Rock on! Ha Ha Ha!!

I just laugh everytime I watch this, Derek turned on the music for the kids to dance too and Jace joined right in! Not sure where he learned to headbang so well. If you look closely he is even shaking his head while he crawls. Lol! Just ignore the screaming kids in the background, apparently music makes them want to wrestle and kick babies in the head instead of dance!

Busted!

Jace was playing in the living room while I was folding laundry, I left to put a stack of clothes away and when I came back he was gone. So I went looking for him and this is what I found.



With the help of his big sister, sneaking it out of the pantry and hiding it for herself, he found a delicious treat.

He is so proud of himself!

Silly

Kaden fell asleep on our way home tonight but it was only 5:00, so I was trying to make him walk so he would wake up. When I set him down he leaned up against the car and I'm not really sure if he was awake or asleep.

A closer look



We told the kids to go get their pjs on and chloe came out like this



Yes that is Dereks church shirt. She said that she can't find her pajama shirt, so this is her solution, so comfy. Gotta love em.

My big Bro!

Happy Birthday to my big brother Mike! I love you so much and miss you tons!
I am so proud of him and what he does. He is an amazing Father and Husband and he has the cutest family. I hate that they live so far away but I am glad that he is doing what he wants to do and serving so many people. He is so talented and builds really beautiful things. He is so funny and fun to be around. Love you Bro, Happy Birthday!

First swim of the summer!!!

It was so stinkin hot today and the kids had a blast playing outside at our friends house. So much fun that it took me bribing them that we would get our pool out at home if they would come in and get their shoes on. So even though it was cooling off fast, I kept my word and got our pool out. I tried adding hot water to make it warmer but that took far too long. They still had a blast though, even Jace was enjoying himself. When the lips got purple it was time to go in. Kaden was shivering and his teeth were chattering but I still had to force him inside, he said he wasn't ready yet. It was a really fun day!







Millcreek Canyon

On memorial day we went with Derek's family up to Millcreek Canyon to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. We found a great spot right next to the river, although I was a little nervous the whole time worrying that the kids would fall in, they had a blast. They loved putting their sticks in the water and throwing rocks. We had a little unwelcome visitor that we had to run away from, but he finally left. It was a little skunk. The food was delicious and we had a great time together.

Gracie Loo!


Yesterday was my little nieces birthday. She is so adorable and we love having her in our family. My brother Blake and his wife Amanda were blessed to adopt her a year ago and I just can't believe how fast she grew. She is so fun to squeeze and is so adorable when she talks. We had so much fun at her party yesterday. Happy Birthday Gracie!!
