"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

Bear Lake

We always have so much fun at Bear Lake, but this year was just absolutely wonderful!! The weather was perfect, no wind, it was perfect temperature, it was just beautiful. I could not have asked for better. The kids had a blast!! I took my niece Jani with us and the girls played so hard with each other. My cousin Monika came over from Woodruff to see us and play for a day, the kids just love her. Jaxon got to discover the sand and water for the first time and he loved it. He loved feeling the sand on his toes and through his tiny fingers I loved watching him. We had an amazing weekend!! I feel so lucky to be able to go and do so many fun things with my little family. I hope someday my kids will look back and remember all the fun things we did together and how much it strengthened our family. If they don't remember I will have plenty of pictures for them to look at because I capture all the memories in pictures :) I love this sweet family of mine and I am so thankful to be on this journey of life with each one of them.

Always fun with sisters around :)

I use this blog as a journal for my kids to see and read someday so I try very hard to keep up on it!! Well this is a post I must make for my little boy to read someday. I cannot even describe to you what it is like for him to live in a house with three older sisters!! He is constantly being touched and moved and pushed and you name it they do it to him :) I turn my back for a minute and I come back to something like this and I have to run and get my camera to I can catch a picture or two so I can show this sweet boy how loved he was. Let's just say he loved the laundry basket and his oldest sister loved pushing him in it as well. And Kynzee loved sharing her purple blanket with him also. They all helped.... they always do :) O yes and the red cheek....those mosquitoes love his chubby cheeks :)




Gotta Love this sweet Boy!!!

I had to take some cute pictures of my boy in his polo shirt the other day. People always told me that it was no fun to dress boys but I have sure had a lot of fun with it!! Jaxon would not look at me for nothing though.....

He had to taste his fingers like always!

He was looking at his sisters (but notice how he is sitting alone!!! He has mastered that skill, I know he is almost eight months old and is a little behind but hey I never push anything, they grow up too fast as it is :))
He was grabbing those fat feet every chance he could!!! He usually tries to eat his big toe :)
He turned his head just so I could get a shot of those adorable chubby cheeks that I get to love on all day long :) Even a mosquito loved his cheeks :)

And then he finally noticed me and was not happy because he was not being held!! Gotta love this sweet boy of mine, I sure do!!!


Mornings!!!

I am not a morning person and I never have been, probably never will be. Well I have one little girl who loves mornings and she has to make sure that everyone else in the house is awake when she wakes up. KENNA!!!! The first person she wakes up is her brother. She wants to hold him and kiss him and sing to him and if she could she would probably dance with him. Kenna adores baby Jaxon, she has from the day she first saw him or I should say before that because she loved on him when he was in my belly. Anyway here are some morning pictures of Kenna and Maddy loving on their sweet baby brother.




Fullmer Family Reunion

The Fullmer Family Reunion.......What a fun week of the summer... what more can I say. We do the same thing every year, we camp and some even camp for the whole week :) We always have a theme and a family that is in charge, this year it was Easter and the kids got to have an Easter egg hunt and break a pinata they had tons of fun. It was wonderful weather and we didn't even end up with tons of mosquito bites!!! Here are some of the hundreds of pictures I took :) Gotta love family and the fun memories you make with them even if you only see them once a year!!
