Sometimes I think I have 5 children. Every time it rains, Tyler rolls up his pants and runs outside to play in the drain. I guess there is 1 benefit to living on the corner. He grabs the broom and pushes all the leaves, water etc down the big drain and has way too much fun. More fun then a grown man should be having in the rain ... at least outside where people can see you.Here's how the

Reagan had a "spa day" and was cracking me up. She asked for cucumbers for her eyes. Where does she learn this stuff? She was laying down, relaxing, while de-puffing her eyes. Hilarious. A shaggy haired boy nuck in on the picture. Hair cut post to follow.

This little lady turned 5 a few weeks ago!Reagan had her 1st birthday party and had 3 little friends over. It was a great party and she had a lot of fun. It was so cute to see how excited they all were. Reagan is so spunky and brings so much joy to our lives. She is always saying the funniest, off the wall things. We love her spicy attitude!She is going to "Husky School" preschool this year and

Christmas is my favorite time of year, especially the decorations.Having a baby was all the effort I had this year. Thank goodness I have a wonderful husband who loves his kids. He loves his wife too, he sent me to Idaho with the baby, on the shuttle for a few days of much needed vacation and pampering from her mom.While I was gone he put up our tree, found the star and spent hours stringing

Christmas Jammies are a tradition on Christmas Eve.They all looked so cute!I guess McKinley wasn't quite ready to sit up on her own.Lincoln did not want to sit next to the baby, he made sure he sat as far away as possible.He has since decided she's okay and even kinda likes her ... thank goodness.We moved the baby onto Reagan's lap to avoid a neck cramp.Cute baby. I made her, I'm awesome.

On Christmas Eve Eve we had a party at Tyler's sisters house. Since McKinley grows so fast, I put one of her Christmas dresses on her that night and snapped a few pictures. There aren't even enough Sundays for her to wear all of her dresses before she grows out of them. Especially during RSV season. So this was the perfect time! This outfit was a gift to Reagan from our friends 5 years ago. Still

I have a ton of catch up to do on this blog. Having 4 kids takes a lot of work!!This was McKinley's first bath. She loves the bathing part, but isn't very happy when she has to get out of the warm water and get dressed. If the getting baby ready after the bath as quickly as possible part were an olympic sport, this mom would have a gold medal!It's crazy how much she looks like Reagan. I have a

I am 38 1/2 weeks pregnant and very ready to have this baby.The kids are getting so excited for me to "get the baby out." Me too, me too.Here is a run down of recent events, and don't be surprised if they change before I even get this posted to my blog.1 - I've been planning on getting induced the 17Th for weeks and weeks.2 - Stinker decides breech is the best position3 - Take a trip to the

We carved pumpkins the usual way ... the day before Halloween. We're cool like that.Winco always has the cheapest/biggest pumpkins. Tyler did not disappoint this year, as usual.We had the kids draw a face on and then attempted to cut it out. Attempted being the key word. Tyler decided Lincolns was too hard, and just left his marker face on. After a tiny guilt trip from me, he carved a face the

My sweet Kennedy turned 7 on October 29TH.Again, how the time flies. I feel like I say that every single day.Seven sounds so old, and I think it really is. She has grown up so much the past couple months and I couldn't be more proud of her. She has taken right off in 1st grade and is loving every minute. Maybe not the waking up early part, but every other minute. She is a math whiz and loves to

Halloween this year was busier then ever!Some of the festivities included: Kennedy's costume birthday party, Reagan's trick or treat party at preschool, Kennedy's Halloween parade at school, neighborhood party with friends, pumpkin carving, and trick-or-treating our neighborhood. Somewhere in there we made dessert for our ward party that we couldn't even attend with so much going on!Reagan /

uch to Tyler's dismay, the Boise/Air Force tickets sold out super fast. We found tickets online, but they cost way too much. We picked this game to go to months ago, and were sad we couldn't go. Can you believe that just before the game, a ton of general admission tickets were released. I've never seen Tyler run around the house so fast trying to figure out how to order them.We go tickets and my

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am that Boise State Football is coming this Saturday. At 6 P.M. Mountain Standard Time the Broncos of Boise State will be facing the Bulldogs of Georgia. Boise State is ranked #5 and Georgia is ranked #19. This is a rematch of a 2005 game in which Boise was blown out 48 to 13. For the last 3 years the Broncos have opened up with a big game and won.

