The Russell Clan

2010-09-08T09:27:00.000-07:00

This last weekend for Labor day we went camping with the whole Russell family! Jake and Brit came up with their sweet kids and it was such a blast! We camped in an area that Trav and his family would always camp at when he was a boy! It was a beautiful place! I absolutely love the outdoors! The kids had a blast and they all did very well! Rode some quads, ate a lot of junk food, went a some hikes and shot some guns! It was too fun! I love taking trips like this with the family and making memories with the kids!

2010-09-08T09:25:00.000-07:00

Four of the cutest kids you will ever see! I love each and everyone of these kids and their very different personalities that make them who they are! I am pretty sure that was Livy's pose in every picture.

2010-09-08T09:24:00.000-07:00

Me and my sweet baby girl!

2010-09-08T09:22:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of all the cute Russell grandkids!

2010-08-09T11:00:00.002-07:00

Today was my sweet girl's first day of school! They were pretty excited! Issy more than Abbie! I am so proud of these two girls and of how well they do in school! I will miss them and hanging out with them and having our silly days! Love you guys!

2010-08-09T11:00:00.001-07:00

Abbie is going into 5th grade!

2010-08-09T10:58:00.000-07:00

Issy is going into 2nd grade!

2010-08-09T10:51:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago we celebrated my two babies birthdays! Since they both have birthdays only a couple of weeks apart we usually celebrate them together! Brigham turned 3 and Livy 2! I can not believe that they are already so big! It makes me so sad! They are truly a handful but bring so much joy to the Russell house! I love these two crazy kids so much and feel very blessed for the opportunity to raise such sweet spirits!

2010-08-09T10:50:00.000-07:00

My sweet baby!

2010-08-09T10:49:00.000-07:00

Brigham, about to beat Pablo!

2010-08-09T10:46:00.000-07:00

Livy opening up the goods!

2010-04-26T15:42:00.000-07:00

Say hello to the newest members of the Russell Clan, Molly and Milly! I have never been a huge dog fan but I absolutely love the heck out of these puppies, even though I feel like I have a newborn right now with the early in the morning wake up calls, it is worth seeing them with the kids. We sure do love them!

2010-04-26T15:41:00.000-07:00

Sweet puppies!

2010-04-26T15:37:00.000-07:00

My sister and her family came down from Arkansas a couple of weeks ago to hang out. We had so much fun with them and their sweet kids! We took them to a park one day and here are a few pictures of the kids!

Solomon! This kid is the cutest! He is such a happy boy and there was plenty of him to love! Lol! Chunky boy!

2010-04-26T15:36:00.000-07:00

Little miss Hazel! Too cute!

2010-04-26T15:35:00.000-07:00

Poor Livy, her allergies were acting up really bad that day!

2010-04-26T15:34:00.001-07:00

Brig man!

2010-04-26T15:27:00.000-07:00

The kids playing in the sand box! I love Ruby's face!

2010-04-26T15:24:00.000-07:00

We took the older girls to Sunrise this winter for some skiing! It was their first time and mine! I have to say I didn't think I was going to like it. It was hard like I thought it was going to be but it was so stinking fun! We hope to make it a family tradition and go every year!

Issy really did awesome! She kepted going on the bunny hill all by herself! This kid has no fear!

2010-04-26T15:23:00.000-07:00

My hot snowboarder! What a stud! I have to say I have never seen Trav snowboard before and I was very impressed! He got some sweet moves!

2010-04-26T15:20:00.000-07:00

We were so proud of Abbie and how fast she caught on to it! She did so good, better than her mother!

2010-03-04T09:56:00.000-08:00

My two oldest girls and I went to go see Mary Poppins this last weekend. We had such a blast and it was so fun to get to go out with them! I had such a fun time and had a lot of laughs with these two! I can't believe how fast these girls are growing. I love them so much and only hope that we become closer to each other through the years! I love ya Abbie and Issy!

