Getting readyBirthday girl...choosing hot colors!Left to Right: Ella, Kaylee, Anna, Lauren, Lark, Kennedy, Tabeitha, and Kaylee Cute silly girls!Making a wishFor Lauren's 5th birthday, she wanted to have a make-up party! What girl doesn't love getting their make-up done and finger nails painted? It's Lauren's favorite thing! So we invited a bunch of her girlfriends and had a "Glamorous Party"!!

I had my sister and sister-in-laws came and helped me with everything...they saved me! We stated the party with different stations (you could call them) you could get your fingernails painted, make-up done, make bead necklace, decorate a bracelet band, and decorate a bag to keep all your treasures in and take home goodies. The girls were all so cute and I think really enjoyed getting their make-up done and choosing their nail colors. After all the fun we had pizza, bread sticks, grapes and caprisuns for dinner. Then we opened presents! Then sang happy birthday and ate cupcakes. After the girls chatted and watched Tinkerbell until their parents came to get them. Lauren was in heaven with all her favorite things...friends and getting all dolled up! I had been so excited for this girly party. It was so fun to see Lauren with her friends and loving every minute! I can't believe my baby girl is 5! She is such a girly girl and I absolutely love it and even more love her!! Happy birthday baby girl!! (July 2010)

Grandpa Heslop

In July my family (Lynch/Osmond) had a big family reunion. Part of one of the days we went up to my Grandpa Heslop's house to help cut down a tree that was blocking his view and have lunch with him. It was so fun to see my sweet grandpa with all the great grandkids from our family. I just love him! Clint and Pete are exactly 4 months apart! It was so fun to have Malinda, Thad and Peter in town from So. Dakota!

sweet!

Clint has always loved watching tv since he was a newborn...seriously! Well what better way then cuddled up to your big brother! Zach has the magic touch...had Clint to sleep in no time! (July 6, 2010)

Happy 24th of July!!

I love fireworks! And love that Utah has 2 holidays in 1 month to celebrate with fireworks!! The 24th of July (actually ended up being 25th due to Sunday) we went with the Lind family to the Buzz game and of course stayed for the great firework show !! Even Clint enjoyed it!! Of course the best group picture I look like a cluster..but we have to include it! and yes Lauren enjoyed a BLUE ($6 buck mind you) snow cone and Zach a RED one!! Very patriotic! Thanks Ed and Becky for the fun time!

Screamer!

Clint discovered his voice and his favorite thing to do was scream! The best was when it sometimes even scared him!! (June 2010)

best mannered!

Zach attended 2 schools in 3rd grade. When we moved to Utah in March he went to Ridgeline Elementary. Here he is on the last day of school. Each kid in his class got an award. Zach's was "Best Mannered!" Of course made me one proud mama!!

Side story: About a month into moving to UT Zach needed a hair cut bad. Gerry normally cuts his hair but I never seemed to ask when Gerry had time and I got impatient and decided I would cut it. I have before but it sometimes...ok always ends up with a buzz. This was okay until now. I cut Zach's hair on the shortest guide. He was in tears. He said, "Mom I am the new kid still trying to make friends. I can't be bald!" Well that night I dropped him off at his friends birthday party. I walked in with him to sign some waiver thing for the activity they were doing. We were there literally a second and Aaron piped up, " Zach your bald! " I seriously felt so bad. Zach had to make sure he told everyone it was my fault and I messed up. I felt so bad. Funny thing when I was in the middle of uploading the pictures just barley, Zach came in and saw them and said, "Oh was that when I was bald!!" I had to laugh...at least his isn't traumatized by it now. And of course I will no longer be cutting...buzzing his hair!

my little crawler!

Clint was so happy when he figured how to army crawl..now he could keep up with the big kids! He army crawled for the longest time, I wondered if he would ever use his legs. Then he went to only using his legs when crawling on the tile. It was the funniest thing to watch his little legs move. Now he is quite the speedy crawler..almost walker. But for some reason it all make me sad...I wish he was still army crawling... so he would be my baby forever. I love every move that little man makes! (May 2010)

Thanks Amelia...we miss you guys!! Wish we had pics from that day...here Lauren learning to ride (March 2010)