How did this happen? When did Kennedy get so old? It broke my heart to drop my little girl off at FIRST GRADE today. What a transition from Kindergarten. All day school, lunch, 2 recesses, no buses this year etc. etc. etc. She has grown up so fast, and is so ready to go back to school. She loved Kindergarten and excelled in everything, she is very eager to learn. I'm glad she will be back into

The annual Caribou County Fair didn't disappoint! We took the kids to the demolition derby this year instead of the rodeo. They loved it. We had front row seats (not by choice, it was packed) and got sprayed with mud more then once. The kids were pretty good, it got kinda long. The half time show is always so funny. They have teams driving on a four-wheeler. The guy on the back has a foam bat

I love that the Caribou County Fair always falls on the same weekend as Raspberry Days in Bear Lake. It sure was nice of them to plan it that way. Not only are the raspberry shakes THE best ever, there is a great craft etc. fair with games, rides etc. for the kids. I found some cute little things and the kids got their faces painted. While I did buy enough shakes to go around, 2 of the 3 kids

We had so much, we did the same thing the following weekend with the Nelsons. Needless to say, we are BEACHED OUT!!

I can't believe he's 3. He has grown up so fast. He's turning into a little man, and it has been so fun watching him learn and grow. While I love watching him grow and become more independent, I miss the little mamas boy stage. He's a good kid for the most part, and is learning to share better. It's hard being the only boy! I'm not sure what he'll think when his little sister is born. Poor little

The kids rushed through their baskets, were spoiled as usual and had the cutest Easter outfits yet. Yes Tyler, there is such a thing as an Easter dress.

Who sleeps like this? I'll tell you who, Reagan.Does she even have parents? I think she might be a hobo.She turned a diaper box into a cozy little bed. And I mean little.I would love to say that this was a one time thing. Nope.At my parents house last week, she found a similar box and, you guessed, jumped right in at bed time. She fell right to sleep. Don't worry Tyler always puts her in bed once

I'm looking for the Buzz LightYear and Woody talking dolls. They are ridiculous full price, so I'm hoping to find a used set. Keep your eye out at your local thrift stores etc. and I'll pay ya back. Do you have a set that you don't want anymore? I'll buy em.Do you have a set that you want to let us borrow? I'll borrow em.Consider it a challenge, that way it will seem like you're having fun ...

It's been a week since my surgery, and I'm starting to feel ... okay. Barely okay. I've been feeling like I got run over by a train, and that said train keeps backing up and running over me again!I'm probably just being a baby, but that was a lot of surgery at one time. Thankfully, the Dr. said it went great. It only took 45 minutes, instead of the hour and a half he scheduled. When he took my

Kennedy had "crazy hair day" at school. This is as crazy as a I get.I took these pictures after school, before they were pretty voluminous.We went grocery shopping right after school, and I forgot to take Kennedy's hair out.She was MAD when we walked in the store and she realized her hair was still crazy.I let her hair down, but it wasn't much better. Oops.

Did I mention we love going to the Salt Lake? Yes, I think I did. See how excited we get?Or is that because he found a "treasure."The kids love to explore and find treasures, and Tyler found a golf ball. Lucky.Tyler had a day off, so we headed out to explore. It was WINDY. The kids are such troopers and we stayed outside for hours. Do they look cold? At least they tried to smile! I love this

I may have mentioned this, but we love going to the Salt Lake.The kids could run, climb, explore all day. I have a hard time getting over the dirt, especially when my kids wore their new PJ's from Christmas ... but it's still such a fun time.

GOODBYE JANUARY!!I'm pretty sure January was the worst month EVER for my family.Tyler's surgery went well, and he's doing okay. He's excited to be able to use his arm again, and will hopefully be in tip top shape by summer.The surgery took longer then expected, but the Dr. was pretty impressed with his "new technique." Not sure how I feel about my husband being a guinea pig, but at least it was

When will I learn that I CAN NOT CUT HAIR!I tried to trim it up a bit ... but did really really bad above one ear. So off it all came.This time I at least remembered to put a guard on. BEFORE AFTER - is that the same kid?Needs a snip here and there, but that's as good as it gets at this point.

That just doesn't look right. And no, he's not just a bony shouldered man. Yep, that's a BUSTED collar bone ... and my closet in the background.Tyler was night skiing over New Years, and this is the result.Did he come straight home and go to the Dr. ? Nope, he finished snowboarding and went to Denny's first, of course. At least it wasn't his fault. I would have been a little upset if he was

This girl, she's pretty much the cutest girl ever. Really, ever. Wouldn't you agree?Her brother may have some crazy long hair. But this hair, this hair I will cut.Poor girl, she has her moms stringy, fine hair. I feel her pain, I still haven't found a great hair cut for me, (well, one that my husband doesn't think is "ugly" that is. Why must he hate a-lines?) or learned how to style my hair?

Once again, I took the Christmas card pictures way too close to Christmas.There were, however, a few firsts this year.I actually DIDN'T get Christmas cards sent. That's a first.When looking at the pile of presents to wrapped, feeling overwhelmed, I

K lost her first tooth!It was quite the ordeal, but when all was said and done, she was super excited.She was crying so hard, and thought it was so "creepy."It is kind of a weird concept, I guess. I can understand how weird that must be for her!She went through half a roll of toilet paper. Between blowing her nose, wiping her tears and using it to grip her tooth ... it was kinda funny to watch.