2010-03-04T09:54:00.000-08:00

One of our favorite things to do as a family is to go up to the family cabin in Christopher Creek! The kids love it there and we love being up there in the nice weather and away from the crazy busy life! Here are a few pics of the kids enjoying some snow and the outdoors.

2010-03-04T09:52:00.000-08:00

LOL! I love this picture cuz it is such a great picture of Livy and how goofy this kid is. She loved the snow! The cold did not even faze her! She would come into the cabin shivering and with freezing cold hands, but then instantly want to go back outside and continue throwing snow and running around. She is truly her fathers little girl!

2010-03-04T09:51:00.000-08:00

These two are so close! Livy absolutely loves her Abbie! And look...matching hair styles!

2010-03-04T09:50:00.000-08:00

Nice snotty nose!

2010-03-04T09:49:00.000-08:00

Park day with the kids.

2009-12-07T09:15:00.000-08:00

One of the kids favorite things to do is to go to Freestone and feed the ducks! I love going to the park with the kids! It was always one of my favorite things to do as a child. This picture is of the kids sitting on their uncle Eric's bench. Brigham is giving his "cheese smile grin." Crazy kids!

2009-12-07T09:14:00.000-08:00

2009-12-07T09:12:00.000-08:00

Abbie and Issy's Christmas programs.

2009-12-07T09:09:00.000-08:00

Abbie and her two best friends! Every year at Abbie and Issy's school they put on an awesome Christmas program, where the kids sing and play a bunch of songs. They both did such a good job! They both have such amazing voices already! I truly love to hear them sing!

2009-12-07T09:08:00.000-08:00

Issy posing with some lucky snowman!

2009-12-07T09:05:00.000-08:00

Trav and I on top of Stratosphere! It was so freaking cold! Trav rode the sling shot ride but I was too chicken too! It was a beautiful view but not sure if it was worth the $15.

2009-12-07T08:58:00.000-08:00

Trav and I in casino area of the hotel we stayed at. It was my first time gambling! I put a $5 in a quarter machine and one like $3! I know I am a big gambler! Good times though!

Catching up!

2009-12-02T08:18:00.000-08:00

So November just absolutely flew by for us! Trav and I got to go on our first trip together alone since our honeymoon, which was an absolute blast! We went up to Vegas for a convention for Trav's work! I will have to post pics later! Our Thanksgiving was really nice, we went over to my sister's with all my brothers and their families. The food was awesome! So grateful for such a wonderful family that really always has my back and I know will always be there for me and my family no matter what! I am also thankful for my little family also! My four awesome, amazing, funny kids! Even though we have a lot of crazy times they are such a joy in mine and Trav's life! I love them more than anything! And finally last but definitely not least, my fabulous husband! I am so thankful Trav that it was me who sat on your lap that first night we met! It has truly been such a joy to be your wife! I love you tons!

2009-11-01T19:17:00.000-08:00

Halloween was a blast! We went with the Wiltbanks and hit up an awesome neighborhood. The kids scored big on the candy! This is the gang Halloween night! Good looking kids, if you ask me.

2009-11-01T19:15:00.000-08:00

We carved pumpkins with the Wiltbanks for family night! Needless to say I thought the pumpkins would last for Halloween but they didn't come close! LOL! We had a fun time though.

2009-11-01T19:14:00.000-08:00

Issy's face it this pictue is hilarious. The girls didn't like how the seeds felt.

2009-11-01T19:13:00.000-08:00

Cowgirl

2009-11-01T19:10:00.000-08:00

I had to post this picture because I thought Issy looked so cute! Eden had a Hoe-down, however you spell it, for her birthday party! They had a great time!

Hoodie babies!

2009-10-15T21:04:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love hoodies! But I love hoodies the most on my little sweet babies! Look at that smile!

2009-10-15T21:03:00.000-07:00

My Rock Stars

2009-10-15T20:59:00.000-07:00

Trav and Brigs rocking out! Brigham loves to grab the guitar and rock out with his best friend, his dad! I love it, because he totally gets into it and starts dancing. He is such a stud! They both are! lol!

