Julie and Andy's Wedding

So I made the drive up north to my friend Julie's Wedding. She was gorgeous as brides tend to be. Our mutual friend Alan was there with his wife Kristen. They were pretty much the only people Michael and I talked to. I tried to take a picture of Alan but he has this thing about not being normal. So it took a few tries.

Shalyse's Surprise Baby Shower

As per Shalyse's request I've put this little video of her surprise shower that Gina and I threw for her. Her reaction was priceless however I don't think I got the best angle for the video.

Father's Day

So I learned something. I can fit 20+ people for a sit down dinner in my dining room. Wow! I think I should start having more dinner parties. If only I could talk Michael into it. I love having people around. It was great we hosted 4(Josh, Merillee and their 3 kids; Nichole; Melissa, John and their 5 kids; Jared, Charlotte and their 2 kids) of my 7 siblings, as well as Grandma and Grandpa Booren.

AC had a blast with his cousins
there were 12 kids in all.

Word just kind of wondered around eating strawberries

Women's Conference 2008

So since I put a picture in I figured I should probably also explain a little bit about the trip. We decided that we should have a sister's trip so six of the women in our family including all Booren sister's and two sister in laws went to Utah for Women's Conference at BYU. We had a lot of fun together despite a few bouts of PMS. We even did a temple session in Salt Lake on Saturday morning. Maybe we can do it again sometime.

Silly boys

I have six boys and one girl this week. My sister Melissa and her husband went to Hawaii and being the glutton I am, offered to watch her five kids. She mentioned that I don't have a car big enough to take everyone anywhere and I laughed at her saying, "I'm not going anywhere with that many kids, we'll just stay at home for a week." True to that statement so far we've stayed home. If the weather is nicer maybe we'll all walk to the park tomorrow. Right now the three youngest boys are playing on PBSkids.org laughing at the gas noises the teletubies make. Little boy laughter is so sweet. Got to love the fact that they'll laugh at almost anything. I have to remind the boys that their ideas of funny are different than mine when they ask how come you're not laughing.
