"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

The snake

I was doing Katie’s baby shower and Josh was suppose to be watching the kids for me. Well I don’t know how well I liked his babysitting on this particular day. The kids found this snake and he helped them get it and hold it and touch it etc etc. Nasty!! I absolutely hate snakes so this really disgusted me out, and Kynzee….really honey I was so surprised by her. Gross!!!

Baby Shower for Katie

I am so lucky to have a sister! I remember I was 4 years old and we had a wishbone from the turkey and I got to break it with someone and I wished for a  baby sister. I was the only girl of three boys and I wanted a sister so bad. Well about a year later I got a baby sister, and I was so happy. The Lord new I would need a sister in this life :)  I got to throw a baby shower for Katie and it was so much fun. We had a ton of people come, I tried to get lots of pictures but I didn’t get pictures of everyone. Katie is very loved by family and friends, they were all so good to her. I think she is all ready for this new baby to come now! Only a few more weeks and baby Kolby will be here!!! Love you Katie!

Zoo day with Kynzee

Kynzee’s Kindergarten class went to the zoo and I was lucky enough to get Josh to watch my other kids so I could go with her. We had so much fun on the bus together, Kynzee loves the bus..me not so much :) Miss Walker asked the kids to make sure they were all with an adult and my niece Alyssa is in that class so she was with me as well. Kynzee and Alyssa are such good little friends and they had so much fun at the zoo together. It was a beautiful warm day to spend at the zoo!

I don’t know how people take pictures of themselves while holding the camera, Kynzee and I tried about 50 times and Kynzee was laughing so hard at some of the pictures we took. Well this is as good as we could get of us on the bus ride home :)

Maddy’s haircut

I have always thought how lucky I was to have girls who never try to cut their own hair. Well, I was wrong…Maddy got a hold of the scissors a few weeks ago and this is her aftermath that we are dealing with. She has had to wear a headband everyday for the last month because we cannot get these short pieces of hair to stay down. She has even sprayed them with tons and tons of hairspray without me knowing and they still don’t stay down. I don’t notice the hairspray mess until I wash her hair at bath time that night :) Let’s just say Maddy has learned her lesson because she is very annoyed with this new haircut of hers.

Happy Birthday Dad

My Dad is the best Dad ever!!! He does so much for me and I am so blessed to have him in my life. If I ever need anything big or small I know my Dad will be right there to help me out. My kids love “Pa Pa” so much and he is so sweet to them. Happy Birthday to the best Dad ever! We had cake and ice cream for him to celebrate his birthday….the kids always love to go to their house, they had lots of fun.

Grandma’s ducks are Jaxon’s favorite things to play with when he goes to her house. I couldn’t get a very good picture of him with them because he is so busy, but here he is playing with the yellow duckies!
