Stadium of Fire With Miley Cyrus!

I must say...this was probably my favorite moment of the entire night. These crazies came out of the sky with a death wish and then landed like little, baby chick feathers.

Also...very awe-inspiring. I love America/Americans!

These 10,000 little people performed a representation of every sport in the Olympics in seven minutes. The lady that choreographed this thing has years of therapy to look forward to.

Miley Cyrus cult members in action. (My favorite photo of the night :)

I was most impressed with her ability to dance and sweep the stage with

her head. I can show you, but talk to Brittany. She does the most accurate/acrobatic impersonation.

Brooke and Hannah

And...the domino photo finale to end a night of immense fun. One day we will see Echo smile. Just you wait. :)

My Lovely Little Joy

She took her first steps this week. I love all my brothers and sisters dearly and am thankful for this time I have to spend with them, but this little one melts my heart.

A Friendly Game

I hesitate to date this, since it would give away how far behind I am...oh well...July 4th. First, a tribute to my amazing sous chefs. That 4th of July meal would not have been possible. Thanks Sal, Geck and Shad. Then, we took the good times out to the side yard and played a little ball before the Stadium of Fire (next pics in the line up). I believe the lovely Echo (one of my personal favorites) was our photographer.


She drops back...scrambles (despite the obvious lack of defenders)...throws to her fave/money (only) receiver...and the crowd (Landon, Echo, McKay) goes wild!


Victory hug. Nice catch, Ether.


...and the fearless warriors/warriorette pose for a group shot. Love football.

Landon's Homecoming!

Just prior to Landon's heralded entrance down the escalator, we posed...in order! All the kids drew and colored these awesome letters. Lucky we have enough people in our family to spell "Welcome Home Landon!"


Oh! He is so handsome!


All eight of us with the Mama!


Landon with the parentals.


His first kiss!


Welcome Home Lando!

Sally's State Track Meet

I know. I know. I need to quit with the slide shows. Brit keeps razzing me. I just have soooo many pictures. Perhaps next time. I'm so behind! Hey...there is one single photo. Sally...you are simply amazing.
