Recap Again

Life has been crazy with 4 boys. So I decided it was time to update my blog. Archer turned 3 on January 30th.

Jakob has always been very creative and has always had a great imagination. So I wasn't suprised at all when he came up with this for St. Patricks day.

Talmage hanging out in his exersaucer.

Talmages first taste of solid food.

Everyone loves to hold Talmage Jakob and Talmage

Kaeden and Talmage

Archer and Talmage

Coloring Eggs for Easter Talmage not sure what you do with the eggs. But then he has his father as an example.

The Easter bunny didn't miss our house.

Kaeden lost his first tooth on Easter night.

Things are crazy but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Pinewood Derby

Jakob came in 2nd place at the Pinewood Derby race.

James helped Jakob decorate his car. Jakob wanted a Batman car.

Playing Catch-up

Well this 4th kid has definitely put a lot of things on hold. So I'm going to try and get caught up on what we have been up to.

Halloween:
We had a lot of fun on Halloween. This year Archer was really excited about the whole getting candy thing. He would run up to the door and say Trick or Treat then after they put the candy in his bag he would take it out and ask me to open it. Needless to say Archer didn't come home with much candy.
Jakob was Luigi,Kaeden was Mario and Archer was Bowser.
James' work takes picture's on Halloween.

Talmage was the cutest cow.


James ran his first Marathon in Mesquite on Nov. 19th


We spent Thanksgiving with Chuck and Tammy this year. We had a lot of fun and are so excited that they live closer to visit more often. We had great food and a lot of fun things to do.

I especially loved all the willing hands who wanted to hold Talmage. Also to Sarah for changing Talmage's Diapers.

We blessed Talmage on Dec. 4th. He was so cute in his blessing outfit.


We went to Temple square to see the lights.



We spent Christmas at home and Santa did not disapoint. We had 4 (1 wasn't sure what was going on) very happy and excited boys.


Here's to hoping I stay a little more updated next year. Maybe that should be one of my New Year Resolutions.

Our New Addition

Talmage is Here!!!!!!! We had Talmage on Wed. September 28th.

Back to School

I don't know who was more excited me or the boys to be back in school. I love the routine and so do the boys.
Kaeden's first day of 1st grade:

Jakob's first day of 3rd grade:

Summer Re-cap

Well things have been different this year with me being pregnant but we have been up to some things.
I was the Young Women's Ward Camp Director this year at 7 1/2 months pregnant(Crazy I know)I had a lot of fun with the girls.


James Ran in a 10K on July 25. After we watched the parade.



And we have spent a lot of time in the Canyons this year.

Being with cousins.

And having Fun.

Family Time Outdoors

We decided to take a drive up the mountains and get away from the city for a while.
Archer sporting his fisherman hat:

We started out the hike with no snow.

Then came upon this. I've never seen this much snow up here in July.

The boys had a lot of fun they thought having snow was pretty weird with it so hot out.

My 4 favorite boys in my life

And to end our adventure we saw a moose on the way back down.

Big Milestone

Jakob was baptized yesterday. He was so excited and we had so many Family members and friends there to support Jakob. We are so proud of Jakob and for the decision that he made to be baptized.

Spring Re-cap

I have so many things going on right now that I can't even keep caught up.
Jakob and Kaeden's birthdays are 4 days apart so James and I did a crazy thing and did 2 separate parties on the same day. (Crazy we know)
First Jakob turned 8 on May 26th. He wanted a Scientist party. So my Uncle Anthony came and put on an experiment show. The kids loved it.


All the kids got Scientist glasses and a Name badge.

Next Kaeden turned 6 on May 30th. He wanted a Mario party.

I made Mario hats for the boys and had Princess Peach crowns for the girls.


Kaeden graduated from Kindergarten.
