Pictures of the kiddos

Here's some photos I just took with my new camera. Thought you all might want to see an update of the kids, especially Mace, he's growing so fast and I'm too darn tired to document it! That and every photo I take of him he has a grumpy cry face in, except the one above. Click on the grouping of photos to see them better, it looks much better bigger! I love you guys and miss the heck out of each one of you! It's 10:20, my baby is asleep, and I should be too but I'm stuck doing laundry because my kids have no clean pants to wear. Brig wore Pajama pants to school today...I can't let him do that again tomorrow. Mindy need SLEEPY! Yes, I am a dork. Have a great night sleeping all snug and tight in your beds. Love you girls!!!

Laurie

It was so good seeing you, and Mindy! All your beautiful children. Thanks to you too Becky for driving me down there. Friday night was so much fun for me my sweet sisters. Having family around you is all you need. I found what looks to be either a spider bite, or hole in my skin. it's weeping blood. I may have to go in and get it checked. It's about the size of a half of a jelly bean. I sure hope it doesn't get bigger or go crazy. Say a prayer it'll clear up. It just scares me to see a hole in my skin that keeps bleeding and bleeding. There's no depth to it, but some extra prayers would work. I love you my sisters.

This is for Donna

I posted these on facebook, but since I know Donna isn't on facebook, I wanted to post them here too so she can see her new nephew Mace Leighton Bush. He's sure been a sweetheart. He isn't colicky in the least bit, but is up at night to nurse. I love you girls, my arm is feeling much better. We just said our nightly prayers and I just want Wee to know the kids always remember to pray for her when it's their turn. Love you all very much and miss you!
Mindy

Laurie there is a very special Angel in Heaven praying for you!

Best Memories Growing Up

Mom in her curlers on the porch with an afghan... waiting for us. ... Her grocery buying...eggs, milk, bread, and flour... lol one guess who liked the homemade brownies better? She always worked so hard for us. Wearing the same pare of pants for years. Same skirt and tops to church for years. Drawing me a picture of my uterus and phalopian tubes using cows as the subject. Also her working so hard when it came to Christmas. I know she worked 2 jobs for quite sometime. I don't have the memories of her being a stay at home mom, but I loved the time I spent with her.
Becky taking me and mindy out to get swimsuits. I got a hot pink one. Sooooo cute! thanks Beck Also you were so sweet to us younger kids. You've been there for the whole family through all the years and still is the one who gives it straight to you...even if you don't want to hear it.
Donna, giving me a tough head. The way you used to do our hair for school...would pull it so tight we had mini facelifts. Also donna saving me from Casey Rassmusin on the bus. You were my hero
Mindgey All the times we would drag state street just as innocent as could be. Hanging out with both of our first loves. Christian Martinez...the gay man. It was just you and me in highschool with a bunch of fake friends. You were always my bait when we would go out. You were quiet but always got the boys. Also, living iwth you during Eagle Point, taking Joshy to church with you... Those are the best times of my life.
Daddy, how mad he'd get if we got hurt. The beautiful blessings he would always give us on a moments notice. He once drove up to Boise when I had pneumonia and viral pericarditis...gave me a blessing and then drove home. He was so sweet.
Laurie...you were so much fun to play with. Squeeking your bedroom downstairs just to hear you running across the floor from upstairs to kick some butt. I don't know how you likved in that room with shag carpet...you knew spiders had to be under every piece of it...lol As long as it's not mice eh/'
Jimmy... he's THE BEST brother a girl could ask for. He used to work so hard, then come home, make us dinner and take us places. He was always so sweet. His genuin love for us and us for him was great. He made me so proud with his wrestling days, and serving his mission. Man I looked up to him! I still do! And boy can make some pizza!!! You may get a pinch of nose in it...but it's the best ever!

Thanks Hodgie for the pic on Facebook! Thought I would post the pic here! That little boy has the most perfect face I have ever seen on a newborn!!!

Congratulations Mindy and Brig
