Mother's Day!

Ty was trying to be like his Uncle Caleb (the uncle with muscles) doing puch-ups with a kid on his back. Man he is strong!

 Ty had his pre-school "promotion" ceremony.

Jade lost both her 2 front teeth in the same day!

 My aunt gave me this vanity to put in the girls bedroom.

 I tried my hand at glazing it. It turned out pretty good I must say.

I love Mother's Day!

 Me and Jade

 Me and Ty

Me and Zoe

 Me and the man who helped me become a mother. He spoiled me rotten today and I am so thankful for all he does for me and the kids!

Happy Easter!

It is just too bad I can't seem to ever get a picture where they are ALL smiling.

Jacksonville Beach!!!

For Spring Break we flew out to visit the fam in Jacksonville, Florida. It was perfect weather and all around a great trip! Here is my mom and Ty at the beach (these are in no order). My mom will never look at the camera.

 Zoe had the hardest time with the sunshine. I hear that blue eyes have a hard time adjusting.

 Jade was of course Grandpa Dwight little shadow the entire trip!

Ty loved everything about the beach, and just asked again last night if we can go back and visit soon! He wants grandma's homemade bread and honeybutter!

 This is the best shot I got of Kade surfing. He also tried paddle boarding.

 This girl kills me! I told her to strike a pose...and this is what I got!

Jade was definitely in the water the most. Uncle Caleb helped her to surf. She is quite the natural.



 She loved it!

 Jade, me, and Zoe in the pool at my parents house.

My parents reading the kids OUTSIDE! (It had snowed in Idaho that day)

 Jade turned into a water bug. She lived in the pool.

 This is how Zoe enjoyed the beach. Under any form of shade, and above the sand.

Every morning the kids helped Grandpa Dwight walk Kipper.

 We went to the fish market, and Jade walked right back outside after she saw that all the fish were dead. Ty and Zoe liked it.

We took some family photos at the beach while we were there. These are the ones my mom took over her shoulder. I will post the real photos once I get them.

 I have the best brothers in the world!!! Uncle Josh was more than willing to get down in the dirt with Ty and Zoe.

We celebrated Jade's birthday while we were there. Happy 6th Birthday Jade!!!

 Grandma and Grandpa got Jade a tiara. She sure is beautiful!

 Here is Uncle Caleb buring the Jade and Ty.

We went to the zoo while we were there, and had a blast. The kids favorite part was being able to feed the sting rays.

My two awesome brothers and me! Josh and Caleb, thanks for being the best brother and the best Uncle anyone could have!

Quick Update

Jade, 6, Loves life and EVERYONE that she meets!

 Ty, 4, just got his pre-school picture taken. This kid loves ANYTHING that is a boy toy. Superheros, transformers, Ben 10, swords, guns, lego's, and ALL video games.

 Zoe, 2, just started potty training. She is just HAPPY!

Kade and I love these kids so much, and we can't wait to see what amazing people they will turn out to be!

Amazing, Ouch, Awesome, & Cute, Cute, Cute!

Yes, I am pretty amazing! I was tired of our boring white tile in our bathroom so...

I retiled it. Not perfect, but I'm quite impressed with myself since it was my first time!

 Jade fell off the monkey bars a couple weeks ago, but fortunately it was just a bruised wrist (and some splinters in her forehead from the ground, I guess she landed on her face too). She thought it was cool to get her first x-rays. A couple days of pain meds and she was good to go. She still hasn't gotten back on the monkey bars though.

 I got this awesome jewelry/mirror container from my husband for Valentine's Day. When it arrived it had a crack straight accross the middle. We called the company and they credited us back the entire amount!!! I put some cool chrome vinyl on it, and it looks AWESOME (I know you can't really tell in the photo)!

 My kids are cute, cute, cute! Yes, I am biased! Zoe loved this hat, and wouldn't take it off for a couple days. She still closes her eyes for the camera.

 I got this cute shot with her eyes open!

 Thank you Apple. The Ipad has brought my children closer together...hehehe!

Life is wonderful isn't it!!!!!

Zoe is 2!!!

I made cake pops for Zoe's birthday instead of a cake, but they didn't turn out exactly like the picture (but man were they good!!!).

 Zoe had her friend Kinley come over and they chilled in their jamma's!

 We invited the neighborhood kids to come over and sing Happy Birthday to Zoe.

 The 3 musketeers - Zoe, Bryn, and Kinley

 When dad got home from work we gave Zoe our present.

 A wiggle car! She loves it!
