Park City Get-Away

My parents spoiled us all and arranged for a family get away to park city.  We had so much fun shopping, swimming, eating, riding the sky scraper, going down Alpine Slide, and just being together!

Retirement

My amazing mom has worked her little heiny off for years and years and finally retired!  We love having her around all the time now!  We are so grateful for all the years of hard work that she put in for our family!

2 AMAZING parents + 3 daughters with 3 awesome husbands + 11 grandkids within 8 years of eachother = Pure Joy!

It started with them…

Then went to this…

and they ended up with this craziness!

The kids love helping papa in anyway that they can!

Matt and I built the kids a lemonade stand.  They love it and beg everyday to sell more!

Brox is our little animal lover!  He is happiest when he is holding/petting/playing with any type of animal!

We were so excited to own our own house until of course problems arise!  When we turned on the sprinklers for the first time, of course there was a huge crack in the pipe and we had to did it all out…the kids on the otherhand, didn’t mind at all!

Breezy learned how to blow spit bubbles and give some seriously slobbery kisses!

Getting ready for some Summer fun!

Potty Training

I think this is the worst part of parenting! (ok, so my oldest is only 6 and I know there’s lots worse to come, but so far… this does me in!)  Brox has been a pain in the butt to get potty trained but he finally did it!  We went cold turkey and took all diapers away.  There was lots and lots of laundry for a week or so, and then it slowed down and he got the hang of it.  He still isn’t a pro, but we’ve limited accidents to about 1-2 a week!

This dang chicken “minee” is Brox’s best buddy.  One day we walked in to find this.  Mind you, chickens are not allowed in the house.  Brox had gone out and opened the coop and brought Minee in to watch him go potty!

I tried to make it fun for these two rugrats to do it together one day, but that lasted all of 15 minutes… then I threw in the towel.

School fun and graduation

We went with Savy’s class on a fieldtrip to Cabellas.  I love watching my kids learn and interact in school!

Savy graduated her first year of preschool with Ms. Loni.  She loved it and is excited to go back next year!

Taelyn chose to do her first research report on bottlenose dolphins.  She is my child who absolutely loves school!  She had so much fun doing her report and was so proud of it. 

This is a picture of her first day vs. last day of kindergarten.  She grew up so much and it’s killing me!
