Easter 08'

EASTER 08 IN MOAB WITH OUR FRIENDS!!!

Yes, Easter is here again! We went to Moab for the Jeep Safari! We stayed with Rachel & Rory and had a great time! We had an Easter egg hunt and the Easter bunny did find us in Moab! It was lots of fun, the kids are ready for the next get-together! Thanks Everyone!

We got the kids to stand still long enough for a picture before the big hunt. They had a blast! The little kids 7 and under had their hunt, then the kids 8 and older had their hunt that was a little bit of a challenge! They actually had to dig and search high and low! Thanks Easter Bunny!

Kamryn figured out what to do pretty quick. We scored great, I mean she scored great with a lot of candy....... She is so fun to watch!

Jacey had fun running around filling her basket! She found $1 in a golden egg! Wow! She got a kite, clothes, sandals, a mini-dolly thing (which she sleeps, eats and has with her everywhere), swimming goggles and loads of candy....... Thanks Easter bunny!

Taking 5 just before the hunt. Ryker is growing up so fast! Here is Katie from Grand Junction and Kelly taking a breather. Vacationing is so difficult!

This is Jacey's last holiday as a 3 year old! I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

Jaden found $3 in his eggs! Save up little buddy! He wants his own cell phone........ I don't know where he gets this? Some kids in his class already have their own cell phones, so he thinks he needs one too. Oh, not to mention mom and dad are on their cell phones quite a bit! We'll see what happens Jaden..... For Easter Jaden got a kite, sandals, clothes, goggles a helicopter toy thingy, and loads of candy. Sorry mr. dentist......

And the Grand Prize Winner! Konnley found an egg with $20 in it! I thought maybe $5 or $10 but $20! Thanks for the gas money home Konn! (Just kidding, he can put it in savings instead...how boring is that)! It took the older kids a long time to find the last 2 eggs. They were hidden pretty well under leaves and a lot of kids kept walking right over the last 2 golden eggs, but Konnley finally found one! He is still talking about his $20 bill....... I think he can start saving for college! He also got a kite, sandals, badly needed clothes (he is growing so fast all his winter pants are now floods) a game, and candy.

Kamryn enjoyed the treats and roaming around searching for eggs. She got cute little clogs, a kite, stylish sunglasses ( she is always wearing mine or Kelly's so now she finally has her own)

and she did great spending nights away from home Thank You!

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed spending time with your family & friends!

Just a suggestion, I think we should all gang up on the school district and get our Week off for Spring Break! Who's with me?!!!

I don't know about you guys, but we are having major cabin fever! I cannot wait to start playing outside (I really mean the kids....he-he) and going for walks and bike rides! The kids are always running around the house and the little tornado (that would be Kamryn) is always leaving a path of destruction behind her. Lately she has been amused by putting canned goods in the garbage can....and anything else she can find. Come to think of it, I haven't seen our kitchen phone for a loooong time now! I hope Spring weather will be here sooner than later!



They still like to be treated like babies! Kelly won't be able to carry them much longer, I know I can't! They got a kick out of it though! Also, a great way to get them to bed....

A few weeks ago we were having the urge to BBQ! After we are done eating, we usually push

the chairs in so a certain someone doesn't climb on the table. I caught Kamryn going after Jacey's unfinished hamburger. It turned out to be so funny so I grabbed the camera!

Here we are celebrating our 30-something birthdays together! Since we are only 2 weeks apart we usually celebrate our birthdays together. We went out to dinner and had an icecream cake for dessert! Yummy! Happy Birthday HUNNY! You are the best! (I don't know what is wrong with my pictures they look out of focus to me, any suggestions, pass them on)!

Okay, I don't have any recent pictures, so I thought I would show pictures

that most of you probably haven't seen. It seems like the more kids I have

the less pictures I take....how sad huh!? These pictures are from Kamryn's

baby blessing that was performed by my dad at out home in Kaysville just

after we moved in. It was really special having it in our new home with the family.

