As you can see we got our pictures taken! It was not a fun time. My kids were horrible. I am glad they are done...we needed them really bad. Thanks Timari we love them. Sorry it was a bad first time. I hope we didn't scare you off.

Random stuff

Brance lost his 1st tooth!!!

He has been waiting for so long.

We have all had to remember to put the lid down on the potty!

You can't tell but he was very scared.

We have been doing lots of canning...corn, beans, jam, peaches...
Dallas loves corn on the cob!

Morgan learned to ride her bike without training wheels! She came to me one day and said "Mom can we take off the little wheels" she learned that night. She is a very determined little girl.

Jace was outside eating a Popsicle one day and this was how I found him. He has had a hard time with the big kids being gone to school.

1st day of school!!!

Jace goes to Preschool!!! He is so stinkin cute!!!

Brance is in 1st grade. He loves going to school all day.

Morgan is in kindergarten! She turned 5 only 3 days before school started.

Morgan's 5!!!

Morgan turned 5 about a month ago. She is so much fun. I love this big girl.
She is so much fun to buy for. Brance got her this purse. He picked it out all by himself.

Morgan is so lucky she gets to have her birthday during the fair!!!

The boys enjoyed her birthday too.

Dallas was happy with just sitting there with a balloon!

Dallas is 1 !!!

Can you believe my baby turned 1... CrAzY!!! Dallas is so much fun. He is one tough little guy. His big brothers and sister are a little to rough sometimes, or should I say they love him to rough.

Our tradition in our family is to have your very own cake on your 1st birthday. He was not afraid at all he dug right in.

As you can see he loved it. He had a really bad nights sleep that night. I think he was sick. I felt so bad. He is so dang cute!!!

Brance has been a real cowboy this past summer. He has gone up to Idaho where our cattle are with his dad all summer. He rides his own horse and is usally on it for 10 hours!!! He is getting so big and growing into a hard worker.

Morgan tries to do everything on her own. She had made herself a drink of chocolate milk and left the can of powder on the floor. As you can see Dallas found it. He was so proud of himself. He was so dang cute giggling and smiling. How could I get mad??? The can was almost full and this was all that spilled... thank goodness!!! He drools a lot and his foot were sticking out of his jammies. Yes... he was kind of homely that day!

July 4th weekend!!!

We started out the weekend at the Honeyville celebration.

There we lots of toys to play on. Of course Jace would not come down. So this time I sent Brance up after him.

Before the parade they play lots of music and my kids were having the best time messing around and dancing.

Jace, Morgan and friend Macie had fun on the ride.

Such a sweetie!!

Dally got tired of being in the sun!

Honeyville also had a fish pond where the kids get in and catch fish with there hands. I was not paying much attention and Grandma had taken them over and let them get in.

We did some fireworks!

Monday night we went to the fireworks in Brigham. Dusty and Brance had gone to Idaho to check on the cattle. They got a flat and didn't get home till 11:00 pm so me and the other kid loaded up and went in the the fireworks. We stayed in the car and had snacks.

We had so much fun hanging out in the back of the car. We put the seats down and made a bed. We all had on our jammies. The kids keep bugging me to let them do it again.

Dallas had fallen asleep on the drive in and woke up in the middle of the show. We weren't close enough for him to be scared of them. Morgan was glad we were far away they make her really nervous.

I have the best kids. We have so much fun together. We are all best friends!!!

ZOO!

I had to take Jace to Primary Children's to a follow up visit. We decided to go to the zoo so my whole family meet us there.

Cutest little guys you have ever seen!!!

Dallas is the best baby. He sat there the whole day and never even got mad.

We all loved watching the new baby elephant play in the mud! So cute.

Here they are watching the elephants. The mommy decided to go to the bathroom. Very interesting!!

That was scary... we almost lost our heads!!!

We had the best time hanging out with all the cousins. Me and Jace had to leave and go to the hospital and my family took good care of my kids for me. I felt bad we missed most of the animals so we went back in after everyone else left and walked around again. My kids were so good and patient. They all crashed as soon as we got in the car. We had tons of fun thanks everyone for going to the zoo with us.

more vacation pictures...

Okay... so I should have posted this before the Nebraska post. This is the second part of our vacation.

We stopped in Cheyenne, WY and stayed the night. They were having a "super day" at there park. It was all free!!!

It took me a long time to get Jace to come down. Then he wanted to do it again and I was being stupid and let him. I ended up having to go up after him. I could see why he didn't want to go down. It was a little scary. Made my belly get butterflies!

All the kids road on the bull. Morgan was not happy... they had to stop it and let me get her off. Brance loved it. Jace was scared to death he got on and right back off.

There were big boots all over the city. Each one was painted different. It was kind of cool.

My kids love hotel's. It's also one of there favorite things about vacation!

We don't go swimming much. They are scared to be alone in the water. They loved going swimming in the hotel's.

Nice farmers tan!

My sweet boys enjoying the pool!

We stopped at the first ever Cabela's in Sydney Nebraska on the way home.

We have never even been to the one here in Utah!

Well there it is. I hope I didn't bore you. We had a great time. It's always hard to want to come home... and back to normal life again. We had a great time. Love my family!!!
