My Birthday

My birthday was April 8th. It was turning out to not be a very good day. When Carson got home he surprised me with a chocolate birthday cake (candles and all) and some ice cream! He also had bought me the books I have been asking for (the Twilight series)! It was so sweet. To top it all off he asked Kacie if she would watch the kids for us while he took me to Olive Garden. It turned out to be a pretty good birthday because of my sweet husband! I couldn't ask for anything more!

Cole is 5!!!

Cole is sooo excited to finally be 5! He has waited for so long! His birthday was on March 26 but we had his birthday party on the 29. This year he wanted his party to be at Sand Hallow Aquatic Center, so that's what we did. All the kids loved it. Ellie loved the water and didn't want to get out, but she would not go down the slides. Cole however loved the water slide and wouldn't stop going down it. If we wondered where Cole was we just looked to the top of the slide and sure enough he was waiting in line. Half the time he was waiting in line and going down by himself, he didn't care if anyone didn't want to go with him, he was going!!
I can't believe Cole is already 5 and he is going to be going to kindergarten this year! It makes me kind of sad, but I guess they have to grow up. He already talks about turning 16 so he can drive!!!! Scary thought!!

Baby Bump!

Eight weeks, Twelve weeks, & Sixteen weeks


We are so excited to finally have another baby in our house! I am due September 13, right in the middle of summer (in St. George)!!!! It is going to be a long hot summer but well worth it. We have decided to not find out what the sex of this baby is since we already have a boy and girl! It will be fun waiting and wondering what it is! Cole and Ellie are both so excited, but they just don't understand why they have to wait so long to bring the baby home! I have just started feeling the baby move the last couple of days so it really seems real to me now! I can't wait to hold my sweet baby!

Easter 2008

Easter this year was so much fun! The kids loved every minute of it. We went to Fredonia on Friday. On Saturday my cousin got married. After that my whole family went to the rest home to celebrate my Great Gran's 100th birthday!! She has a hard time getting enough air to talk but she remembers almost everyone. She loved Ellie but couldn't say much to her, so Ellie just stared at her the whole time. It was really cute! On Sunday morning the kids all looked for Easter eggs and baskets. The family had an Easter Breakfast together. After words we talked about the true meaning of Easter. It was such a great weekend!

Over Easter weekend, poor Ellie got her first black eye! She was riding with Cole in a power wheels jeep and he stopped to fast and she flew up and hit the windshield bar. She was a tough girl and didn't cry for very long. The funniest thing is that now that she is all better all she wants is to have another black eye! I guess she liked all the attention of getting her picture taken every day!
