Happy 11th

I can't believe our sweet little boy is getting so old. He will be 11 on Monday! One more year before Young Men's, Junior High, passing the sacrament.....makes me want to cry...sniff sniff!!!

 I am so proud of the young man he is becoming and look forward to the very bright future he has waiting for him. We love you bunches!!!

 

It's GREAT to be 8!!!

It's my baby boys birthday tomorrow! I can't believe he is going to be 8! He's so excited to be baptized, and cross his fingers get a new bike! He has been counting down to this birthday since the end of last year...I love you my sweet silly boy. I hope you have a very happy birthday!!!

Back On Track!

SO....I have been a HORRIBLE blogger. Let's be honest, I have been horrible at A LOT of things this last year, BUT, Adam is now home and I am working on getting our family back on track with a lot of things.

The boys started school in JULY. We has a short summer because they switched tracks. I am VERY happy about the switch and the teachers that they have. I am VERY fortunate to have a friend to trade babysitting with so I can help in their classrooms every week.

The boys are in football. WOW, that takes up a BIG chunk of our time, BUT we LOVE it!

Paige turned 3 on Sept. 17. She had a little party with her close friends. She was SO in to her birthday it was A LOT of fun.

Adam and I celebrated our 13 aanniversary on the 20th. It feels like we have been together FOREVER, but time has also flown by MUCH too fast.

Trials

"Some good things fall apart

so better things can come together."

We have a lot of friends going through some very difficult trials right now

and this thought seemed really appropriate!

Cut It Out!

Paige desided to cut her hair today. Thankfully she did a pretty good job. She mostly ended up with a mullet when it was all said and done. Paige held me a wiped my tears away and told me sorry as I sobbed over it!

I loved her long curly hair. Now i't going to take another year to get it that long again. I know it's just hair and it could have been SO much worse but I am still sad!

This is a before picture of how long it was in back. Thankfully she could only get to the sides
After picture. It's still cute but short!

My Babies!

This is a picture of a picture. Unfortunately you can see where Paige took hand sanitizer and rubbed it on Brysen! Apparently he needed it!

Oh the Joy!

SO, I was on an important phone call and hiding out in the bathroom so I could hear, like any other self respecting mom. I hear Paige in the kitchen playing with Ebony's dog food. I kept thinking to myself, this doesn't sound good, but didn't want to be distracted from the call so I finished up and then walked out to this.

She was so proud of her self and commanded Ebony to "EAT".

UPDATE: As I just went upstairs to get the camera to post this picture, I found half of a bottle of Windex emptied out on my kitchen counter and Paige trying to wash the table. Oh, the joys of living with little, mischievous Paige!

Mother's Day

This is the necklace Adam got me for Mother's Day. I have wanted one since last year and he surprised me with it when he got home Friday. What a sweetheart. I heart Etsy, and my hubby!

Wild About The Zoo!

We went to the zoo the other day with Cambree and Hayden. I only got a few pics before my camera died. Love the mamma and baby elephant bums. Too cute. Paige is such a dork and I love her for it! Thanks for a fun day guys!

Rainy Day

Just kickin' back with her crew, watching her favorite show, Finding Nemo.

Another One Bites The Dust

Our graceful girl battled some concrete today....looks like the concrete won. Poor girl!

Snowy Easter

We braved an Easter egg hunt in a blizzard in Idaho. You should have heard all the crying kids with the parents telling them it was going to be fun, as we all froze our tushes off. My camera died before I got a shot of B. But here is P and J.
There were prizes in some of the eggs, Paige made off with 12 chocolate bars and B won some fun games! It was worth braving the cold!

Monkey'n Around

Jake had his annual cake auction for scouts. I think he did a great job! I bought it back for $30!

Happy Happy Birthdays!
