We had a great time carving and painting pumpkins(sorry about the pics of naked kids, I'm a little bit of a clean freak) and eating soup with my family. Halloween night was spent at Marc's parents where we enjoyed good chili and then trick or treating with both our families.

Halloween festivities

2011-11-05T16:44:00.001-07:00

We went on a spooky hayride with
G-ma to start the month off. Although it wasn't at all spooky like it said it was fun being with family. We later took the kids to a haunted house of a friend and our girls were in tears but our brave boy. Maybe they are not ready for spooky yet.

Lacie turns 10

2011-11-05T14:12:00.000-07:00

So I am a very bad mom and did not get many pictures of Lacie's birthday party. We celebrated with a night owl party. It was very busy, hence no pictures. We made cute owl crafts( that took forever to do), played hard and enjoyed the night. Lacie is such a fun and spunky girl. I wish I could bottle her energy and use it. She brings sunshine to my day and is one of my greatest blessings. I love her so very much and makes me a very proud mama!

Playing catch up

2011-11-05T13:57:00.001-07:00

First day of school 2011 at our new school Somerset Academy.
Loryn started her 2nd year of preschool. She has a new teacher Mrs. Juliette and is so excited to go to school. So much so she has to be reminded very often to stop talking.

Mason started 2nd grade. He is opening up a little more and not so shy during class.He is most definantelyhis father's son.

Lacie has started 5th grade and is really enjoying her new school and making new friends. She really likes that she gets to move classrooms but makes for a back pack that is heavier then herself.

Morgan has started 6th grade and is offically a middle schooler. I am not sure where the time went with her. She is still my social butterfly and wants to be involved in everything at school. She is most excited for the spring fling dance :(

2011-08-23T12:10:00.000-07:00

I have a new neice Jaelynn, who I know share a birthday with. She is so adorable. The wierd thing is my sister is now a grandma.

Morgan turns 11

2010-12-24T10:59:00.001-08:00

Morgan has turned 11 and I keep looking at her and thinking where has the time gone. I was truely blessed to be sent her to me. She is everyhting I want to be. She is my child with the biggest heart. I have to look to her alot of the time because she is an example to me of beng like Christ.I love her testimony and am strengthened everyday by her faith. She is such a great big sister and is the second mom in the house. I love that she is the peacemaker in our home and I am grateful for that alot. I love her sweet and caring attitude. Morgan is such a people pleaser and is always trying to keep everyone happy around her. I love you Morgan and am so proud of the beautiful and loving young lady you have become. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of my baby girl. Yes,she will always be my baby girl!

2010-12-24T10:31:00.000-08:00

We had yet another fun and exhausting trip to Disneyland. I love going this time of year. It just adds to the Christmas spirit. I look forward to spending time with my family and watching the excitement on the kids faces.It doesn't get much better then this for our family.
A family must. Waiting in the Tiki room.

The longest line we stood in was for Tangled. It was a must for Loryn. She is her favorite. I always love seeing my girls see thier favorite princess. There is magic in their eyes. Loryn was being a little shy and didn't want to go in once we were up. I didn't wait in a 45 minute line to leave. She was fine as long as Flynn Rider wasn't around.It was so funny how she just kept looking at Tangled,like is this for real.

Mason didn't feel to good the whole day but boy did he perk up when he was chosen to be a Jedi. He was looking forward to doing that the most. So I was so glad when he was chosen. It was fun watching him totally get into it when he was fighting the bad guys. Way to go Jedi Mason.

We always have to go walk around Downtown Disney.

Loryn turns 4

2010-11-20T14:28:00.001-08:00

I wish I could have kept her a baby forever.We had a fun princess tea party for her and a couple of her besties.She had a great time. Loryn is such a fire cracker.She is so sweet and yet so sassy at the same time.I love to listen to her sing and hear her playing make believe with her barbies.

Spooky chili night

2010-11-03T13:39:00.001-07:00

We always go to Marc's families halloween night for chili and treats.I love how everyone comes dressed up, especially the adults.We also go trick or treating with them. I have so much candy I get sick looking at it.Good food, good family, and always good fun. What more can you ask for!

My little trick or treaters.

Halloween at the Dunes

2010-11-03T13:21:00.000-07:00

This year the kids chose to go to the sand dunes and camp for halloween. This was the first time we missed our trunk or treat but our kids did not seem to mind, so we headed out of town. They had such a great time riding on the atv's. My kids are always in heaven if it has anything to do with camping.They rode on a trailer to the different camps and trick or treated, which they thought was so fun. Now they want to do it every year.I think we took more sand home with us then was the at the dunes.

Carvin pumpkins

2010-11-03T13:13:00.001-07:00

This year we had my family over for soup and carving pumpkins.We all had a great time.The kids enjoyed painting theirs, while the adults carve one. I love how the holiday's always bring the family together more often.

Lacie's 9th Bday

2010-10-11T17:00:00.001-07:00

We had a great night celebrating Lacie's birthday. There was alot of glitz and glamor going on at out house. My mom and sister are the greatest. Mom did facials, Jamie did hair and make up, and I did nails. Jamie got us the hook ups again with her friends limo. The girls acted like rock stars all night. I still can't believe my Lacie is 9. What a sweet and spunky girl she is. She brings so much light to our family. I love you Lacie!

Duck Crrek

2010-10-02T13:03:00.001-07:00

We love to go to duck creek every year and be with family. It always so peaceful up there,and I wish I could stay. It seems all of lives stresses go away when you are up in the mountains. Maybe it is because you are closer to God in the mountains. There is so much fun things to do up there. I love how the kids play outside all day and there is not much bickering. I love spending time with my kids and seeing the joy on there sweet faces.

First day of school

2010-10-02T12:34:00.000-07:00

Well the kids are just getting out of school to go right back. They had a short summer because of year around school. We had a fun time off together but they were glad to be back with their friends. I can't believe Morgan is in 5th and my Loryn is in preschool. I actually have 3 hours to myself 3 days a week while Loryn is in school. All the kids have great teachers and I am excited to see what they acomplish this year. I am also on the board in pta now that I have some extra time to myself and can spend more time at the school.

