Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!

James turned 35. I love you...

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.

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.

It's a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doing what we do best.

Easter Re-Cap

Well I'm behind but I blame the Pregnancy mind loss for that. We had a lot of fun this Easter. We started are Easter weekend with dyeing eggs at Grandpa and Grandma L's house on Friday. The boys had a lot of fun with their cousins.



The Easter Bunny also came to our house and left some goodies.

And my Handsome boys in their Easter best.

Kaeden

Archer (he doesn't like smiling for the camera anymore)

Then we ended are day at Grandpa and Grandma L's house with our Aunts and Uncles and Cousins for dinner and an Easter egg hunt.

I hope everyone had a great Easter....

What's at your House??????

We have Skeleton Cowboys around these parts.

Spring Getaway.........

We decided to take a little trip down South to visit James' parents. We had a lot of fun and got to get away from the snow for awhile.
We spent a lot of our time outside

Hanging out

And being crazy.

James even joined in on the fun.

We got so tired and had so much fun playing that when it came to having lunch we couldn't keep ourselves awake long enough to finish eating.

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for letting us come visit.

Random Things!!!!

It was "Crazy Hair" day at Kaeden's school. So We got a little crazy and colored his hair Red. He was so excited to go to school and show everyone.

Jakob finally lost his front tooth. It had been loose for about a month and he wouldn't let me or his dad pull it out.

St.Patricks Day Recap...

My little Leprechaun's...

Kaeden

Archer (was done with pictures)

We had are traditional dinner of Corned Beef and Cabbage and Green Jello and green colored Lemon Lime drink. I also got really creative this year and included some Rainbow cupcakes. The boys loved them and I even got James to admit that they were pretty cool so it was worth the time to make them. I might add them to the traditional dinner from now on.
