Gardner village!!!

This year we had the fun opportunity to go to Gardner Village with our friends the Smiths and Ruth. The kids had a blast. They did the Witch scavenger hunt and loved it. There favorite witch was the potion witch. Ruth (Whom the kids love) bought them each a spider that grows in water. They loved them and were excited to watch them grow. She then bought them all cookies at the end. She is so great and we are glad that we got to go with her and the Smiths and glad that we all had such a great time!!!

Soccer!!!

Parker had the opportunity to play soccer this year. He absolutely loved it. He was so into it. The first game he scored 9 goals and was in Heaven. He continued to play like that rest of his games. Everyone would ask us if we made him practice at home. We would have to tell them no that he just loves it and I guess is a natural!!! He was so cute and I was one proud Mom. I think this could be his sport but we will have to see. He still insists he wants to play football. I on the other hand am not so sure about that. I guess we will see when that time comes!!! I love my little soccer player!!!

Parker starts pre-school

Well a few weeks ago Parker had his first day of pre-school!!! He was so excited!! He is in the blue room this year and couldn't be happier. This kid loves school and he asks me everyday if he has school. He goes to pre-school with his best buddy Carson!! They are so funny together and get so excited to go!!! Here are a few pictures of him on his first day!!

Sorry we have been missing!!!

Sorry we have been missing, but I have been very sick for the last 6-7 weeks and haven't felt like doing anything. The Reason being is that Bryan and I are expecting our 3rd baby!!! We are so excited, but it has been a hard one for me. I am hoping and praying that in the next few weeks I will start to feel better and get on the ball. You should see my house after 7 weeks of wanting to do nothing but lay in bed. So I am hoping I will feel better soon. I have a lot to blog about, Parker starting pre-school, our family reunion and pictures etc... So be looking for that when I get the energy!!!

Bear Lake!!!

Bryan and I and the kids just took a fun trip to Bear Lake. We went with my family. We had a blast. We got to stay for a week this time and we loved it. We loved hanging out at the beach. Like I tell everyone this is a real vacation. We actually just sit and relax and it is so nice. The kids loved playing in the sand. Parker liked to play in the Lake, but Maelie wasn't to interested in that. We also rented Jet skis and the kids loved, loved, loved those. They both didn't want to get off. I didn't know if Maelie would like it, but she kept telling me no go back stay here. It was so funny. They were so good and we had a good time. We also swam in the pool at the condo, played mini golf, Bryan and I played real golf a few times, went to the cave, went to a play and played games!!!! I love being with my family. It was an awesome vacation and I think I could live there during the summer!!!! Here are a few pictures. I forgot to take my camera to the beach a few times so my sister and mom have more, when I get those I will add them to this post. Hope you all enjoy!!!

Happy Fathers Day!!!

Happy Fathers day to a the BEST dad in the whole wide world. Thank you for all you do for use. WE love you very much!!!!

Pre school art show!!!

The pre-school that Parker attends does an art show for the kids and the parents at the end of the year. They collect the art that the kids have done through out the year and have a singing program and show a DVD of the fun activities and field trips they have gone on. It was so cute and fun!!! Parker was so excited. Bryan took the day off of work and Grandpa Dan also came and you would have thought Parker struck gold. He was so excited and happy!!! He loved to sing and he wasn't shy at all to let everyone know he likes to sing. It was such a fun day for him and us!!! I am such a proud mama. His teachers were so great and he loved going to school!!! Enjoy some pictures of his art show!!

My baby is 2!!!

I am a little behind but last week Maelie turned 2 years old. I can't believe how fast is has gone!!! She is getting so big and so funny. She talks non stop and is a little sassy pants. We had a big family birthday party for her. We started off the night with a birthday dinner to Red Robin, we then had all the family over to our house for cake and ice cream. Once again aunt Squirt (Elisha) pulled off and awesome cake. Maelie wanted a barbie cake and Aunt squirt did a fantastic job (even if she did have to amputate barbies legs below the knee to fit it her in the cake). So thanks a bunch Squirt!!! She got spoiled rotten from everyone and she loved everything she got. She is such a girly girl, she was so excited when she pulled out clothes and shoes!!! It was a fun night!!! Here are some of her favorites at this time in her life.

favorite friend: Parker and Carson
Favorite food: Veggies or candy
Favorite Movie: Barbie movies or little mermaid of princess and the frog
Favorite Color: Pink
Favorite toy: Barbies and babies
Favorite book: Any just wants you to read to her
Favorite thing to do: Follow mommy around and do everything she does!!!

She is such a joy in our family and she for sure keeps us on our toes!! We love her very very much.Also I took her in for her 2 year old appt and boy was it an experience. She HATES the Dr. and nurses or anybody who wears scrubs!!! She wouldn't let them measure her so I had to hold her down, then they wouldn't let her weigh her so I had to hold her and get on the scale weigh both of us and then weigh just me, let me tell you it was awesome!!!! She freaked out when the Dr checked her over and don't even get me started when we had to give her shots!!! It was an experience for sure. But she is just a tiny little thing. She weighed 21 pounds so she is still in the 1% she is in the 50% in height and about the 35% for head. But boy she makes up for all of it in attitude!!!

Arbor Day Contest

Every Year Murray City Does and Arbor day art contest. All the kids in the Elementary and pre-school get to participate. They turned in their painted, drawn, colored pictures to the city and they choose one person from every grade from every school. Then the take about 10 from the 50+ students and see who would win at a City level. If they win at City level they plant a tree in the City with a plaque of the students name and year they won. Well Parker won the contest from his school and he won at a city level. He has a tree planted in his name at the nature center in Murray. It was a really neat thing and he was really excited. They had a big program for all the winner and presented them with awards and had a big lunch for them and the parents. We took him over to see his tree and he asked where the shovel was? I asked him why? He said "We need to dig it out so I can take it home." It was pretty funny. We explained that is had to stay there but we could come back and see it whenever we wanted to. Here are some pictures. It was a really really cold day so we don't have a ton.

Easter pictures I forgot I took!!!

Here are more pictures of Easter. Bryan and I dyed eggs with the kids. They loved it!!! We only dyed about 10 eggs but that was more than enough for us. The night before Easter The kids got to plant magic Jelly beans to see what would grow and be waiting for them in the morning. Little did we know it would snow that night, but to their delight the magic Jelly beans grew Easter Bunny heresy kisses!!! Parker thought that this was the coolest things ever. The Easter Bunny also left them a ton of prizes, Movies, ponies, capes, candy, cameras, abc fridge toys etc... I think They had a Great Easter!!!
