Field day. Yeah Schools out!

The PTO added a lot of fun games for field day this year. I went to see the kids playing around. It was a fun day. They were searching for eggs in the peanuts, a mess but a good time.


This was so funny. This is a velcro wall. It is a blow up bounce activity so the kids put those big suits on, that are covered in velcro. Then they jump and bounce around and jump into a wall of velcro. So funny to watch the kids get stuck on the wall. They also just look so cute all dressed up in this large velcro seat. This is Aubrey and her friends.

Shaylee was giggling with her friends so hard I am not sure she jumped real high. It was fun to watch her and her friends have a good time their last field day ever!!! I am so proud of my kids for working so hard this year in school. I am looking forward to having a good time this summer with the kids. (note to readers the dates are wrong on these pictures.

remember when?

I was going through some old pictures to find a baby picture of Aubrey. I think we lost our camera at the time she was a baby or something. She has always been photogenic, because she has always been full of life and curiousity! This is when Chance was born Aubrey could not wait to hold him. She thought she was such a big girl. Also I love that even at 5 years old Shaylee looks so mature and responsible. Almost funny the serious look on her face. She takes being an older sister very serious! Just wanted to share this memory of the day chance was born in the Hospital, and how even six years later things haven't changed much. Aubrey still wants what Shaylee has, and wants what she is not always old enough to have, but she is always determined! Shaylee is just as responsible and in charge at least where she and Chance are concerned. And Chance is usually just hanging out all cute and innocent! Oh How I love them!

Aubrey birthday party

The date is incorrect on these photos. I was not that bad of a mother making her wait until january to celebrate her may birthday. We did celebrate in May! This was her homemade sign we made for her kind of a family tradition from back in the day before computers and it just still is my favorite way to decorate.


We made our own pizza's first then went out in the garage to hit our home made pinata. Really I am not that cheap its just funner to make your own stuff! The kids loved it. I got the idea from my friend Tami.



Aubrey is my social butterfly so we had lots of girls there. She is such a good little friend. She loves to be playing with someone at all times. We had a great time celebrating Aubrey this day.

Happy eighth birthday Brey

These are some pictures we went to the tabernacle to take for her baptism announcement. Aubrey is so excited to be baptized. She begged me to go take these pictures for her after church. She remembers her sister having similar pictures for her baptism announcement.


She is just so stinking cute and photogenic. We had a great time taking these.



We are so excited for you Brey. We love having you in our family. You are always so willing to help with what needs to be done. You are always so full of love and the desire to do good to others.

Thanks Chance for being such a loveable kid!

Chance's Birthday!!!

My baby Chance turned 6 today!!! the date on my camera is wrong in the picture it is the 27th of April. This is my cutie pie Chance. He is such a joy in our family. I enjoy him so much. He is always smiling and teasing. He has a very tender heart. He feels others feelings around him and tries to make others happy. He does pretty much everything you ask him to do. I can not believe my boy is growing up so fast. I asked him not to long ago what I would do when he was too big for me to hold and snuggle anymore, He answered me " don't worry mom then I will hold you, you can sit on my lap."



On Chance's special day he chose to play with his friend from school. He chose to have crepes for dinner, they are his favorite. We haven't done presents yet, we are waiting till dad comes home so that will be a blog for another day!

This is part of our vacation to Denver I almost forgot about this. This is my wonderful crazy sister! Now I know why I am so crazy, I was trained to be so!! Its impossible to not just love her!! At first when I walked in the room and saw her jumping on the bed singing a Taylor Swift song at the top of her lungs, I wanted to tell her to get down. Then I saw how much fun it was and I grabbed the nearest thing that could be a microphone so she would not show me up!!!! I highly reccomend the daughters bedroom as a recording studio. Oh and if you sing at the top of your lungs into a wand it doesn't matter if you are on key!



Watch out world heres the next American Idol. well maybe not I am a little shy.