Roo Farm

2010-10-02T12:24:00.001-07:00

We had a great time at the Roo Farm with Aunt Jamie. The kids loved being able to hold and feed all the animals. The only down fall was it was so stinking hot. Lacie was my most cautious about holding the animals. She is alot like me with animals. They had so many different animals you don't normally see at zoo's. Loryn loved the sloth hanging from the tree. We will have to go back when it is much cooler out.

Catching up

2010-10-02T12:11:00.000-07:00

We had a fun Fourth of July with family. Lots of fun to be had swimming, watching fireworks and spending time with our loved ones.

This Easter we headed out to Nelson, Nv to hang out with the family to celebrate. We had tons of fun walking through old mine shafts, easter egg hunting,playing games, target shooting, and just spending time with loved ones. I am proud to say Marc and I won the adult egg toss, happily not get covered with egg yolk and the adult easter egg hunt. Like always the kids were on a sugar high for days after all the treats. One of my favorite parts is Easter dinner with Marc's family on Sunday. We have fun visiting and eating the best food made with love from his mom. I love holidays and getting to spend time with all those who mean most to us. It was an EGGcellent Easter!

Valentine fun

2010-02-11T19:05:00.000-08:00

A group of my girlfriends and I got together to make Valentine candy boxes for our husbands. I think it was so much fun to make and I think Marc will appreciate it alot more than me buying him a box of chocolates. All of us brought a treat to share and enjoyed chatting while doing our boxes. I like that I was able to personalize it more and leave my own messages to him all wrapped up. I am so grateful for my Valentine and fall in love with him a little more everyday!

So this year I picked these mailboxes up for each of the kids, and everyday until Valentines I leave a little suprise in it for them. Each day the kids hit the door running to see what is in them after school. I have had fun doing this and love to see my kids with smiles on their faces. I love that such simple acts of kindness brings so much happiness.

Here is my dollar store project me and my friend Missy did. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Disney on Ice

2010-02-11T18:46:00.000-08:00

This year all the kids went to the show. Mason was so excited to see the cars. I think that was my favorite part of the show. This was also Loryn's first time going. I love watching the look on their faces. She was happy to see Ariel and wanted ti go right down and see her. My mom and sister spoil my kids with this every year. Not that the show isn't enough they have to buy them one of the toys that are so over priced and all the sweets. This year Morgan said she was to big for the toys and didn't want one. My poor big girl is growing up way to fast. We all had a great time and the kids look forward to this time each year.

Mason is 6

2010-02-11T14:34:00.000-08:00

Of course you can't celebrate your big day without having donuts with G-ma. The kids look forward to this every year.

So my little man turned 6 and boy am I sad. He is growing up before my eyes. I wish I could freeze time or at least slow it down. Mason is such a sweet boy and very loving, especially to his mom. I gladly admit he is a mama's boy. I dread the day he doesn't want to hug and kiss me goodbye. We were going to have a sports party at the park but because of the rain we had to change plans for his party. We stayed in and had a movie and snack night with a bunch of his pals. He wanted all boys, but had to settle on having his 3 sisters there also. It is funny how different all girl parties are to all boy parties. He had a great time and really enjoyed hanging with all boys. I am so grateful for my boy and love him to pieces!

Disneyland 2010

2010-01-10T21:09:00.000-08:00

All Loryn wanted to do the whole day was see Ariel. We had no luck. Loryn kept asking if she was swimming in the water. She was happy to see Minnie and wouldn't let go of her when she was giving her a hug.

">

I know why they call it the happiest place on earth. Our family had such a great time playing at DL. My parents are the best for taking us for Christmas. It was great having my parents, my Sisiter and her hubby and my uncle and his kids with us.My dad drove us up in a bus, which the kids loved. I liked having a bathroom right there for Loryn. Loryn wants to drive a bus around everywhere now. It was a fast and furious day but way worth it. Thr kids were such troopers. We never had one melt down and we walked out of the park at midnight. There were so many fun times and it was so sweet to see Loryn's face looking at all the new things there. We are planning to do the give and day get a day, and go back and spend some more time there soon. Thanks for all the great memories mom and dad. We had a blast!

2010-01-07T19:19:00.000-08:00

I snuck down early to take pictures of what Santa left under the tree. The kids must have been very good this year!

Well this has been a wonderful holiday season. I have so much to be grateful for and have been very blessed during this Christmas season. We have had a wonderful secret santa who has been so generous and has brought a smile to our faces. We had a great time with family and are thankful for all the love they showed us. The kids were spoiled as always. I love seeing the look on their faces when they run down the stairs to see what Santa left for them. My favorite was when Mason got excited about his new church shoes.It doesn't take much to make my kids happy. The girls were excited to got new bedding for their room. Which I am so excited to start decorating. Loryn was all about Ariel and her new doll house.All the kids were happy to get a new ds. My parents surprised us with a trip tp Disneyland, which topped it all off. I have to say this has been a Christmas I will never forget. I am extrememly humbled by the love of my Savior and how he watches over us, in ways that I never imagined and how he works miracles through others. I want to let my family and friends know how much I love them and am thankful they are in my life.

Christmas festivities

2010-01-03T19:50:00.000-08:00

Holiday baking is always a must at our house this time of year. I haven't decided if it is fun or stressful yet. I must be leaning more toward fun though because here I am doing it again. The kids love it and I because of them, I will get over my issues with the mess it makes,lol!

Pictures on Santa's lap

Opportunity Village was alot of fun. We haven't been for a couple of years. The kids had fun riding the train and all the other activities that were their. The fuuny thing was that it got to be so late and it was a school night that after we finished with all the rides we left and realized we didn't even walk through the magical forrest. I guess we will have to try and go back next year and see the main reason to go there.

This year we went to look at Christmas lights in style. My sister's friend took us out in her limo to ride around town. Our kids had so much fun and think that is how we should always look at lights now. They sipped their apple cider and sang carols very loudly! The only thing that was missing was Marc, and the kids were sad he wasn't their to have in the fun.

