My Sweet Girls

I don't know who's having more fun getting my cute girls ready for Halloween...me or them but I sure do love my cute girls!

Park City 2012

Last week we had a great staycation in Park City. It was nice just to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and connect as a family.

We spent a lot of time at the pool. I had forgotten how much of a fish Cami is...she would have stayed the entire week in the pool if I'd let her. By the end I had a hard time getting Alex and AJ out too.








One of our favorite things to do as a family is play games. There was no shortage of them while we were away...we played bingo, pool, ping pong, board games, puzzles, and video games. Thankfully nobody was hurt while playing them, we can get a little out of control at times :).















The hotel we stayed at had a lot of fun kid activities on site that we participated in. A few of the things we did were flag making, story time with cookies, finger painting, 3D movies, and a watermelon spitting contest.











Anthony wanted to be so independant all week. Although we brought the stroller with us everywhere he mostly just ended up pushing it himself...with nothing in it.
He especially loved pushing the elevator buttons. One day when Chance and Sierra took him for a walk he got stuck in the elevator by himself. When they found him he was just standing there with a group of people with his hands in his pocket not crying or anything.

Ready For Church

One thing I love most about Sundays is these three kids get excite to go to church. I love their sweet spirits. On days that its a struggle to get my teenagers to go :) these three give me the motivation to keep going. I'm very grateful for them.




Cami especially has a very sweet spirit. She loves church and learning about Jesus. During the week when I ask her what movie she wants to watch she will usually pick one of our movies about stories from the scriptures.
Its funny how our kids can be more of an example to us sometimes than we are to them....

Alex's Graduation

Alex graduated from kindergarten today! For the program he had to dress as animorph and he chose a panda/lizard. He did such a great job reciting his animal facts. We are so proud of him!

Blowing Bubbles

Today was Anthony's first time blowing bubbles and he loved it!
Cami was so good at helping him. Afterwards they had a tea party and Anthony said "please" for the first time....usually he says thank you for please so it was very cute :)

Fun In The Sun

Today we went to the splash pad with some friends. It was great to get out and enjoy the sunshine. It was funny when AJ kept going to the fence because he heard a dog on the other side.

Morning Walk

Today for our morning walk we went to the lake. While we were there we fed the ducks. It was funny when the ducks got really close to Cami and Alex they would get scared and run away.

I love this spring weather and could spend everyday outside all day. I'm grateful to live in such a beautiful place where we can walk outside to get our exercise!

Chance's First Prom

Chance went to his first prom with his friend Lindsey last night. He had a great time. He has another one on Wednesday...busy boy these days :)

Mothers Day

I have the best family ever. Not only have they spoiled me with relaxation all day but they have been so thoughtful and creative in all of their gifts. My family is so sweet and my husband is hands down the best hubby and father ever!!

Cami

Today this is how I found Cami. I love to read so when I saw this it was a small payday for me as a mom.
It was so cute to see her tucking her "babies" in and reading a story to them.

The Joys Of Potty Training

Since we started potty training AJ he likes to take his diaper off and puts on Alex's underwear any chance he gets.
Last night he must have took his diaper off before he went to sleep because this is how we found him in the morning.
Silly kid likes to sleep camando AND with his sisters pillow!!

Warm Weather FINALLY

Usually we are pretty strict about how we spend our Sundays but today was SO warm. We let the kids go out and enjoy the weather with their favorite friends...The Holverson's.
It was so nice to have them playing instead of watching TV. I'm so grateful spring is finally here!!

Picture Day

Today we had family pictures taken. She did SO good and I can't wait to see them!
Cami was so cute and loved getting her picture taken. By the time we were done Alex and AJ had enough so we went to the store to buy them a treat for all their hard work.
I will post them as soon as I get them back.

Rainy Day Fun

Today Alex asked me to make a kite for him?!?!? He told me I could make a cool one...how can you say no to a 7 year old that has that much faith in your abilities??
SO two hours later we had 2 resemblences of an airplane kite ready to fly.
By the time we were done the rain was coming down. That didn't stop Cami and Alex from flying though...by the time I made AJ lunch the fans were out and they were flying to Arizona!!
Rainy days in our house are our favorite days :)
