Walk for Cystic Fibrosis

Last year Matt, Karlee and Rodney did a 5K for Cystic Fibrosis. I couldn't go cuz of problems I was having with my pregnancy. But this year we all got to go as a family. It was a really Great experience. Only 6 other people from Matts work showed up, but hundreds showed up from all over.

I was so grateful for the people that we walked with. Emily made it about a mile and then she was done. Matt and I took turns having her on our shoulders and back but she was getting really tired and was getting emotional the last bit. Then Rodney tripped about half way through. He said he was fine but I was pushing Mason up hill in a stroller and pulling Rodney while Matt carried Emily. I got to the point where I was like I don't think I can keep pushing with one hand and pulling (60lbs) with the other and finish this. We got to a point where we could of taken a short cut and finished early. But I felt like we started this and we were going to finish it, even if me and the kids were going to finish crying. But one of Matts Amazing co-workers had been carrying his son and offered to let us use his stroller and it seriously saved the day! Rodney went in the stroller and I put Emily on top of our stroller and pushed her and Mason and we were able to finish. Karlee did so good! She didn't even get upset when they ran out of Popsicles before we got there.

I was so proud of the kids and so glad that we could do this as a family. Last year Matt had to have Karlee and Rodney take turns in the stroller. So we were doing good to have one kid walk the whole way. :) Next yr I will try and borrow a double stroller from someone. We have a little family that we love and there 2 daughters have Cystic Fibrosis and I told the kids at the beginning we are walking for them, cuz we love them.

My silly kids before the walk

Mason turns 5months old and gets his first haircut

Happy 5 months old Mason! Wow I never thought I would have a baby get a haircut this little. When we got there the lady said does he want a movie and I said no thanks. Then she said ok why don't we have him sit here. I laughed and said he is 5 months old today he cant sit. She was like, Oh my gosh I thought he was older with all that hair. Nope hes a tiny baby. :)

Before the hair cut

I was trying to show how long it was but he was wiggly.

My baby, getting his first haircut. I cant believe it!

I kept saying, not too much. I was so worried!

This is his after picture. He looks so cute! I was happy with his haircut. The girls got there haircut too but this was his Big Day! I cant believe you are 5 months old. Mason we love you so much. You are such a happy little dude. We are so blessed to have you in our family.

What a Stud!

Rodneys 5!

Rodney when he was born

Ohhhhh my baby boy!

10 days old

what a cutie 10mths old

Wow they grow up so fast. It feels like yesterday we were in San Francisco and I found out I was pregnant with Rodney and we decided to move back to Utah and now he is 5 years old and ready to be a Big Kindergartner! Wow I don't know if its the baby pictures or Barry Manilow playing or both making me ball. Hahaha

His Birthday was pretty crazy. His last day of preschool was on his bday so I had "Rodney Donuts" made to take to his friends. He was sad to say goodbye to his friends but excited that we are going to be moving into a House! We had his bday party about 2weeks late cuz we were in the middle of moving and we wanted to wait until my parents were up so we could celebrate with them. On his bday he got hit in the stomach and a big scratch on his face and then the day of his Birthday party I took him to the Dr. I knew he had an eye infection, and he did but he also had step throat. Poor little guy, this was a rough birthday. But of course he was super excited that his bday was finally here and we were going to have his Yoda Birthday.

I was so proud Happy with the cake. I did the body and Matt of course did the face. There was no way I was going to try and do that. So we made a Great team! I added cupcakes at the last minute that said, "Happy Birthday You Must." When our family got here I said to my dad, "did you see what the cupcakes said?" He went to look and my sister read "Stephanie is pregnant." My mom was so excited and freaked out, I said, "I'm sorry but we will never have cupcakes that say that, again, we are done." Hahahaha great joke Andra!

Rodney is such a sweet boy. He has such a kind heart. He is always complimenting me and the girls. For a long time he was answering me saying, ok beautiful lady. I thought it was cute and sweet but I said you don't need to say that just call me mama. He is very affectionate and ticklish. He is so tender and is very protective of "his girls." He loves karate, cookie dough bites and riding his bike. Rodney we love you so much. You are a wonderful blessing to our family!

Our little Birthday boy. Sorry buddy you got a haircut the next day :)

Make a Wish!

Lets get this party started!

May the force be with you always

Thanks Matt for helping me with my Crazy ideas!

Best Yoda Cake Ever!

Rodney I hope you loved your Birthday!

Mothers Day 2011

Mothers Day was nice. I woke up to this yummy breakfast that Matt made me. Then later that day my Grandma and Papa Bro, Tom, Jentry and Kirsten came over and all the boys made us spaghetti and cake supreme. It was fun to have everyone over. Also the day before we had a BBQ at my sisters house with my parents. It was fun to get to see both of our moms for Mothers Day. Hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers day. Sorry I didn't get more pictures.
