My baby's turning 1..

I can't believe that almost a year ago this precious little girl came to our family. It seems like just yesterday we were at the hospital getting ready to bring her home and now she is turning one. K'Brina took these darling pictures for me and made up the invitations for her party. They turned out so cute! We are so excited to celebrate her first birthday tommorrow.

Lake Powell

I'm trying to get caught up on posting all my pics from what we've been doing this summer. We have spent many weekends in Lake Powell. The kids had a blast and I seriously think they would live down there if we would let them:) They spent most of their time in the water, making sandcastles and riding the tube. The boys even tried water skiing and loved it!

Fourth of July

We have had a crazy, busy, fun summer and I haven't even posted anything about it! I just need to take the time and blog. This was some pics from our Fourth of July. We spent the whole weekend just hanging out with our family and friends and had a wonderful time!!

Just a few random pics of my kiddies...

I've made it my new goal to take pictures of my sweet children every day. I love just

being home with them and being a mom. They grow up so fast...and I don't want to

miss any of it!!

Wow...has it seriously been that long since I've blogged? I don't even know where the time goes. I really do take lots of pictures, I just don't take the time to get them on my computer. Here is an update of our lives from the last couple of months....

Mia is getting so big now. She is almost eight months old. She sits up all by herself. She tries to crawl but has figured out she can roll a lot faster. Everything goes in her mouth now. (and yes, she still likes her thumb) She is also getting her first tooth. She loves to be outside and around her big brothers. The boys enjoy playing with her and making her laugh. They love to help me bath her and feed her cereal...YUM YUM.

Braxton has been working hard in scouts and has earned his Bear. He is now a Webelo. He has done very well in scouts and enjoys it a lot. We are so proud of him and all his hard work.

Slade just finished up his first year of wrestling. He did quite well with taking a first place and two second place medals. He has just started soccer and is doing great. He is a speedy little guy on the soccer field.

This was back on Valentines Day. The boys and I decided to make some chocolate covered strawberries, and they were delicious!!

We celebrated Braxton's 10th Birthday in March. He is getting so big now. I can't believe it has already been ten years since we had him. They don't stay little long enough. He is such a sweet boy and is always willing to help out. Happy Birthday Brax!!

A New Year....

We were so busy the month of December that I didn't get to post much so here is an overload of pics. Mia is getting so big. She is almost 5 months now. She loves her Bumbo chair that she got for Christmas. She laughs and giggles when we put her in it. She is our little thumb sucker too. She loves her thumb. I should probably break her of the habit now but it's just too cute!

These are some pics of the boys first skiing trip. They had a blast and they did very well for their first time.

Joby and the boys got a chance to go flying. Joby has been a few times and the boys really wanted to go. They finally got to go and each got a turn sitting in the front and steering. Mia and I got to watch them....and yes, I was nervous the whole time.

Pics of Mia

More pics of Mia....I know, I take lots, but you can never have too many right? I had KBrina take these for me and she did an awesome job, even though Mia kept trying to stick her thumb in her mouth the whole time.
