New Babysitter

Just have to give a shout out to my Dad. He has become my babysitter lately and I really appreciate him. When I was at Girls Camp and Gavin was at ball practice he (with the help of Addie) even changed Carlee's messy diaper! Then he walked them down to Grandma's, where my Mom was tending her because of shoulder surgery. I was impressed, to say the least!

Thanks Dad, don't know what I would do without you.

Warrior Baseball

Landon played with the 8u Warriors at the RMSB Memorial Day Tournament in Alpine. The boys did good, coming away with two W's. We went up a day early and watched SCHS Baseball at State. It was a fun atmosphere to be apart of. They are a great group of boys, the kind you want your son's to emulate.  They played tough and came up just short of the state trophy.

Jake came up and met us on the second day. He reluctantly made a few friends while he was with us. We had fun giving him a hard time! :)

Such a cute group of boys!

Last Day of School

School's out! The boys had a great year. Both had super teacher's and learned a lot. Here is to a fun summer, full of sleeping in, catching crawdads, swimming and more!

8 Months

Carlee 8 Months
Teeth have finally appeared! Carlee loves to bit, and now it hurts! She is starting to figure out how to sit up by herself. She is really content sitting on the floor with a couple of toys in front of her. Carlee makes happy noises all day long. I think she just wants to be heard amongst all the noise. The only time we don't love her squealing is at church! She has been in the car seat a lot this month, because of school programs, dance recitals, and baseball games... she doesn't seem to mind, luckily she can take a  great nap in it! She finally moved to a size 3 diaper. She now sits in the shopping cart without her car seat and loves it.

This is one smiley happy baby, and we can't seem to get enough of her! Love you Cars!

Landon's Birthday

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this boy is 9. It is crazy to think that in 9 more years he will be all grown up and hopefully somewhere in a far away place teaching people about the gospel. Time really needs to slow down from here on out. The first 9 has gone way to fast! I love him so much, and even though sometime we have our moments... he is a pretty dang good kid.

All he wanted to do for his birthday was go to Samurai 21. He had been planning it since the fall. I couldn't have been happier with the idea! We had a family party the night before, and then on his big day we went to Samurai. It was great, he even caught the shrimp!

Happy Birthday Landon! I love you. Thank you for being apart of our family. You are one of a kind boy, that I don't know what I would do without.

Two Much Fun

Tuesday has become Addie's favorite day of the week. All I ever hear is "Mom, is it dance day? or "Is it dance day today?" or "Mom, when is it dance day?" Monday nights she goes right to bed very excited, because she knows when she wakes up it is dance day! She loves the baby doll dance, butterfly dance, teddy bear dance, well I now I think about it, I guess she loves them all! My favorite was the mop dance. It was to the song "It's the Hard Knock Life" from Annie. It was so cute! (We came right home and downloaded it, now she sings it all the time.)

It was fun to watch her do all the dances she talks about all the time. She grinned and danced so cute. I don't know who was smiling more, me or her! I couldn't have been prouder, she was a doll!

Then she sang to her daddy...

"I have a date...Yes I do..."

"He is tall & handsome, too"

"I have a date and Daddy it's you!"

 

 

 

 This class really was "Two much fun" just like its name.

Mother's Day

I have many Mother's in my life that help me so much. I don't know what I would do with out my own Mother, she is always there when I need her with a shoulder to cry on, or laugh on for that matter! She is a great mom, and I feel blessed to call her Mother.  That being said... I had a great Mother's day. We were able to spend a little time with my mom and Gavin's. It was nice.

This year I decided I didn't want to spend $4.99 on a card that will get thrown away. So, I made my own Mother's Day Cards. I printed this picture then glued it to cardstock and wrote my own personal message inside. It was perfect. I think this will be how I create Mother's/Father's Day cards from now on. That way they at least have an up to date photo of our family and it cost me under a dollar. :)