Morgan's 10

2010-01-03T19:20:00.000-08:00

So my baby girl has hit the double digit's and it is so sad. She is closer to becoming a preteen and I am not ready for that at all. It is so weird that when she is asking for presents now it is never toys anymore. Her wish list's are getting more expensive. She had a fun jacuzzi birthday party this year with a bunch of her girlfriends. Only in Vegas can you have a swim party in December. Morgan would live in water if she could. There are so many ways Morgan has blessed my life and reason's that I love her but I thought I would share 10 of them:

1 I love her sweet testimony of the church
2 I love her desire to always choose the right
3 I love her giggle. It still is as infectious as it was when she was a baby.
4 I love how she always tries to be the peacemaker and keep everybody happy at home.
5 I love to hear her sing and play piano
6 I love her tender heart.
7 I love that she is always the first to help and serve others
8 I love her hugs and that it is still cool to do it in public
9 I love how she takes care and looks out for her younger siblings. She is the second mommy around here.
10 I love that she is ours! She is truly one of my biggest blessings here on earth and I love her.

Loryn's 3

2009-11-24T21:15:00.000-08:00

Nothing funner then hanging out with your favorite girlfriends on your birthday.

Having our traditional doughnuts with G-ma on her birthday,Yum!

So my baby girl has turned 3 and I can hardly believe she has been here that long. I guess I have been trying to keep her my baby forever. She is quite the little lady. She talks so much and lets me know everyday that she is a big girl, not a baby. She is such a princess. I so love this little girl and can't imagine my life without her. She brings sunshine to my day and is such a sweet spirit. Loryn was so excited to have her birthday. She walked around singing Happy Birthday to herself for a week. Her favorite thing was all her princess barbies. We can never go anywhere without them now.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween this year. We were so busy and sugared out. I think I am still on a sugar high. From all the ward parties to family parties, we were kept busy. The kids loved it because they were able to wear their costumes so much. I love this time of year, but it seems to go by so quickly. I love all the memories that are created and being able to be with loved ones and friends.

Lacie's baptism day

2009-10-24T20:35:00.000-07:00

Today was a very exciting day around our house. Lacie was so excited for her baptism this afternoon. I love the spirit that is felt in our house on these special days. I can still remember Lacie in her first white dress and how happy I felt. Now we are celebrating her baptism and second white dress. I have so much joy in my heart. As a mom, right now in my life I can not imagine no greater joy then seeing my kids get baptized. I am so grateful that my children have a dad that can baptize them. What a special day for Marc and Lacie. One I am sure neither of them will ever forget. I am so proud of Lacie and the sweet and christ like girl she has become. Lacie told me today that she is trying to be like Jesus everyday, that is why she wants to be like Jesus and be baptized like him. I love you Lacie and am so pleased with the choice you have made today. Thank you to all of our family and friends who came and celebrated with us. We love you all.

Big girls trip

2009-10-08T19:50:00.000-07:00

We had a couple houes before the show, so we decided to play some minature golf. We had a blast. We all were great big kids. I don't think the teenagers behind us were to impressed. The girls showed us bigger kids how to play. They kept getting hole in one's.

Every year my mom and sister take the big girls to St. George to watch a play and have a slumber party. This year we watched Annie. We really enjoyed it. When we got their it was raining. The girls were very worried they were going to cancel the show. Morgan said a prayer to herself and then turned to me and said, that Jesus would stop the rain so we could watch the play. I am always amazed at Morgan and the faith she has. She is such an example to me. I wish I always had the faith that she has. It did stop raining and we got to enjoy the show. The girls always look forward to going every year. I love these little traditions we have started. This is what matters most in life. Spending time with loved ones. Next year we might add boys to our club, because Tarzan is playing. Mason would love it.

Play House Disney

2009-10-04T20:02:00.000-07:00

Saturday my sister took Loryn to Play house disney. Loryn was so excited to go.She wanted to go to Aunt Jamie's house the night before to stay. She had such a great time. When she got home all she kept doing is showing me how Tiger jumped. I have the best sister on earth. My kids love her and are always so excited to do things with her. Jamie always say's her job is to spoil them, and boy does she. There is no doubt that my kids would live with her over me. She is always there at everything for the kids ans is their biggest fan. My sister is one of the most giving and warm people I know. I hope one day I can grow up to be just like her. She is and will always be my best friend. We love you Jamie, and are so grateful you are OURS!

Alone time

2009-09-25T12:45:00.000-07:00

Marc and I took Lacie for some alone time with us to celebrate her birthday. She loves stuffed animals, so we decided to take her to build a bear. She was so excited to be there. It made her day when there was an owl. Crazy I know, the girl loves owls. Anything she see's with an owl on it, she wants. It was so fun to spend time with just her. We really get to just see her little personality, which is quite big for such a little thing. We told her she could pick anywhere to eat. The funny thing is she wanted Wendy's. We never go there. I kept prompting her for something not related to fast food. It was her special day so we gave her what she wanted. One day the boys are going to like that she is such a cheap date. I am so grateful Heavenly Father sent her sweet spirit to us. We love you little Lacie bug!

Happy Birthday Lacie

Today we celebrated Lacie" 8 Birthday at the skating ring with lots of family and friends. We had a lot of fun, and alot of bumps and bruises. Poor Mason I think was on the ground the majority of the time. But he kept picking himself up and trying. Lacie had a blast. Thank you to all who came and wished Lacie a happy birthday. I think everyone will sleep good tonight. We love you Lacie!

