Swiss Days Parade

This is our Anytime Fitness crew. We were in the swiss days parade last weekend and the kids had so much fun throwing candy... I know, I know... Anytime Fitness and Candy??? We got that a lot but we wanted to get our kids involved and that's what they wanted to do, besides eating the candy is what brings the people in right...they gotta work it off! The family in this picture is the ones who bought our old business partner Steve out and I am so grateful they did. They are so much fun and we get along so well so the partnership meshes really good.

Tayler's HOLE-Y mouth

Tayler lost 2 teeth in two days and has 2 more that are loose....the toothfairy is going to go broke on this kid. These fell out the day before picture day at school and she was so excited. Tayler told me that this is how she smiled for the picture so it oughta be good. I can't believe how fast she is growing...my big first grader that talks as though she is in high school already, boy do we have our hands full but we sure do love our miss Tayler!!!

GRATEFUL!

Today I am reflecting on how blessed I am! I had a scary experience happen and am feeling so lucky it wasn't worse then it was. Naomi wanted to watch a movie a couple days ago and I told her that if she helped me put her laundry away that she could watch whatever movie she wanted. I was in the Living Room seperating piles of stuff she could put away. First she put shorts and skirts in the bottom drawer of her dresser and then I handed her some socks and panties for Tayler's top drawer. I don't know how many times I have told her not to step in that bottom drawer because the dresser could tip over. We had this big Turtle tank on top of there dresser.... "had"! I all of the sudden heard this CRASH and I knew that it wasn't good. I run in there and the tank is in a billion pieces, clothes everywhere. Naomi's hair is dripping from all the water...I asked her if she was ok and of course at this point she is only screaming, I pulled the dresser back up and looked over at Naomi and the only thing I could see was BLOOD splattered all of the wall and onto the carpet. I grab her and put her in the bath and stripped down all her clothes so I could find out where she was bleeding only to find that it was just her finger. She split it pretty good, not enough to need stitches but plenty of blood. I don't know how she did not get crushed by the dresser and the tank, for her to be standing in that drawer and having it come over...I have no idea how she got so lucky!

So besides a HUGE mess and $75 worth of carpet cleaning I am feeling so blessed my little girl came out of that ok. I didn't even take a picture because I think I was in shock, I wish I would of because Rodger didn't even see it. As for our turtles, they are still alive and kicking. I found one under a drawer and the other under a rock and they are both fine....I don't know how that happened either.

I am truly blessed and grateful for my husband and kids and for the ability to face everyday challenges knowing that I have my savior by my side!

Camden

I can't believe our little guy is almost 4 months already, he is growing so fast. Right now he is smiling all the time, almost rolling over (so close) and he likes to make noises with his lips and cheeks. We were looking at pictures of our girls when they were this age and all of our babies look the exact same...it's crazy! I will have to post pictures of the kids all at this age next time. Camden has so much personality already and I'm excited to see what he will do next. We Love "BABY CAMDEN" !

THE FAIR

We skipped out on the fair last year because neither of us wanted to go, Tayler was UPSET so we heard about it for a year, so we knew we couldn't miss out on it this year. The girls had a blast! They got there faces painted, snow cones, etc. It's so fun to see smiles on our girls faces....Pure Enjoyment!!!

Tayler's first day of 1st Grade

I can't believe Tayler is in 1st grade....she looks so grown up! Now that she is gone all day long I am trying to figure out how to keep Naomi busy on the days she doesn't have school, the poor girl lost her friend. Tayler was really excited and has already made some new friends. I worried about her where as we moved into our new house and started her in a new school away from all of her friends, but she is adjusting really well. We are so proud of her and love her so much. Good Job Tayler!!!

Updated!

I just did 6 posts in one morning, I am feeling pretty proud of myself and I am all caught up. The posts are out of order but there all on there and that's all that matters. Now hopefully I don't wait another 3 months before I post again!!!

Our 3 beautiful, healthy kids!!!

These pictures were taken a while ago and I never posted them....these are only a few of my favorites but my friend Natasha did an awesome job as usual!!!

Naomi's 4

I can't belive she is 4, she has grown so fast. I have got these posts all jumbled up. I have waited so long to update that I have got my newer stuff toward the bottom...Oh well, as long as there on here somewhere. Naomi got all sorts of fun toys and a piniata. My dad's birthday is the day after her's so we celebrated them together. Such a cute, fun Kid...love you Nomers!!!

Camden's blessing

We have recen'ty moved into a new house so we didn't bless Camden until he was 2 1/2 months old. We debated whether to bless him in our old ward but figured we may as well do it in our new one. Rodger's family came from Washington and honestly this was a day I don't think I will ever forget.
During sacrament Camden was screaming so I left during the opening prayer thinking that they will do the blessing after the sacrament was blessed and passed so I had plenty of time to take him out and feed him. I was in the Mother's lounge when my friend Lyndsey came in and said they were looking for the baby. How Humiliating!!!! I walk in and of course everyone is looking at me which I hate and I was so nervous that I couldn't write down the blessing. The weird thing is, is that I had a dream the night before that we had slept in and missed the blessing which if you think about it almost happened, so that was eventful.
After the blessing we came back to our house and had a luncheon with my family and Rodger's. My little sister has epilepsy and has started blacking out a lot and just falling to the ground. She had gotten a ride with my brother and his wife and was walking to the door when they heard a SMACK on the concrete...Mindy had fallen flat on her face and was gushing blood everywhere. The cement was covered...it looked like a gory movie and we had no idea where the blood was coming from so we grabbed wet towels and started cleaning her face to find out that she had only split open her chin...boy was she lucky. Mindy had to get 13 stiches and broke a couple of teeth but was very lucky it wasn't worse. Anyway, that pretty much sums up the blessing day...we are so grateful Camden has joined our family and that my sister is ok!!!
