Update! (Warning: Lots of stuff)

The last week or so has been crazy but I just wanted to back post some of the things going on around here. Sorry that it is so much info!

On Sunday after church we made a fort under the tramp. The girls thought it was so stinkin fun. We plugged in the TV and the girls watched Ever After while Adam, Zack and I took a nap. The weather was soooo nice and we had a great time hanging out together!

My girls and boys!

Ellie, Addie, Emma.

April 12, 2008 Today Travis and Bree Anna were married in the Mnt. Timpanogis Temple. It was a great day! The ceremony was great, the luncheon was great, and the reception was great! The girls loved being included. Trav and Breezy are a great example to our family. The girls really look up to them and we appreciate their examples. We are excited for them and think it's great that they will be living across the street. Congrats!!!

We went to the Ballroom dancing performance at BYU where Whitney and Jesse dance. It was a really fun night. The performance was great and the girls absolutely loved it. After we went with the Greens for shakes. We had a blast! Can't wait till next time.

Ellie, Luke, Emma, Livy and Addie in up in Ogden hanging out and having fun.

Zack smiled for the first time on March 11 but I finally caught it with the camera. It is so cute when he busts out a huge smile.

I was trying to get Zack to smile and I was saying "I love you Zacky, look at Me" and Ellie says "Mom do you love me"? Well my heart melted, of coarse I love you you sweet thing!

Emma FINALLY learned to ride her bike. We tried last year but I guess she just wasn't ready because she got on this bike and just started riding it with no help. It was classic.

It had been a while since I had seen Ellie so I went upstairs to check on her. I could hear her breathing but I couldn't find her. I found her asleep on the bottom of my really organized linen closet. I thought it was hilarious so I had to take a picture.

Happy 60th Grandma-We love you!!!!


Today is Betty's 60th birthday. What can I say about this amazing woman. I truly know that she is the most self-sacrificing person that I have ever met. She is the best Grandma, Mother-in-law, Mom, sister and friend. She is always willing and ready to help out and be there to make life easier. She is kind, fun, loving, giving, happy and many more great qualities that I could go on and on. I just want to wish her the best Birthday ever and many more!!!! We love you Bett - You're the best!!!

You're Gonna Miss This!

I heard this song on the Finale of Celebrity Apprentice and I was seriously emotional (Which is weird because I'm not a very emotional person). Anyway, every time I hear it I still get emotional. Time is flying by. Addison is almost 9, Emma 7, Ellie 4, and Zack is almost 3 mo. I know that this time of my life is really going to go by too fast. I've been trying to seriously live in the moment and enjoy every day while my kids grow up. I truly feel so blessed to be a mom of three beautiful girls and a cute baby boy. They are the joy of my life and also the stress. I try not to get too rattled about the little things that happen or go wrong because I know that I truly am going to miss this. So, if you haven't heard this song yet, it's on my play list by Trace Adkins. Listen to it and decide to truly enjoy this time in your life because it will go by way too fast!

New Songs!

Chelsea is the best! If it wasn't for her I wouldn't even be blogging. She set up all the back ground of our blogg and helped me catch up on all the stuff I wanted to back post (it took over 6 hrs). Then last night she helped me add new music so that we all don't have to listen to the same song every time. Thanks Gal!

Rock Lobster!

Emma had her first dance competition on Friday. She had so much fun and did such a great Job. They danced to the song Rock Lobster. Great Job Babe!

She loves to pose.

This is a close up so you can see she FINALLY lost her two front teeth that have been dangling for weeks.

These are all the darling girls that dance with Emma-they have so much fun together!

Another Sunday Afternoon

Marc and Betty invited us up for dinner. It was so nice that I didn't have to make dinner. It is always so relaxing and my kids have a great time. In my oppinion, we have the best Family ever!

The girls and Kipp made a little chair out of big blocks for Ayden to sit in. So cute!

Grandma Betty and Zack

Ellie put make-up on herself and on Grandma. Beautiful!

Ayden and Zack-Little best cousins! It is going to be so fun to watch these two grow up together. They will be little best friends.

G-day mate!

Well that's pretty much the closest thing you're going to hear from us from Austrailia. We were supposed to be leaving today for Down Under, but Zack has RSV so we are not going. On Monday I took him to the Dr. because he was scaring me with the coughing that he had. When the Dr. told me that he had RSV I pretty much said goodbye to Austrailia, there was no way that I was traveling half way accross the world for 15 hrs with a sick baby. Adam called my Dad and asked him if he would go with him but my Dad's passport had expired last month. He made some calls and found out that he could get a passport by Friday morning. So they were going. Then on Wednesday morning Adam called me and said he had cancelled the trip. Our family is the most important thing to Him and he didn't want to leave a sick boy either. We are both pretty sad about not being on our way but we both feel that it was the right choice for our family. We are also going to Washington D.C. in June and Adam is going to Florida in May so we have some great times to look forward to real soon. Zack is doing a little bit better, I havn't been able to put him down for four days because he just cries and then starts a coughing fit. I have just tried to enjoy all the great time that I am spending with him while trying to forget the huge piles of wash that are building up and my really clean house.
