Our Crazy Girl!

Looks like she is feeling better!:)

Brelyn was the sickest of my three so she actually had to go to the doctors on my birthday.:( Once she was there the doctor try to get her to take a deep breath but she wouldn't do it..she tried to get her to blow out but she wouldn't..Mike said Brelyn sat there as cute as could be but wouldn't do anything the doctor asked..silly girl!!;)

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, I don't have a lot of pictures from my birthday..I spent the day taking care of three sick kids.:(  My three oldest kiddos have been sick almost all week so we have been having a lazy week hanging out in our pjs. Mike did make me breakfast and brought me home a yummy salad for lunch and pizza for dinner.:) I got cards and gifts from family and friends and love from my kiddos.:)

 

Brielle was my only well kiddo on my birthday.:)

 

 

 So well that it didn't take her long to find my candy.;)

I love that face!!

This is my very favorite face!!! She wrinkles her nose and puckers her lips and I love it every time!:)

Temple Walk

This past weekend our young women participated in a walk to the temple. We left around 6:30 in the morning and walked a little over 18 miles and arrived at the temple around 1:30pm. It was such a fun experience to be a part of.:) Before we left our bishop spoke to us about those in the scriptures who had to take a journey and why. Often it was to go and find a better place so that they could worship God and find peace. He encouraged us to think of what things we need to leave behind in our lives so that we can become closer to God. I couldn't help but think about how there was no way I could've made that walk alone..it made me think of my life and how grateful I am that I don\'t have to make my journey alone. I am so grateful for my family and friends. I am so grateful for the temple.:) It was a special day!:) And just incase you were wondering..I couldn't even crawl upstairs when I got home!:/ I am doing much better now though.:)






  My cheering section!;)

The splits!

Ena has been taking ballet and has been practicing her splits..she is getting really good! I am so proud of her.:)

Swinging

Brelyn\'s favorite thing to do lately is swing on our swing set. She would swing for hours if I would push her:)

Hockey

We got free tickets to the local Hockey game so Mike took the oldest two to watch the game. They had a lot of fun spending time with their dad.:)

My sweet Ena

So the other night I noticed Ena sweeping and wiping off the table..I asked her what she was doing and she said she was making a restaurant.:) She made a menu and even had candle light.:) She is one sweet girl.:)

The Zoo!

We went to the zoo with our good friends! It was the perfect day! The weather was so nice and all the animals were out roaming! It was such a fun day..I think our favorite were the gorillas but I didn\'t get a pic.:( We also loved the otters..they were very itchy so they put on quite a show rolling around.:)

my cute mess;)

Library

We\'ve been spending our Wednesday at the library. The girls enjoy story time..even though you wouldn\'t know it. Brelyn sits right next to me and won\'t participate at all but the whole way there and the whole way home she can\'t stop talking about the library.:) She is a funny, shy little girl.;)

Bradley and Ena

They just looked too cute not to take a picture.;)

Piano

Bradley has been taking piano for awhile now..and getting better and better. I love watching my kids learn new things and grow.:)

B

The other day Brelyn and I went to pick up the big kids from school. On our way we stopped at Sonic and once we got there, since we had some time to wait, I let her sit in the front with me.:) She was sooo happy!;)

My Girls

I love my girls! I had taken Bradley to scouts and when we got home I was thinking..I\'ve got such cute girls so I decided to take a couple of pictures.:) They are growing too fast! I am so happy they are mine!:)
 

Before and After

So Mike and I started a diet earlier this year and both worked really hard and lost weight.:) I was looking at my sister\\\'s blog from back in December of last year and saw a picture of me.:/ I don\\\'t have a ton of full body pictures of me from before so when I saw that picture I decided to put on the same sweater and get a before and after picture of me. Here is what I got..

Sisters

Baby Lily

My cousin, Adam and his wife Shamberly came for a quick visit. I was so excited to meet their sweet baby Lily!! It was a nice visit and I loved holding Lily!:) The little girls loved Lily, too. They wanted to be right next to her.:)
