Back on the farm....

We are so glad to be living back by our families! This is really exciting for ALL of us. Especially my two kids! They love their cousins and both sets of Grandparents! We also love living close to the farm again. My kids love going there to visit and of course, ride the 4-wheelers! Our cousin Cutter was happy to share his new ride!!

Preschool Graduation

Katelyn had such a great year at Kinder Ready Preschool. She looked forward to going each week. Some highlight include:Fieldtrips to: Nature park, 3 trips BYU-I, and the Gardens
Bringing home the class dog for the weekend
Taking her favorite toy for show and tell
and having the privlege of being the line leader and music helper!
She LOVED Miss Kari and the other teachers!
We are sad it is over, but look forward to preschool this next year.
Katelyn graduated from Preschool on May 26th 2011!

Mother's Day

I really do have the best Mom in the world!
She is such a good example to her kids and grandkids
I am thankful for all that she has done for me and continues to do for me!
I don't know what I would do with out her.
Love you Mom!

I am so honored to be a Mother
I have the best kids in the world, they are so sweet, lovable, funny and just darn cute!
How did I get so lucky?

Really?!?!?! How did I get so lucky.....

Katelyn's 1st Hair Cut

Just lately Katelyn's hair become a nightmare to comb through everyday
To be honest, there were days I avoided combing her hair, she usually looked like an orphan girl most days
Last weekend my Parents came to visit, it was then that I decided to take
her to get her hair cut.
It turned out so cute! It is so much easier to handle, we are both happy.
I was nervous to cut her hair, I didn't want all her curls to go with it
After getting it cut we have discovered she still has her same beautiful curly hair, I was so glad!

Easter

I LOVE Easter!
I LOVE that it usually brings spring weather along with it. (apparently not in Rexburg though)
I LOVE the we celebrate the life of our Savior
I LOVE my beautiful kids and amazing husband
We are all so blessed
Here are Katelyn and Briggs all ready for church Easter Morning
Grandma Ellen bought these CUTE Easter clothes for the kids

Easter morning Katelyn and Briggs were both excited to see their Easter baskets.
I think there turned out cute! They were a big hit!

We had an Easter Egg hunt in our backyard on Saturday.
There was not much space, but the kids loved it!
Katelyn was concerned about what was in each egg and Briggs was concerned about how many eggs he got. In the end Briggs' basket was full and Katelyn was begging her little brother to share. Lucky for her he did. It was fun to watch them enjoy a mini egg hunt!

Some of my little guy...

Just like Katelyn,Briggs adores Sherm!
He loves to play with his dad on the floor. They wrestle and play football everyday!
Briggs also has a thing for helmets. Good thing we got him his own BSU one!
He use to try to wear Sherm's and it would just about knock him over!

Why oh why can't we all have a set of legs just like this little guy??
I know I wouldn't mind at ALL!
Briggs loves to run around wearing not much at all!
Especially while wearing his camo cowboy boots!
I think he looks pretty cute, dirty face and all!

someone thinks they are HOT stuff....

Katelyn's G-ma Liz bought this cute "basketball" outfit for her birthday.
Katelyn LOVED it to say the least.
She tires to wear it everyday and even on the days she does get to wear it she wears
it to bed too! As if she can'tget enough of this outfit!
And not to mention she thinks she looks pretty COOL in it too!

Katelyn's 4th Birthday Party

My baby girl turns 4!!
She is such a sweet little girl, so loving, so sassy and so much more!
We love her more than words can say!
Since we moved to Rexburg this last year we decided that it would be fun to have "friends"
birthday party for Katelyn, since we don't have much family around.
Although she did get a surprise visit from her Aunt Beth!!
So we invited the neighbor kids, headed to the dollar store and had a ball!
Katelyn had to get all dressed up for her PART-A! As she would call it!
Half way through the party she even made time for a change of wardrobe!
Although it was only ONE hour long we managed to squeeze in pin the tiara on the Princess,
stuff our faces with cup cakes literally and open presents.
I don't think Katelyn stopped smiling the whole time.
You can be assured that I did, as the little boy next door marches across the house
shoving cup cake down his throat, he ate THREE and took one home for later!
I am sure his MOM was thrilled...it was right before dinner after all!
All in all we had a great time! We LOVE you Katelyn!
