Spaghetti by Blake

Blake LOVES noodles! It's great to have a kid who likes to eat!!!

Fun Sunday

Landon set up 3 'zip lines' in the family room and helped the kids make 'airplanes' attached to straws that they could 'fly' over and over. It was SO FUN! The kids loved it and played for hours. It's so fun being married to Mr. Creative- he is the best Dad ever :)

More Cali pics

Disneyland

We saw Mickey Mouse right when we got to California Adventure. The kids were so excited! Don't be surprised if this ends up being our Christmas card picture!

Weston loved meeting Mickey and telling him about his Mickey underwear! Our 3 year old is finally potty trained! WoooHooo!

Blake loved his 'freedom' - Daddy loved not having to hold him all day long!

Our little monster, uh I mean monkey - the face just says it all!

We always get a picture with Pluto! He is our favorite Disney Puppy!

Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day. We had a wonderful day. We had breakfast and the kids gave Landon their cards and gifts. We then went to the Mormon Battalion and had a wonderful time - the tour was incredible as was the kids attention. They pumped water from the well, panned for gold and saw how bricks were made. We went to dinner after...well that was an experience with 9 adults and 15 kids under age 13!It's been a great day. Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dad's I know and love. But most especially to my wonderful husband who is THE BEST DAD EVER!!! I love you Landon!

California

We are so excited to be in california! The drive out was rough but it is great to be here!

Swet Kittens Ready For a Good Home

Sophie teaching her kittens how to eat

Kitty's playing

our 'spring mix'


6 weeks ago Sophie - our cat- woke me up to help her deliver 7 kittens! yes, 7!!! They are so sweet! They are litter box trained, eating kitten food and drinking water on their own. They love to play and snuggle and are very good with children, seeing as how we have 5 kids that love to play with them :) There is no charge and each kitty comes with a bag of Purina Kitten Chow. Please respond if you or anyone you know are interested in giving a little kitty a good home.

New Beginnings...

So today I had a wonderful and long awaited reunion! What a wonderful day. I will post pictures soon...gotta get them off my phone first LOL!

Spring Break Snow Trip

We took the kids up to my Aunt Ann's beautiful 'cottage' in Pinetop for the end of Spring Break. The kids had so much fun in the snow and sledding! I am so glad we don't live in it but can visit it!!!

Pinewood Derby

The boys first Pinewood Derby was SO fun! The only down side was that Porter had a Special Olympics Meet at the exact same time... so James raced Porter's car for him! Thanks so much to everyone who worked so hard and made it so great!!! The kids loved it and so did we!

Ruthie's 2nd tooth lost...

Ruthie lost her 2nd bottom tooth this morning. It has been so loose and she was freaking out that it would fall out at school. So, an hour late to school and a LOT of pep talk from Mom and she pulled out her tooth all by herself! She is so proud of herself. I am just glad that it's out and we won't have to deal with it anymore!

Porter and James at the Special Olympics Practice

James is Porter's partner for the special olympics. They had their practice on Saturday and Grandpa Varney took some great pictures! Here's a preview of just a few...

Ruthie lost her 1st tooth!

Ruthie has had 2 loose teeth for over a week. She finally let me 'wiggle' her very loose tooth quite a bit today and so tonight - after much 'coaxing' from Mommy, she lost her 1st tooth! Here is our proud girl! So excited for the Tooth Fairy to come and visit her tonight!

17months!

Blake is 17 months old today! Wow where did the time go? I can't believe that he's almost nursery age...I just had him...well sort of. But he's my baby! A big baby.
Blake loves to follow his brothers and sister around and do everything they do - dance, play guys, climb, eat ice :) - he thinks he is SO big. So here's to my little man who is getting way too big too fast!

Baby Ava's Brunch

We had a brunch for Breanna and Baby Ava! It turned out perfect (except for Alishia getting sick! Hope she is well soon!) the food was beautiful and the company was great. Breanna got some cute, fun and baby necessities for Little Ava coming in a week or less! I'm sure Breanna is hoping for less :)
The kids had fun playing together and watching Daisy dog in the backyard!
