Tyler & Mckenzie's wedding!

We've have had quite an eventful few weeks. It's started the end of June Jayden was sick one week and then Jennilyn got a fever the next week on Thursday and Chris's family flew in on Friday night for Tyler & Mckenzie's wedding on Saturday. Sadly I forgot my camera, so thanks to everyone for the pictures. Jennilyn decided to cry through the whole ceremony. Thanks to Chris's cousin, Paige taking her so I could stay! But that was only the beginning of our day! Jennilyn thought she'd cry pretty much all day.
Mindy and a friend sang a song at the wedding. It was really beautiful!
Thankfully the weather decided to corporate for us and it was a beautiful day! NO RAIN!! :) After the wedding I took Jennilyn for a ride in the car to HOPEFULLY get her to fall asleep. And it worked! She took a quick cat nap, but it at least made her happy for a few hours. Before the reception I took the kids to my brother and sister-in-laws house for a nap! Thanks Jared & Jess that really saved us and we had at least one happy kid all night. Jennilyn was just ready to be by herself! It was overall a great day! Congrats Tyler & Mckenzie! We're so happy for you!

A late post! Aubrey is HOME!

I found this post and I never posted it. So here it is. Just 4 months late!!So, my sister Aubrey came home from her mission in the Philippines Manila mission on February 25. It's so good to have her back. She has the coolest accent. I always wanted an accent, but no such luck on my part. But I LOVE LOVE her accent. We all went up to the airport when she flew in and it took her seriously forever to come out. Some Elders came, but not the sisters. So finally they made it down. YAY! It was so good to see her.
I found these super cute shirts that say "I'm the big brother" So Jason and Jayden wore those and then Katie Jo and Jennilyn both have matching PJ's so they wore those. So we had our twinner kids. So cute. Thanks for humoring me Jess..

All of the Turnbow Sisters!!
All of the Turnbow girls
Me & Marie & her little boy, Edward (Aubrey & Jennifer's old roommate from Rexburg! She came into town for Aubrey's welcome home! It was so good to see her.)

Jayden just loved Edward.
My mom has this cupboard behind her couch that doesn't have anything in it. Jayden has found it and it is one of his favorite places!!
Jayden blowing kisses
Jayden had just got hurt and saw these cute little green hats on the mantle and wanted one to make him happy. It worked!!
It was such a fun day. It's fun to get lots of family and friends together!!
We're so glad to have Aubrey home!

Memorial Day!

Memorial day we decided to go have a picnic. It's was fun. Jayden wouldn't sit still for 2 seconds of course, and he had a blast.
Luckily the weather did corporate for us. It was very nice! Then we went to the movie and both kids were wonderful and slept through most of it. We saw the race to witch mountain with the Rock. It was cute! I have to admit there were a few more jumpy spots then I thought there would be, but it was fun. We also learned that day that Chris has allergies. The joys of having your own yard. So I have forbid him to ever mow it again. It's just no fun for me to see him miserable like that.
This was my best picture of Jayden

Spencer Graduated!

I can't believe that Spencer has graduated from High School! I guess he'll always be the little kid to me. It was very nice. He was in the first graduating class from the new Salem Hills High School. They had it out on the football field and had a guy parachute in with the American Flag. It was cool! Congrats Spencer! We are so proud of you!
Spencer!

Spencer has called Jayden Chunk since he was little. He's just always been my chunky little boy, but now Jayden always responds to Spencer!
He really likes Spencer, as you can see here. He helped him open his gifts. And of course I taught him well, Go for the money bud!
After mom and dad had a BBQ at their place. Dad working the grill!
Jayden had a blast hanging out on the tramp with Aunt Camilla and all the kids!
And of course some cool tramp pics.
Oops. Lets try that one more time.Much betterCongrats Spencer. Welcome to Adult life now!

5 MONTHS OLD ALREADY!

I can't believe that Jennilyn is 5 months old already. She has been such a good baby! Although I think she's getting teeth, so her life has been pretty miserable at times these days. But she's growing up a ton. She's becoming more and more alert and it's fun seeing her little personalty come to life. She loves to giggle and flash that toothless grin of hers! And I love it too.
Isn't it amazing how different she looks with her hair in a ponytale? She has this very long piece of hair in the front, but the rest of her hair hasn't really been growing. So we're taking advantage of the little spot of hair!
She just loves the high Chair!
We are just loving having Jennilyn in our family! Jayden gets more excited every day to have a play mate! He tries really hard to get her to play with hime sometimes. Luckily I'm able to catch him before he tries too much!
The other day I was doing laundry and had left Jennilyn on the floor. Jayden was in and out of the laundry room, and then he came in once and said "Heavy!" I was like what's heavy. So I followed him out to see what he was trying to pick up and sure enough he went right over to Jennilyn and tried to pick her up. LOL! He keeps us laughing for sure! And we just love him!

What happens when you take the city boy to the country???

Really, do I need to say anymore?

A few weeks ago we went out to Talmage Utah to help my sister and Brother-in-law brand their cows. Jayden was so not a fan! He cried from the second we got out of the car until we left pretty much. It was a very exhausting day for him. He kept seeing his daddy over there with those noisy cows and thought something was going to happen to him. So I was pretty much NO help. But we had a fun time.
I tried to plugging Jayden's ears, hoping that would help, but no such luck!
Anne put the seats in her van down so that the kids would have an area to play. I did spend most of my time in there as you can see!
The kids having fun playing in the van!
My mom had my brothers kids, and they were so good.
Steven had Chris give the cows one of the few shots they needed. It was the first time that Chris has ever branded cows, and he did great. He always loves having new experiences and learning new things! He was a little nervous at first, but on the way home he even told me he would probably do it again! Good work honey!!
Look at that concentration!
Anne was kind enough to help out when Jennilyn needed me. Needless to say, I have no clue how anyone could raise kids alone! It would be quite the challenge! Jayden kept saying that he wanted to go over by his dad. But whenever we would take him over there he was scared to death to be in the middle of all the noise! (The cows don't like being separated from their calves. Can you really blame them?)
The mama cows
Jennilyn was quite the trooper. She was pretty good the whole time.
Camilla getting ready to go help with the calves!Thanks everyone for helping with my kids. You are all the best!
