Well that sums it up from May to July! From bottom to top.

Summer. That's as far as she would go. Taylor way out in the water. She must be a fish because she never got out for me to take a picture.

Well...... It's been awhile!

My husband got a new guitar. He is like a kid at Christmas time. He works very hard so it is well deserved, BUT, he knows he is off limits as far as spending money for awhile.

Taylor's 12th Birthday.

Sorry Jenni, but I think it is a cute picture.

Having Fun!

The Awesome cup cakes that Jenni made into a guitar shape. She volunteered to make cup cakes and, of course, she is so creative! Thanks again Jenni! We danced, played games and hung out. Taylor is now a young women.

Spur of the moment Disneyland trip. Just the girls and I, along with my sister Tami and her girls. I just can't get enough of Disneyland.

Computer whiz!

So all of my kids are obsessed with the computer. It makes me so crazy. I don't mind the learning games or Disney/nickelodeon, but anything else concerns me. You would be amazed what children can find on the internet. Just from my own experience I have learned that my children will no longer go on You tube! It started out with the cute stuff and maybe even something from a cartoon, but people turn the innocent things in life into CRAP! SO BEWARE!

Anyways my three year old daughter got on the computer this morning and asked "mom how do you spell dot com?" I thought it was the cutest thing. Then she said "I want Disney, how do you spell that, d i.?" I was so amazed. I think she knows more about the computer than I do.

True Colors!

Erik being silly!

Brandon crying!

Maele did a great job on our family pictures. The kids did really well considering it was FREEZING outside. I can't wait to get them printed . There are so many that I like but can't print them all. These are a couple that I am not going to print but I thought they were really cute because it showed some of my children's true personality. I can't wait to show them to their children when they get older. Thanks again Maele for a great job!

42 and still counting! Christmas at the Sanfords

Traditional Family picture at my parents.

My mommy and I

My Daddy and I

The sisters!

Every year my family gets together to share the Christmas spirit. All 42 of us gathered at my parents house. In this picture we are watching a video from the previous year that my brother Mike had video taped. It is so fun to see how much everyone has changed in just a year.

Earlier that day my parents took all of us to the movies. We went to see Bolt. It was pretty funny. When we got back we had Panda Express for dinner. After that the adults played a game where we exchanged gifts. That was pretty funny because you can still from others and seeing there reaction was hilarious! Then all of the grandchildren open their gifts from my parents. This is a tradition every year. I enjoy having all of my family around. Thank you mom and dad for a fun filled day!

Taylor made it for the snow!

When it first started snowing , I called Taylor to tell her about it. She asked if it would be there when she came up here. I had told her no, being that it was 2 days before we were getting her. Boy was I wrong! She was so excited and was determined to make a snowman.

13 inches of Snow!

Neighbors snowmen.
