Build a Bear for Koda's Birthday!!

Happy 4th birthday Matty! Coop wanted to go to Build a Bear and Cabelas for his birthday and that is what we did! The kids all loved getting a new stuffed friend and had fun playing with their cousins and Uncle Travis! This was the first time we had met baby Mariah and what a cutie she is! There was plenty of snow (cold, cold snow) for the kids to play in and Cooper had a wonderful birthday!

My parents future Christmas Card!!!!

While up in Salt Lake for Koda's we went to dinner with my parents to an AWESOME restaurant and in the entry we decided to take some pictures the second one will be this years Christmas card for my parents-don't they look so in LOVE!!??!!!

Celine Dion...AMAZING

For my birthday in December we took all of our kids and my parents to see Celine Dion in Las Vegas. To say it was amazing would be an understatement! She is truly a gifted woman! My kids and hubby loved it as

much as I did! And of course since we are foodies the food is always worth going to Vegas!! I had an AMAZING birthday, I am very blessed!

First Day of School!

The first day of school was a very exciting day-I think I might have been the biggest worry wart of us all!! We were so excited to finally have Sandra Turnbeaugh as Jaden's second grade teacher-we have loved her for years and now adore her as a teacher!

Bailia is in Kindergarten FULL DAY and has Jaden's first grade teacher Mrs. Mathews. I could not ask for two better teachers-it is hard to believe only a few short months are left of this school year...

How could I resist!?!

Though this may embarrass Koda when he gets older I couldn't resist posting a picture of my cute little ballerinas! He is the biggest character ever! He loves any and everything-and one day when it was just Koda and Sis home she got in her leotard and talked him into getting into one too-which didn't take much convincing- he had just turned three at the time and they danced and danced! I love the innocence of children!

Bailia turns 6

September 20, 2007

My little spit fire that turned 6 going on 17 is such a blessing to our family. What a surprise it was to find out we were going to have another baby when our "baby" Jaden was only 5 months old-Jaden and Bailia are only 14 months apart and are the best of friends-even though my kids fight like cats and dogs-they couldn't imagine going a day without one another! Bailia was of course spoiled rotten for her birthday and loved every minute of it! She chose to go out to The Gun Barrel for her birthday dinner-we always tease her that when she starts dating that boys won't want to take her out because she has such expensive taste when it comes to food!! Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

Halloween 2007

Ok here goes nothing!!! I am officially going to try the blogging world! I am hoping that it will help me journal better?!? We will see. Here is my cute family Halloween 2007- Jaden was prince John-Bailia was a poodle girl- and Cooper was a cute little ghost-the kids all had a great time at their school party and trick-or-treating later that night. We accumulated WAY too much candy which made its way into the garbage little by little so the kids really didn't notice it disappear!
