So we had such a fun Memorial Day weekend. Ry took Friday off and he got Monday off too so we had a lot of fun together. We almost went to St. George but decided to stay home and find fun things to do around town. We had fires in are backyard fire pit. Went on so many bike rides and walks. We ate out way too much and had so many treats. They played baseball and even went to pet baby animals. The little guy liked it a lot more than sister, but she had fun too. As these pictures show, the kids loved having their dad all to themselves. I loved having him around too. I really have been trying to create great experiences for my children and for Ry and I because life is just to short. Ryan lost his grandpa to cancer a few weeks ago. We visited with him down in St. George just last month and he told us all sorts of great stories about his life. It makes you think about how short life really is. So live, laugh, and love every day.

STATE CUP CHAMPS

go sparta

I just had to do this post because I am so proud of my little sister. Her soccer team just won State Cup for the 15 year old girl premier league. For those of you that don't know anything about soccer like me. It means that they are the best of the best 15 year old girls in the state right now. I have to say it was a exciting moment for me as I watched her get the last save of the game and lay on the ball as the whistle blew . She is the goal keeper. Let me just do a little big sister bragging for a sec. Not only did they win sate cup but she had the least goals scored on her all year. That is all I have to say about that.

Cooper says the funniest things ever. I had to write this one down before I forgot it. So we were going to my little sisters state cup soccer game. I asked him to get his shoes on. He told me he should wear his soccer shoes because we would be at a soccer game. I said it was a great idea. Then the funny stuff started. He told me that he should no longer wear his sneakers because they make him sneak and sneaking is bad. He said get it mom sneak...ers. This story is way better in person but I had to put it out there for all to hear though. The way little kids brains work is just the best.

She learned to stand up in her crib. Two days after she turned 8 months. She is such a great baby.

Ryan's birthday gift. He has wanted one forever. A double bike trailer for the girls will be great this summer. It is also a jogger which will be nice for me.

I really never post pictures of me because of 2 reasons. The first no one ever takes pictures of me and second my hair always gets half done and ten someone needs me. As you can see in this rare picture.

Side note I love aprons. I live in them.

Husband

Ryan

Daddy

Happy Birthday 28Th Birthday

So my sweetest husbands birthday was yesterday. I would have posted yesterday but you know how life is. I don't want to miss the opportunity to write a little about him however, so here it is. I always update on my kidos but not him. Ryan is the best dad ever. I know this because of the way my kids light up when they see him pull into the drive way after a long day of work. He is so hard working. He works to jobs and still comes home happy and ready to give all of us love and attention. He is an accountant and a tennis pro. What a combo right? he is smart and funny and might I add he is HOT! Lucky me. This world is a better place because of my wonderful husband.He is always trying to improve himself and are family. We all love you Honey. I could go on and on but I will just say one last thing. Ryan rocks.

The Baby Face
She loves getting her picture taken.

Wanted to join her little sister in her crib. She just learned to climb in by her self. This could be dangerous. They love each other so much. the baby gets a little nervous sometimes when her big sisters hands get close.

This little girl will melt your heart and make you want t o rip your hair out in a span of 5 minutes. She makes me smile and laugh so much. I just want to squish her and kiss her. My little Houdini. WOW I love her.

I can't believe how big he is. My little man really is becoming such a funny little kid. He will always be my baby boy though. I know cheese right?

These three kids are the center of my world. my whole life revolves around them and their daddy. I am loving it so much. It is a crazy life and I"m loving every minute of it. Well almost.

I know that all stages of life have there rewards but there is something about the first few years of being a parent that seem special. I have almost been a mom for 4 years. What happens to time? My little man is just not that little anymore. However he is learning to do so many new things. He just learned to ride a bike(with training wheel). He loves it. Picked it out himself. He loves to play with all of his cousins and his little sisters. He loves his mommy so much right now especially when he gets tired. I have just been eating it up because I know I don't have much longer before he won't want to snuggle me anymore. He is just so much fun! I know all parents think their kids are smart and I am one of them. My little guy has the best memory, and he has a very large vocabulary. I really am just so lucky to be his mom.

So my goal of posting every week has not worked out but not form a lack of trying. My computer or my account does not let me log in sometimes. No matter how many times I try it just wont let me log in. Does anyone else have that problem? To catch up with are family would be a good laugh for all I would be typing for way to long so I will just put up a few of my favorite things the kids have said lately.
My little guys quotes: "Why did Jesus make bad guys? I don't think that was very nice of him. I'm not happy with Jesus for doing that." He said this while we where reading his scriptures and they had pictures of people fighting with bows and arrows.
"Mom you are the prettiest and Dad is the coolest."
"What the heck are you whining about now" He said this to his little sister. He says what the heck so much.
"I already told you 4 times." He says this about everything he asks for. Wonder where he gets that.
"Mom if you get me a treat I will eat it." Like he's doing me a favor. He says so many funny things I could type all day.
Little Rosie is saying the funniest things. The thing that makes them so funny is the attitude she gives while she says them. "Hold me too.", "Shoes Please.", "NO!!!.", "Love you Mommy and Daddy.", "Rosie is me." she points to her self. She says a lot of stuff now but I can't write them all.
The little baby cakes cant talk so I will just tell you about her. She had her six month appointment last week. She has exceeded all the milestones and she weighs 17 pounds 13 oz. that is the 80Th percent. She is in the 90Th percentile for height and head. She sits up and can push herself all over the place. She laughs all the time and smiles so much. She is a happy baby. Lucky me!
I just feel so Blessed by my life right now. I have my 3 happy healthy kids and a very loving husband who works so hard and provides such an great life for me and the kids. I could not ever ask for more. I really do LOVE MY LIFE.