Back to school

2009-08-24T17:26:00.001-07:00

Well we survived our first day back to scool. We meaning me. It is always hard to see my babies moving on and getting older. I can't believe Morgan is in 4 and my little tink is in 3. The hardest thing about today was my little man going to kindergarden. I was fine until he gave me a hug and nearly chocked me and wouldn't let go. It is so funny how all the moms are crying. I am not sure who it is harder on, them or us. I am so proud of all my kids. They are truely the biggest blessing in my life. They are all such great kids and always try their best in all they do. I couldn't ask for anything more. Their dad gave them great fathers blessings, which always makes me feel so much better sending them off. I am so grateful that they have the priesthood in there lives. I know how great it is for them, since I didn't have the priesthood at home growing up. I am thankful everyday that I have a husband worthy to hold the priesthood. The only bad thing about the day, the girls said was, they can't believe they have homework on the first day. Welcome back to school!

Night out with my girls

2009-07-22T11:45:00.001-07:00

This past weekend the girls and I went to their first concert. The girls were so excited to see Demi Lovato and David Archuleta. I told them if they wanted to go they would have to earn the money to pay for thier tickets. They need to know that I am not made of money. I think they appreciated it way more to. They went to G-ma's and earned the rest that they needed. Morgan was so into the concert. She was dancing and screaming, she loved Demi Lovato. She was really impressed that David was mormon. Our friends Missy and Rylie came along for the fun. The girls had a blast and now want to go to the Jonas Brothers concert. I guess they better get to saving. Thanks girls for a fun night out, I love you.

Another year towards eternity

2009-06-28T20:57:00.000-07:00

Well today Marc and I are celebrating 12 years together. Yesterday we went out to a wonderful dinner and a movie. I love spending one on one time with Marc. Life is so busy now it is nice just being together. I feel so blessed to have him in my life as my husband, friend, and father of our kids. Marc is truely the love of my life, and I am excited to share eternity with him. Marc,I love you. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for sending you to me!

Mason's preschool graduation

2009-06-28T20:49:00.000-07:00

Well I can't believe Mason has graduated from preschool and has moved up to kindergarden. It makes me sad to see him grow up. He is my little boy and I would like to keep it that way forever. He is so sweet and loving towards me. He is all boy but knows how to make my heart melt. Mrs. Tate said he is the dare devil in class always falling and rolling on the floor, to bumping into walls to make everyone laugh. He is going to do great at school, and is so excited to go to big boys school. I think I am going to have a harder time then he will. I love my little man and am so proud of him everyday.

End of soccer

2009-06-17T21:52:00.000-07:00

Mason's first shot at soccer is over. He had alot of fun playing and running around. I think he spent most of the time on the ground. Right when he was getting the hang of things it ended. He came close several times on scoring a goal. He finally told me he was just to little to score a goal,maybe next time. He is so funny. Mason really enjoyed playing goalie, probably because he could dive on and touch the ball. Mason can hardly wait until it starts again, so he can play with all of his friends again. He did ask if he could play all sports that have a ball. He is such a boy. Can't wait to watch him play again.

Day at the ER

2009-06-10T17:54:00.001-07:00

Today we spent the day at the er with Loryn. She fell down the stairs and hit the railing. So I thought I was ok with blood seeing as I worked around, but apparently not my own kids. I passed out with her sitting in my lap trying to stop the bleeding. I felt so bad for her. Loryn is quite the trooper and did so well being glued back together. Hopefully it heals well!

We had a great time at the cancer walk on Friday. It started at 7 p.m. and went until7 a.m. the next morning. We made until 3 a.m. but I kept thinking I better get some sleep because I do still have kids to chase around the next day. All our family came out to walk and raise money for cancer in memory of our grandma. She was there though cheering us on in spirit. The kids had so much fun running around with their cousins. They finally fell asleep around 11:30 except for Morgan who was in it for the long haul. She kept saying she wasn't tired but when we got her in the car and she wasn't moving, she was out. Thanks to all who donated, it was appreciated. Hopefully one day we will find a cure. Thanks Jamie for all your hard work putting it together. We even took the trophy home for best camp! We love and miss you Granny Great! Can't wait to do it again next year.

Easter 2009

We had a very fun and busy Easter as usual. The kids always look forward to spending it with all their family. The easter egg hunt was a hit with the kids and adults this year. It ended in a big marshmellow fight. I never thought they could be used as a weapon, but they can really hurt. It didn't help that they were marshmellows on steroids, they were huge. My family always has a blast when we get together. Morgan ended up with $16 in her eggs. We also enjoyed the traditional egg dying. The kids were up bright and early Sunday searching for their baskets. It worked out good though because we got pictures in their Easter outfits and was on church on time. Easter dinner is always a favorite. My mother in law is the best cook! Thanks to all my family for making Easter great.

Arrrr Matey!

2009-04-03T11:30:00.001-07:00

We finally finished Mason's room. I think it turned out really cute. We have had some of Marc's older brothers furniture when he was a boy that had pirate ships on it, so why not do a pirate themed room. Michelle was so great to help with all the cute added touches. She is very creative and made the cute letters. Mason really likes it. Thanks Aunt Shell for all the help. Now onto the girls rooms. For some reason my life is not complete if I don't have a million different projects going on in my house. The girls are totlaly excited to do their rooms. Morgan wants to do trading spaces with Lacie and do eachothers rooms. That will be fun and interesting.

Monster Trucks

2009-03-30T15:14:00.000-07:00

Mason had an exciting weekend with his Aunt Jamie, Uncle Randy,Papa, and G-ma. His first trip to the monster trucks was a blast. Mason is all about cars and wheels, so it didn't get much better then that. He kept telling me how big the trucks were. He really loved the dog truck and even got a dog truck pillow and shirt. Thanks everyone for taking Mason to the trucks, he will be talking about it for awhile, I am sure. You can tell he had a fun and long day with him asleep on uncle Randy's shoulders. My kids can sleep anywhere. They get that from me.

#1 Dad

2009-03-26T19:45:00.000-07:00

I have the best dad in the world. For Valentines my dad gave me a heart glass bottle with pills in it. Every week I open a pill and I get to do something with him. It has been the best gift I have ever gotten from him. TIME with him. My dad never fails to amaze me. Tonight he bought me some plants and planted them in my planter box and then took me for a smoothie. My dad has always made me feel extra loved and always brings a smile to my face. Thanks Dad for making me feel so special , I love you!