Uncle Timmy is having his turn.

I don't know what happened to this picture....my dad's face doesn't
normally look like that.

The proud grandparents!

What a cutie! She has just grown up too fast!

Okay, here are the proud parents, not to mention exhausted! We scrambled

to move everything in its place and organize the house. Hopefully this is our last

move for a loooooong time!

Talk about blast from the past! I wanted to show these pictures when I started

my blog. So, why not now. When Kamryn was about 5 weeks old we had our

photographer/friend come take some new born pictures! We did the same thing

with Jacey too. I just love baby pictures so I am showing them off! Don't be surprised

to see the other kids' pictures too....

So kissable!

What a cute daddy of 4! I feel so lucky to be so happy and

so blessed with a great husband and children! Not to mention

great friends that help and support us too! We love you all!

Wow, who knew we would have 4...sometimes I still can't believe it!

Oh, they just bring a smile to my face!!! Okay, I have a challenge

for all of you......I am trying to dig up pictures from the past..like

highschool past etc. even childhood pictures. I think it would be fun

to go back in the past.....so just wait and we shall see what we all come up

with!

Our family is complete! We are so glad to

have them here! Love you guys!!

For New Years this year, we had a sleep over with cousins, Kenzie & Brooklyn!

Their first sleepover..they did great! My sister Emily just had her 3rd baby, so

giving her a night off to just take care of the baby and rest up was a great gift! Don't worry

we didn't give any pepsi's to the kids.......but graham crackers and milk hit the spot!

We celebrated New Year's Eve (New York Time 10pm...works like a charm)!

We all ran around dancing and screaming! Kids are sooo funny!

It was nice to stay home for a change!

What a New Year's Eve Party!

What would Christmas be without a gingerbread train!

All the kids were so glad to tell Santa what they wanted, well
just about everyone......

Jacey was so terrified of Santa she wouldn't even look at him.
She would however stand next to him for a couple of seconds.
Long enough to get a picture.



Kamryn was fine looking at Santa, talking with Santa, but the second
she sat on his lap........



YEAH! Finally Christmas morning. The kids were soooo excited. I forced them
to eat breakfast before anyone could open presents. Pretty brutal huh? The suspense
made it that much more fun.

We took turns opening presents and soon the room
was filled with boxes, wrapping paper, presents
and happiness

We had fun playing games for most of the day!

Kelly was visited by Santa too! Oh, and good morning, sunshine!

Konnley was spoiled just a little bit, what can I say?

Jaden was spoiled too!

Jacey will have hours of entertainment, no complaints from anyone!

Kamryn has so many new toys she won't know what to do.

Yes, of course we had to get fancy Christmas pictures! The kids looked so cute I had

to get pictures!

Okay, lets get this overwith....

Here is the next president!

Somebody likes to pose.......

Kamryn wouldn't hold still long enough, oh well they still turned out adorable.
If I do say so myself!

What cute precious darlings!!!! I just love them. We hope you all

had a wonderful Christmas!

We spent a few days up at Bear Lake in mid-December. BRRRRRR!

It was a fun get away, not to mention absolutely gorgeous views!

We had fun with the Paxman's and Workman's and all the kids.

Konnley is always up for anything. What a cutie!

Jaden is ready to play in the snow. The sky and lake
are just as pretty as his blue eyes!

Jacey is a happy girl no matter where she is!

No, I am not cold, and yes I can barely walk

A nice sunny day in Bear Lake, at least we can eat the snow!

Okay, did you get the picture yet?

The kids picked names and excanged presents for an early

Christmas present, no complaints at all!

LEGO'S, LEGO'S, who knew!

Somebody's excited!

Jacey's turn to open her pet shop playground!

Wow, playing nicely so far! Santa should be impressed.

Jacey loves to help anyone open a present!

It is cookie making time!

We hope you all have a Happy Holiday Season!
