I need to update...I know.

A while ago on a certain Friday I was supposed to be studying for a test that I had the next morning,

but not just any test it was a final, no THE final. 

(Art History... don't worry I aced it.)

I was in my room memorizing ugly, and some not so ugly, art work, and then these cutie pies came along and wouldn't leave me alone. 

They needed Aunt Kim time I could feel it. 

"Aunt Kim when are you gonna be done?"

I kept telling them in a minute.

Eventually they all ended up in my room with crayons and paper waiting for me to be done.

Before I knew it I was coloring and cutting away with them & I took these small fries out to play with our fine stachs.

We chalked up the whole driveway & I mean the whole driveway.

I  know I'm pasty in all of these photos. 

Don't worry little ones it will quickly change.

These Girls

We might have been chilin' all day today or I might have been doing homework all day while they've been triflin' without me. It's fine, I'm old and have finals. 

I take little success breaks. 

"Yes, I've got one line down, you've got 5 minutes, go ahead let loose."

Many of you may be wondering where on earth I've been of late.
I died.
No seriously though finals have been a beast. 

Lovely life I live. 

Don't worry about the contest.

 I skipped April because I've been schoolin' it out, in May it'll start up again & Jess, I haven't forgotten about you, your drawing is almost complete. There will be pictures posted in a short time.

& I may be spending a small amount of my time with a certain boy, but that doesn't need to be mentioned.

It's been well over my 5 minute loose time. Peace.

Michelle, Grace, & Emma,

Do you see this?

We're gonna do it. Except better.

Prepare to dance ladies, cause it's gonna happen, I'm bringing my video camera just for the occasion.

Basically prepare to party, cause we're coming to town.

Michelle you're definitely in on this, you can't get out. You're stuck.

I love these little kiddos & they came to chill with me today.

I had to get a picture of Katergator in these jumbos, everytime I asked if she could say cheese she had to put her glasses on first.

They're my best friends.

now that's love.

text received from Michelle.

Tyler said in his prayers tonight
Jesus, I'm a sunbeam, and I've been learning a lot about you.
and I love you sooo much!

it melted my heart.
they must be doing something right.

Lyds

I got a picture.

Isn't she the cutest?

She makes me smile every time I see that cute face.

Ouch.

We've all been oober sick.

Sadly its been going around the family.

Its the plague.

Except we didn't die.

It was close.

Merry Christmas Eve!

We had a party.

This Christmas Eve was one to remember.

We had a slumber party. It's fine. Be jealous.
We started off with the true meaning of Christmas, and then of course a little saved by the bell (I think know they fell in love).

Christmas Pictures.

I was craving to take Christmas pictures of a baby,

so we dressed up Audrey gave her a candy cane,

and snapped a few.

I begged Phillip to let me take pictures of Lydia too, he went down under and never ventured back up.

Durák.

For Cuteness

Say "Hello" to little Audrey Lyle.

Shes pretty fresh in the world,

& I got to take her pictures.

Lucky #7

Sorry for my long absence. I've been at my favorite place in the whole world.

But before I get to that...

Let's tell you everything that lead up to the fantastic weekend.

We went to Captain America and man I LOVED it.
Mostly because I got to where my nice, heavenly, hunk, of a shirt.

& mostly because of the trailer at the end. Do NOT leave early watch the dang thing!

It's worth sitting through all those credits. Watching every person being named that participated in the film.

Before the movie me, peps, and tambamalamb chatted it up from black socks and education to crying through toy story 3 which apparently peps did.

Who is freaked out by toy story period? 

Me, duh.

He was appalled.

I was too.

We got home late. It was a late showing.

We stayed up to pack until, well, ummm, 2:30.

Shut the front door. I know.

We got to St. George. I babysat the kiddos while Tambam and Michka went a little (five hours) grocery shopping.

The little runts were pretty good, besides Ty taking a bit of bread when I told him not too. I pride his jaws apart and made him spit it out. What a great aunt I am.

I had my reasons.

Then off to the ranch, singing, playing, riddling, all the way there.
Lucky 7 Ranch has to be my favorite place on earth. period.
We went shooting, horse back riding, four wheeling, rhinoing..., Swimming in the pond which includes the bike jump, rope swing, and the coolest zip line that my life has experienced. Then there were movies on the shed, tea parties, card games by the nice extremely burning warm fire, yummy food, coloring competitions, camping, the little ones playing with me, and little Clara's baby blessing. Not to mention seeing the Stopa's in this oober small town.
I'm just sad that I didn't think about picturing all of it for you folks.

