Doing the Dishes

I turned my back for a second to search for a new package of diapers, and Payton decided to help with the dishes, so funny!

New Beginnings

Finally updating, sorry it took so long. Having too much fun with the kids this summer, and so busy getting everyone back in the swing of things with school etc.

Here are pictures of our new house. We are loving the pretty area we live in, the kids are making new friends, and we are unpacking, slowly, but enjoying our new house.

And here is one of my favorite parts of our new house, it has an awesome kitchen, and yes, it is ALWAYS this clean!!!:)

We really had fun exploring all the trails and open space around where we live this summer.


Emma and Baily at the lake by our house.

Trevor and Taylor by the lake too.

Where we rode our bikes to and had FHE the other night, and the sunset was beautiful from there!



And . . . I got my new camera and am having too much fun taking pictures with all this new fun scenery and cute kids, just no time to post them! Will be posting a link soon to a site with all the cupcake recipes my sisters and I made for my brother's wedding! Life is so busy, but very happy!

Here We Go!

We are finally moved out of our home in Utah, and have arrived in Colorado. Was definitely hard leaving our wonderful neighborhood and great friends, but we feel this will be really good for our family as we move forward to a new adventure! We'll be staying with family until the end of June. I've been so busy (obviously) so I've got some pictures to catch up on our last weeks in Utah!
Baily looks like this pretty much every day right now, she loves her dress ups!

Trevor has spent the last couple MONTHS building an airplane he wanted to fly to Colorado with us. He was dead serious about getting it in the air. He had half the neighborhood helping him, was reading books about airplanes, and was getting supplies from everyone's junk piles! He had plans to put a tv in the plane, snacks, get parachutes, and have Taylor as his copilot. We had to finally put a launch deadline, so we could have time to cut it up to put in the trash, which was the saddest part, although he already has plans for a new plane here in Colorado.

Trevor finished up soccer and did a great job.

He also performed his 2nd grade opera. The class wrote the lyrics, the story line, and designed the scenery. He was a customer, and it was very cute!

We did an Easter Sunday recap, since we didn't have a chance to take pictures on Easter Sunday, so we just took them a couple weeks later.
End of year music festival for the kid's school, Trevor was a lion and sang "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" . . . and I will put Taylor's picture in later, she sang "It's a Small World".



Payton in her first Easter dress, what a cutie!

Payton playing in our backyard, singing "Popcorn Popping".

The kids had little parties with some friends before we left, here is Taylor with some of her great friends.
Trevor outside playing basketball with his buddies.

There are many dear friends we will miss a lot! But are looking forward to our next adventure, will post our new house when we get in it in a couple weeks!

Great Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day today. Jon made me breakfast, and dinner. The kids had made me sweet cute presents and notes all over. And they all helped me do what I really wanted to have for Mother's day, time before church, when everyone was clean and dressed up, to take some good family pictures. I've been trying to take these for 6 months, but with the chaos that is getting ready for church, and Jon always having morning meetings, we haven't been able to. But today we got it done, so I'll be posting some of those fun ones later this week as soon as I have time to edit them. But for now, here are my cuties. I'm one lucky Mom to have all of these crazy kids, and to have an amazing Mom, and a very sweet Mother-in-Law!

Payton is 1!

Payton had her first birthday last week. She is so fun. She had a rough start at first with her colic and reflux, but she is doing great now and we are lucky to have her! She loves being held my Mommy, playing with her siblings, and giving Daddy loves. And she loves to eat!

Payton had lots of help with her presents!

She was amazed when we put her cupcake in front of her.

Happy Birthday Payton girl!

Baily Turned 3!

Baily turned 3, ok so that was over a week ago, but we are busy with life. I took her out for a photo shoot in her dress Grandma got her; we had so much fun! She is such a doll, so full of life, and a challenge to keep up with sometimes! She loves all things Princesses, ballerinas, and pink! I let the kids help make their own birthday cakes, so she picked out (I know, it is a suprise) pink cake, with pink frosting and sprinkles. We added purple peeps just for fun. She loved making it, would hardly eat any of, but her siblings enjoyed it! We love her, she has been my little sun shine since she was born (AND my only daughter to not scream and me for the first 4 months of life!) She also got a puzzle, since she adores puzzles; and she puts it together at least 5 times a day now. We love you Baily Girl! (aka Bibbles, don't ask, nickname from siblings!)

Learning to put up 3 fingers is tricky!