2009-08-10T10:00:00.000-07:00

Ok! I have to do some major catching up! So I have posted a whole bunch of pictures from July 4th, our vacation from Colorado and the kids B-day and 1st day of school. You will probably have to scroll down a bit. LOL!

2009-08-10T09:58:00.000-07:00

Another year has begun! My kids have been so ready for the school year to begin and I have to say so have I. I am so excited for my kids! I am so proud of these two girls. They always do so awesome in school!

2009-08-10T09:57:00.002-07:00

My beautiful 4th grader! Yes, can you believe that I have a 4th grader!

2009-08-10T09:57:00.001-07:00

My gorgeous 2nd grader!

2009-08-10T09:54:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics from Brigs's and Li vy's Birthday parties. Livy turned 1 and Brigs turned 2! Can't believe that my little babies are so big. I love them so much! They keep me constantly busy, but I enjoy every minute.

2009-08-10T09:52:00.000-07:00

Ok so I wasn't being a good parent and keeping an eye on my daughter so she wouldn't put her hand on the lit candle. So unfortunately this is Livy's one year old picture that we will be able to remember! Way to go mom!

2009-08-10T09:51:00.003-07:00

Brigs opening his many gifts! The kids scored big time! We won't have to do Christmas!

2009-08-10T09:51:00.001-07:00

Livy and Anslea are really into it! LOL

2009-08-10T09:48:00.000-07:00

Friends and cousins hitting the Cars pinata!

2009-08-10T09:45:00.000-07:00

We went to Manassa, CO for the Pioneers days in July! It was absolutely gorgeous there! Totally somewhere where Trav and I could live, minus the cold winters! They had a parade in the morning, a rodeo in the afternoon and a carnival at night and a durby, that was really fun. We had a great time. We also got to go and show the kids where my mom was buried and it was really nice and peaceful there. We definitely want to go back next year.

2009-08-10T09:42:00.000-07:00

Picture of the girls by my moms grave!

2009-08-10T09:41:00.000-07:00

My two favorite men in my life!

2009-08-10T09:38:00.000-07:00

Livy loved to eat the dirt while we were up there!

2009-08-10T09:37:00.000-07:00

Livy taking it easy on a picnic we took up in the mountains.

2009-08-10T09:36:00.000-07:00

Brigs and Issy!

2009-08-10T09:33:00.002-07:00

For July 4th we went over to our good friends house Lafe and Bea and had a cook out and let off some serious fireworks! We had a blast, literally! The kids had a great time and it was fun to see the kids react to the fireworks, even though we almost burned the neighbors house down a couple of times it was a lot of fun!

2009-08-10T09:33:00.001-07:00

Little Livy!

2009-08-10T09:32:00.000-07:00

Twizzy!

2009-06-10T10:57:00.001-07:00

We took Grandma and Grandpa Russell bowling last week! We had a lot of fun and kids did really great! Although Grandma kicked all of our butts, we had an awesome time. Thanks Janell and Bud!

2009-06-10T10:56:00.000-07:00

Good times!

2009-06-10T10:55:00.000-07:00

Good job Issy!

2009-06-10T10:54:00.000-07:00

Grandma getting a strike!

2009-06-10T10:53:00.000-07:00

Nice form Bud!

2009-06-10T10:49:00.000-07:00

Finally my little Issy lost her first tooth. We were a little worried there, and thought maybe we would have to make a trip down to the dentists to help in getting it out, but thanks to trav and a pair of wire cutters he got the job done. Lol! Thanks babe and good job Issy for being so brave!

2009-06-01T09:33:00.000-07:00

Today is mine and my love of my life's anniversay. Yeah! Three years and two kids already! I would say we are on to a great start! LOL! It has been an amazing three years. I can't believe how fast it has gone by already! I feel so lucky and so blessed to have such an amazing man in my life. Trav you have shown me the true meaning of love and how to love. It is so easy to love you. I feel that I do have the best husband on earth and honestly wouldn't change a thing about him. I look forward to sharing my life with you and growing old with you also. I love you Trav more than I could every say. Happy Anniversary my love!

