Hair cut Day!

So Ammon has been asking me to cut his hair for a couple of days telling me that his hair makes him hot! So today I decided to cut the poor kids hair as its going to get really hot here soon. While doing his hair Cait kept telling me that she needed a haircut to and that her hair made her hot too... I told her that we could do a trim if she was good while I did Ammon's hair... so she sat in the waiting chair patiently till I was done with Ammon; and then announced " MY TURN!" so what's a mommy to do? Well I gave her a trim of course! It was her very first haircut!

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?
