Mitchell

Mitchell cracks us up!

Tea Party!

This last weekend Tori, Mitchell and Mom went to Idaho Falls to have a girls weekend. Trav and the other two boys stayed home to do "man" things. While we were there we had a tea party with the girls. It was a blast. It was so much fun to just spend some time with Tori, I love that girl to pieces!

Here are all the sisters, my two sisters were super good sports seeing how they did not have daughters in the tea party. My mom seemed to have escaped any pictures, but she looked awesome and played a great hostess for the party!

Boys!

How I ended up with 3 boys and one daughter is beyond me, I wanted to capture a picture of just the boys but Tori had her feelings hurt and so she snuck in on the last picture. Love this bunch!

This is also a very popular scene at my house, everyone asleep but Mitchell and Mom.

Caden had decided that he can do more with Mitchell and so when I let him (I am still a little scared) he walks all over the house with him.

Joy School

This year I decided to join a group of women doing a Joy School. It has been so much fun, I just love having these cute kids at my house. Scott at first had a really hard time going from house to house but now he looks forward to it and loves it! We only have a couple of times left and he is going to be so sad. :(

There is one little boy missing, so we had 3 boys and 3 girls.

Mitchell

Mitchell was born January 18th. I was 37 weeks and since my previous two were born at 34 and 35 weeks I was thrilled I made it that far. He was 6 lbs 9 oz and 18.5 inches long. He is such a precious little boy and has made such a neat addition to our family. Since I have about zero time these days with four kids here is just a simple post with pictures :)

Halloween

Halloween is always really fun while it lasts, but I am super excited when it is over. Scott this year came up with his own costume. He was George the pirate pig! He loves the show on nick jr called Peppa Pig and he chose this costume from that. Silly Boy!


He is snorting like a pig!





Caden was a Hockey player.



Tori was a Ladybug. Her make up is a little crazy, we tried to do something a little different but she did not like it and THIS is how she wanted it.



Travis and I went to our annual Halloween party. This year I was a speed bump in the road and Travis was a construction worker. It worked out perfect cuz I am pregnant.




The Pictures are kind of dark. We had Caden take them and you know....



This is the sign that I had on my back.

Tori's Birthday

Tori turned six in July. It was so much fun! We had a ladybug birthday party! Here are some pics.






We colored our flower pots and then we made ladybugs to go inside our flower pots. We then headed outside to plant flowers in our pots. The little girls were all so cute!!




We then went on a treasure hunt, played place the spot (oreo) on the ladybug and opened presents and ate cupcakes! Birthday parties are sure a lot of work, but this one was so worth it to see my little girl so happy!

MOAB

We had so much fun in Moab this past weekend. Most of my siblings all went and so it was really fun for the cousins to play. We had 11 boys under the age of 11 and 2 girls both 5 years old. That is a lot of boys, and a lot of fun for them to all play! It was really cold at night. I think the low for the two nights was about 34 degrees. The kids slept remarkably well, they did not wake up once. I woke up about every hour to make sure that the kids were covered because I was worried that they would get cold, but they slept a lot better than I did! It was also really cold in the morning, I think that most of the kids ended up in the cars to get warm. The hiking weather was perfect though. I much prefer 55 degrees to 80 degrees for hiking. We went into Arches National park and did a bunch of mini hikes through out the day. It was a blast! The highlight of Arches was the sand for the kids. Tori laid down in the sand and said; "This is Heaven". Caden buried himself so well that a guy stepped on his neck! The guy felt so bad that he told Caden he would lay his son down in the sand and Caden could step on him! Scott tried really hard to build a sand house; not quite sure how that ended up?

Birthday Boy!

Scott turns 3 tomorrow. We celebrated it today cuz Caden and Scott are sick, we were suppose to go to Chuck E. Cheese's but could not cuz they were too sick. Sooo, we had three sad children and decided to celebrate his birthday a day early. He loved every minute of it! He is such a cute, happy boy!


Loves his Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads from Grandma!


Super Readers to the Rescue! Scott has developed a new obsession with Super Why. He adores this costume and his pen says zap, and he "Zaps" everything he sees.


When I asked Scott what kind of cake he wanted he said, Bob the Builder bonk his head cake. So when you see Bob a little tipsy on the cake it was planned. Bob is bonking his head on the sign.

Is it really still winter?

Goodness, is winter over yet? This is the never ending year of snow, freezing cold temperatures, and more snow. Anyway, I was going through my pictures of the kids this winter and decided to post a few.