I participate in a program called booksneeze. As part of this program I received the book "Same Kind of Different as Me" By Ron Hall and Denver Moore. I seriously loved this book. It was a quick read and a great story. It's a true story about a black man and former slave, Denver Moore, who ends up living on the streets. Ron Hall and his wife volunteer their time helping the needy in their city

I seriously need to start bringing my camera with me. We went to the Minnetonka Cave while up in Idaho. It is HUGE, there are 448 stairs in ... and another 448 stairs out. That doesn't include all the walking between stairs either. Did I bring tennis shoes? Nope. Yep, that's right folks, I walked all that in flip flops. Genius. And the tennis shoes I brought for K apparently hurt her feet. So,

After Bear Lake, we went camping. I thought we were going to a campsite. You know ... the kind with at least port-a-potty and hand sanitizer. You know ... the one with little squared off spaces for your tent to sit nicely. You know .. the kind with picnic tables and such, little walk ways and such.NOPE.

Kenendy will start Kindergarten Sept. 3rd, and we're trying to soak up all the freedom we can!We went to Bear Lake again with our friends the Nelsons. The weather started out kinda cold and windy but quickly turned to the perfect "beach"

Lincoln turns two July 11th, but since the whole family was together on the 4th we had an early birthday party! He was so dang cute. When we sang to him, he smiled bigger then I've ever seen him smile. Melted my heart. He loved opening presents and played with his race track the rest of the week. He's still playing with it now that we're home. Thanks to my family for a great little party for my

As usual, we headed up to I.F for the 4Th. As usual, it didn't disappoint!I was dead set on not going to the parade. But come parade morning, my dad offered to take Kennedy. Okay. then Reagan felt bad. So they took Reagan too. My dad let me know that he would watch Lincoln too if we came. Not 2 minutes after they left, the guilt set in. So we Tyler, Lincoln and I hurried over. Thanks for the

This little lady busted some muttons!! Tyler took her to the local rodeo and she was SO excited.She practiced and practiced and we told her if she did her very best she'd get a trophy. Cute cowgirl, braids and all. Can't forget the boots! #157 ... She did her best!!She was obviously super excited. She got a trophy, a cute bandana, a $1 coin and a coupon for free kettle corn.GOOD JOB COWGIRL

Well, the kids do anyway. I'm just fine with Spring all year. But at least it gives us something do to. The pool under the slide is the happening thing, so the kids won't have it any other way. I tried and tried to get a picture of them all looking at me ... but gave up. Take 1 Take 2 Take 3 Uhhh ... whateverAt least they had fun!

I've been trying CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless for a few days and really like their products. I don't usually wear a ton of make up, because I don't like how heavy it feels. I was however, super impressed with how light weight this make up is.I know and trust Cover Girl brand already, and have been using their products since Jr. high! I was again impressed with the simply ageless line. I know,

I went up to Idaho all last week, with kids in tow, to help my mom spring clean.And we worked our fingers too the bone!Luckily she's returning the favor in a few weeks!!After hours of cleaning during the day, I worked on my crafty projects at night.I made these cute wood animals for Lincolns room, and loved how they turned out!

With the weather finally warm enough for one afternoon,we took Kennedy to learn to ride without training wheels.She was SO excited, and learned really fast. And thank goodness, because it started raining! Daddy was so patient, and a great teacher. It only took a few minutes before she had it down!Then we mastered turning and stopping. Now she's a pro!And just in time. I promised Reagan a bike

Kennedy graduated from preschool May 14Th!She has learned so much and is super ready for kindergarten. And so is mommy now that it's traditional and not year round. I can't help but think this is an answer to my prayers!This is what and almost kindergartner looks like.And a cute 3 year old sister to boot! And a cheesy little brother with something in his mouth too! Cap and gown and everything.

After our crazy Easter Eve, we went to bed and woke to a wonderful Easter morn.The kids were so excited, and finally dragged their sleepy parents from their cozy beds. The rest of the morning went as usual. First they found all the eggs and then dug into their baskets. They being the girls. Lincoln found 1 egg, ate all the jelly beans inside drooled rainbow goo all over our carpet, couch and

We had quite an adventurous Easter Eve ... that seems to be the norm for our family. Let's back track 1 week. I somehow missed the fact that Easter and conference were the same weekend. That means no Easter dresses the Sunday before Easter. I did pick the frilliest dresses I could find in their closet and called it good, and I think I was THE only one who was feeling bad.

Dear Reagan,If you're going to run to me screaming, with tears even, about a big spider, implying that you want me to "get rid of it" .. like I'm the mob or something ... Please, after the hit, don't tell me I made it die and flushed it down the potty and now it misses it's family. That kinda makes me feel bad. Sincerely,Mama.
