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. ��

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. ��

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.

Cancun Blast!!!

Mason and I have been in Cancun for the past week and have had a blast. We highly recommend this trip and want to come back with our kids. The food has been excellent. We went sky riding, zip lining, and on a boat that spins super fast called the aqua spinner. We have had non stop fun. The only problem is Mason lost our camera and now we have no cute pictures to show for it. This was a well needed trip. I have enjoyed every minute with Mason. We went sailing last night on a pirate ship and danced the night away. Reality is hitting in real fast home sweet home tomorrow!! We are very excited to see our sweet children. We missed you guys