First day of soccer

2009-03-25T20:47:00.000-07:00

Mason started his first time in soccer today. Most the team are is friends from the ward. It is so fun seeing them play together. I think he did pretty well for his first time. He is definantely all boy, and anything that has a ball is great to him. He was so excited all day waiting to go. He had alot of fun. I bet he sleeps good tonight. I love watching my children do things they enjoy, and Mason enjoyed soccer.

Seeing clearer

2009-03-20T15:19:00.000-07:00

Well Morgan has been complaining that she was having a hard time seeing and she was right. She was so excited to get her new glasses, most likely because they were pink highschool musical ones. I only hope I am not buying her new ones every month. It is still wierd to see her in them. Morgan is so funny because she tells me she feels smarter all ready and loves to read so much more. Maybe that is because she can see now.

Girls weekend

2009-03-09T19:51:00.000-07:00

It was a relaxing weekend full of fun. I love spending time with my family. Their was 15 of us girls hanging out, but I most enjoyed hanging with my mom and sister. I have a wonderful husband that loves me and I thank him for taking care of the kiddies. As much fun as I was having being able to do as I please, I was so happy to be home with my family. It's funny how fast you miss them when your gone. Thanks girls for a wonderful weekend!

My wonderful sister spent Saturday pampering my mom and I with hair treatments, facials, manicures and pedicures, and finished us off with hair and makeup. She even put fake eyelashes on me which was a first. My sister is so thoughtful to treat us so good. She is definantely one of a kind. Thank you Jamie, I love you.

This weekend I went on a girls weekend with all the girls in my family to Santa Monica. I had so much fun i didn't want to leave. We stayed in this cute retro looking hotel, walking distance from great shopping.

Happy Birthday to me

2009-02-23T21:03:00.000-08:00

I feel pretty special today. This month has been a pretty tough month, and Morgan told my mom she wanted to throw me a surprise party so that I could be happy. I love how my girls are aware of feelings and try to do whatever they can to make you feel good. Boy did they. Thay were so excited planning it. They didn't miss anything even down to the decorations in my favorite color. My kids truely are my greatest gift and I am so blessed to be their mom. Thank you to all my family and friends who came. I had a blast, you are all so wonderful. A special thank you to my girls, you are soooo sweet and I love you!

Valentines at the sand dunes

2009-02-18T14:07:00.000-08:00

This year we went to the sand dunes to play. We had alot of fun four wheel riding, rolling and sledding down the hills. The kids never stopped the whole weekend. I swear we must have brought half the dunes home with us. I am still finding sand in places I never thought it could get. My dad always plans a great valentines for us. We went on a scavenger hunt with a metal detector and got many great treasures. My favorite is the glass bottle with capsules in it. Each week my dad will give me the gift of time, where we can spend one on one time together doing fun things. I love my dad and am so thankful for all that he does for me. This was a great weekend with the ones I love.

Happy 5 Birthday Mason

2009-01-28T12:59:00.001-08:00

I cannot believe that my little man has turned 5. I so wish he would stay little forever. Mason is such a sweet boy. Yes I happily admit he is a mama's boy. He always is the first to tell me he loves me and is so cuddly with me. I hope this will never change. We had a fun day with him bowling as a family. He was so happy to get his big boy bike and cowboy boots. He wants to be just like his papa! Happy Birthday Mason bug, I love you!!

Anderson Dairy tour

2009-01-23T15:27:00.000-08:00

Today we went Anderson Dairy for a tour and of course the ice cream. All the kids were out of school, so we needed something to do to kill some time. They all liked seeing how eveything was made, but Loryn said it best, More ice cream. Nothing beats 10 am ice cream. After we went to G-ma's to burn some calories on the wii.

Glam Night

2009-01-17T14:04:00.000-08:00

Make a Smilebox slideshow

What a fun night we had celebrating Morgan's birthday. She had a sleepover glam night. All the girls were pampered with facials, nails, makeup, and hair. They all looked like little diva's. They even got star treatment with a limo ride to luv-its, and a ride down the strip. They had so much fun. Even the adults had fun, just wish we were getting the pampering instead. Now all the girls keep asking when they get to get facials again. I have created some monsters. Sorry to all the other girls mom's. It was a very loud and late night, and a very earlier morning. It was a very fun and Morgan was so happy. Thank you to Mom, Aunt Jamie, and Aunt Michelle for doing all the pampering, we love you! You guys are the best. It was a very memorable night!

Could it be?

2009-01-12T19:40:00.001-08:00

Today was a first. None of my kids even wanted to sit on a potty before 3. Maybe she just wants to be like Lacie. Lacie went potty and then Loryn was all go. With the help of jellybeans, Loryn actually went peepee on the potty. She was pushing so hard that she was even surprised when poopoo came out. I am not going to get to excited about it, but man would it be great to have her join the big girls club! Cross your fingers for me.

Wagon ride

2009-01-12T19:20:00.000-08:00

Two peas in a pod. We always joke that Lacie and Loryn are twins born 5 years apart. It is so crazy how much their personalities and looks are so alike. I guess it is better they weren't real twins, I don't think I could handle them together.

It has been awhile since the kids have played with this wagon at G-ma and Papa's. I think Morgan has outgrown it a little. It seems like yesterday that Morgan was a baby riding in it. Man does time fly by. The kids were having so much fun playing in it. Mason thought he was so strong, pulling all his sisters.

HSM on ice

2009-01-08T17:13:00.001-08:00

Last night we went to HSM on ice for a girls night. Every year Aunt Jamie and G-ma take the girls to the Disney on ice show. The girls always have a great time and look forward to it all year. We really missed G-ma, she was home sick.LAcie was excited that Missy and Riley came. Thanks Missy for coming to the show with us. Now it is Mason's turn. Jamie is taking him to the monster trucks when they come to town. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful sister who loves to spend time with my 4 monkeys! Thanks Jamie for all the good times, I love you!

