been up to the last few months... I'll try to do them in order, but I don't know if I'm that good on here. Love you all!!!! And I think I did the pictures backwards and after loading them all I realized they are all of our kids... not one of Lance and I... oops
The 4th of July- I seriously am terrible at taking pictures. Just sitting here thinking of all the fun things we did on the 4th and these pictures actually aren't even from my camera. Pathetic. I need to take more pictures. We started our 4th watching the balloons, then headed to the parade, then had an awesome pool party at the most amazing pool and then took naps and then went to the Stadium of Fire, but the coolest thing is is my dad parked his motorhome in the parking lot of the stadium right in front and we were able to hear everything going on and we put our chairs out and had a salmon BBQ with all my family. Watched the fireworks right from the comforts of our own Motorhome! IT was fabulous
Bella still loves Grahaminsky
And yes, this is how I manage to get around. Bella converted the double stroller into a triple stoller all by her self. She asked me one day if she could sit in the front and it just works out great! Brilliant little girl she is creating her own seat.
We visited Temple Square...
We took our first road trip to Arizona to see Auntie Karen and Papa Smurf. Bella had a blast swimming and as you can see riding on the quad with handsome little Damon. Didn't take hardly any pictures but we all had tons of fun. We were even able to hang out with Erin and James a little. So Fu!!!
Lisa my beautiful sister had a little girl on Mother's Day- Sayla Ann Stradling (we call her Lala)

Great pictures Kara. I love how Bella converted the double stroller to a triple. My kids did that to mine too and it's SWEET!
Way to go on the Road trip, that kind of makes me sick to think about. haha
I'm with you on the Facebooking, it's so much easier too.
I just love your cute family! Thanks for the update! I LOVE the stroller craze! We've been figuring our our juggling act of 3 too, but I like your ride! Is that a certain model of the phil and teds? do you love it?
Kara- your comment was so sweet and sincere and seriously, I have not been blogging much lately (just updating every couple weeks but just not too involved in it anymore) but I couldn't wait to respond to your sweet comment...only because YOU ARE BRINGING BACK SO MANY MEMORIES THAT FEEL LIKE 10 YEARS AGO.
First off, I have the same picture of my kids in that window with the SLC temple in the background, how funny.
Second, your kids are adorable. You definitely are in such a different stage of life and especially the pace of life is different. In 2 weeks...all of my kids will be in school- 2 at elementary, and Ridge at pre-school. I will have a few mornings to myself with NO KIDS. THIS IS THE STAGE THAT IS BLOWING ME AWAY. In 2 years, all of my kids will be gone ALL DAY LONG AT SCHOOL. SAD, HUH?
Honestly Kera, you seem to have it together over there and I'm no expert at this mother stuff, however I do have a passion for what I do. The best advice I can give you right now, with out a doubt...is BOND WITH THESE KIDS EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY. Let go of other big projects you have going on. Sit on the floor with the, play games, snuggle with them and read to them, laugh at them, TEACH THEM EVERYTHING. Always be talking to them. Everything a child learns by the age 6, is crucial to how they will learn forever. Talk and explain to them about every little dinky situation. They are sponges right now...and last...
don't get down on yourself if you're having a hard day and the TV seems to be your best friend that day for the kids. Or they happen to have saltine crackers for breakfast b/c you were too tired to fix anything!! hahaha. I've had plenty of those days. Don't beat yourself up, no feeling guilty. Guilt only comes from the adversary!
GOOD JOB BUSY MAMA OVER THERE!! I WISH I LIVED CLOSER SO I COULD HELP YOU!!! :) Love ya.
Holy Hanna...obviously that was from me, Brooke. And you have my permission to delete that forever long post!!!
Its time for a new update!!! I need to see pictures of your beautiful kids!!! Even better i need to come see them!!
holy smokes I do need to update my pictures. Graham has tripled in size. Wow. Thanks Mal for the reminder
