My sleepy child!

I think I have one of the sweetest little boys out there. He loves to talk, play, hug, kiss, organize and aparently he likes to sleep! The first 2 pictures are of him sleeping through the fireworks on the 4th of July! Yeah, he slept through them ALL! The 3rd picture is seriously of him eating a french fry! I couldn't believe it. I think he just has so much energy all the time that he wears himself out at akward times! I sure do love him!

Meet my siblings.........

As I look through all of my blogs that I have blogged, I noticed that I have made this all about me and my 2 kids, so I thought I would introduce you to my siblings. Really, they are nice people!!!! lol The first one is my oldest sister Jeannie. She is the smart one of the group. Then you know me, Mackenzie and Coleman. The next picture is my younger brother Marshall. He is a helicopter pilot. His wife is about to have a baby!!! Then there is Ben. He is an officer at the State Prison and is about to be hired on for the Draper P.D. Last but not least is my youngest sister Lydia. She is has a 4 year old boy. She is engaged to be married sometime in the future!! Soooo, that is my family. I would also like to point out that none of us were together when these pictures were taken. I think that is what makes it funnier! We took these all on our very own!!!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrrr

I noticed that it has been well over a month since I have posted a blog, but that is because we have had a very busy month!!! My girlfriend Shelley and I planned a trip with all the kids (together we have 5) to Bear World in Idaho. Her kids were a little sick, and it was a little rainy, but we had a blast.....well at least I did cuz my kids were not sick!! We borrowed another friends SUV so we could all travel in the same car and we stayed with friends and family in Idaho (thanks Dustin & Jen!) It was a lot of fun. A few years ago Shelley and I took them to a wedding in California (we miss you Heather & Kaj) and while we were there we hit Sea World, Lego Land and the beach. Now I think we need to save our pennies for something like a cruise WITH OUT the kiddos! Anyone else want to come with (or babysit for that matter)?????

Just a little update on my kids with their chores. I really don't have anything bad to say! They are doing such an awesome job! I would like to say that their chores have become a daily habit, but I know if I do say that, things will change. I can honestly say that I know they don't enjoy it (good to know they are normal!) but they LOVE it when pay day comes around. We are going to go to Bear World for Memorial Day weekend, and they are saving every last dollar for our vacation! Maybe they will be willing to pitch in for gas! LOL

B*O*W*L*I*N*G

My oldest brother has been in town this last week and excluding my grandmother's funeral that we all attended, my siblings and I had an enjoyable time together! Something I discovered though, is that I need to get my kids out more! They were so excited to be at the bowling alley, they didn't know what to do with themselves!! They were so cute!!! And I think they even bowled better then some of my brother's and sister! It was fun! :)

Dancing the night away!

Mackenzie had her first competition for the year. She was in 3 different dances (they wear the same costume for 2 of them). They did really good! They scored 100 (1st place) on one and 98 (2nd place) in the other 2 dances. It was a lot of fun. This year I found it kind of hard to video record and take pictures at the same time. Next competition there will be more pictures!! I love it!!!!! (and so does she!)

She was baptized!!

(yes that is a picture of my ex!) I can not believe how times flies!! My baby girl was baptized last Saturday! It was a great day. Friends and family traveled from all over Utah. The weather was nice and everybody got along. After this special event, we all went out and had dinner together. It was all in all very nice. Congratulations Mackenzie!!!
