Sundance

A few weekends ago we went up to Sundance to have a picnic and go on a hike to cascade falls. The weather was really nice and Austin said the colors looked like fruity pebbles! We had a lot fun even though we didn't know where we where going we just found the trail head and went up!

white trash

Awhile a go my camera broke, and then my phone. So my mom got a new phone and gave me her old one. After having it for about 1 week this is what happened! So I ordered a new phone cause i couldn't use this P.O.S one anymore and the other day I left to work sad cause I thought I had washed my new phone in the waser!! Zac heard it ringing and found it in the clothes hamper!! My luck with electronics isn't so good!!

Where have you been!

So i told my sister that I don't post cause the only person to look at my blog is my grandma! I guess I was wrong and have a lot of blog stalkers that look at my blog! haha But there where a lot of comments of people saying "it is about time" "we missed you" "it has been such a long time since you posted" and so forth. There are alot of you that haven't posted since AUG yeah mine was JULY but still I am not the only slacker! I wish I could say the reason I havn't blogged is cause my husband surprised me with a 3 week trip to Europe followed by a week long cruise to the Bahamas! The scary picture I posted above was me and Kiley relaxing in the pool by the beach in Florida! Just kidding it was Park City

Addison's First Haircut

When Addison was around a year her hair started to have natural curl to it, so I didn't want to cut the cute little curls off. As her hair got longer the cute curls weren't so cute anymore and it started to look more like a stringy mullet. So here she is with her new look, she doesn't look so baby anymore. She looks more like a big girl now! (that makes me sad)

Addison's First Haircut

I am making a POST !

I know it has been months since i posted. The only good reason I can come up with is my camera died, and I spend all of my free time looking at all the other cute blogs. So for all of you Blog Stalker's this is for you!!!

More BaseBall Pics

Here are some more Pictures of Austin playing Ball. He is so good and he is starting to get competitive. When he gets someone out on base he tells them they are out and they need to go sit in the dugout. He is also very nice when he plays he tells the runners when to go, he will even tell them if they can run an extra base! He is really a natural athlete. He does not get that from me, i can barely walk without falling down! haha

Raspberry Shakes

When we where up in Bear Lake we went and got some of the famous Raspberry Shakes. They we so dang dang good and they are HUGE. So the boys shared one, Kiley and I shared one and Jared and Addison where going to share one. When Addison saw Jared's cup and then looked at her cup she decided that she didn't want to share she wanted BOTH. And of coarse we do what ever she wants so she won't cry. But she still cries even when she gets what she wants. ( you think we would learn) So when she wasn't looking or couldn't see through the crocidle tears Jared would steal a bite or two! We Love Addison to death cause she is so darn cute but there are days i wish she weren't so cute cause then maybe it would be easy to tell her NO!!!

Bear Lake

Here are some pictures from when we went up to Bear Lake. We sat on the beach for about 30min and then we left. The wind was blowing so the sand was hitting us and it hurt! So we went back to the condo and swam. We had to beg the kids to get out.

ART

If I asked you who do you think did this art what would you say? Austin, Zac or maybe Addison, the answer to that question is Jared/Me. Jared drew the picture and i painted it (Jared can draw basic things pretty good.) The little person with babies on her lap (yes those are babies) was done by me. Jared told me what needed to be done and I tried to do it. I have NO artistic talent as you can see. So when I say i can't draw a stick figure i am serious. The reason behind the art is, Jared had to take an art class so that he can teach school. So now we just wait until a Principle will hire him.

Austin playing ball

Austin up to bat! I thought i had more pictures of Austin playing ball. He isn't on a good team this year, it is like watching T-ball all over agian. The kids don't know where to throw the ball or they run with the ball. Austin gets bugged by it. He is doing good this year loves to play first, or pitcher (which is really just to hand the play to the coach so he can pitch it. He played catcher for the first time at his last game and now likes that postion. He truley likes any postion that there is a lot of action. I told him to catch the foul balls in the air and the batter would be out so he said ok, and he caught the next foul ball. He would like to play longer this summer so i am going to try and find a excelerted team that he can play on.

T-Ball

KILEY playing t-ball. She plays for the Royals, watching t-ball is funny. They catch the ball and then wait until the coach tells them where to throw it. Kiley says it is fun to play.

Kiley Graduation

Kiley graduated from Kindergarten on May 22. She is so excited to move on to 1st grade. She already has her lunch number memorized! She has grown so much this past year, she had her kindergarten test on wed and got 100% and all she could do was smile and talk about the chocolate kisses that Mrs. Davis gave her.

2nd grade singing

2nd grade performance

The boys had there 2nd grade assembly. Austin does not like to perform in front of people, but when he said his part he did really good. Zac loves to perform and was very dramatic when he said his part and did the actions to the song.

Spring Break

Here are some of are SPRING BREAK pictures. (taken almost 2mo. ago) We went to moab and had a blast. We hiked a ton and the kids never complained. As you can see in one of the pictures Addison had one of her fits, I think that it is a standard thing for her to do while we are on vacation. For anyone who hasn't been to moab it is highly recomended. But make sure you go spring or fall, I think in the summer it would be way to hot.

Piano

Austin and Zac take piano lesson and they are doing so good. Zac loves to make up ending to his songs. The only way I figured this out was the end of his songs keep changing (the new endings are in tune.) One day I asked why the endings keep changing and he told me he likes to make up new endings.

Potty Training!

Today Addison took off her diaper and told me it was stinky. I asked her if she wanted to sit on the potty, she said "yes!" She then went into the bathroom and went potty. I was so excited so i put her pony panies on, but an hour later she was all wet. I think we are getting closer to being potty trained. I bought her some M&M's so when ever she does go potty she can have some. Addison LOVES chocolate, so I know the bribe will work.

April Fools

This is what we ate for dinner on April Fools. I told the kids they could eat dessert first, (the cupcakes) and then dinner (the funny looking meat with mashed potatoes. They thought that it was cool that they got to eat dessert first. Austin took a bite a of the frosting and said that it tasted like mashed potatoes. We then told them april fools. The cupcakes where really meat with whipped mashed potatoes on top. The funny looking meat was a brownie and the mashed potatoes and gravy was vanilla icecream with carmel sauce. The kids where happy when i told them the funny looking meat was a brownie, they said they thought it looked burnt.

Birds

Kiley was excited to tell me that she can hear the birds again. Most of the snow is gone, and it is getting a little warmer. Addison and toby love to go outside and play. Toby loves to sit in the sun to get warm. Hope everyone has a good day!

Presidents Day

On monday the kids went out to play in the backyard. I bundled them up from there heads to there toes. I went out side with them to hurry and grab something in just a t-shirt, and it was so dang warm. This makes me want spring to come just that much sooner.

So for presidents day we went to lunch and then took them to a movie. The movie was only .50 a person that is so dang cheap. My kids love to go to the movies. I also needed to run to sams club and all of my kids started to groan, until I told Austin that he could look for an I-pod. It is so funny how he changed his attitude and got all of the other kids to do the same.

Don't break the ice

Jared, Jon, Jason, Austin and Zac, went on a boys day out. They went down to Yuba Lake and went ice fisred said they walked out on to the lake a little ways and drilled a couple of holes to fish out of. He said the ice was at least 12" deep. They caught a total of 8 fish. When ever Jared or Jon caught a fish, they would let the boys reel them in. Austin and Zac thaught that is was really cool to reel the fish in. They all came back with a little bit of a sunburn on there face. Jared said that it was a really nice day for fishing & they all had a lot of FUN.