Night owl

2008-12-30T10:56:00.000-08:00

Loryn has turned into our little night owl. She wants to stay up with Marc and I. Maybe that is her way to get one on one time. She is so funny because when we tell her it is time to go to bed, she will break into song. I think she knows it will buy her some extra time. She loves to sing and I love to listen to her. Loryn will always say mom sing, so I can join her. You just can't help but smile when you hear her sing.

Morgan turns 9

2008-12-23T15:30:00.000-08:00

Well my Morgan is 9. I cannot believe how time just keeps passing me by. I am so blessed to have Morgan in my life. She is such a wonderful daughter. She is everything I wish I was. She is so so sweet and always thinks of everyone before herself. Even on her birthday she wants her sisters and brother to have a present to.I wish I had the talents she has and am in awe of her everyday. She makes everyday a joy and makes my purpose her on earth even better. I love you Morgan and am so proud of the beautiful young lady you are becoming.

Snow Day in Vegas

2008-12-18T09:18:00.001-08:00

In honor of celebrating no school because of snow, I thought it was a great reason to have snowman pancakes. The kids loved them. Mason wouldn't eat his because he didn't want to mess it up. Now I need to drive somewhere so my kids can play in the snow. It never stuck to the ground at our house. It was beautiful watching it come down. What a great way to bring in Christmas, WHITE! Go figure a snow day in Vegas.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

2008-12-12T16:04:00.000-08:00

I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas from our family to yours. Hope your holidays are merry and bright!

Morgan piano recital

2008-12-08T21:36:00.000-08:00

Tonight was Morgan's piano recital for Christmas. She stuggled more this recital with her music pieces. She forgot her music and I think her nerves got the better of her. When she was finished I gave her a big hug, and let her know how proud I was of her, and told her she was very courageous . Morgan just kept telling me she can play it really good at home.I felt so bad because I could see her disappointment in herself. Morgan is such a sweet girl and I wish I had just a little bit of her piano talent. Morgan makes my job as a mother a joy. Good job Morgan, I love you!

Much to be Thankful for

2008-12-01T21:02:00.001-08:00

Another thanksgiving gone and I have more and more to be grateful for. I am thankful for my loving husband and 4 of the sweetest children on earth. I am thankful to a loving Father in Heaven who sent me to earth to my family and entusted me with his children to care for on earth. I am thankful for the gospel and knowing that one day I can live again with my Heavenly Father and for the eternities to come with my family. I am thankful for a land where I have my freedom and for all those who fight for me and my country. I am thankful for all the earthy comforts I enjoy, a home, car, ect.. I am thankful for wonderful friends. There are so many things I am thankful for I could never write them all down and this post would go on forever.

I was to busy, I didn't get much pictures during turkey day. I did manage to get this picture when we were home relaxing after alot of food, this just brings a smile to my face, Loryn's little crack showing while she is playing piano.

Turkey cookies

2008-11-24T20:48:00.000-08:00

So tonight for our FHE activity we made thankful turkey hand cookies. The kids had fun tracing their own hands and making cookies out of them. It was a huge mess but the kids had so much fun.Loryn's hand never made it to get a picture, she would frost a little, then take a bite. I love how simple things bring kids so much enjoyment. It was fun to hear what they were thankful for. I am extremely thankful for my biggest blessing, my children!

Morgans surgery day

2008-11-19T16:41:00.001-08:00

Morgan had her tonsils and adnoids removed Tuesday. She is such a little trooper. She was so nervous but also excited not to have to deal with getting strep throat all the time. After the surgery she was pretty out of it, until dad arrived and she gave him a big smile. She sure loves her daddy. The only thing good about this for is she gets to eat slurpees and ice cream when she wants it. She is such a sweet girl, she was apologizing to me because I had to do so much for her. She kept saying thank you and i love you to me in sign language. I really enjoy giving her that extra love and care. Hopefully soon the pain will be less,she has been crying some today. I just keep telling her this will all be over soon. The Savior said it best when he said,"it may not be easy, but it will be worth it".

Bye bye paci

2008-11-17T16:15:00.000-08:00

Well today is the last day for Loryn and her paci. I cut the top off and so the fun begins. It worked with all the other kids, let see how it works for her.AS you can see she wasn't very happy about it. What a bad day for her first shots and then this.Can life get any worse for her? Look she even wanted to throw it away now that she said it was broke. SHe called G-ma and told her all about it. She will probably cry tonight at the garbage can for it when it is bedtime. Cross your fingers for me!

Polar Express

2008-11-16T17:04:00.000-08:00

This weekend was full of suprises and magic. We told the kids we were going camping, but we really were taking them on the Polar Express train ride. The look on all of their faces was priceless. I love the magic of Christmas and the joy that feels the air. It was a family memory I will never forget. I am so glad my parents and my sister and her family came too. They played the songs from the movie, and while reading the Polar express story we drank hot cocoa and ate cookies. The destination was the North Pole(which they could have made much cuter in my opion) but the kids still loved it. They were most excited when Santa came on the train to give them their bells. We had a really great time, and it just makes me get more excited about Christmas.

Happy 2nd Birthday Loryn

2008-11-16T16:14:00.000-08:00

I can not beleive my baby is already 2! She has been such a fun part of our family. I just love to cuddle her and her sweet little spirit. Loryn loves to pray and is so pleased with herself when she is finished. Loryn also loves to sing and talk to her babies. She definantely brings a lot of spunk to our family. We celebrated with some of her friends during the day, and then had a family party that night. She was so excited about her baby from her friend Chloe and her Yo Gaba Gaba toys from G-ma. Thank you to all who came and made her day so special. Loryn we love you baby girl!!

Work hard, Play hard

2008-11-08T15:37:00.000-08:00

Today Mason was put on the wall for his first lesson from Papa at plastering. Nothing like a little hard work. I think it is important to teach our kids now the true value of a hard worker. It is never to early to start. He was so excited to have his own small working tools. What is better then mud for a boy. I forsee summers when he is older helping papa at work. A little play is fun to. We went to the Adventure Dome to have some fun family time. It is no Disneyland, but it is still fun for the kiddies. I am going to have to wait for Lacie to get bigger, so I can ride with somewone on the big rollercoasters. Morgan is not to fond of them. Lacie is just like me. Major thrill seeker. Hurry and grow Lacie! A little hard work brings out some fun for us.

