Too Cute!

I just thought this was cute! Brandon got baptized yesterday and ever since then Jordan has been holding peoples nose and trying to baptize them! It is so cute! However little Ivy in primary didn't like it very much! Jordan keeps saying hold u nose k, i put you in water k, all done! Just cute and I think he picks up on so much!

Mirror Mirror on the wall

Tianna thinks she is the prettiest one of all theses are the most recent pictures she has taken of herself! There are lots of times I find her with my camera! She has no self esteem issues! She is very beautiful on the inside and outside! She is loving, kind, and an amazing girl! love you sis!

Bubble bath!

Jordan just loves to take a bath! He loves a bubble bath! He is just the cutest kid! Love him bunches!

Gingerbread house!

It was a group effort!

Jordan was a great helper and he got most of the candy on the floor or in his mouth!

Almost done!

The finished product

We are trying to get in the christmas spirit. So we made this ginger bread house while listening to christmas music! I think for the most part everyone had fun, except when they were begging Jordan not to eat all the candies!

My Brandon's big Day!

So today Brandon was Baptized by his dad! we are so very proud of him! I can't believe he is old enough to be baptized!
Life sure flies by! We love you and are so proud of you and so is your Heavenly Father!





Jordan!

How can you not just love this sweet face! He is in his favorite pajamas that he refused to take off! Love my little boo boo!

Thanksgiving!

We had such a great Thanksgiving! We all went to Joe and Val's house. We got to be with the family and talk and play a game. Try to decide if any of us was crazy enough to go shop on black friday. I still don't know if any of us did. I know We didn't! Anyway, Thanksgiving makes you reflect on your life and all the blessings that we have have! I know that I have so many! I am thankful for my family my mom and dad, my brothers Joe and Steve and thier beautiful wives Val and Ivy, for my amazingly cute nephews and niece Jacob, Riley and Bailey! I am thankful for my family, my amazing husband who works so hard for everything we have! My four amazing kids taht I just love absolutely more than anything else in this world. I am thankful for my house, my friends, and quiet times, even if they sre few and far between. I am thankful for the gospel and all that my savior has done for me. I am thankful that I have an eternity with my family! I am so thankful for all that I have! I hope all of you had a great thanksgiving too! Steve and Ivy we missed you guys! Can't wait for Christmas!

My wolf scout

This is my new wolf scout! He has only been in scouts for two weeks and has earned his bobcat badge! We are so proud of him!

Brandon's Thanksgiving play!

Brandon and all his class did such a great job on his play! I was so very proud of him! The songs were so very cute!

Catching up is time consuming!!!!

Well, I think I am all caught up and there have been lots of other things I wanted to blog about and I forgot to take my camera. So, we have been busy like all people in the last months of the year! It is only getting crazier! Hope you enjoy all the pictures and updates!

Halloween!

This is the only picture I have of Halloween on my camera. All pictures were taken on my phone! So, this group of amazingly cute kids is the Stewart clan. They are too cute to be scarey! For Halloween we went up to Ucon and did the trunk or treat in Joe and Val's ward. Then we came and did more trick or treating, had to go to friends houses, teachers, and ward members. Anyway, we all had a great time!

Jordan loves Jesus!

We have the gospel art book that has this very picture in it. Jordan loves to look at this book, and I try to tell him the stories that go with the pictures. He will look at this picture for a very long time and talk about Jesus! When we go to church he has to point out all the pictures of Jesus. He talks about his owies on his hands and feet. I am so thankful for Jordan and his love for Jesus!

A big boy bed for Jordan

Well, Jordan got a big boy bed and he loves it! We were worried that he wouldn't like it, but we were wrong! He loves to tell the other kids they are too big for his bed and they can't sleep in it. Hopefully, he will enjoy his bed for a long time!

SNOW!

We got snow this past week! It wasn't much and it did melt, except on our driveway which is a sheet of ice! Anyway it will snow more soon I am sure and then our driveway will be a little safer! My kids are hoping we get more snow so they can build forts, have snow ball fights, make snow men, and just enjoy the snow!

Tianna's new look!

So my little girl decided she needed a new look. She got her hair permed! She loves it! I think she looks beautful of course! She also has a feather, I don't really get that, but I did things too that my Mom didn't get so it was bound to happen! What a pretty girl!

Got Jordan to wear undies!

Funny huh? The kid will put underwear on his head and he thinks it is so funny, but put them on his little bum, well, that is just wrong! Keeps me smiling!

Brandon is 8 !

He had to have a motorcycle cake!

One of his gifts.

10 BIG ONES!

We always wake up our kids on their Birthday singing to them! They eat cake for breakfast and get their presents. We have a dinner later with all the family. Anyway, he has been waiting to be 8, since he was like 5. So this Birthday was a big deal! He was so happy that he is finally going to be baptized! We are so proud of him for making the choice to be baptized! He is certainly growing up way too fast! Happy Birthday to my Brandon Bear!

Love the Fall!

The kids were having so much fun in the leaves, I just wish that Jordan was up enjoying it with them. He was taking a nap. They all loved the leaves and playing in them! We love the fall!

