HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY MACKENZIE!

Both Grandparents came to celebrate her b-day in Park City. She loves them so much!







Mackenzie had her long awaited birthday. She has watched all of her cousins for months having their b-days and she has been so excited. We went up to Park City for the whole week mostly for her birthday because she loves hotels.

1st Photoshoot

So I would have to admit I have never had my kids pictures professionally taken. Mackenzie is so shy it would take her awhile to warm up and I think the pictures I have taken of them are just fine. Anyway they had a professional photographer take Kenzies school pictures and she was offering a great deal so I thought why not. These are some of the pics. Cole was being a stink but they turned out cute.



My girls! Mackenzie was so embarrassed the whole time it was hard to get her to smile normal. Until we gave her the baby she was so happy!



My three kids. We all know its almost impossible to get kids to all be good at the same moment but I still love it I think you can see their personalities better!

Finally a Little Vacation

We got to go to Park City last week , all week for our time share and we thought it would be fun to do it over Mackenzies b-day week. The first day it was snowing but still plenty warm for the kids in the pool. They didn't want to leave they played in the pool for hours. It was so great to getaway!






They had a girl there doing some face painting. My kids had them on their arms. She did a great job! Cole was so warn out he slept on Mackenzie.
Our friends came over the weekend and we had lots of fun and the factory outlets. She has on size 18 basketball shoes. I don't even think the picture does justice. They were huge! The boys also had lots of fun in the pool too. Yes, I said boys. Our friend Brian wanted to try out Mackenzies tube.

Yes I Changed My Blog


If any of you actually care or noticed I changed my blog. Since the Avalanche lost I am discontinuing my support for them. Especially since their last lost was quite embarrassing. I am still a fan but the season is over and I thought I would make my blog pretty for a bit. I could do it for the Jazz but I don't care as much for them and I can't say I love the Jazz colors. Well go Jazz anyway!!

Pro Golfer

I thought I would show off Jeremy's golf swing a little bit. He would probably kill me if he knew I put this on here. I think he has one of the prettiest swings ever. I've never seen one better. Except for maybe the pros! Too bad he can't follow his dream. I know he would sure love to golf for a living. I know he is playing in a tournament today instead of working!!

FOUND DOG

I am happy to report that some nice girl saw her last night and picked her up. Luckily I called the pound several times this morning and someone called in. Now I feel a lot better and I can sleep. Woo hoo!!! Thanks for those of you that helped. You're awesome neighbors!!!

Lost Dog

I have been watching my parents dog, and she wandered off this evening. We had left the door open to enjoy the nice air. When we noticed it was after 11:00 pm. She is a small toy pomeranian. She is tan and black. She is pretty old and can't hear well anymore. Her name is Elise. She can really only hear loud whistles. If you see her or have heard of anyone that may have seen her. Please let us know. Thanks for your help!! If you read this pass it on for me.

Workout Plea!!

I am dying to go workout, but I am not crazy enough to get up a 6. :) Plus I can't do the class thing. I hate working out alone. So if there is anyone out there that would want to go at a more decent time. I want to know who you are!! I just want to run a little and lift weights. I am a good workout partner. We can go after dinner even when husband are home or during the day I would just need to find someone to watch my baby she is to little for the nursery at the legacy center. Some one please respond!?! :)

Flying Kites



It was finally warm enough to go outside but it was really windy so we pulled out the kites the kids got for Easter.


They had to hold on really tight! They had been begging to do this for weeks. They had lots of fun.



It took lots of tries to get the kites in the air. It was probably too windy. It was really gusty and the kites kept dive bombing. I almost got hit several times.

Jeremy makes fun of me cause I always get nervous watching sporting events when it exciting. We should also note that the Jazz won their first playoff game too....

Funny Story


Mackenzie found a penny on the floor a couple days ago and of course she was excited. She loves money. We got her a atm machine for Christmas so she could put her money in there. Anyway she asked me who the guy was on the front of the penny. I told her he used to be the president. She looked at the penny and asked,"Why are the prophets on the penny?" I tried to explain it was the president of our church it was the president of where we lived. She didn't really get it? It made me feel good that she knew what the prophets were though

Adelyn's Blessing

We blessed Adelyn on Sunday and it was a good day. We had lots of family and friends there. After we had some yummy BBQ beef sandwiches for lunch/dinner. I think we had over 50 people there. It was really nice and great that we have that many people to support us. We were very thankful for the one really warm day this weekend so we could send all the kids outside. We had atleast 30 kids there!!! I'm so thankful for the priesthood and her blessing was beautiful. My mom and I made the dress for Kenz and I couldn't resist using it again. My mom did most of the work.





These are her first smiles for the camera. How sweet!!!



Our first picture as a family of five. Although I can't say I love the picture its ok. Its good to just see us all together, right? My three kids together, I don't think they ever look bad.

GO AVALANCHE!!!


I know it seems odd for a girl to have a sports theme for her background but I have to admit I love watching hockey. Well mostly the Colorado Avalanche!! So this week the playoffs started so to help them WIN I'm dedicating my site to them. What else would a real fan do?

Tough Girl

You better watch out she takes after her Mom. I used to beat all the boys up. She wants to play boxing when ever we turn this game on. She was putting up a good fight too, she took him to all 3 rounds. Our Wii is one of the most fun things we have ever had.
