Happy Anniversary

Eight years ago Mike and I, along with many loved ones, traveled to Manti. There we were sealed together. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband, and for all he does and sacrifices for me and our family. I want him to know that I love him so much.
I wanted to put one of our wedding pictures up, however our computer is not working, so I was not able to scan one in. We had these family pictures taken last week. I thought it was fitting to celebrate our anniversary by sharing photos of our precious gifts we have received.

Our new adventure

I decided that it was time to put Bugs in swim lessons. She is 5, and has only taken a mom and me class. I knew that Peanut would have a hard time not going so I asked if she could go also. I know she in only 2 1/2, but they said yes. Those of you that know Bugs, know she has some anxiety issues, so I thought having her adventurous sister in her class might help. Peanut took to the water right away. She is a little fish. Bugs on the other hand was very nervous. After only a few minutes she was out of the water and crying on my lap. It took me fifteen minutes to convince her that she only had to try. The only thing that got her in the water was that I wanted to take a picture, but I would only take it if she was in the water with her teacher. Now she loves it and can't wait to go back. Hopefully she remembers how much fun it is.

So tired

During the last week I have looked over to see one or the other of my children sleeping in odd positions. They are just sooo tired they have crashed. Little man has falled asleep in his saucer on mutiple occasion (and yes he is holding a wicked witch doll, his sisters are good at sharing).

Growing to fast

I was in the kitchen making dinner, and came into the living room to find little man standing by the horse. He is pulling himself up on everything, and he is so proud of himself. I can't believe that he just started crawling and he already wants to walk.

Memorial Day

We went to our neighbors house and had a BBQ. The kids had so much fun playing together. I am so grateful to have such great friends to share a fun day with.




Here the kids are playing on the swing set.



My cute boys!

What a cheezy grin, and a dirty face.

Look at the cute princesses.

What an angel

Look how cute this little man is. I thought this picture was way too cute. His sisters made him look away from the camera right as I took the picture. I was a little annoyed until I saw the shot. I think it worked well, even if it wasn't planned.

My little monkey

She did it! Bugs finally make it across the monkey bars by herself last week. She was so exited. I love to see her accomplish new things. She was really nervous. When she fell, I thought for sure she would cry. However she just got up and tried again.
