Two Monkeys Jumping on the bed

We were have a great day on Sunday, we got home from church and sent Karlee and Rodney to go play while we figured out what we were going to have for dinner. I have told the kids a million times that they are not allowed to jump on the bed but they still have, so we have compromised on bouncing on your knees. All of the sudden Matt and I heard a very loud boom and a scream, we both ran as fast as we could down to Rodneys room where he was at the foot of his bed laying flat on his tummy crying. I picked him up and took off his shirt and pants so I could look at him and see if he was ok. He was shaking so bad I could tell he definitely had the wind knocked out of him. I asked him what hurt and he said his arm. Matt looked at it and said it was definitely broken, it was red and had started to swell up really big we packed the kids and took him to the ER. They did some X-rays and said that he broke his arm in 2 places, I cried so hard I couldn't believe something was broken on my baby boy. He had a temporary cast put on and on Wednesday we went back to get the real one. He picked a blue cast and he was so brave.The Dr. said he will have to wear it for 6 wks. I feel so bad because he cant even bend his elbow and its his right arm. Rodney you were so brave and strong, we are so proud of you!

Ballerina Girl

Karlee started ballet last month at The Utah Dance Center. This is her 3rd year doing dance and she loves it. The first 1/2 of class they do tap and then the last 1/2 they do ballet. Her teacher is amazing they come our shaking maracas, dance with teddy bears, leap over cones and much much more. I am so glad that we found this place she is so happy dancing and she is really great at it. She sure makes a beautiful ballerina.

She was blessed to have a beautiful daughter, Whitney, and she is hoping that through the blessing of invetro she will be able to have another bundle of joy one day.


This picture is kinda old but it was the only one I could find.

My new look

I think Matt thought I was crazy to post this, but I thought it was funny. I let the kids do my hair and make-up. They had so much fun. At first Karlee said I was so beautiful and then she said I was scary for Halloween. I kept it on and when Matt walked in the door his face was priceless! The kids were so excited to show of there work of art. I actually hadn't had time to shower so at 5:30 I went and washed it all off. I really want my kids to look back on there childhood and remember there mom being fun! Here is proof!

Pajama Day

I love Emmalou's hair!


She is such a cutie!



I love my kids so much, they make me so happy. They are honestly the best form of entertainment. On Mondays I always do our laundry (all day), bills, clean the house, and ck up on my fellow bloggers. We usually make Mondays our pajama day! It is really funny cuz Karlee loves pajama day. The kids were amazing and actually helped me clean. I felt so bad because while Rodney was moping he slipped and fell flat on his back, poor little guy. But other than that it was a great day.

We have a walker!

We were so proud of her. As you can see she was very proud of herself also. I cant believe my baby is almost 1! What a sweet little girl she is. I am so grateful she is in our family.

I'm a Pirate

Rodney put on Karlees headband and said. "I'm a pirate." Matt and I were laughing so hard. He is such a funny little guy.

The world according to Karlee

Last week we had to run to the store to get some milk. When we got back into the car it was pouring. We started home and I saw a little old man walking home with 2 big sacks from the same grocery store we had just left. Usually I don't ever ask strangers if they need a ride but I felt so bad that he was getting soaked and his hands were full with his groceries I felt like it would be safe. I pulled over and asked him if he would like a ride. He politely said he lived close and he would be ok. So we started back to the house, Karlee said, "Mom why did you ask that man if he wanted a ride." I thought perfect teaching opportunity and I told her that is something that Jesus would do if he saw a little old man walking in the rain he would see if he needed a ride. She told me, "That is why Jesus is in Heaven" and asked her why and she said "because its raining."

Who's the boss

Last nite I was kindly reminding Karlee that she was not in charge. I told her that Mom and Dad were in charge. Rodney chimed in that he was in charge I told him also that he was not in charge and in the saddest voice he said, "I'm not in charge?" No sorry Rodney you are not it charge. It was really funny. I let him know when he was a dad he could be in charge and he was very happy with that.

The Heber Creeper

All aboard!!!!!!!!!! We took the kids on Saturday to ride the Heber Creeper and they had so much fun. It was pretty spendy but we haven't done anything big this whole summer and with it being our anniversary this last week this is what we decided to do. None of us had ever done it before so we really enjoyed it.

Our Cute Little Family

Well we haven't had any family pictures taken since Karlee was a baby so we were in need of some new ones. My amazing friend Kellie came up from St. George to take the photos and I cant thank her enough. The pictures are amazing! Thanks Kellie your the best.

Emilys first tooth

Vampire teeth!

Silly teeth

The real one! Actually Emily got her first tooth about 3 weeks ago but I have been waiting for it to get closer to Halloween to take these pictures. I cant believe how fast my baby is growing up, I love her so much. She actually has her second tooth coming in to but its hard to see in this picture.

A Day at the Farm

My kids are definitely not country kids. Grandmas cousin told Karlee she should pick up a grasshopper and when it jumped she screamed. It was funny. We had a great time seeing the horses, cows, and baby ducks. The kids got to sit on a tractor and when it was time to get down Rodney cried and cried. He sure loved it. They also got to go on a tire swing and jump on the trampoline it was so much fun to be out doors. I didn't go prepared cuz the mosquito's got us all pretty good. Poor Karlee got it the worse. This is the first time shes been bit and i think she had a little reaction because her leg was really red and swollen.

Going Bowling

We took the kids bowling and Rodney was the first one to break 100! I forgot to write down the final score but Hot Rod won, then Big Daddy, followed by Baby K, with Big Mama losing. Pretty sad that even when I tried to use the little tool you put your ball on and it rolls straight down I still managed to get a gutter ball. While we were waiting for our lane Karlee and Grandma played a game of air hockey with gma winning 3-2. It was a close game!

It's my Birthday!

It's my Birthday! I can't believe I am 28! Crazy how fast this whole year has gone. I love Birthdays and I love to celebrate. This birthday was really fun Matt is so romantic and creative I love that about him. He got me some candy, card stock (which I really really wanted), socks, and the best of all I got sent to a salon to have my hair cut, make-up done, and a pedicure. It was amazing. I have never been pampered like that and I loved every minute of it. Thank you to my wonderful friend Candice for watching my kiddos that was an awesome gift, to my awesome sister I loved that book I cried it was so good, and my mother inlaw for the makeup and fun money I promise I used it for me:) Also when I picked up the kids they sang to me and had flowers for me. I love my family thank you for making this an amazing birthday and for making me feel so special.
