Missing Big J

We shipped Joren off to Wyoming for the week to stay with Lucas and Shellie. We are missing him soooo much. It is not the same around here without our fun-loving, cute-cheeked, big beautiful-eyed little boy! We miss his fun personality and his snuggles!

He is having fun in Wyoming and Lucas and Shellie are taking him to do lots of fun things.
We can't wait to see him on Friday!!!

His nap spot

A couple of days ago I decided to put Terek in the corner of the sectional for his nap. What do you know! He seems to nap great there! He naps longer and if he's awakened he just rolls over and goes back to sleep. It's almost like he thinks he's missing out on the action if he's upstairs! What a silly little boy!

2 Wheels

Look at Joren!!! I knew he could do it!

I've been trying to organize our garage. Since the kids only like to ride their scooters I put hooks on the ceiling and hung their bikes... what do you know... now they want to ride their bikes! Joren learned really quick how to ride! Brenner still doesn't want to ride his but I'm sure he will some day.

Dragon Award

Brenner got the dragon award at his school this past week. Its an award the kids get for reading, exercising, attendance and being able to pass off specific goals! Way to go Brenner!

Hogle zoo

We decided that since the kids were off track we should take them to do something fun. So Cami and I headed to Hogle Zoo.

We had such a fun time that we stayed until the zoo close and we could have stayed another hour.

14 Years!

Wow... 14 years ago I married my sweetheart! I am constantly being told how lucky I am to have found Ryan.... it is soooo true! Ryan is amazing! He treats me so well and puts up with me and all of my craziness! I love you tons honey!!!

Fun in the St. George Sun!

The kids and I just got back from a week long vacation to Sunny St. George!

My parents house has roaches, black widows and snakes.... but aside from that, we had heaps of fun!!!

When in St. George, it is imperative that every activity involves water! So, we headed up to Red Cliffs... for pics, check out Lucas and Shellie's blog here. I didn't seem to have my camera with me:(

We also headed up to Zion with Logan, Sydney and Tanner.

Terek was amazed by how tall the rocks were!

We also had a lot of fun at the splash parks in St. George. Seriously, where were these when I was a kid? I had to play in the ditch in my back yard!


The funny thing is that after all that time in the sun, we come home and get a sunburn at Brenner's soccer game!

Joren's Preschool Graduation

My sweet Joren graduated from his first year of Preschool!!! They had a cute program where they sang some songs and then the teacher called them up and handed them their diploma.
Joren is such an easy going kid... most of the time. But he did NOT want to wear his gown! I had to bribe him with a "prize at Target." He didn't like it, but he finally put it on.

I even managed to get him to keep it on long enough to get this super cute pic!

Congrats on Graduating Joren!!!
