Aaron's 30th Birthday!

Happy 30th birthday Hon! I love you!

Ok so I know not enough candles right? well I ran out.. but you can consider the strawberries on the top to represent his age.. Needless to say I made this yummy cheesecake.. Note to Jenny.. you may want to try this one I will be sending you the recipe!.. really yummy and super easy!

Random Family Pictures!

I think sometimes the best pictures that describe us are the ones where no one knows the picture is being taken.. or they do and just be themselves.. here are some random family pics we've taken over the last little while.. hope you all enjoy..

Hope Aaron doesn't mind me putting this one when he see's it!

My New little Nephew!

My Brother Ben and his wife Jessica aka my sister in law had a baby boy almost three months ago.. His name is Bridger.. He's so cute and sweet!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House!

Me and my Honey!

Our family!

The cousin's had alot of fun going to the temple together!

Side of the Temple!

The Cousin's !

The Temple!

I was soooo excited to take the kids to this.. due to the fact that we were moving during the draper open house we never made it to that one.. But this was sooo much fun! When we told Ammon we were going he was stoked! Everytime Aaron and I go to the temple Ammon ask if he can go yet.. but we always tell him that he's not quite big enough.. so when we told him he got to go this time.. he said " it's cuz I turned 4 huh mom? and I am big now" lol! then I had to explain why he could go this time . Anyhow, he was really excited to go! I was glad we went.

Swimming Lesson's!

My sister in law Natalie has taught swimming lessons for awhile now... and well she is so great at it! My kids love going to swimming lesson's. Needless to say my kids and my sweet nephew Marshall goes the same time. They are doing really well!
Ammon is like a fish and is really good.. sorry not a good pic but this is him splashing in after jumping off the diving board!

Ammon learning the jelly fish float!

Ammon learning to back float!

Cait is scared of putting her whole face in the water but she back floats like nobody's business!

Ammon Flips!

So since we got our tampoline I have been working with the kids on the tricks that they can do! I am trying to teach them the safe way to do things so the don't get hurt. I taught Ammon how to do a Knee flip but still using his hands. However after doing that a few times I guess he got bored and taugh him self how to do a front flip... he can't quite land it yet.. but he is getting their.. I still can't believe he can do it!

Ammon turns 4!

Ammon loves Black spiderman... ok ok lets be honest here Ammon is obsessedwith anything spiderman to say the least... needless to say once again he gets more spider man stuff for yet another birthday. I am begining to think that he is going to want spiderman birthday parties for ever...
The Cousins that he parties with!

The Cake that I made for my boy! I still can't believe that I have a 4 yr old! This time next year I will be getting him ready for kindergarten! Wow! where does the time go?

The Bows that were made yesterday!

Lorina-- this is for you!

I knew someone would ask to see pics I was just to lazy to put them on with the actual post. I guess I was all crafted out. Oh well such is life. I know they are not the best but they will do and I made them for alot less than I woulda paid for one. So cost wise it was a good choice!

And while they slept...

So this afternoon.. I decided to try some more bow making.. I would say it went fairly well. Mostly sicne both my kids went down for a nap today.. lol! this rarely happens.... so I was feeling kinda crafty and wasn't sure how long I would get... so I began making hair bows for Caitlynn.. I made one very LARGE bow and three medium ones and 3 small ones.. Cait has always liked the smaller bows... needless to say when she woke up I showed them to her.. I then asked her which ones she liked best..
Cait: she grabs all of the bows except the big one
Me: I kinda laugh and say well so you don't like the big one huh? but I worked so hard on it..
Cait: ok I guess I like it
Cait: how do I do it...
Me: I begin putting them all in her hair like I would if it was done.. I get all 7 bows in her hair.. I laugh and tell her how cute she is...
Cait: she blushes and get a funny look on her face and says " moms your so silly"
Me: laughing really hard.. as I begin taking them out..
Lol I have to say I think this child of mine is going to be giving me a good run for my money someday relatively soon.. Oh well I am sure my mother would get a kick out of it! Either that or she would tell me what goes around comes around one of the two I am sure!

Health Update..

My test have all come back fine. I am feeling somewhat better. Someday's are better than others. The Dr. said that if things get bad come back and we'll talk some more about things. I know I am not even sure what that means! Anyhow, he did say that for now he was satisfied to tell me that he doesn't think there is anything major wrong that my body can't correct on it's own. So I guess we will wait to see if the good Dr is right... it is still up for debate. But I am hoping that he is right. I would like to feel better and stay better for awhile. It seems like these past couple of years I can't get through the tail end of the winter weather without having some major health issue. But here's to hoping for a happier healthier tomorrow.