Water, water, water, and more water!

cheesing for the camera

playing in the water with cups

he is so stinking cute!

So, this is Jordan's new thing. He pulls a chair over to the kitchen sink and turns the water on and grabs all his cups and Tianna's lps's (littlest pet shop animals) and gives them baths in the cups and he can do this for hours................. hope our water bill doesn't break us! hahaha.  Anyway, he has so much fun and talks to me the whole time and gets me to bathe the pets too! Just too cute!

Growing up !!!

So, I haven't really updated on my monkeys in a while, so this may be a long post, so I apologize now. Let's start with Tianna, She is having so many lasts this year that it makes me want to cry! This is her last year in Primary, She is going to be in her last primary program next week. It is her last year in middle school. Next year she will be in 7th grade and in the junior high school! It is her last year of being my little girl! All this for me is some what over whelming...... OK extremely overwhelming! She is going to have lots of firsts, her first year as a young woman (stop......am I that freaking old that I have a young woman for a daughter........CRAZZZZZY). Anyway, I am very proud of the beautiful young lady she is becoming! Then there is Dallen , This is his last year of elementary school, his last year of the single digits, and will be 10 in January. He is just as sweet and cute as can be and has such an amazing spirit about him. He has such a strong testimony of the gospel and I am so very proud to be his mom. Now, There is my Brandon who is a social guy, friend to everyone and wants to make sure everyone is included. He will be eight in a few weeks, and will be baptized. He is so excited! I am so proud of him and the choices he is making! Then there is my Jordan who has been keeping me occupied and busy so I don't think about all my kids growing up. He is growing up too! He talks so much and is so funny and mimics all his siblings. He loves to dance and sing and that is what we do most of the day when we aren't playing with play-dough, or reading books. So, that's the update hope you enjoyed it!

Just a little quote

Our lives are the only meaningful expression of what we believe and in Whom we believe. And the only real wealth, for any of us, lies in our faith.


Gordon B. Hinckley



How true is this one quote? I find President Hinckley was a wise man. I have strong feelings about this quote. I say it to myself often. I consider my self wealthy, not because I drive fancy cars or because I live in a mansion, but because I have an eternal family, one that I will take with me when we all leave this Earth. I have amazing children that bear there testimonies at church and declare there love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! I get to see my children grow up in the gospel and know that the church is true. So what if I don't drive the best cars and have the biggest house, and I don't spend lots of money on clothes. I am wealthy in so many other ways. I hope all of you feel wealthy too! I am so blessed to have my husband and kids for eternity!

Jordan's Party

YAY!

Well it has been a while, but I will just post real fast. I have found my battery charger for my camera! It was not lost, just put in a good place! hahaha! Then my sister-in-law came over and fixed my blog which was so easy for her! So Thanks valerie! So Jordan's little Birthday party is in a little while and I will be able to post pics! YAY! Lots of party pictures to come!

A couple of things!

First of all I can't find my battery charger for my camera and it is driving me crazy! Second my Blog is doing all kinds of weird things and I can't figure it out!!!!! My kids just keep getting sick one after another and I am sick and tired of them being sick!!!!!!! I was really looking forward to Jordan's Birthday and spud harvest, but it seems like all we will be doing is chilling at home taking care of the sick!!!! Thanks for reading my post and letting me vent!

My Baby is 2 !!!!

<>

It seems like only yesterday that we were bringing this little baby home. I remember how excited all the kids were to have a baby in the house. I just remember thinking how much I love this baby! He has made our family whole! Even though it seems like yesterday, Here is apicture of him now...................

Here he is my amazing Jordan! He keeps me busy all day! With his zest for life and playing outside and helping me do the chores around the house. I'd say this little guy is my bestest buddy! I never get too far away from him!

Jordan at 2:

loves:    Taking baths, horses, cows, running and sreaming, loves to jump out of hiding and scare you, he
             He loves all of us and Jacob and Riley(his cousins), but his two favorite loves are to dance and sing!

Hates:   He hates having to be home when everyone else gets to go bye-bye, he hates sitting in his car seat

Favorite T.v. shows:  Sesame street(elmo's world only), bubble guppies, and dancing with the stars

Favorite food:  Pizza, yogurt, chicken nuggets, pizza( which is really a quesadilla), french fries, and every fruit
                        there is.

Funny things he does:    he has a skip, bounce, walk that is so cute, when we tell him to smile he makes this
                                     face that is so funny, he tells stories that are so funny and acts them out! he loves to
                                    say octopus but he says optimacus.

Anyway, he is my baby, and I am slowly coping with having to let him grow up! So sorry if this went on and on. Jordan, Happy Birthday and We all Love you!!!!!!!   But MOMMY ALWAYS LOVES YOU THE MOST!!!

Dallen and Jordan !

This is where Dallen has been camping out for the last 5 days! He has had a bacterial infection that has kicked his butt! When he does have some relief from the fevers and migraines I can't keep him in bed! He is running all over the house and playing with Jordan. It does allow me to get my cleaning done!

See! This is what I mean. Got a picture of them they were playing ! I really do have amazing kids! I just hope that my Dallen will start feeling better soon!

New family pictures!
