Camping

 

 

 

 

We went camping over Memorial Weekend for the first time in 2 years! We were all really excited to go. We had a great time. The girls did really well and loved being outside. Brayden and Peyton loved the mud, water and dirt. They were able to go on some nature hikes and shoot guns. We got a little wet (the trailor leaked) but it was a great weekend!

Little Red Riding Hood

 

 

Brayden tried out for a play that they put on at the school and he was chosen to be a Raccoon! He was so excited to be in the play. He was such a trooper, play practice every day after school and most of the day Saturday. But he loved it. The play was so cute. The Raccoons danced and sang songs and stole Red Riding Hood's basket! In the second picture Brayden is the 4th from the left on the top row.

Happy 50th

 

Today is my parents 50th wedding anniversary! What a great accomplishment,4 kids and 17 grandchildren. I am so lucky to have such great parents who have set a wonderful example to me and my family. They have shown us what a great marrige is. My mom and dad have always been there for us, no matter what. They are always willing to help and they give us all the support and love that we could ask for. Thank you so much for all that you have done for me and my family. We love you so much!!

Happy Easter!

 

We had a fun Easter morning at our house. The kids were so excited and had lots of fun finding the easter eggs that the Easter Bunny hid! The boys got a new Easter shirt and the grils got a new Easter dress. They all looked so cute. We had a fun Easter Egg hunt with Grandma and Grandpa Andrews and dinner with our great friends the Hewards.

Disneyland

Over spring break we headed off on a road trip to Disneyland! My wonderful sister in law and brother kept the girls for us. We had so much fun at Disneyland and California Adventure. The boys loved the rides, meeting all of the characters and watching the great shows. We were able to spend an afternoon on the beach and one day at Sea World. We had a great vacation. It was so nice to be the in warm sunshine and to pull out the shorts. I was ready to get home and see my babies but I sure do miss the warm weather!

Peyton's First Fish

 

Justin took the boys fishing today. The sun was shining but it was still on the chilly side today. I expected them back in just a few hours. They left at 9:30 this morning and didn't get home until 3:00. They had a blast. Peyton came home with his first fish. He got a big one. He was so happy with his catch. He loved catching the fish and he really wanted to eat it but he didn't want anything to do with touching it or cleaning it. We barley got this picture. As soon as we took the picture he said I need to wash my hands. That's my boy!

Wrestling

 

 

 

 

We started wrestling this year. Brayden was so excited to go. He is doing really well this year. It seems like everything he has learned the past few years is all clicking. We went to a wrestling meet in Evanston last Saturday. Peyton hasn't been wrestling. We decided to start him next year. Peyton decided he wanted to wrestle this year so we let him wrestle in the meet in Evanston. He loved it. They both did so well and had so much fun. They were both so proud of their 4th place medals!

Family Pictures

Last week we had our family pictures taken. They turned out so great!!!! Thanks to Rebecca White who took our pictures www.starvalleyportraits.com She does great work. Check out her website.

Brayden is 6

 

 

 

 

Yesterday was Brayden's 6th birthday. We celebrated on Sunday with family and had cake and ice cream. Then yesterday he invited a few friends over and played with them. Yesterday was the first day of wrestling too. He was so excited to go. He got new wrestling shoes for his birthday so he looked all spiffy in his singlet and new shoes. Overall I think he had a great birthday. I just can't believe that he is 6 years old already!

6 Months Old

 

 

I can't believe how fast the time goes. Cara and Caylin are now 6 months old. Cara is rolling from her back to front and Caylin rolls both ways. Caylin knows that she can get somewhere by rolling so she goes all over. They are eating rice cereal everynight and started drinking out of a sipppy cup. This last weekend we went to Idaho Falls and spent the night at a hotel. The girls got to go swimming for the first time. They loved it. The boys thought that was so much fun to have them swim with them. My girls are growing up!
