My sister Amber just took this picture and I am so thrilled with it! The majority of the fam is smiling and looking at the camera!! Yay! Thanks Amber!

A little announcement....

So I just thought that I would announce our little family suprise! #4 is on the way!!! We are so excited to have this little one coming our way! I am just about 3 months along and I am due May 4th!! We just thought we would share :)

Just a suggestion...

So... Let's just say if you are looking for a good book, you have got to read this one!!! I absolutely loved it!!! It is this good, clean, romance novel that makes you want to go kissin on someone!!! I got butterflies reading it and started reading it again as soon as I was done! Great book! Just thought I would make the suggestion!

Blogging Update OVERLOAD!!!

Well these postings should catch you up on our Summer so far! We have been having tons of fun and hope that you are all too!!!

Hogle Zoo

We got to go to Hogle Zoo with the McKee family! It was so much fun to take the kids to go and see the animals! They had such a great time! It was a perfect day! We had tons of fun spending time with our McKee family!

Water party!

We have had so much fun with our McKee cousins! We've been able to go to Grandma and Grandpa McKee's and have lots of fun playing in the pool and running through the sprinklers! Wish we could have this much fun all the time!

Happy Birthday Shay!

I can't believe my Baby Shay is 4. It makes me so sad to see her growing up so fast. She is so much fun. She wanted a "Fireworks Birthday," so we did fireworks at home and she loved it. Most of her cousins, Aunts & Uncles, and Grandma's and Grandpa's were there! We are so greatful for their love and support! Love you Shaylee!

4th of July!

We had so much fun this 4th of July! Between the fireworks, parades, BBQ's, and all the time we got to spend with family and friends! We are sad it is already gone but, Kaitlyn said it best while watching fireworks, "I have been waiting for this season all my life!"

Lagoon, it's what fun is!!

We are always excited when June comes cause that means that Grandma Miller gets FREE Lagoon tickets and we all get to go as a family and have a great time! The kids absolutely loved it and we couldn't get them to leave!!!

St. George Trip

These are a few of my favorite pictures of our St. George trip. So, I am a little late posting it but better late then never! We went in April with my family and we had so much fun. It was nice to get away! Kaitlyn found "pet snails" at the condo. All she wanted to do was stay there and play with them. It was so gross, she came to the patio door and had them crawling all up and down her arms. She even had one on her neck! Gross....sometimes I wonder if she is really my child?!

Hide and Go Seek!

This is the most hillarious thing ever (atleast Kirt and I thought so)! The kids love to play hide and go seek, so we play as a family quite frequently. We usually have to help Shaylee hide because she just has a hard time finding a good spot. Well it was Kirt's turn to count and she wanted to hide herself. Well, Kirt found me under the kitchen table and was about busting a gut when he told me to come and see where Shay had hidden. We will let the picture tell the story...... Yep you saw right. She was hidding behind the clear shower curtain standing in the middle of the bathroom floor. And the thing is, she was dead serious about it. We kept walking back and forth in front of the bathroom door and she was frozen, staring off in the distance. I don't think Kirt and I have laughed that hard for a long time.

Easter

Easter was so much fun with the kids. They were all so excited about everything going on. These are pictures of their easter outfits (kind of, the Easter Bunny screwed up big time on the sizes this year), but they had a great time!

My Curse...

So I have a curse (atleast I figure it is a curse cause I can't figure out what else is wrong with me)! When I go shopping I ALWAYS get the crappy broken down shopping cart! It bothers me so bad that finally when I walk into a store I take time to scope out the carts to see which one looks the best and after I make my decision I start down the isle of the store and what do you know, it's crap! And on the rare occasions that I have a cart that functions properly the seat belt is broken so my poor child risks a skull fracture every 10 minutes while we are shopping. I really don't understand. When you go shopping with three children, one who can't stay sitting, the other sliding on her knees down the isle, and the other (no joke) on top of the shelves because she thought that they looked like fun to climb, all I need is a cart that takes an army of men to turn, or a broken wheel, or one that squeeks so loud your kids feel that it is competition to be louder than it, to draw more attention to our little circus! I honestly hate going grocery shopping for fact that I have to use a cart! On the positive side, atleast they are free to use because in Canada it costs $1.00 to use a cart and do you know how upset I would be to have to pay a buck to get a crappy cart and inflict grocery shopping pain?

Happy 6th Birthday Kaitlyn!

I feel so old! I have a 6 year old! Kaitlyn wanted a birthday party this year and so we let her invite some friends! She had a butterfly/bug party and it turned our really cute. She has also begged and begged for a pinata! They had so much fun with it. I the middle of the party Shaylee threw up (ofcourse it can not be uneventful, not that 10, 6 year olds weren't enough :) )! So I ran in the bathroom to clean her up and decided to throw in some rolls of toilet paper so they could wrap each other up like cocoons. They loved it and I now have a huge bag of T.P. to use! Kaitlyn had such a wonderful birthday, and was spoiled rotten! Thanks to all of our family and friends that came to celebrate with us! We love you Kaitlyn!

Shaylee's Finger :(

We were at the grocery store doing so major shopping and we had come out to the car. Shaylee opened her car door and pinched her finger between her door and the SUV next to us. It made a huge blood blister and it blew out the top of her finger and she started to bleed everywhere. At the same time I was taking Jake out of the shopping cart and he had wet through his clothes (I ofcourse did not have his diaper bag or spare clothes), and Kaitlyn is screaming at the top of her lungs "She is going to die, Mom, Shaylee is dying!" Oh, and there was a full grocery cart and none of the kids were hooked in! So yah, I took a deep breath, stuck Jake in the car, wrapped Shaylee's finger up with something, told Kaitlyn to calm down and get in the car, and found a way sweet girl to help me unload my groceries. We were then off to the hospital for stitches. Mind you that the whole way Kaitlyn is crying and screaming that Shaylee's going to die which really calmed Shaylee down. I tried to call Kirt so he could meet me because I wasn't excited to juggle my 3 children who where having their own personal disasters, on my own. So Kirt met me, took Jake home and changed him, and came back to help hold Shaylee down during her stitches. It was one dramatic day to say the least! Shay's finger is now much better, thank goodness, because I had gone through 2 boxes of bandaides in 1 week.

Kaitlyn's Award!

We are so proud of Kaitlyn. She made this picture of her climbing her favorite tree and turned it in for the reflections contest. The theme was "Wow"... and she titled her picture "Wow, look how high I can climb!" She was in the primary level, which is K-2nd grade, and won out of the the Northern Box Elder County District which included 7 schools! We are so excited for her! Good Job Kaitlyn!!!
