HE GRADUATED

yup you heard it right. Clayton just graduated from pre-school and is super excited about going to kindergarten(all day). We meet with his teacher tomorow.. He can't wait for summer to go camping and swimming and for it all to be over and be in Kindergarten. He is so ready.. He was sitting today working in a kindergaren work book I had gotten for him. Whe I asked what he was doing he replied " I have to get through the whole alphabet before school starts"... I love this boy and am sad that he will be leaving me for the whole day, guess I better get in some snuggle time before school starts..

Joe turns 33!!!

Yesterday My amazing husband turned 33.. We had a busy day and did an us only party that was slid in between soccer and bedtime.. I didn't get any pictures of him opening presents or eating cake so older pictures will have to do.. We are so blessed to have him in our lives he is an amazing husband and father.. I will add more pictures later this is the only one that would upload having issues..

Sorry it took so long every time I tried to upload the pictures it would freeze the Internet.. Crystal Turned 8 on the 22nd and was baptised by Joe on the 27th. My sister made Crystals cake for after her baptism. It has her favorite scripture on written on it.. I made her Birthday cake and she loved them both.. We are so proud of Crystal and her choices she makes..

Crystal turns 8 :)

Crystal turns 8 today. This is a day she has been so excited for.. She will be baptised on Sunday and get to go to Activity girls tomorrow.. She is SO excited to be 8. She is such a wonderful girl. She loves helping and playing with her brothers. She is "moms twin". She loves school and church and learning.. She is so sweet hearted and loves everyone she meets instantly.. She is my love.... Happy Birthday little girl...

We have been really busy.. Christmas was great.. Went to the mountains and got our tree and realized how diminished my strength is when I tried to help Joe life the tree on to the suburban and was unable to lift it very far..I am hoping I am doing better I am taking all the vitamins that have been prescribed by my Dr. Joe and Clayton took a boys week and went to SLC to see Connie graduate from nursing school.. They had a great time and Clayton asked Connie after her graduation if she had "won".. It is great to have them home.. Crystal is being baptised this month and she can hardly contain her excitement.. During the Christmas parade the kids were interviewed by the College TV channel, then were so excited to watch themselves on TV.. It will be another busy month and looking forward to some spring weather and a chance to get some flowers growing.. I love flowers...

Halloween

This was our Halloween. Clayton and James were Cow

boys and Crystal was a Chef.

Fall

This year I decided to take the kids school pictures. James got hold of a green marker right before we left so he hasn't had his pictures done yet..

Enjoying a fall day..

He is starting to do some FUNNY faces. Makes me laugh every time... James is a little messy with his black licorice..

James is in LOVE with his new baby cousins.. He always wants to hold them. He even found a bottle and was feeding one of the babies when no one was looking..

10th Anniversary!!!

We just celebrated out 10th wedding anniversary. We have had a great 10 years..

July/August/September

So it has been a while since I posted.. We had a great summer.. We were gone almost as much as we were home.. We went to Utah in July for 10 days.. While there we went to To both Mom and Dad's family reunions.. Mom,Dad,Lin, Todd, Crystal and I all went to "The Sound of Music" musical while in Logan.. Crystal LOVED it.. We went to Mom's reunion and it was Grandma's 90th birthday party.. We had a great time... We went camping twice and had a great time.. The first time we went alone the second we went with our friends.. I love the mountain they are so beautiful.. We just got back from SLC where we went for the triplets blessings.. The kids started school -Crystal second and Clayton is doing pre-school.. The kids and I went to Douglas in August to see my parents and help them out right before they left for their mission.. We had a great time, but miss them now that they are in Oklahoma.. We are so blessed with GREAT friends and family.. Have a great Fall..
