Hannah's baptism

Today Hannah turned 8 and was baptized. We are so proud of her and her decision she has made. She is such a wonderful daughter and we couldn't ask for anything more. She planned her whole program by herself and did a fantastic job. All of her grandparents participated and where honored to have been asked. The primary room was packed with family and friends and wonderful people from the ward who have watched her grow up. We are so grateful for the love and support our family receives from them.

Happy Birthday Hannah and Haleigh!!!!

So my babies are growing up so fast. This weekend was Hannah and Haleigh's birthday. Hannah turned 8 and Haleigh turned 6. Really, were does the time go??? We had a party at their Papa's house and had lots of friends come over to celebrate with them. We had pizza and hamburgers, cake and cupcakes and LOTS!!! of fun. My grandmother, the kids great grandma was able to be here for their birthday. She will be 90yrs old in Nov. The girls love her and were so glad she could be there.

We are so grateful for our friends and the wonderful friendships we have. We love you guys.

Here are some pics from the party.

Heidi turned 3

Heidi's birthday was in June. I can't believe that my baby is 3. Most people by now can't believe that I have not had another one or that I am not pregnant. Believe me we are finished!!!!
Anyways, we had a small family party on her birthday and then had a friends party on Sat. at my dad's new house with his pool. We had a great time and I know Heidi did too.

On a side note the week before Heidi's b-day, my sister Alli had her little girl.Her name is Loralei and the girls are absolutely in love with her.


Here is the birthday girl

St. George Island

In June we went with our friends the Ingram's to St. George Island. It was the best day trip we have been on in a long time. We got up early and drove down and stayed to whole day on the beach. We had lots of FUN!!!!!

I'm not DEAD!

Hey guys, I'm finally back. No, I'm not dead. Just having some crazy months lately and haven't felt like blogging. I know, I know.





Well here goes. I will start back to the girls recital. It was at the end of May and they were so cute. They did a really great job and were very excited to dance. They got to dance with the older girls this year and LOVED it!!!! Here's a few pics from it. (next year all 4 of them will be dancing. Talk about going crazy. I will let you know if I survive)

Country Living

I absolutely love living where we do. We are out in the country and it is quiet and peaceful. The girls love it and have the best time playing outside and with one another. Here are just a few pics of them enjoying the country life.






Isn't that sweet. Little sister pushing big sister on the bike that is too small for her. I thought these were too cute.

The girls decided to make their parachute a tent and have a picnic in it. They enjoyed hotdogs and chips for dinner. yummy...

The Darndest Places

I must have the strangest children ever!!!! No just kidding, but several of my children have fallen asleep in the strangest places. Hayden fell asleep on the front porch on the bricks of all places. She covered herself up with her blanket and slept for a couple of hours.

Today Heidi got put outside in the rain because of her never ending screaming. She was told when she stopped she could come inside. I guess she wore herself out after twenty mins. and layed down on the kitchen floor and went to sleep. Should I leave her there??? No, I am sure some of my friends will call dfacs on me. (I know who you are =) )
