"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

Setting up Elk Camp

The girls got to go with Josh and his family to set up their elk hunting camp. They were so excited to go but I was a little nervous. I was not going because I am not a big horse fan especially with a baby on a horse! So me and Jaxon stayed home and got a lot of scrapbooking done :) The girls had fun and came back in one piece which I was thankful for. Kynzee did fall off the mule she was on though, I guess she was not paying attention and they were going down hill and the mule put his head down and Kynzee went off the front and landed on the ground, oops! I heard all about it when they got home, I was just glad she was okay. And I was glad that my husband brought his camera and I got all these cute pictures.IMG_0061 IMG_0062  IMG_0064 IMG_0065  IMG_0067 IMG_0068     IMG_0073 IMG_0074  IMG_0076   IMG_0079  IMG_0081  IMG_0083 IMG_0084     IMG_0089 IMG_0091

Singing to Jaxon

O my goodness little Kenna loves to sing and she gets my hymn book out quite often but this time I found her in Jaxon’s room singing to him! It was so funny to watch because she didn’t think he was listening to her so she picked him up with one arm and tried to get him to look at her book. I am so glad I got a picture fast enough, it’s moments like this that I want to remember!DSC_0681

Cousin Emma’s Birthday Party

I can’t believe this little girl turned two, it seems like just yesterday they were living with me and they brought her home from the hospital! We had a fun birthday party at the park for Emma, it was a little chilly that night but the kids had so much fun.DSC_1402    DSC_1424DSC_1382 DSC_1394 DSC_1407  DSC_1434 DSC_1444  DSC_1449   DSC_1452 DSC_1457 DSC_1460 DSC_1470      DSC_1476  DSC_1478

Jaxon Swinging

The weather has stayed nice for so long, I have loved it and so have the kids. I am not looking forward to the cold! Jaxon loves to swing and his sisters love to push him in the swing :)

I don’t know what they were looking at, but these two are the sweetest little buddies! I just love watching them laugh and play with each other, Kenna is a second Mommy to Jaxon!

Lots of Helpers for Jaxon

I am asked quite often if my girls are big helpers with this baby boy in our house!! Well here is your proof. He always has little hands on him, he doesn’t have to do anything for himself that is for sure. The girls love, love, love him!! DSC_0630DSC_0634 DSC_0629  DSC_0631 DSC_0632DSC_0628 DSC_0633

Look A Likes

These two little girls are so sweet and they are not only best buddies but cousins as well. They are so lucky to live by each other and go to school together! I took these pictures one day when they were playing and I was noticing how much they look a like. Their ballet teacher and school teacher get them confused all the time and now I know why. Here’s Kynzee and Alyssa at 5 years old!DSC_1377 DSC_1369

Maddy can see now!!

I cannot believe I forgot to make a post about this! I have noticed comments from people asking if Maddy got glasses, well she sure did. She was coming home from school with bad headaches and my brother mentioned that he did that when his eyes were bad. So I took her in and got her checked and after I found out she couldn’t see I said something to her teacher at school and he said he noticed every time he asked her to read something on the board she would get out of her seat and walk up to the board to read it…..um if that isn’t a sign that she can’t see I don’t know what is. She picked these pretty pink glasses out all by herself and she can see so much better. I will now make sure when my kids start school I get their eyes checked because you just never know when they can’t see!! O yes and sorry about the crazy hair…Maddy was blessed with curly hair when she was born and after she plays all day this is what we get, gotta love it and I know she will love it some day!!DSC_0641 DSC_0643 DSC_0645
