The Big Secret!

Don't tell the kids, it is a surprise! We are taking them to Disneyland in September. We are going with our good friends the Lambs, and their kids don't know either. I am not sure how long we will be able to keep it a secret, but we'll see. In a way I would like to tell them just so I can hold it over their heads and use it as bribery. "You better be good or we won't go to Disneyland." But they are pretty smart kids, I think they would figure out it was an empty threat.

We didn't want to tell the kids until we were absolutely sure it was going to happen, and I think we are to that point now. Jenn and I thought it would be so fun to try and keep it a secret. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they find out!! This is going to be a great trip with some great friends!!

My sister is going to be on TV!!!

Hi everyone! I just thought I would let you know that my sister, Wendy, is going to be on TV tomorrow morning. She is going to be a guest on a show called The Home Team. It is on KJZZ channel 14 tomorrow morning Friday June 20th from 9:00am to 10:00am. She is going to be talking about her improv group I think. Anyways, I just thought I would let everybody know in case they wanted to watch. Good Luck Wendy!! I'll be watching.

Aunt "Molly"

My sister Emily, or "Molly" as Taylor calls her, was here visiting from Logan. My kids absolutely adore her. They love it when "Molly comes to visit because she will do anything and play everything with them. We were at my mom's house yesterday for a BBQ and I looked out the back window to see this.

What a sweet aunt letting Taylor trace her in chalk! We love you MOLLY!!

My sweet princess

My sister in law, Christy, took these cute pictures on Saturday at my in laws house. Aren't they adorable? Thanks Christy!

Memories

I was looking at some old pictures and I decided to post a few of my favorites. It just doesn't seem that long ago when these were taken. I wish my kids would stop growing up!! Time is going by way too fast.
As I go through the rest of my Cd's I will continue to post some of my favorite pics. There were a lot to choose from, it was hard to narrow it down.

This is Trevon at about 9 months old

Brian looks drunk or something, but I just love the smile on Trevon's face.

Like father like son!! You gotta have some reading material when you're in the office. Great choice for a two year old, don't you think? :)

Oh Jackson! You have had us laughing since the moment you were born!!!

This is Jackson with his friends Tanner Lamb and Riley Mackey. I can't believe how little these three look in this picture. And now all three are so grown up and are in elementary school.

Ready for a swim? Trevon is still a little water bug. All three of my kids love to go swimming.

Check out the bling. I am sure this was a product of his Dad and uncle B.

What a handsome little guy.

Baby Birdies!

We noticed this birds nest in our satellite dish a few weeks ago. And inside there were four little eggs. Well yesterday afternoon I looked and the eggs had hatched! I don't think I have ever seen little birdies so small. Brian was able to lift the kids up so they could get a little peek. It was pretty neat to see how excited they got. I was able to snap a few pictures while the mommy bird was away. I think they must have just hatched within a day or so because there is still one egg that hasn't hatched yet. Pretty cool huh?

When I leaned over to get this pic one little bird opened its tiny little beak. It probably thought I was mommy bringing food.

Testing out the tub

So after ten years we finally got one! Our new hot tub! This was birthday, mother's day, father's day, anniversary, and early Christmas for us. We got it last week and we have used it every night since. Sometimes even twice a day! The kids also love it although we have to limit their time because we don't want them to overheat. It has been nice to sit and wind down after a long day.

It's just not worth the fight

Taylor has a very strong opinion on what she wears lately. Is it supposed to start this early? Getting dressed these days has sometimes turned into a battle. And to be honest with you, I just don't feel like fighting about it sometimes. Brian tells me "you're the mom", but it just isn't worth the fight. I usually win the fight when we are going out in public, but this particular day Taylor won. We actually went out to dinner with Taylor dressed like this. She insisted on the skirt, but it was cold so she went and put on the jeans underneath it. And you gotta love the black boots and the purple belt. She will probably grow up and work in the fashion industry.

This was Taylor's outfit earlier in the day. She wanted to dance, so of course she had to put on dance clothes.
