Chiu family photos

We took the opportunity to take family photos while my brother and his family were visiting and my mom (unfortunately my dad wasn't able to make it last minute) as well.

 My mom surrounded by all the grand kids...it was so sad that my dad couldn't make it...we even had the photographer's husband try to stand in to see if we could super impose my dad's face later...but those pictures didn't turn out too well!

 Cute boys!!! Parker and Devon!

 My brother's family, his wife Kristina and his two boys and daughter Sierra

So cute...can you feel the love?

 Baby Sierra!

 so happy!

 Handsome Max!!!! How is my baby almost 7?!

 eight years...it's been crazy fast and fun...there's no where else I would rather be than with family!

 Eric showing Max some ninja moves

 This picture went Wyoming viral...it even got picked up by the Wyoming Bar association...hahaha!!

 

The girls had had it!

 Baby D...oh how we love this kid!!!

 Little Jim with his hat!

My beautiful, happy wonderful gifts from Heavenly Father, I could not ask for more!!!!!!!

Fun with the Party boat!

 My family came to visit this summer since we just had Baby D and were pretty housebound...

We decided to rent a party boat and pack a picnic...it was so much fun!!!

 Eric, getting some sun

 Eric holding the girls and Parker

 Peter and Parker on the inner tube

 My mom and a month old baby D relaxing on the boat

 Lia and her sneaky faced smile that a rare few get to witness!

 I hate this picture of me...but I posted it as it's one of the last known pictures of my favorite hat and Max may or may not be peeing off of the boat in this picture!!!

 Relaxing and soaking in the sun

 enjoying the lunch my mom packed for us!!!

 Chillaxin'

Me and my mom

Peter with Parker

I took each of the kids out...all went well, until I took Max...his weight was more than I could balance and he was shifting so much that he went overboard...knowing how he would be panicking, I jumped off to hold him and there went my favorite Cal Berkeley hat! I guess Max's well being was worth it!
All in all, such a fun day with the family...definitely memories were made that I will treasure! Eric and I are hoping we can make a visit to Wyoming a family tradition for the Chius!!

Summer Fun with dolls and playing Superheroes

Signing up for classes at the WWCC

Just horsing around...HAHHAHA!!!

while messing around campus,  I was inspired to plant my dream tree in our backyard, I figured if it can survive in Rock Springs (somewhere) why not have it be in my backyard...so, while we mulched the yard and completed the playground this year, I planted my own little pink flowered tree...hopefully we will look back in years to come and think fondly of the year we planted our big beautiful pink tree...or, if not, home depot has a 12  month return policy and if it dies...we can try again next year!

 We also enjoyed delicious fruits...Max, like me, loves MANGO!!!

The girls love Marley...hanging around while I shopped at Ross

The girls playing superhero with Marley 

I loved this selfie they were taking with Kiri's Tinkerbell phone, so, I thought I'd capture the moment for real! Summer fun with dolls and superhero dress up!!

A family Fun Color Run!

 My friend Chelsea invited me to do a fun run with her...seeing as how we are due four weeks apart...  I thought it sounded like a good idea...

 Eric took Max...which meant having to curb the fits...

 when he wasn't thinking about it, he had a great time!

 the girls loved it, too...but one guy went a little crazy with the blue powder

and the powder on me during the final stretch, we were concerned baby boy D was going to turn out to be baby girl D...

 Kiri was happy to get pink all over!

 we had such a great time and I was super proud of everyone...

 I was particularly impressed with Chelsea's kids...they were Machines! Probably because they take after their parents who are Crossfit machines!!
