Our Weekend

Over the weekend, we went and stayed with Breed's mom in Lehi. We had so much fun! In Pleasant Grove, we went to this place called The Kangaroo Zoo. It is full of those inflatable slides that they have at carnivals. Well, this place is full of them. There is around probably 10 of the slides in this great big building. You just kind of let your kids go and roam and they have a blast. Poor Maddie, though, she was so sick. She wanted to play so bad, and she did a little, but she mostly just wanted to hang with Mom and Dad.
Sunday we went to Rodizio Grill. That place is so yummy. They just keep bringing you meat after meat and they cut you off a piece of everything from fish to chicken to pork to beef, you name it, they bring it. We all thought they were going to have to roll us out of there when we were finished. We definitely left there stuffed!



Breed's brother Rocky was pretty popular. All the kids wanted to sit on his lap to watch a movie.

Catch Up

I know it has been forever since I last posted, but it has been pretty hectic for us these past four or five weeks. This past Tuesday Breed's Grandma Evelyn passed away from a variety of illnesses. So it was kind of a blessing that she passed, because her body couldn't really take anymore. Breed got to see a lot of family from his mom's side of the family that he hasn't got to see in a very long time, which was nice. Everything went well though! His Grandpa Elmer is doing good. We had him over for dinner tonight, and he was in really good spirits given the circumstances. You can tell he sure misses her.
I will be sure and update pics. Carter is now 6 months old. He is getting so big. Where does the time go? Nothing much has really changed with our other kids, maybe just their attitudes :)!
Well, catch ya later!

Happy Birthday Sierra Marie!

Last Monday was Sierra's 4th Birthday! We didn't have her party until Tuesday night though, because we thought it would be fun to drive to Heber and take the kids on the Polar Express. It was a quick trip being that we left at about 4:00 p.m. and got home about mid-night! The kids had so much fun. We got the kids dressed up in their jammies so they could really enjoy the whole experience. The entire train car even sang Happy Birthday to Sierra, which she wasn't too thrilled about. Santa and Mrs. Clause visited the kids and everyone sang Christmas carols with the elves. It was a lot of fun. Here are some pics of the train and of Sierra's party.


Here is Sierra and her presents.

Sierra really, really wanted to have a Barbie: Diamond Castle birthday!

This was when they were reading The Polar Express. They give everyone on the train a book and let them follow along!

Family Pic!

Santa Clause

For Thanksgiving we went to Casper to spend the holiday with my grandparents who live there. While we were there we took the kids to visit Santa at the mall. Sierra could not wait! However, when we got there and it was finally their turn Madison and Sierra wanted nothing to do with him. So, we had to get a picture with mom and all the kids around me instead of Santa. Go Figure! :)
If you click on the picture you'll get a better understanding! Madison's face says it all! She was so thrilled to be there. He He.

New Family Pics

Here are our new family pics. Tiffany Morton took them and she did a fabulous job. I am really impressed with them. Can you believe how big our kids are getting! We can't! Carter is already 5 months old. Time is sure flying by so fast; especially when you have four kids!
