MaKenna....b-day, graduation and dance!!!

My baby is 6 years old. It is hard to believe that she is that old. She had a week long celebration with a ice cream cake on her real birthday.

Then we had a Pajama Party with all her friends with rice crispy cupcakes...mmmm!

And lots of presents and fun new stuff!!

Even a Pinata...however it was a little windy outside in their pajamas. But who wouldn't mind the cold for a little candy.

Then this last week, she finished her dance year out with a recital. She was a ladybug. And a beautiful one too.

Then at the end Hunter and Daddy gave her a rose.

And how could we even believe that she is no longer a Kindergartner and now a soon to be big first grader. She had a little Kindergarten program too. It is hard to wrap my finger around the fact that she is old enough to go to school all day. I think this is a harder concept than Kindergarten was. She is now going to be away from me all day. I am really going to miss all the help. She is so sweet and we are so lucky to have her in our home. MaKenna we love you so much and are so proud of how far you have come this past year!!!

Finally A Post

It has been forever since I have blogged....I guess this pregnancy has got the best of me. And so now there are things that lack in my life but Brian has been my backbone and the best husband I could ever ask for, he rubs my back and gets me the toliet paper to wipe my mouth when I'm praying to the porcelin gods, which seems to be quite often lately. In fact MaKenna asked me the other day "mommy are you sure you want to be pregnant?" I told her that we wanted another baby to come to our family and she said "why our family is just right already" That it is but one is missing and we are hoping time flies.

Well besides being sick there are some good days and a couple of weeks ago we took the kids to the furniture store to meet Dora and Spongbob. They loved it and couldn't stop talking about it.

They're leaving in a moving van.....

This cute most adorable family is leaving Utah. We finally got them to live here and now they think they found something better. lol. Well ok maybe they really did find something better but it is hard for me to think that being farther away from me would be a better choice. lol I am so grateful for my relationship with my sister and know that even if they move that will not change. I just know that I am going to miss only being 4 hours away from squeezing them all. All joking aside I just wanted to take the time to tell them how much they mean to me and that I am excited for them and their new adventure. I know that wherever they go they will do well and the people around them will soon find out how wonderful they are too. You better watch out Linds....here comes a new and big calling. The small towns always find great people like you and Ben and it will not be long before you are discovered there too. I wish you the best of luck and just want to say that you will always be in our prayers. We will now just have to make a greater effort to see each other. Congratulations on your new exciting Chapter in your lives. We love you tons!!

It's Official!!!

Yep the cat has been let out of the bag. We are expecting #4...AAAHHH!!! I think we must be crazy. I am now 7 weeks along. And yes I am really sick. I was not sick the whole first 6 weeks and so I was truly loving life. I was finally able to experience what it was like to be pregnant and not be sick. It was great, however on the flip side, it is cruel becuase now I know what it is like to not be sick and it makes me angered that I spend most of my pregnancy in the bathroom. This past weekend was indeed the worst yet so far but MaKenna understands why mommy is sick and has been a great helping hand while daddy is at work. I do feel so blessed to have the opportunity to be a vessel to this unborn spirit. And we are indeed lucky to add another family member into our circle. My estimated due date is the end of November. So yes the rumor is true I have the Egyptian flu....I will struggled through 9 months of sickness and then become a
mummy!!! HA HA HA Now we shall discover if Brianna is ready to be the big sister and not the baby!

Easter Fun

This weekend we did some great Easter hunts. The kids started out by hunting some eggs at the Hurricane City Egg Hunt and then later that night we did an egg hunt at the church with some of our friends. We had 388 eggs and like 20 kids. It was great. They all got tons of eggs and had a blast doing it. Then they played at the park while the daddy's went to the Priesthood session. On Sunday we colored eggs as a family and enjoyed the low key day as we watched Conference.

Following the Mikester wherever he may go...taking the kids to the egg

Proud of his findings

Smile...cause you got eggs.

First Easter egg hunt

Shoot Em' Dead!!!

We must really be Rednecks because I don't know of very many people that do this......


If you sneak up on them....they might not see you coming!

Well let's clarify....Brian is a redneck. There was a wasps nest behind our shed and instead of getting wasp spray and killing it, my cutest husband gets his paintball gun out and shoots purple paint at it until it falls. Yes it did knock the nest down but it was kind of funny to watch him do it. And he was so proud of himself too. Thanks honey for killing the wasps for us so we can play in our backyard!!!

Happy Birthday Hunter

I am a little slow on my postings but here it is. Hunter turned 5!! For his party he wanted to have A Transformers Party. We decided to make our house the Clark Cinema and watch Transformer Cartoons, they all got money and a ticket with their invitation. They came and purchased a candy, popcorn and a drink.

MaKenna was the concession stand hostess


He opened presents, had a pinata, and played some games too

Then of course we had cake and ice cream too. All the kids were sugared out by then but oh well. It was so much fun and we are so greateful to have such a smart intelligent boy in our home. He has such a sweet, tender spirit. He is so intune with others feelings and we are glad he is ours Forever. Happy Birthday little man!!!!
