Happy Birthday Dad !!

I know I'm a couple of days late but I just wanted to tell my Dad how much I love him. He is such an awesome Dad and Grandpa. Thank you for all your love, support, advice, listening to me, being such a wonderful Dad and Grandpa, and all the other stuff you do for me. I love you so much and couldn't ask for a better Daddy.
Happy Birthday Daddy. I hope you had a great day. I Love You !!

Carving Pumpkins

Last night we carved pumpkins for FHE. The boys thought it was pretty fun.

Cohen cleaning out his pumpkin. He wasn't quite sure about all that slimy stuff.

Getting a handful of seeds and "cheese". That's what he kept calling it. Funny boy.

There was no way Hunter was going to stick his hand in that pumpkin and touch that stuff. This is a picture of him telling me to clean it out.

Luckily Dad came to the rescue and did it for him.

And then helped Cohen finish his.

Showing off my art skills. Hunter wanted a happy pumpkin. Good thing to because this is about the extent of my drawing abilities.

Cohen drawing the face he wants.

And Hunter's.

We had a fun time together and the boys enjoyed playing with their jack-o-lanterns.

Happy Anniversary Dad and Mom!!

Happy Anniversary!! We love you so very much. You are such a great example to us. Thank you for your love, support and advice. We can't wait to see you again. The boys are always asking when we get to see you next.


(sorry for the late post and I know I've posted this picture before but its the only one I have of you two together.)

Happy Birthday Grandma Betty!!

Happy birthday to a wonderful Grandma!! We love you very much and hope you had a wonderful day. We miss you and can't wait to see you again.

Happy Birthday Tyler!!!!

Today is my wonderful husbands birthday. He is such a good man. He works hard to provide for us. He is an awesome dad. The kids adore him and ask 20 times a day when he will be home from work. He is so supportive of me. He is the most patient man I know. We love him so very much. We are so blessed to have him as our husband and dad. And hope he has a great day. I love you, Honey! You are the best! Happy Birthday!

First Day of Pre-school

Cohen started his second year of pre-school today. He was very excited. So excited that he didn't even say bye. He just went straight in to play with his friends. He likes school and can't wait until he can go to big school.

My handsome little man.
He is growing up way to fast.

County Fair

Yesterday we went to our county fair. The kids enjoyed seeing all the animals. Their favorite was riding the ponies. They also got to hold tarantula spider. And they got to pet lots of animals. We had a fun time together.

Brianna having fun in the stroller.

Cohen on the horse.

Hunter on this little white horse. He wasn't sure what to think at first but when the horse started walking he loved it. Every time he pasted by me he would say "Look at me mom, I ride a horsey."

Now Hunters turn.

Showing off their spider stamps they got for holding the tarantula. I have some brave boys. I didn't want to touch it.

Look at the horns on this big 'ol thing.
(I can't remember what it is. Some kind of cow)

We love doing things as a family.

New Pictures

Here are some new pictures of my cute kids.
We sure do love them very much!

Spaghetti Night

This is what the boys end up looking like when we have spaghetti for dinner.

2 Months Old

Brianna is now 2 months old. She is growing like a weed. She now weighs 11 lbs 1 oz. and is in the 60% for her weight. And she is 23.3 inches long and in the 90% for her height. She is doing very well. She sleeps for about 6-7 hours at night. She loves her daddy very much. She smiles and coos for him all the time. She smiles for me some but not like she does for her dad. She is such a good baby. She hardly cries at all.

She is very sleepy today. Getting 5 immunizations in one day is rough.

It is very fun having a girl. I have already painted her toe nails.

Cute Baby!!

Brianna is now 6 weeks old. I can't believe how fast the time goes. She has just started smiling at people and it is so cute. We love our little "Baby Nanna" (as Hunter calls her).

I love her chubby little cheeks.

Tyler's new toy and Family Home Evening

Tyler is now the proud owner of this


He has wanted a four wheeler for a very long time. We have been saving for awhile and finally were able to get him one. He is very excited and he also can't wait for snow now because it has a snow plow also.

My three handsome men.


So for FHE we rode the four wheeler around and then when it got dark we did some fireworks. The favorite of the night was by far the sparklers. Cohen loved them. Hunter on the other hand didn't want anything to do with them.

Cohen showing off his sparkler.

This is how Hunter preferred to spend the evening. Sitting on his daddy

Brianna's Blessing Day

We had Brianna blessed on July 5th. Tyler did such a good job. He is an awesome dad. Brianna looked so cute. She is wearing the dress that I got blessed in. We had lots of family over and had a wonderful day.

She is such a cutie and a very good baby. It was my mom's idea to have her wear my dress and I'm so glad she thought of it.

We finally got a new family picture.
My kids are so cute.

I just love this picture. Hunter has recently become Grandpas little buddy. He is always asking where Grandpa is and if we can go see him. He loves his Grandpa very much.

Grandpa and Brianna relaxing.

And my cute boy Cohen. We didn't get a picture of him with Grandpa this time because he was to busy playing with cousins.

Just after everyone left there was a loud boom and the power went off. we were out of power for 5 hours. I'm glad it didn't happen sooner because it got very hot, very fast in the house without the swamp cooler going.

Other then that it was a good day. Thanks everyone for coming and spending the day with us.
