FHE

Not the greatest photo, but its at least proof that we had FHE at least once this month :-)

For family home evening this week we got a bunch of families together in our ward for a family kick ball game. It was pretty fun and the kids really enjoyed it. Hayley was over it pretty quick and helped take care of all the babies...Thanks Haha...you are a great babysitter. I think aside from Steve Anderson I am pretty much the best kickball player....NOT but it was still fun anyway.

I'm back...

Where have I been....LIFE, need I say more :-). 4 kids, a job (multiple jobs if you count activity coordinator, laundry doer, carpool driver, lost shoe finder and AR reading enforcer, my least favorite out of all) , Saturday games cheer leader, a few birthdays, etc....WOW I am tired just typing this but I think you get the idea of where I have been the last few months...no different than every other mom out there trying to raise a family. Sometimes having a family gets in the way of documenting your family but I have an entire afternoon today to get caught up and hopefully stay that way the rest of the year! The funny thing about getting behind is that if you are not thinking about your next post you really don't take as many pictures.

Valentine's Day

Humm...wonder what she was eating maybe a ring pop?


really wish I could crop this photo to be closer....

Are they sisters?

For some reason I absolutely love Valentine's day...maybe its the romantic in me, all the red or all the candy or that it is exactly one week away from my birthday (its like a prebirthday celebration) but I always look forward to it. I got me and my girls these really cute matching shirts and we all wore them on Friday and we got Riley a shirt that said "All the Ladies Love me". He was a great sport and wore it for his party. Sadie got to get up early from her nap and make the rounds to all the class parties and get a treat at every stop...she loved that as you can tell by the pictures. Then after school a bunch of kids came over and hung out for a while....my living room looked like a candy Christmas. It was super fun...and I am starting to love this life stage as the kids get older and friends are hanging out more and more, so fun!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Paige's 9th Birthday

Who doesn't love movie theater popcorn...Yummy!

Who are all these sassy girls...so cute!

Wow are we getting old or what....my cute little Pager is turning 9! She decided to take a few friends to see "Tooth Fairy" and go to Dairy Queen. It was super fun with one minor glitch....we showed up about 20 minutes early and the movie was sold out, stuff like that always happens to her...so I got on my trusty iPhone and found another theater although we got there quite a bit early it gave us a chance to get all the snacks we could ever want. She got a few webkins, CDs, necklace and had a cookie dough blizzard. It was a great time. On her actual birthday we got Krispy Kreme for her birthday school snack and ate Somburros for dinner...that a girl who knows where to go on her birthday...yummy my favorite place too!

Happy Birthday Pager...we love you!

Alex's baseball game

leading off first...

Uncle Alex (my brother) played a baseball game at HohoKam Staium this week so we went and watched...it was so fun. I can't wait for my kids to get older, hopefully they love sports as much as Ryan and I do. He is really good and plays for Gateway Community College. The pitcher on the other team had a total melt down cusing up a storm, yelling, etc....after the incident was over we were all laughing at how rediculous he looked and Paige says "I recorded it on my iPod" Uh oh wouldn't want anyone to see that....it was pretty funny though. My 9-year-old has the technology and knows how to use it and I can barely up load my camera photos :-)

Sadie's 2nd Birthday Party

Holy cow where in the heck did 2-years go. This is kind of bitter sweet, she is probably our last baby and the time is just flying by. This year has been so fun. She is talking up a storm and her personality is hilarious. Her best friend is her cousin Brynlie...she knows when we pull into her neighborhood and starts yelling her name, pretty funny. All the kids totally love her and for Ryan and I it is like our first child again. We have truly enjoyed every minute with her. She loves candy like Ryan and so her birthday party them was "Sadie's Favorite Things". We had baby soda's, ring pops, dum dums and just about every type of candy you can think of. She was in heaven. We got a huge bouncer and she loved it. She got a new bike with a baby basket in the front. Happy Birthday Sader B.

FAVORITE SAYINGS:

I cute!

I funny!

I stuck!

Typing them does not do them justice....I need to find a way to record them and put it on the blog because it is so cute.

Missing Sadie

This morning as I was picking up and was doing laundry, Sadie was out back playing on her scooter and quad. The back door was open and she was coming and going. I checked on her a few times but at one point I could not find her anywhere....I searched the backyard and then my entire house, I started to get panicked she was no where. OMG worst nightmare. I head to the side yard and see the side gate was open.....I am now at a full sprint with my heart pounding....in the driveway was her barbie cell phone but she was no where. I go next door and she is not there so I head around the corner as just as I turn the corner I see her turning the corner to Cole (the main street through our neighborhood on her quad) heading north like no ones business, she turns and waves to me and keeps going. I almost had a heart attack....this crazy chick is a week away from being 2 thinks she is 12. She just kept going and was totally laughing by the time I caught up with her.
