What cute kids they are

WE LOVE YOU LACE!!!

We had such a great time at Lacey's high school graduation. ��I cannot believe she is finally done with high school. ��I'm so proud of my little sister she is an amazing example and has such a strong testimony for such a young age. ��She would wake up every day at 5:00 am for seminary and I know it has blessed her life because she made such a sacrifice. ��We are proud of you Lace and hope you continue to make good decisions as you go away to college. ��

Swim Lessons in our backyard

We put the kids in swim lessons at the beginning of June and the youngest 2 kids hated it. ��The water was still to cold. ��We loved their teacher who came to our house twice a week. ��These are just a few I got on the last day

We are having a baby girl!!!

WOW!!! ��Macey and I went to the doctor yesterday and I was measuring 7 weeks bigger than my due date so the doctor decided to do an ultrasound. ��The baby was measuring perfect for my dates. ��The doctor could right away tell what the sex was so Macey talked me into finding out. ��We were going to wait until I delivered. ��That did not last long. ��It was definately a girl. ��Macey will finally have a little sister. ��The baby is due in November around Macey's birthday so she told me before we found out that if it was a girl that's all she wanted for her birthday. ��If it was a boy she wanted presents. ��That sure will make mom's life easier. ��We are so excited to add a little girl to the mix of all our boys. ��We waited to tell everyone until I was 15 weeks. ��I have never been so sick in any other pregnancy. ��I finally around 14 weeks started to feel better. ��

My sweet little niece

Macey loving the new baby

We are so lucky to have come to Flagstaff this weekend to see our newest little niece. ��She is so beautiful. ��She looks just like her older brother Zane. ��She weighed 6 lbs 7 oz. ��Heidi is doing well and we are waiting for her to come home so we can see Baby Claire again. ��Brian swears that's the name and Heidi is still not sure. ��We can not wait to hear the final word. ��The kids have really enjoyed being with their cousins. ��We are so happy we could come and help Brian and Heidi. ��Congratulations We love you guys!!!

Preschool Graduation

WOW!! Jett made it past preschool. ��(ha ha) Lil' Einsteins Preschool made the kids feel so special by making a darling video and giving them their diplomas one at a time. ��It was really long for just preschool

Macey's Dance Recital

Macey took dance from Crystal Bowman for 5 months. ��She really enjoyed it. ��They did tumbling and cheer. ��They had a performance at the end of it and Macey was so nervous she started to cry and told me she would not do it. ��Everyone was waiting for her to come out. ��She has such a fear of performing in front of people!

Happy Easter!!!

We had such a great Easter. ��We went on Sat. to Freestone Park with Mason's family and had a egg hunt and just enjoyed the nice weather. ��We woke up Easter morning and ate pink pancakes and the kids played hot and cold to find their Easter baskets. ��Roc and Tate are wearing the same shirts Jett and Roc wore 2 Easter's ago. ��Mom was not on the ball this year with the Easter attire. ��Macey woke up and said," Mom you forgot to get me an Easter dress and it was sad because I did not forget I just thought an old dress in her closet would do." Mom and Dad wrote each child a sweet card that they will cherish. ��Macey being 7 really loved the sweet words we wrote. ��We then went over to Scott and Tracey's for Easter dinner. ��We had another egg hunt that ��"cousin" Taylor put together. ��It is so nice to have older kids to do that stuff. ��We ate yummy food and just hung out. ��We missed not having grandma, ��grandpa, Lace, Ash and the rest of our cousins. �� It was so fun with the newest addition to our family their Elsie Rose, which makes 19 grandchildren. ��She is beautiful and of course her mom had her in the most adorable Easter dress. ��

Park City Ski Trip

���� �� �� �� �� �� �� �� Mason �� �� ��and Macey went skiing in park city. ��I��

surprised him with the trip for Valentine's Day. ��I never like to go skiing and know he loves it. ��My parents and sisters were going skiing around the same��time so it worked out for Macey to hang out with Ashlyn. ��They had such a blast and Macey��did such an amazing job for her first time. ��She was going down blues by the end of the trip.

Happy Birthday Roc

My sweet little boy. ��We had a small party at the park with Roc's family. ��I can not believe you are 3. ��You are the sweetest 3 year old ever. ��I love how you always tell me you love me. ��You are such a great boy and Tate sure loves playing with you. ��We had dippin dots and you were so excited. ��Your uncle Ira sure loves you and you love when he comes over.

My poor baby

This was back in february, but wanted to get it on my blog so I would not forget it. ��This was such a horrible week for my little Tate. ��He had been sick with a cold for several days and I had been sick in bed so Mason had been taken care of him for the past 2 nights all night. ��I felt so bd so I decided to go in around 6:00am and relieve my poor husband. ��When I got to him he looked so bad. ��His stomach was retracting and nostrils were flaring. ��I got pretty concerned about his struggle to breathe. ��I called the doctor at 8:00 am and told them my son was not breathing well. ��They got us in right away and took one look at him and sent us to the emergency room. ��The Er was packed, but because of his situation they got us right in. ��He ended up in the hospital 5 nights with pneumonia and RSV. ��He got even worse before he got better. ��It broke my heart to see him like this. ��Grandma flew in from California to help us out. ��She spent the nights with Tate so we could go home to the other children. ��I could not have done it without her. ��Tate had many visitors. ��His Aunt Stephanie, Marlo, and Tracey . ��His grandpa Dwight and Grandma Dinah. ��Our bishop Butler and Rick Wilson. ��My vt Suni Taylor. ��He also had many phone calls from the rest of his family. ��Thanks so much for all their support. ��It is times like this when I realize how important friends and family are to me.
