JULY 4th

We had a fun forth we went to the Honeyville rodeo on thur. night. Brance rode a sheep. He did a great job. In the pic you can see his arm around the neck. He also did the chicken chase, no he did not catch that chicken some one gave it to him. I really didn't want it but the kids loved it. It has already ran away, so sad :) We do the same thing every year, we go to the honeyville parade and celebration. We go to the bingham's or there friends house and have a bar-b-Que and then the Brigham fireworks. Morgan wasn't sure about the fireworks, we sat right by them so it felt like they were going to fall on us. Jace cried at first and cuddle with me that was fun to see how they would react! We love it and look forward to it every year. Sorry this is like two weeks late!

Family Fun!

So my kids have been begging to go on a horse ride all summer. Dusty is so busy, this was his first chance to take them out.
Jace loves his dad and is not afraid of the horses at all!
Brance just got a new saddle from Dusty's good friend Todd. He loves it so much. He's my little buckaroo!
Yes this is Brance!! He got bite by a wasp on his eyelid. I feel so bad for him. He keeps telling me there are crumbs in his eyes, it's really his eyelashes. It happened wed. and it is still really swollen. Sorry, cubby monster man!

Swimming Lesson's!

My kids had so much fun going to swim lessons the past 2 weeks. They are still pretty nervous around water. They still won't put there heads under the water. May be we should go swimming more than once a year! We don't get out much, but you all knew that! We also got a new puppy. My kids are in love, Morgan thinks that it is her baby and packs it all around. Brance tells us he loves his new buddy. We also got a new car but that is a long story and I don't have a pic to share so I'll post that later! Hope everyone is having a great summer. Sorry I haven't been blogging much, I feel so busy but I look back and think what have I been doing...not much!

Birthday Fun!

We had both side's of the family come over for cupcake's and ice cream on Jace's b-day!

Jace was so much fun. He didn't really like opening presents. But every time I said "say cheese" he would smile BIG and look right at me! SO CUTE!!!
Elmo cake and cupcakes that I made for him.
For my kids first b-days I make them there very own cake to eat. My other kids were a little lost and didn't know what to do. Jace was so excited he was grabbing and screaming for the cake he didn't even want to be sang to. I took his clothes off and put him in the highchair and he was freezing. He was shaking and had goosebumps.
I ran and got him some clothes that could get dirty. That didn't help so we moved the party in the house. Once he was warm he dug in. He just ate and ate. He is so sweet.

I stuck him in the sink to wash off. So cute!
He got a ball popper.
and a tickle me Elmo! He is so cute he laughs with Elmo it's fun!
I love my little guy so much I can't believe he is one year old already!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jace!!!

I can not believe my baby is 1 today! What a fast and wonderful year. I was thinking about the day he was born, he was defiantly my easiest birth. He was born at Ogden Regional Hospital, I was started around noon (I think). I got an epidural (Thank You) I think I pushed 2 times when he was finally ready to come at 7:05 pm. He was 7lbs 7oz. We didn't know what we were having, we both thought that it was a boy, the Dr. pulled him out and said "it's a little man." He was beautiful. We had a really hard time naming him. We finally decided on a name about an hour before I left the hospital. Morgan and Brance were so excited for there new brother.

He is a sweet heart. He is my cuddle bug. He is content to sitting by me and watching the other kids. He has always been very fond of his mommy which was his first word. He says Hi, bye, dad, woof, boo. He can almost walk. I don't mind that he can't, I like to keep him close. (not enough hands) He loves to go up and down the stairs and follow the big kids. I hope he is happy being a part of our family, we sure do love him. I don't even remember life with out him!!!

This was at the hospital when he was a day old

I love this pic of my boys!

He must have been really excited for his birthday, I took this pic last night around midnight when he finally crashed! His eyes look open but he was snoring!

Happy Birthday DUSTY!!!

Well I wanted to take the opportunity to brag about Dusty since it is his special day. I'm sure most of you know that I love my B-day...Dusty just thinks it is another day. He probably won't like that I did this. Ever since I started blogging he won't let me take his picture. Silly Dusty, not ever picture goes on the blog. He is a great guy and I am so proud of him. He got 3 A's in chemistry, Anatomy some poem class that he hated and 1 A- in accounting, (which was my fault I didn't let him study for the final.) He is super smart. He is getting an awesome scholarship and 2 grants, I never knew it paid to be smart. He is a great example to me and the kids. He is the best dad. He is always busy or tired, but he makes time for the kids. He takes them to work with him and is always making them feel special! I love him so much and hope he has a wonderful Birthday!!! 29 on the 29th!!!

Schools Out!

Brance finished his 1st year of Preschool this week. I only had him going one day a week because he still has one more year of preschool before he starts kindergarton. Even with one day a week he leaned so much. I know he is my kid and we all think the world of our own kids (which would should) but I think he is super smart and I love him tons. He is a great example to his little brother and sister.

Brance really likes his teacher Mrs. Munns. she does a great job.

This picture was after his progam last night. He did a great job singing. We are so proud of him he is getting so big and smart.
