Six years already!!

This is Junior when he was little. What happened to my little man? He used to fit on my lap so easily and now he is all arms and legs. I can't believe he is already six.

Junior is such a sweet boy with a contagious laugh. His laugh could make anyone smile. He is extremely intelligent and is doing excellent at school. I am going to be so sad when he goes into first grade and is gone all day. We will all be so sad.

If you know Junior, you know that he loves all things Red and Spiderman. He starts liking other things like Bakugan but will always be excited for Spiderman. His favorite song is "Skidamarink". His favorite number is 10. His best friend at school is Ethan E. and he loves riding his bike and doing tricks that I think are too old for him to be doing.

Happy Birthday Junior!!

Jay's friend party

Every year Jay and his friends from High School get together and have a party. We eat, talk and have a white elephant exchange. This year I had to work so I couldn't go. :( But, Jay did bring me home a great gift, the "Shave my Legs Jenny!" I laughed so hard! If you look closely, you can see the real, yes real hair on her legs.

New Pictures

My Aunt Karen, takes the best pictures. I was trying to channel her when I was taking these of my kids.

Junior-isms

Junior - Mom, which shirt do you think would be the best to wear? The red one, the spider-man one or the BYU football one?

Me - I think that you should wear the BYU football one.

Junior - No, Which shirt would be the BEST to wear today?

Me - I think you should wear the BYU football one because it has long sleeves and it's cold outside.

Junior - No, it's the spider-man one because it has heroes on it!

Spring Lake

When I was younger, we would ride our bikes to Spring Lake to feed the ducks. So I thought we would do it. We saved our heels from our bread until we had a freezer full of them and took the kids to the "Lake". Junior and Abby just loved it!
This is my family, except for Gracie, I am holding her. I love that Junior is trying to throw the right way like his father taught him, but is throwing with the wrong arm again. Abby would throw the whole piece into the water because she was too excited to break it up into little pieces.

These ducks were smart! By the time we left, I think we had all of the ducks from this HUGE (wink, wink) lake over by us, hoping for food. If you threw it high enough, they could even catch it in their beaks before it hit the water.

I tried to get them catching the bread in their beaks, but didn't. At least you can hear Junior and his excited giggle.

Abby's First Day of Preschool!!

This is Abby showing off her new pink shoes. I have never seen a child more excited to wear new clothes, shoes and a backpack. She would get so excited, she just couldn't stop herself from jumping for joy!

Abby loved her first day of preschool! She was devestated when she realized she wasn't going to go to Miss Candi's, (where Junior went the year before), but cried when she had to leave. We are doing a round robin style of preschool, so I know that she will absolutely love it when it's time to have it at our house.

Blackberries

This year we finally have a yard with a garden!! We even have blackberries!! I love having all of these fresh fruit and vegetables. We didn't do very well with our garden, but the fruit trees and blackberries have been wonderful!! This is a picture of my family picking blackberries for cobbler (yummy). I didn't help. Bad memories from growing up?

This is a picture of my angel.
Abby loves pink if you couldn't tell from this picture and was wearing a bowl for some reason. Who wouldn't like to get into the mind of a three year old? I love how the light bounces off of the bowl and makes her look even more like an angel :)
