Funny Friday

Conversation between Steph and the kids last night as we get ready to go out for a couple hours:

Steph - "Ok, while the babysitter is here, there will be no fighting and..."

Mason (quoting Despicable Me) - " you will not cry, or sneeze or barf or fart!"

Thank you Mason.

What has Mason been doing?

Photo Bomb

Mason Davis giving Little Mason his first Photo Bomb  LOL

Mason kissing his new cousin Walter

"But I need more chocolate Mommy"

Masons Owie

I told Mason I was going to make him into a soup and he didn't believe me!

Oh Mason you are such a ham! You love to "photo bomb" pictures you find great joy in jumping in a picture and yelling, "Photo Bomb!" You love all your sibling so much but since you spend so much time with Emily (MeMe) you 2 are especially close. I know you will miss her so much when she is in school next year. This year you got potty trained, you sleep in a big boy bed and this fall you will start preschool. YOU are my baby and you are growing up too fast for my mommy heart.

You are such a strong boy. You always want to wrestle with someone. Rodney was tossing a ball at you and you were blocking it with your Thor shield and Rodney accidentally tossed it so hard that the shield hit you in the forehead. You were bleeding so bad, it scared me so much. I was so happy you didn't need stitches! You got to go meet your new cousin Walter and you sure loved holding him. I am not sure why I love taking pictures of you sleeping so much, but I do. You are such a sweet boy, I love you so much. :)

What has Emily been up to?

Well next week is Emily's last day in Kindergarten. I am so sad to think about her being in school for the whole day. I love picking her up from the bus and having her eat lunch with Mason and I. She is such a ham, we will miss her when she is in school all day. 

When I signed up Emily for dance last year I thought she was going to be doing ballet, well she was in tumbling and she loved it. It was a happy accident. She has really loved learning how to do a cartwheel and different dance moves. Last week Emily finally lost both of her top teeth. They had been wiggly forever. Emily did not like her Graduation photo but I think she is so cute so I posted it anyway :)

What has Rodney been up to?

Well Rodney officially learned how to ride his bike!! It took so long because its hard to learn how to ride when you have had a cast 3 times and your foot in a boot! He was so happy to have no broken bones (knock on wood) and was finally able to learn. He also started scouts which he loves so much!! He is just finishing up 2nd grade and he loves learning Spanish at school! Oh and last week Rodney had his first Jr.Jazz Basketball game and he scored 3 points!! We were so proud of him!

What has Karlee been up to?

 Actor Stefania Barr ( and in the Band Shrink the Giant) and Actress Caitlin Meyer

Whip Brawler

Terrestrial-Short film

Karlee and her friend get taken in this film

These pictures are from a short film called Days of Z. She got to wear her first contact. She looked so creepy! It was fun for her to get to do this film with her friend Suze.

Karlee was excited to have her picture in the paper. It was talking about the film she was on set for 9 days. Its about the Wyoming Cokeville Bombing that happened in 1986.

She got to meet Michelle King

She met a lot of new friends and got to work with some acting friends she already knew

The Amazing talented T.C Christensen. It has been a dream of Karlees to work with this director. He also did 17 Miracles and Ephraim's Rescue. 

With the talented actor/producer Paul Hunt

You are so hilarious. You and Skyler were literally making me laugh so hard I had tears rolling down my face!

New Headshots done by Marc Reynolds!

Karlee you are a Busy girl! It impresses me so much how you are always reaching for the stars. The other day someone was asking you about how you got involved in acting and I loved your response. You said, "some kids are good at soccer or dance, I am horrible at soccer I just love acting." You are really good at acting to Karlee.

The last few months seem like they have been a dream. You got to see a film you did called Whip Brawler, you took an Amazing class with 2 very talented actors there, Stefania and Caitlin, you did a short film called Terrestrial where you had some lines in it, you got to be an extra for 9days in T.C Christensens new film Cokeville Miracles (working title) which has been a dream of yours to work with him, you got new headshots with the very talented Marc Reynolds, you had a picture of you in the newspaper and it showed a few glimpse of you on the news. Oh and you got to meet Michelle King, Grandma Bro is going to freak out!!

This last film was a really great opportunity for you to grow as an actress. It was super long days and never once did you complain. You were so happy to be in your element. There was one scene where the bad guy is screaming at the kids and several kids were crying, you were one of them. When the scene was over you said, "That was so intense and Awesome." It was your first time crying on scene I was so impressed with you for giving it all you had. You are an Amazing young lady, and I am so proud to be your mom.

I love my kids so much!

What a handsome guy!

Rodney with his dad and Papa's

So proud of my husband and son

On May 31, 2014 Rodney chose to be baptized. I was so proud of him for making this choice.  He is such a kind hearted and sweet boy. I am so proud to be his mother. He wanted to have a different cake than Karlee (hers was too girly) so we came up with making him a CTR shield and cupcakes with a chocolate 8 in them. It was really nice to have both of his Papas there to be witnesses for his baptism. Also I thought it was so sweet that you asked Karlee to play "When I am baptized" on the piano at your baptism. She was hesitant to do it because she wanted it to be your special day, but you told her that would make it special for you if she played it. I loved that you thought to include your sister, she taught herself how to play it and even though she told you she couldn't play it perfect you did not care, you were so happy she was willing to do it.

Rodney had had a really bad dream a few weeks before that really shook him up. He was convinced that he would not be alive to make it to his baptism date. This of course made me anxious for that day to be over but his dad had told him that Satan must really be trying to work on him to make him that scared. Needless to say he was baptized and is happy and healthy.

Rodney daddy and I are so proud of you! You are a wonderful young man and I know that the Lord has wonderful things for you to do in your life!