Trick or Treat

2008-11-01T12:50:00.000-07:00

Wow, I can't beleive another Halloween is over. We have been having lots of fun being with family and friends. We went to Springs preserve for Aunt Jamie's birthday to play and get some CANDY, we went to a Halloween party, played with friends and got more CANDY, off to the ward trunk or treat for more CANDY,and went to grandma's and grandpa's on Halloween night for chili and fun, and more CANDY! We are now on a major sugar high. The kids had alot of fun. The holidays come and go so quick. I feel like I just got thier costumes and now it is over. This starts my favorite time of year with my kids. I love seeing thier happy faces and the joy in their eyes. Thank you

Make a Smilebox slideshow

to all who helped make Halloween filled with memories. We love you all!

2008-10-07T14:29:00.000-07:00

Mason is really excited every week for school. How could you not be happy to go to Mrs. Tate's. He got his first homework packet, he could hardly wait to get started. Hopefully that will carry on throughout the years. He was most excited about the daddy skeleton he made today. He made a very anatomically correct boy skeleton. I love kids and their attention to details. Man I am going to be sad when Mason goes away to school all day. He is my best buddy, I hate that he is growing up so fast.

Lacie's 7th Birthday

2008-09-29T12:48:00.000-07:00

Make a Smilebox slideshow

I can not believe our little tink is already 7. I love seeing her grow up, but am so sad it happens before I can even blink. Lacie is such a joy to have in our family. She is spunky but so sweet. We love you Lacie!

Toothfairy note

2008-09-17T22:21:00.001-07:00

So Lacie wrote a cute letter to the tooth fairy of her requests when she took her tooth. She made sure the tooth was extra clean, brushing it so the toothfairy would do the things she asked. The tooth fairy was pretty nice, leaving her hand prints. Boy does Cynthia the tooth fairy write small. I remember getting my own letter from Cynthia when I was young. I love moments like these, and for being a mom!!

NUMB!!!

2008-09-02T18:45:00.000-07:00

So today Lacie had to go get a cavity filled. She was a trooper not even crying with the shots in her mouth. She was so funny about how her mouth felt after she was done. She asked if she would be able to eat next week. I told her it would only be a few hours of numbness. This is the smile when she found out she didn't have to starve. She is my bottomless pit when it comes to food. I wish I had her metabolism.

Can you spank grandpa's?

2008-09-02T18:38:00.000-07:00

Well this is what Morgan came home with after her weekend away with her grandparents. Three hermit crabs!! I must say Morgan was so excited to have a pet, so she had to make sure their was one for everyone. Bless her heart. I am not a huge pet person, so my kids are pretty deprived in that area. I have to say I get a little grossed out by our new crawling family members. Papa is going to have to come and clean the tank out, since it was his bright idea. I love my parents and am so glad they will do ANYTHING to please their babies.

Mason's first day of preschool

2008-09-02T12:13:00.000-07:00

Mason was so excited to start at Mrs. Tate's again this year. He really enjoys going to school and being with his friends. He likes that their are other boys in the class. He was so funny about wanting to wear his new dinosaur shirt. He has been saving this shirt for today.

Back to school

2008-08-26T15:51:00.001-07:00

Well we are back to school for the new year. THe girls are really excited to start a new grade, even though it has only been 2 weeks since they were in school. They really enjoy their new teachers. I love to see how much they have grown year to year. One thing I always love is Marc giving them a fathers blessing at the beginning of the school year. That is something I hope my kids will always treasure, because I never had that growing up. I am so grateful my kids will grow up with the priesthood in their home, and for a wonderful man who honors his priesthood.

Beauty day

2008-08-21T19:37:00.001-07:00

So one day Mason is going to make a great husband. He loves to rub lotion on the our feet and leggs. He thinks it is alot of fun in the pedicure chair. Everybody in the shop was laughing at how he kept wanting to make everyone take turns. He is such a sweet boy. Also Lacie told her Aunt Jamie she wanted to have mommies hair, so she could be a pretty mommy to. I thought it was so cute. That totally made my day. She is my liitle mini me!!

2008-08-21T19:32:00.000-07:00

I love how Loryn is learning by example. She gets so excited with herself when she folds her arms. Now we just have to keep from talking, or maybe she is just trying to say the prayer also. I was put in my place after the kids seen me taking the picture during our prayer. That I wasn't being reverent and closing my eyes.

Broken

2008-08-08T21:57:00.000-07:00

Well our first broken bone. Morgan is in a cast for the next 6 weeks, which really is going to be a pain. The bathing alone stinks. Monday when we put her to bed she decided she wasn't tired and stacked some boxes on top of eachother to reach the light, and started to climb them. She fell off landing on her wrist. Maybe now when it is bed time she will actually go to sleep, ha ha. We are supposed to be at the beach in California, but I am not sure now. How do you keep a 8 year old out of the water and sand out of the cast. This is going to be a very long 6 weeks!

Memories

Memories...
This tag is pretty unique, so I thought I would give it a shot.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Our St. George trip for HSM

2008-07-11T17:58:00.000-07:00

We had a fun time on our annual trip to St. George to watch a play, which the girls were excited it was High School Musical. We got there early to shop and hang out. One of the best patrs of the day was going to the Temple, where we walked aroung the grounds, and watched a wonderful new movie, The Pioneer Miracle. I am always so inspired with how the temple makes me feel and am so glad that my girls feel the spirit when they are there also. We were a little disappointed to find out that the play was in where the highschool kids do it. They did a good job.The girls really liked it.I guess it saved us from sitting in the heat outside. Sadly we were missing one of the girls, my mom, who was home sick. We missed you mom and there is always next year.Thanks Aunt Jamie for a fun day!

Well this year we were supposed to be camping in Utah, but we had car problems, which kept us in the heat. No matter we are, we always have a blast with our family. We had yummy food and great fun. Always, the fireworks were a great ending. Thanks to both our families for hanging with us.

