Katie's Birthday!

Katie turned 3!!! Wow I can not believe it! She starts Preschool next month, she is so excited, I am a little sad. Her Birthday was on Friday so we took her to a movie, The Smurfs, went to dinner and swam a little bit.

Thank you to everyone that came to the Party! Thank you Steve and Cathy for letting us have the party at your house. We had a lot of fun! Thank goodness it did not rain.

New Pictures

We had the kids pictures taken in July, Kim McDermaid took them for us! I think they are super cute! Katie actually had a black eye, but Kim fixed the pictures for me. Thanks Kim for photoshopping all her pictures. Mason lost his first tooth a couple days before the pictures to. I guess I should of left the black eye it would have went great with the missing tooth. ha ha!

Spring Break!

We spent Spring Break in St. George, at Grammy and Papa's place . Brett, Brandy, Kenadie and Cooper also were in St. George for a Baseball game so we got to spend time with them to. It was a lot of fun, especially because the weather was so nice.


Some fun pictures of the weekend.





The kids swam everyday!!!


The Easter Bunny left lots of eggs and hid the kids' Easter baskets. They had a lot of fun finding them.

Mason's Awards!

Mason had an exciting month. He got an award at school for listening and following directions. It was part of the Jr. Husky Spotlight program at school.

Mason's Wii Party!!!

Mason is now 6 years old. I can not believe how fast time flies. Soon he will be in 1st grade, then Junior High, then High School, then he will be driving, then graduating, then.. I do not want to even think about anymore. You get the point! For his Birthday party he asked for a Wii party, all I thought was how am I going to figure this out? Well of course I did and I went overboard as usual. I do like to throw parties! Here is a few pictures from the Party, I think everyone had a great time.
