Fun Visitors!!!

Ryan's parents came and stayed with us on their way to Arizona for Baylee's birthday party! It was so fun to spend some time with them. Brady and Easton did not take long to warm up and loved having them here. When I was taking this picture they were laughing so hard, they think the flash is funny. They were even giving them kisses while they were here. Easton would say "some" and then pucker his lips! It was so cute! Thanks Gary and Sue for coming to visit! We are excited to see you in Utah soon!

Funny Kids!

Last night we had our friends and Geoff and Aria over for dinner. We love hanging out with Scott and Shea (I especially love holding their brand new baby Hadlee) and Geoff and Aria are always fun to have around! After dinner and playing we turned on Barney and all the kids gathered around to watch. Luckily I have enough random chairs that they each had one to sit in. My kids love their Uncle Geoff! They all wanted to sit on his lap and have him read to them. What a good sport!My kids have been so funny lately. They are naughty and whiny all day long and then around 8:00 at night (when they usually go to bed) they become perfect angels and are so fun to be with. This happened again tonight. They were making me laugh so hard putting these on their heads and laughing at themselves. They would put them on over their eyes and yell, "MOM!" I love watching these 2 play together and have so much fun!

My New Love...

Dear Swiffer SweeperVac:

Thank you for coming into my life and making it so much easier to clean my tile floors! I love that you pick up every bit of dust, hair, and smashed cheerio on my floor. You were worth every cent I spent on you!

Love, Sarah

Poor Kid

Today Brady was playing with the door and somehow bonked his head really good. He only cried for a minute and then I said "shake it off" and he wiped his hands together like he does and ran off and played. I went to check on him a minute later and he had this huge goose egg. The pictures do not do it justice. Of course since Brady was on the chair Easton wanted to get up too. They were being so funny and would look at eachother and laugh every time the flash went off on the camera. I love these boys!

They say it's your birthday...

There are a lot of people I love that celebrate their birthday in August so I thought I would just do all my birthday wishes in 1 post. Here it goes...1. My brother Jake's birthday was July 31 but I was gone so I added him to this list. Happy belated birthday to a wonderful father and brother. We love you and are so glad you live closer so we can see you more!
2. My sister-n-law Lindsay also had a birthday at the beginning of August. Lindsay is one of my favorite people. She is so fun to be around and can always make me laugh. She gives me hope that I can have a girl even with these McGiven genes!!
3. Kylee Holland turned 6 today! She is about the cutest and sweetest girl around! She is a wonderful big sister and cousin and is a great helper. She made my birthday when she called me over and over until she got a hold of me to wish me happy birthday and sing to me!
4. Happy Birthday to me! I needed another picture so I added myself :)
5. Laila is almost 1! She is a darling girl and we love living by her and spending time with her. I love when she pats my back and gives me kisses! She is so fun!
6. Baylee is almost 1 too! She is so cute! I have not been able to be around her very much because she lives in Arizona but I love being able to watch her grow through pictures! She is an adorable little girl! We love her!
7. Stephanie is one of my best friends in the whole world! She has always been a great friend and can always make me laugh! We always have fun when we are together and I have so many great memories with her!
8. My brother-n-law Tyler is also a great guy! He has a funny sense of humor and makes me laugh :) He is a wonderful father and a great priesthood holder.
9. My grandpa's birthday is at the end of the month. He is one of the most incredible men in the world! I have always had a very special relationship with him and miss seeing him as often as I used to. He is a twin and he loves being around my kids because of it! He and my grandma are very supportive of all their grandkids! I hope you have a great birthday grandpa...we love you!

Happy birthday to all these special people in my life!!! I hope I didn't miss anyone??