11 years of bliss

2008-06-30T14:49:00.000-07:00

This weekend Marc and I celebrated our 11 year anniversay. I can't believe it has been that long. I guess time flies by when you are having fun. We went to dinner and then he took me to the Belagio to walk aroung their flower diplay, but really he went to take me to get my gift. He took me to Tiffany's to by me a ring, but they did not have my size. Marc was a little upset about it. The practical side of me came out and told him I could really use some new tennis shoes and some clothes instead. Marc didn't want me to be practical though. We had a really good night together. We even went to my favorite ice cream place, yum! I just want to tell Marc how much I love him and am so grateful he is mine for eternity. He is so good to me and our kids. He truely is my gift from God. Thanks for 11 sweet years!!

Shhh

2008-06-27T16:19:00.000-07:00

So this is what I came down to this afternoon while upstairs. Not 1, not 2, but 3 sleeping kids. My house is so quiet. Morgan is the only one who is not asleep. She told me she is way to old for naps. I thought I would give it a try though. There is nothing better then a sleeping kid. I guess kids can sleep anywhere, seeing how Loryn is sleeping. Yes , I realize that wasn't very safe either. Maybe I shouldn't be doing laundry, ha ha.

I lost some weight!!!

2008-06-27T16:09:00.000-07:00

So yesterday I thought I would change it up for Marc for our 11 year anniversary. Boy did I surprise him. I lost 9 inches. To bad real wieght loss wasn't as fast as this was. I am still sad about the loss of all my hair, but hey it is alot cooler. Sometimes you just need a change and I guess I was at that time. I am not quite sure Marc was though. I guess life is full of surprises.

2008-06-18T10:56:00.000-07:00

So today Mason and Loryn decided to cure their boredom. Mason decided he would paint his toenails pretty so he could show is big sisters his great work. Instead he was so embarrassed because the girls told him only girls paint their toenails. He told me he wanted it off because he wanted to play with boy toys and not be a gitl any more. I think it is so funny how he wants to fit in with all his sisters. So I decided to take them swimming at my parents to run off some energy, except I didn't want to swim, so Loryn had to swim in the bucket. She was just fine as long as their was water. I love how easy it is to still please her.

Mason grad day

2008-06-02T20:01:00.000-07:00

Today was Mason's preschool graduation. Mrs. Tate did such an awesome job with these kids.Mason has learned so much this year, and went on some really fun field trips. I am glad we get to do it again with her next year. Mason did such a good job singing the songs. Last time all he would do is sit there. He has come out of his shell alot. He actually enjoyed it this time. These kids did such a great job today. Way to go grads.I love you son!

Special me

2008-06-02T19:43:00.000-07:00

Mason is so cute singing this song.I love his raspy voice. He was kind of upset the song skipped out in the middle,hence the sad face.

Missing something?

2008-05-31T13:01:00.000-07:00

Well Lacie has finally lost a tooth. She has wanted to lose won ever since Morgan lost her first one. Today she kept asking me when her tooth would fall out, and all of you who know Lacie, you know how many times that was. Finally I told her to bring me a tissue and I would wiggle it and see. Instead I pulled it out. She wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry. Lacie was so excited to put her tooth in her tooth fairy doll. Of course she loses it right before family pictures!

My mom went to the hospital the other day because her left arem was hurting really bad and was going numb,so they thought they would go and check it out.Luckily everything checked out ok,except for some disc's in her back which caused the pain.The funny thing is when we went to visit her Mason asked her where her baby was.He has only been to the hospital when I have had a baby. He was then shocked to discover G-ma had been playing the wii there.He thought the heart monitor was a wii remote. I love the things that kids come up with. I am just so thankful my mom is alright, I could not imagine one day without her.She is truely my angel on earth.

A Day of Fun

Today all of the kids had a friend over to play,and boy did they play.My house was pretty busy. They all had so much fun.Morgan and her friend did karaoke and played alot in the playhouse.Lacie and her friend were busy coloring pictures for eachother.I don't think Lacie stopped talking the whole time,she was so excited to have her friend over.One day she will be a great missionary,because she is a talker.Mason was so fun watching play hoops with his buddy,they were all about full contact.Their laughs were so cute.To calm things down abit they all decided to watch,Enchanted.Even the boys enjoyed it.It was nice having a friend for each of them over,I never heard any bickering from my kids.Maybe I should just adpot a live in friend for each of them.

We had a very fun and eventful Easter.The kids had so much fun finding their easter baskets and going on easter egg hunts with all their cousins. They can never get enough time with their cousins. Loryn really enjoyed finding treats in her eggs, she wanted to stop with everyone and eat something. Let me say, the kids will be on a sugar high for a week.Easter was always a fun memory as a kid for me,and I know my kids are making memories they to will never forget.Happy Easter everyone!Thanks to all of our families who help make Easter a fun day!

Happy Birthday Granny Great

Today the kids wanted to celebrate their granny greats birthday,so in her honor we went and had her favorite dessert. Morgan was very concerned that she would be eating it to in heaven,so I told her I am sure in Heaven, you get all the yummy stuff to. We then sang Happy Birthday and let balloons go, for her to catch. They were very excited to have a party for her.It still is sad to see how they miss her so much, and cry when they think of her.I always remind them that we are a forever family and one day we will be with her again.What a great memory today was for them.

I love Valentines Day, even though all year long we get to tell those we love, we love them, all day long we celebrate those we love on this special day. I love my my sweet family. There is nothing I would rather have in this world, then their love. I love being a wife and a mom. We had fun sitting as a family eating our heart shaped pizza and heart donuts in candle light. The kids were so excited to eat in the dark. We then went camping with papa and g-ma, were we celebrated heart day with them. They had a fun game were the kids had to pop 48 balloons, which I blew up to find their prizes. They had so much fun!My dad always does something special for his girls were we played a game and won some awesome prizes ourselves. What a fun weekend we had.I love you Dad!
