Lehi Round-up Parade

I was asked to help with our ward float this year. I have never been involved with one before and didn't know what to expect but we had so much fun putting it together and it was fun to see everyone's ideas come together. I think I even added some of my own creativity to it. I didnt know I was capable :) All of the other women were sure it was going to do well but I had no idea what to expect I had never even been to the parade. We ended up winning the highest award called the Sweepstakes award it was really exciting!! Kenz was also able to ride on the float .Here are some pics of our awesome float. Thanks to everyone who helped and who cheered for us!

Strawberry Days Rodeo

My parents took us all the the Strawberry Days Rodeo this year. It was so much fun. Its always fun to see my boys in their cowboys hats. They look so cute. We went with all the cousins.

My first piggy tails

Adelyns hair is finally getting long enough to do something with. I thought she was going to fight me big time to get them in but she was surprisingly cooperative.

I'm Sorry

I am sorry for my lack of posting if there is anyone out there who really cares if I post or not. I hope someone out there has missed me :) I have been busy and also lazy but no good excuse I have some fun to stuff to blog and just haven't don't but don't worry I am going to do it....soon. Some of our biggest news is that Jeremy is looking for a job. If anyone has leads or suggestions we would appreciate them. He is trying to get back into the banking world but any suggestion are welcome. Thanks

Happy Birthday!!

The kids have a special message for Grandpa!!! We love you ! Thanks for all you do:)

First Day/Last Day

Today was the last day of Kindergarten for Kenz. I cant believe its over. The years just seem to get faster and faster. I put her in the same outfit as she wore for the first day so I could compare how much she had grown up. She loved Kindergarten so much but is excited for 1st grade too. She had a great teacher that taught her so much. Sometimes I'm surprised on the words she can read and spell. I was lucky enough to help in the class almost every week and I gained such an appreciation for how much teachers really do. I don't think I would have realized how awesome her teacher was and how hard she worked if I wasn't there. I'm glad I got to be so involved.

First Day


Last Day

Mackenzie and her teacher Mrs. Harding

Dance Festival

Mackenzie got to participate in her 1st Dance Festival at school this year. It was so fun to watch. The kindergarteners went last so I got to watch all the grades, which was actually really fun. Since I have two callings in the ward I teach a large range of ages of girls in the ward. Besides the 1st graders I had a girl in every dance. The were all very cute, but I think the Kindergartners were one of the best dances. The theme for all the dances was superheros.

Mackenzie 6th Birthday

Finally Mackenzie's bday has arrived. This poor girl has been watching all of her friends have their birthdays all school year. She was so excited hers FINALLY came. She invited some of her friends over and we played a water balloon toss. She also specifically requested "Pin the Tail." I asked her what kind of cake she wanted and she said Tinkerbell. I also asked her what presents she wanted and she said just a tinkerbell toy and some clothes! What a good simple little girl. I asked her if she wanted any toys and she said no just the one. Of course she was plenty excited about all the great gifts she got from her friends. She got to bring a treat to her school class. I think she had a great day. Here are some highlights of the day.

Easter Outfits

I was so excited about the kids outfits this year. I found them so early and I was glad they matched to well. Jeremy tried to match as well but we were in a early didnt really get a pic of all of us.

Easter Morn

Here are the kids showing off their Easter baskets!!

Easter Egg Hunts

Well I finally have something to blog about. Thats how boring we are but its ok. Boring means low stress. Both of our families live close so we squeeze both into the weekend but here are some pics of our Easter parties.

Our First Gum in Hair

We experienced our first gum in hair situation. I'm not exactly sure how it got in her hair she said she wasn't chewing it but whatever. Luckily with a little oil we worked it out quite easily and didn't have to cut any hair. This is about as exciting as it gets at our house right now. Which I am actually very happy about after our ridiculous February. I did have my wisdom teeth out the first week of March but after hearing lots of horror stories I am happy to say it was totally pain FREE. Jeremy kept trying to make me take pain meds and I kept telling him they didnt hurt. Well even after all the numbing and sedation wore off still no pain and I didnt swell. Although he did make fun of me under sedation, apparently I was quite a loud talker. Anyway I was very lucky. I told my husband my body just works better than most people I guess ???

Quick Update

Just wanted to give you all an update on Jeremy. Jeremy had a root canal in January and 2 weeks ago he had a post put in. After the post was put in his face was swollen about triple its original size. They thought the tooth was infected or he had a hematoma from the novacain hitting a blood vessal. Well after 2 antibiotics and an incision, it just got worse. Including a reaction to one of the antibiotics. Anyway he went an oral surgeon today and they made a new incision and drained lots of infection ( in nice words). It was an infected hematoma. The Dr. said it was a like a balloon so full it was about to burst. Jeremys body wasn't allowing the antibiotics to get to the infection. Anyway although he is in lots of pain. I think we finally have it fixed! Thanks again for all your support!

We are happy to see February GO AWAY!!!!! I am not really trying to be negative or complain. Maybe just vent a little. But I do want to note that I have the most amazing neighbors ever!!! I couldn't have picked a better place to live. Thanks for all of you that have cared about us! We love you!

Our baby is 1

Adelyn turned one last week. Everyone always says how fast kids grow up. I haven't ever felt it that much until this last one. I can't believe she is already 1. It feels like I had her 6 mos. ago. She has brought so much to our family. She makes us laugh all day! Adelyn has always been a busy body. She crawled and pulled herself up at 6 mos. She was walking at 10 1/2 mos. Just like Cole she is a copy cat and loves to say words. She is such a fun girl and I can tell she is going to bring a lot of fun to our family in the future. I am sure most of you have seen her dancing videos, I guess she is just a talented little girl already. If you haven't seen her dancing video you should scroll down and she it. Yeah she can do the robot already!!! :) Here is a slideshow of her bday.
