"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Army Boy

Here’s my cute little army boy! He had his Daddy’s work hat on and his cute little army shirt we bought him at the army surplus store. Jaxon was so proud of himself that he matched!! I love this happy boy so much.

Kenna’s T-Ball Game

Kenna had her first T-Ball game and it was at 8:30 in the morning….ugh I really dislike early mornings!! But we made it on time surprisingly and it was a nice day. Kenna was so excited because this year they made superfan shirts for the parents to wear to the game and Kenna loved having me match her. It was a fun first game and Kenna is so fun to watch at ball games.

Raegan Loves to Read!

Raegan loves to drag all the books off the bottom two shelves of my book cases and she looks through all of them and laughs and talks to her self, she loves books!! No matter how hard we try to keep the books straight and organized it just will never stay that way because this little sweetie loves books so much!! Maddy and Kynzee are really good to read to Raegan and it is so cute because she will sit right there beside them on the couch and read. I hope Raegan always loves to read!!

Riding Motorbikes

The kids love to go out to the field and ride motorbikes, seems like spring and fall are the best times to ride because the weather is nice but not too hot so when they wear their helmets they don’t sweat to death :) I love this picture of the kids all lined up getting ready to go out and ride. I definitely have a stair step going on with my kids height.

Salt Lake City

We had to pick Josh up from the airport in salt Lake City so we decided since we had not seen him for awhile it would be nice to stay and spend time together as a family. So we got a hotel that had a water park in it and the kids loved that!! This was the most fun, child friendly hotel we have ever stayed in and the kids had a blast! We then went to the Hogle Zoo, it was such a warm beautiful day, perfect for visiting the zoo. The kids saw animals they had never seen before and they were so excited! Jaxon saw a turtle for the first time and he had been asking and asking to see one so that was fun. The kids loved the giraffes and the elephants! They rode the merry go round which is always fun for them! We really just had a wonderful time with each other and it was nice to have Josh back for a little while. He brought the kids back some high socks with the planets on them and Jaxon a space shuttle shirt and Raegan a little stuffed animal. He had gone to a space museum and found these for them, they loves them.
