Saylor is a very animated girl I love to hear her stories. She is very perticular about how she dresses, if I get involved it can be bad news. She has such beautiful blue eyes and reminds me so much of her big sis Kiah. She is special and she loves to sing.

Sadie is so much fun. She is very social and loves to play outside. She has learned to ride a bike with no training wheels, and is learning to write her letters really well. She is a spit image of her dad so I guess Erick would make a beautiful girl.

How handsome is this guy.. Ladies better watch out. This boy is one of the most special kids ever, and I don't just say that because I am his mom. He is so kind hearted and sweet. He always seeks out the kids who don't have many friends. He is my special sweet man.

Kesli is one of the most loving people I know. She loves to make new friends. She has started a new school this year and is doing really well. She is liked by all, and she is such a smart girl.

I can hardly believe she will be 12 next week, she will start the young women program. I am so proud of her. She was nominated as Vice President this year on student council at Orchard Elementary School. She continues to amaze me.

This girls are such beauty's We had fun taking some pictures of the kids this weekend. Sadie and Saylor are best of friends. They have gotten a little too creative lately. We have been seeing lots of writing on furniture and walls and we always know who's to blame, mostly because it is their name they are writing.

And the school year begins.

I thought our summer was busy, but this school year has been even crazier. The girls have started up dance lessons again including me, and Isaac is playing his first year of soccer. He scored a goal his first game which was so fun and he just loves getting in there and running around. The twins had some major dental work done. They each had 8 cavities in the same spots and Sadie had an absest tooth that they pulled. They were so brave I was so proud. We made sure they had there blankets and bunnies to give them comfort. We made a trip down to St. George over Labor day where we did some swimming at Erick's grandma's community pool, and got to enjoy the Cougars win there first game at my brothers house. My brothers reaction was priceless. I am teaching the twins pre-school on my own this year which has been so fun to bond with those two. We have been cooking together, doing crafts, playing games and learning ABC's and 123. They are such smart girls and will be so prepared for kindergarten.

Happy Birthday to my guy. We just celebrated Erick's 33 Birthday. Erick has accomplished so much in his life and I am so proud of him. He served 8 years in the military where he was on submarines for 3 years on and off, and Iraq for 1 year. He has become a personal trainer for Crossfit, he has had 5 awesome children, one hot little wife (ha ha). I am amazed by this man and I love him so much. We had a fun birthday party, with some old friends from his childhood. What a fun time we had. I love the both of these pictures the first one is perfect , he love the outdoors and hiking and mountain biking and skiing so anything that involves mountains. The next was when he had just arrived to our house for his R and R in iraq, that was one of the happiest moments in my life. I love you babe, and hope you had a great day.

We went to St. George to visit my brother over Labor day. My sister in law Tara has a friend who lives in L.A. and performs in broadway plays there. Well she was going to stop by and bring a friend. The friend happend to be from the movie Hairspray she play one of the nicest kids in town as Brenda if you remeber the line "Just nine months" you might remember her. She also was on the reality show The next Elle Woods, on MTV. So her name is Cassie and she is an amazing singer and Kiah sang for her as well. My girl were so excited to meet someone they consider to be famous. What a fun experience for them

Happy 5th birthday Sadie and Saylor!!!!

Ican't believe my babies are 5 today. How time has passed. We had a fun Lady bug birthday celebration on Saturday. They had so fun with friends and family. This birthday was so special. I can't believe we have survived 5 years with twins. I have to admit they have been my hardest babies but we are just loving our time with them now. I am so greatful for them and the life lessons they have taught me. I am a stronger person and a more loving mom because of there sweet spirits. They are best of friends and they are a perfect addition to this family. I will be sad to have them start kindergarten next year. They are beautiful little ladies and we love them very much. We took them to pirate island pizza for lunch today and got them converse high tops shoes to match there birthday outfits.

Family Reunion in Bear Lake

We had such a fun family reunion last weekend in Bear Lake. We stayed in a cabin that had a shuffle board table, and a ping pong table which provided a lot of fun for the kids. Friday we went down to the lake and the kids took many turns on my in-laws paddle boat. They had so much fun swimming and playing in the sand as well. I layed on the beach and read, it was wonderful. Saturday was absolutely freezing, it never got above 60 degrees. we took a long drive and let the kids chase some chipmunks. Other than that we were stuck in the cabin playing a competive game of phase 10. Sunday we cleaned up and then head up Logan Canyon to tony's grove where we did a simple hike around the lake, it was so beautiful the wild flowers were amazing. It was so fun getting together with family and creating bonds with each other. I always love that my sister married my husbands brother because I love having her there.
