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

He got a little tikes car with trailer, some play-dough, a new black truck, and new elmo Jammies from mommy and daddy.
I think he had an amazing day and spent it with the ones he loves!



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!!!
