Spiderman's B-day Party

Well it has only taken me 3 months to post again, but I think that is pretty reasonable considering my hectic summer. I feel like we haven't even been home, so I was glad when school started so that we were required to stay home! So, even though I haven't posted it, we really did have a fun and eventful summer!

For Conner's birthday he wanted to have a Spiderman party. So after much thought, I think we had a pretty good time! We started by coloring a Spiderman picture.


After that the kids wore their Spiderman masks and tried to shoot silly string at a picture of Spiderman. Even Tianna joined in the fun!


Next we made a craft project that a 5 year old could do! We made spider webs out of black or pink yarn and glued them onto paper. Then they cut out a picture of Spiderman and glued that wherever they wanted.


Next they threw water balloons at a large sheet that I had made a web on out of electrical tape.



After that they played Spiderman, Spiderman, Goblin for a few rounds and than we had cake and ice cream.



We then opened presents and then played on a large inflatable jump toy that I borrowed from a friend. They had a lot more fun when they took turns then when it was a free for all! Boys play a little rougher than girls! So we set up an obstacle course they each completed. We passed out the goody bags and sent everyone home! All in all, I think it was a success! now I have atleast 2 more months until the next Birthday party! Once I get a chance I will post Kylee's B-day party, it was a lot of fun also!

It's Official

It's official, t-ball and ponytail ball has begun! I don't know what I was thinking when I signed 2 kids up! Now we have 2 games every Tues. and one game Wed. and one game on Thurs.! That is a lot for me! I try to have as little going on as I can get away with. The kids really love it though- especially Conner! I think he is sick of always watching Kylee as she does her activities and it is finally his turn to get the treat! That's really what it boils down to- the treat afterwards!

It was so cute- everytime Conner was concentrating hard he would stick out his tongue!

First Official Photo Shoot

This was my first official photo shoot with my new fancy camera! It was a lot of fun, but I can tell I need a lot more practice. It was nice of my friend Heather to come along to give pointers and moral support!






I feel sort of bad though, Kylee was at school so she was neglected for this shoot. I told her that as soon as school is out we could go do one with her- life is just too crazy right now to try to fit one in on a school day!

Going, going, gone

Conner learned how to ride his bike without training wheels! He just decided he could and did it! After a while he started showing off, hopefully I can convince him to wear a helmet now.

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's day and I hope all of you guys did also. We went to part of our own sacrament so that we could hear Kylee and Conner sing me a song. We left early so that we could make it to Ben's parents Sacrament in time to hear his mom speak. She did a great job and I am glad we were able to make it. Afterwards we went to their house for lunch and just to hang out. The kids had a blast playing and being with Grandma and Grandpa.

I'm so thankful for my wonderful children and the opportunity to be their mom. They teach me so much and bring me so much joy. I am very lucky and count my blessings daily. I am honored to be entrusted with some of Heavenly Fathers dearest children and pray that I can help them live up to their fullest potential.


I hope you all had a great Mothers Day also and that your kids were extra nice to you!

Mini Mommy

Tianna has really enjoyed being a new big sister. Although, I think she thinks she is more of a mom! She has carried around her doll "Tracey" ever since Braxton came home and has copied me anytime I do anything with Braxton. It is very cute! Makes sure I am on my best behavior also!

Ready to go!

All tuckered out from a long day caring for an infant!

I love all of my kids so much. Tianna is at such a cute age and I will cherish these memories, when else in her life will she be so willing to "help" without me even asking! She brings me so much joy and I can't imagine our lives without her.
