First day of school 2009-2010

WOW! I am going to have three kids in school this year. It makes me a little sad to say but we had all had enough summer and were ready to start the new year.

SADIE'S in 4th PORTER'S in 2nd

Aubrey starts kindergarten this week and Kailey will be home with mom.

They started at a new school this year so we all got ready early and headed over there on the first day to check out the school. It made it nice for pics because everyone was ready.

PIRATES...Aarrggggg!!

Okay, so how bad am I that I actually forgot my blog address because it has been so long.:}



Tonight my kids and I finished PIRATES the Musical. It has been a crazy and busy ride but it urned out amazingly well. I am very pleased, although there are always things that I would do differently, it turned out great. The kids were so fun to watch and I actually was able to get Porter, my..."I never want to draw any kind of crazy attention to myself kid"...to be in it. I still don't know if he really likes it or not but I am glad he tried. I guess I can't have em all. Sadie, on the other hand, was one of the main pirates and did such a good job. She is so cute on stage and just shines. This was her 4th production and she really has gotten better every time. I still think she should have made it into Sound of Music with me, but there must have been a reason. Here are some of our pirate pics. I think we should all be pirates for Christmas this year since we have the shirts! How fun would that be?:D

Too bad we didn't get a pic with Kailey in her pirate garb.

That would have been cute.

Cute!

I was checking out the pictures on my camera and came across this little video. I know that "Father's interviews" should be private, but I couldn't resist. She is getting so big!!

Busy!

I can't believe I let myself get off my weekly blog post so here is a post to say hat I will be posting soon.:)

My kids are of track again which means that it is spring cleaning time and adventure time. We kind of have a give and take deal that if we can get some spring cleaning done one day then we can do a fun activity the next day. So after a long day of sorting winter and summer clothes, we went downtown yesterday to explore the Natural History Museum and had a wonderful time! The city library has a wonderful pass that you can check out every six months to get into 4 different museums FREE for up to 4 people. You better believe that we try to take advantage of that at least twice a year!:)

Okay, so another super fun thing is that Jason earned, what is called, "The Incentive Trip" this year from work. Well this year we are going to Cancun and staying in a really nice all-inclusive for 5 nights! We are so excited!! We would never spend as much money as it is costing them, for us to go ourselves so we are stoked to take it all in and have a blast + for justification, we still have a bit left over that we can use to take our kids on a family get-away this summer! YEA! From what we have seen this far, we have decided that we definitely need to set our work goals high enough to earn the trip every year! Nothing wrong with vacations that work pays for! Now it's time to get our pass ports so if anyone knows much about that, please pass on the info!

Mommy Dearest!

Our computer has been sick for the last week so I was not able to do my weekly blog post yesterday. He is feeling better however and we are so grateful for that!:)

We had a fabulous week last week with my mom in town! We did some of our traditional "mom" visit things like, go to Logan and visit my dad & grandparent's graveside followed by ice cream. Okay, so that may sound like a strange tradition but we have been doing it since I was a little girl and now my kids love it too. Besides that, we really did not do much out of the ordinary besides run errands and stay up and visit, way too late. I love my mom and I am so grateful to have her! She is my hero!:)

"FUN" at the cemetery!?

My kids would say "YES!"

A Little Strange!!

Baby "K"

This cold season has taken a toll on our little family, especially, baby K. However, in the midst of it all, I have discovered something about her. You know those little, nose suckers you get from the hospital when you have a new baby? Well, all of my kids have hated them and used to scream and fuss when they got near...until now. Baby K actually likes it. She giggles after each use and leans forward for more. All I can guess is that it is Heavenly Father's way of helping me forget any difficulties I have had with other babies and preparing me for more! If that is the case, it is working because I think I'm ready for another!:)

Is that SPRING in the air?!

Yippee! Spring is around the corner...we can feel it! My kids and I have been taking in the warmer weather all week and have loved every minute of it!

AAAHHHHH!!

Just bounce'n around, having

fun with the fam!

A "little" woman on a mission!

FREE day at

the ZOO!

Almost little Bob!!
Baby K's was so excited about all the animals, it was hard to brake her away. Though she looks like she is yelling, no noise is actually coming from her mouth, this is just her SUPER excited...have to tell someone look! Hang'n out at our

FAVORITE park!
Pooped, after a fun & busy week!