Good thing my sisters brought their cameras :)

Here are only a few of our fun times!

Tambams in both the pictures with the kiddos. Not because I didn't want pictures with them, but because she hogged them.

Obsessed

She found them! She found the stash, but we hid them soo well I thought.

Half of these poor loved creatures were given to me when I was in the hospital for many many months (some of them are missing, but I remember them very well and their names).

She's Obsessed with theses buggers.

She thinks they talk to her.

I used to too. Thanks to my older syblings.

Eventually I became afraid of their beady little eyes. I had to kiss each of them goodnight so they wouldn't attack me during sleep time. Ask Tam it's sad but true.

School Shopping

She's staying with us for a bit.

We took her out for school shopping.

It was more then fun.

Worst Pictures ever.

Cutest model ever.

Photo's

My first real photoshoot! I loved it!

This little girl is the cutest thing ever!

Man oh man I love her!

Little Lydia

I'm in love!

Today I got to meet this little one! Isn't she just the cutest little thing?

She had TONS of hair...and that's an understatement.

Phil. Katrina. You did good.

Sorry for all the pictures. I couldn't just pick one.

MJ & CC

I thought these girleos were going to stay a lot longer then they actually did.
I had fun with these small fries while the party lasted.
We went matress sliding, sprinkler under the tramp, made yummy food, summer sno, watched good movies, watched lots of Dora, and people wonder how I have the Dora theme song memorized. Blame it on the girl below.
Later with all the cute grand kids we...
tea partied it up, went to the park, zoo, the mall and bought necklaces, went out to lunch, had a birthday party, had an all day long water fights (I won of course), monkey ball, rock band.
Yep it was a party all week long.
Oh and...

Isn't she the cutest ever?
Getting the balls out of that gun was pretty rough.

I'm missing you little ones! Love you guys forever! Come visit me again kiddos.

Oh the Cuteness

I was snapping, shooting, or clicking whatever you wanna call it....again.

Just because I like it. That's right I like it.

Plus I kinda like all the little itty bitty ragrats running around.

They're kinda my models, kinda.

I got to take care of these two small fries and other kiddos.
I canNOT get over how freak'n handsome that little boy is, this chunk is all cuteness. That is all. 

The b-daY

It was my little mans birthday.
That's right my little man...
It wasn't really his birthday but we celebrated early so we could keep our tradition:
Make the cake he desires, take the same picture ever year with a different cake.
We've done it every year for this special small fry.
This year Miss Tam and I are grown-ups and now have a job, so we practically begged on our hands and knees for this little guy to come see us in our good ol' home town & he did! :)
So we gathered the kids around and had a water fight of a life time...Mike!
played, made the cake, decorated, had pizza, opened presents and sliced into this beast ugly of a cake, but don't let the look of it fool you, it was pretty fantastic if I do say so myself.

Love you my true main squeeze!

Sprinklers

Today we dressed in our swimsuits and headed out to the sun.

We jumped until our feet were like icicles:

1. because the sprinkler was like Antarctica itself.

2. because the wind was blowing a little.

We headed inside to feel our belly's full of hot cocoa. Yummy. Just what you need on a cool summer day.

Not normal? Yeah, maybe teeny bit.
But freezzzzing booties in swimsuits with a warm cup of hot chocolate equals perfection.

Lou drank a little bit of her drink, then got off of her stool.

Later she came back, looked inside her cup and exclaimed "Where my marshmallows go?" I told her that she ate all of them. She told me that she didn't Sara's did. Little does she know that she's the marshmallow thief.

For The Love!

I love this little girl!

Her big words get me... fantastic, ridiculous, spectacular. I know, how does a little girl know such words? Well you can blame me, yes I'm her personal dictionary. Okay for real though blame her mother.

So I'm buying a Canon 20D...I know I'm little miss spender. Don't blame me, blame it on the money that's burning a hole in my pocket (does that saying even make sense?). Anyway, I'm pretty dang excited to have pretty pictures such as these, that are always going to be making an appearance on my blog...I hope that taking pictures doesn't have any skill involved, just point and shoot right?

Lisa can teach  me yeah? or Michelle? maybe Chrissy? 

What do you say ladies, are you willing to spend a little more time with  me?

For those of you that want the dress thats modeled below, it's available at Forever 21 for 10 dollars!

Get off your bums and go get one!

There's lots of colors, get whatever your little hearts desire.
