Bella boo is four months and Noah has cute undies...






Ode to my sister...

My sister thinks my blog is boring and that I need to update more frequently. So I tried to find an embarrassing picture of her but sadly I couldn't find one. So here is a picture of us many moons ago when times were simpler, children were healthy (or non existent in my case), waistlines were thinner (or at least mine anyway, Audrie has had the same since high school), money was plentiful, oh wait. Ah well, anyway love ya Smaudrie poo. Hope my Kristoffer is feeling better.

Potty trained

I am happy to announce that I now only have to buy one set of diapers instead of three. My friend used a 3 day potty training book on her son and it worked so I decided to give it a try on my boys. It actually worked, they have been out of diapers for a week now and really haven't had any accidents. Goodbye diapers, I won't miss you.

Up!!


On Saturday Wes and I took all of the kids to watch Up (that's right all four of them). They did amazingly well and did not get up once (except for Abbie's two bathroom breaks). It was a really cute movie and I was just thrilled that the kids all liked it. Bella fussed a little but I think it was because it was really loud.

Riding home...

On our way home yesterday we saw a rainbow, it was really neat. This isn' t the best picture but I was trying to drive and take it @ the same time so this is what I got. Keep scrolling down, there is more from our trip.

Slippin n Slidin




While we were visiting Kirtland we stayed at our GG's house and played on the slip n slide. They have a beautiful yard and the kids had so much fun playing and watering GG's flowers. Thanks for letting us stay GG.

Homemade pizza...








I have decided to document more of our everyday lives because I want to print off this blog someday. One of our favorite meals is homemade pizza and Easten is my little helper. He loves to sit on the counter and help me make it. Sometimes he helps a little too much but I still love that he is interested and I've heard that if a child helps prepare the meal he will be more likely to eat it. For those of you who don't know Easten he is extremely picky so I'm hoping that if he helps prepare it then he will be more likely to eat it. Of course what kid doesn't like pizza? And with this pizza I like to hide things in it that he can't see (wheat flour and some good veggies) and he has absolutely no idea.

Colorado mountains...


We went home for Memorial Day and had a good time, we went to the Colorado mountains for a day and the kids had a lot of fun. It's always so beautiful up there and it rained. I love the rain because I don't get to see it very much. I didn't take as many pictures as I should've but here are a few. Easten is just like his Daddy-he loves to shoot his bow.

It's official...

We have our very first thumb sucker.
