Special Times...

Our Little Emi turned One!!! I can't believe that she is growing so fast. I feel like I say that a lot but not doing this for awhile makes it more true. Her dad made her a cart that the other kids pull her in and she loved riding it it.
 Then of course we had chocolate cake... I will just say yum. Looking at these makes me want to make one right now. It was delicious. She had a blast making a mess and yes...there were a few pieces that made it in my mouth before cleaning it up. It was too good to waste!

 She thought so too. She ate and played and then even needed to see what it felt like between her toes... we took off the socks and let her go for it. You only turn one once, right?

 This reminded me of the movie Matilda...that huge chocolate cake. Well she had fun and made us all laugh.
She had fun opening a few gifts too...well she had some helpers but she figured it out.

BAPTISM DAY!
Our Jeffery has turned eight and was baptized in July with his uncle Sam. It was a wonderful day for him with all our family and friends to support them. It was definitely special for the two of them to be able to do it together. 




I had the opportunity to introduce Jeffery. He said that I had to since his dad was baptizing him. I wanted to but I had lost my voice the day before and I tried to tell him that no one would be able to hear me but he wouldn't have it any other way. So I introduced him with no voice and he had the biggest smile and those few moments were some I will cherish. There was such a sweet spirit in the room when Jeffery received the Holy Ghost. I hope he will remember that feeling for the rest of his life. What a wonderful day.

We had a lunch with the family at a park and they had a blast playing games and playing in the canal. They wanted to go fishing on their special day too. So we went up the canyon and walked along the river and the boys...in the river. It was a very nice day.



Story Time....

Summer is Here!

So we are doing a kids bowl free thing that includes 2 games everyday all summer and it has been so much fun. We have gone every week and the kids love it. So fun to watch them improve and have fun as a family.





 Emi loves to stand there and watch the balls come back.

This is the latest project that we have accomplished...a chicken coop to hold our Six...wait no ...11 chickens...





 We saw this one night...If you look close the larger hen has it's wing around the smaller.


We may have 3 roosters from the first batch of chicks...so we went and bought 5 more to add to our family. They are so much fun and this has been a great experience. Love it!

Birthday!

I can't believe  my little boy is EIGHT! He has been very excited for this birthday and I know he had a blast. That smile is worth the late night putting together his gift....



 This is the face of a suprised basketball player seeing his bball stand. He played for hours the next few days...



 We went for a morning hike and fishing. He even caught one and we had a picnic by the stream..
 We went to the Spiderman 2 movie and then to dinner. We had quite the party with family. We are very blessed to have all of them.
We came home and had a homemade cake, a homemade ice cream cake that was delicious even if I did make it. What a great day to be a mom and experience the memories with my eight year old. He is a great joy in my life. Another day of loving being my kids mom!

Living the good life..

 Baseball season was so much fun to spend at the ball park. The kids love seeing if they will catch a foul ball.


 News anyone?
Even Hockey was a fun thing to experience. The kids loved it all!

 Daddy's little helper...happy helper I might add...

 So we went crazy and bought some chicks...6 of them. The kids would wrap them up and hold them like a baby...so cute.
This was such a cool exhibit. So great to show the kids and see how the world was thousands of years ago. It was long for the kids but definitely worth going. We will do more stuff like this.
