4th of July 2016

Sadly, I had to work on the 4th of July but Dallin and the kids still carried out the tradition of going to watch the fireworks with a big ole bowl of popcorn.

They clearly had fun even though I wasn't there. 

Attempt To Get Caught Up #5

Claire got this dinosaur replica from a book order

 Good little buddies

The last snowman of the season. The kids named her Rosie.

Easter egg hunt at Grandma Connie's

We set our tent up in the living room so the kids could watch General Conference. I told them they were like King Benjamin and his people. Pointing their tent door towards the prophet.

 This is when we hiked to Goldbug hot springs. The kids did so much better then I thought they would. They probably had more endurance than their mother.

 Kate was in the play, Pinocchio. She was a little toy soldier.

Cutest little toy soldier ever!

Attempt to Get Caught Up #4

 Last summer the kids sat up a store. They made signs and put price tags on things. I thought it was so clever I had to take pictures of it.

 Dallin took these pictures of Mae last summer.

Love this little face!

 The kids with our neighbor friend, Avelina.

Mae has had enough!

 The kids' store continued.

 Aunt Lori thought of Claire when she saw this shirt and got it for her.

 I was in charge of an art project in Claire's class. They were talking about magnets in school so I thought it would be fun to incorporate that into my art project. The kids made mosaics.

 Claire was rainbow dash for halloween and Kate was fluttershy. They came in the mail that day and the kids couldn't wait to try them on.

Our dear friends the Oliversons.

 Claire and Kate putting rollers in their pony's hair made out of straws. It worked so good!

 With every child we have had at about 7-8 months old, Dallin has perched them in the window naked to take pictures. They have been some of my favorite pictures. I'm so glad we have them.

 This is Sam's birthday. He turned 3 years old on January 6. He got a nerf gun, a training wheel bike with helmet, a cow and horse ball shooter from Grandma Connie and Grandpa Dale, and money from Grandma and Grandpa Judy. 

 I am so thankful for everyday that I get to spend with this little boy. I don't know what I would do without him. He has brought so much joy into our lives. He loves to help me cook in the kitchen, making messes, following his sisters around, getting dirty, playing with tools, tractors, riding bikes and scooters

 Claire and Kate both wanted to the cheer camp again this year. They had a lot of fun! They got to perform at half time at the boys basketball game.

Sam picked out this fire truck balloon

 Sam loves Daniel Tiger so he got a Daniel Tiger cake. Grrrr-ific!
