Brian Head Over-Nighter!

My sister and I took our kids up to Brian Head for a quick over-night stay at our sister, Cortney's timeshare condo. It was fun, but a little hectic. I don't know why we were surprised that taking four children up to stay over night would be crazy. Brian Head is beautiful, but our condo was straight out of 1982. We brought a ton of DVD's to watch with the kids to max and relax, but there was the biggest VHS player you have ever seen instead of a DVD player. Also, Beckie pulled a Home Alone-style fall on the ice and got hurt pretty bad. But all and all we had fun. It is one of those things it will be more fun to look back on and laugh than in the moment. But, we can't complain -- we still got away from house cleaning for a day!!

Jamie and our groovy microwave

Beckie was very confused with the technology

We had a blast in the pool and enjoyed the snowy scenery

The kiddos

A very chilly Sami Belle!

Maddox did NOT like this picture! I didn't want to torture my baby with a picture like this, but Beckie thought it was worth it!

Bloomington Science Fair

Sami Belle excited for her first Science Fair.

Trevor worked hard on his project making a rocket launcher.

This was Brock first Science Fair.

Boston's an old pro at this!

I am so proud of all these kids! They all did so good placing in their own grades. Trevor has done the Science Fair all three years he has been in school. It has made him feel so good about himself. We love doing it! Sami was excited to do it after watching Trevor the last two years. Sami has the talented of having a blast doing anything in her life. Life is a party in Sami's world. Brock and Boston live across the street from us and we love them so much. They are such good friends and excellent examples on my kids. We are blessed to have them in our lives.

Justin is "2"

Justin Loves the movie "Cars"

He got a new Mack he can put his billion other cars in.

It doesn't take long for a little boy to figure out how to hit something.

Having his dad bounce him beat any present he got!

My baby is "2"! It sounds so dumb to say but it is true time flies. Justin is my most easy going toddler that can climb like a wild jungle cat. He gets hauled around everywhere and hardly says a peep, then you look over and he has climbed on top of the car (really.) It scares the crap out of me. He never falls though so at least he has some talent to go along with it. Justin is 4 years younger than Sami so he has it made, no one really fights with him. He has two cousin within a year of his age Maddox and Easton, he sees them about daily so he gets his fair share of fighting for a toy. Justin has dimples and a smile to make any one melt. I thought number three child would go with anyone. I was wrong he doesn't go to nursery and cries when we leave him with babysitters. Trevor and Sami preferred mom over dad but not this one it kills me to say but Justin will take his dad over mom any day of the week. What can I say? This boy brings a little more craziness to our family but a ton more love. We can't imagine life without him!

My baby or My big boy??

Its killing me to see how old Justin looks in these new pictures I got taken of him. He is so handsome. I love this kid so much! What would life be like without kids??

Sami is 6!

Wow! Sami was in heaven looking at all those presents.

Some of the party girls and there pets.

We played a game were you ate cookies and milk out of a dog bowel.

It was hilarious watching the girl crawl down the hall eating like puppies.

What a group!

My daughter is obviously in need of attention she shoved her own face icing.

She told me after she saw it on a show once and it looked funny.

Ok! I know its 5 weeks after the fact but I was looking at these pictures and feeling bad I didn't post any. We had so much fun at Sami's party. Totally crazy, 16 fun girls, pizza, presents, cake, crafts and games. We had a pet party and made fabulous bags to carry our pets in. And of course dolled up our pets in the finest jewelry All A Dollars had to offer. =] It was fun!

Trevor's Baptism

My future missionary
So Handsome!
Our great friends
I have to document one of the three times a year I curl my hair.
Yum Yum! What a feast!


Trevor was baptized on March 1st. It was such a great day. I feel so grateful for all of the support in our lives. I hope I can be as good of a friend to all of the people around me as they are to me. Trevor was so excited about being baptized. He really took it serious and has continued since his baptism to make choices to improve himself. We are so proud of him!

Suprise! Suprise!

I was soooo confused and wishing I got ready cuter!

Still got it at thirty (well, sort of) =]

The gals!

Thanks everybody, I love you!

Holy Cow! What a way to start out 30! I loved it! Last Saturday my sister came to pick me up to go get a birthday facial together (wink, wink.) Instead she took me to my mom's house for a surprise party with lots of my friends and family. It was so fun! I feel so blessed to have sister' s and a mom to go to that work of putting it together. I also feel blessed to have such great friends to come and enjoy the afternoon with me. What can I say I am a lucky girl! If this is what thirty is like, bring it on!