2009-06-01T09:23:00.000-07:00

2009-06-01T09:21:00.000-07:00

This has got to be one of my favorite pics of me and my man! I always thought he looks so hot in a beany!

2009-06-01T09:18:00.000-07:00

Travy and me.

2009-06-01T09:15:00.000-07:00

Trav and I thought it would be funny to stick popscicle sticks in our mouths and take a picture with them. Yeah we are probably the biggest dorks. But we love being dorks together. Notice The Incredibles, the movie is on in the background, one of our favorite movies.

2009-06-01T09:12:00.000-07:00

Lol! Trav and I have so many of these kinds of pictures all the way back from High School!

2009-06-01T09:08:00.000-07:00

Yes! My hottie hubby!

My little nudist!

2009-05-23T18:18:00.000-07:00

We like to sometimes work in the nude at our house! Look mom, no tan lines!

2009-05-23T18:17:00.000-07:00

LOL!

School is out!

2009-05-23T18:12:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that the year is already over. This is a picture of Abbie and Issy at their end of the year singing program, which they did absolutely so good. I am so very, very proud of these two girls! They both did an awesome job in school with all A's and B's, no C's. Of course I have to brag because I am a very proud mom. They both are extremely smart. I love you two girls so very much.

2009-05-23T17:48:00.000-07:00

Before. Happy Olivia.

2009-05-23T17:25:00.000-07:00

After. You gotta love brotherly love.

My babies.

2009-05-03T16:47:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how fast this past year has gone by. Last time this year I was getting ready to have my #4. What a crazy journey its been for me this last year. So crazy but so much fun. Everybody that we have come across has pretty much thought how crazy we have been for having these two kids so close and I thought it was going to be absolute heck, but it has actually been really easy to handle these two. I feel so blessed that they are such good kids. Trav and I have had a great year with them and are looking forward to having many more with these two. We are even crazy enough to already be talking about #5 even. LOL Who knows. All I know is that I am so grateful for the kids that have been sent to me and for the opportunity to be a mom. My mother always told me I would never understand how she felt about me and the love she had for me until I became a mother myself. How true this is to me. I feel my love for my kids runs so deep there are no words here on earth to describe how much, nor do I feel that there is a love any stronger than a mothers love. I love my kids all crazy four of them.

2009-05-03T16:46:00.000-07:00

Livy getting so big.

2009-05-03T16:44:00.000-07:00

Yeah! LOL don't ask! Goof ball!

2009-05-03T16:43:00.000-07:00

Livy Lou

2009-05-03T16:37:00.000-07:00

Ok so I couldn't resist putting Isabelle's swimsuit on Brigham. Although I don't think his father was too impressed. But it gave us all a good laugh and I am sure it is not the last time that me or his sisters try to dress him up in girl clothes or put make up on him. Lol. Sorry Brigs your out of luck when you are outnumbered!

2009-03-25T17:15:00.000-07:00

So my kids had Spring Break last week and I came close a few times of shooting myself in the head! LOL Every two minutes it was "mom we are bored!" Well with times being tight with money especially when you have 4 kids, I thought to myself what were things that I did as a kid that I loved, and one of my fondest memories was running through the sprinklers! So I packed the kids in the car and we all took a trip down to our favorite place, Target, where we bought a few water toys. My kids played in the spinklers for hours! It was great! The kids were happy and so was mom!

Goofy girl!

2009-03-25T17:14:00.000-07:00

And Goofier!

2009-03-25T17:13:00.000-07:00

Ok, i seriously don't think my Livy can get any chunkier! I love it though!

2009-03-25T17:12:00.000-07:00

2009-03-25T17:11:00.000-07:00

My little man, he loves to play with chalk.

Pictures of the kids.

2009-03-22T20:58:00.000-07:00

Here are some random pictures of the kiddos. We truly feel blessed to have such good behaved kids. We also feel blessed to have such cute damn kids!
