Blog Slacker #2

Yes, I remember I promised I would be better at keeping up with my blog and I had every intention of doing so.....and then our computer crashed.....dun dun duuuun! Thankfully our new one is working great!
So here it goes, another 3 month catch up with Bob and Britt and kids!
April:
Soccer! In Utah soccer season starts at the end of March and ends in May. Craziness I say! We had a few games with really nice weather but Daisey and Isaac played quite a few in the rain, snow and hail!
I don't have pictures of them wearing sweats under their uniforms and snow hats on their heads but believe me, it was cold!
May:
School let out at the beginning of May, it's been a long summer!
The teacher gifts were all Daisey's idea. She wanted to plant flowers and paint "Thank you for helping me GROW" on the pot. How cute is that? We actually painted the pots with chalkboard paint and the kids wrote the sentiment and their names on them. We added foam handprints with their names on them. Maggie insisted on giving "her teacher" one too. That would be Grandma Diane because she goes to preschool at her house. I think they turned out really cute! I should have made one for myself!
Their teachers this year have been awesome! We'll miss them!
Mother's Day Flowers!
The kids made sachets for their grandma's from a tutorial we got here.
Robert had a birthday and joined me in the big 3-0! This is him on his birthday, a model of maturity.
June:
New nephews!
Congratulations to Zack and Erika on their little one, Zaydan!
And congratulations to Nicole and Aaron on their little one, Daniel!
Aren't they sweet? Awww.....
Look who got a retainer! She's very excited about it!
Isaac went to a Star Wars party. This is what a Jedi with a mohawk looks like! Oh yeah!
And snow in June! WHAT?!!
Remember our new suburban? We love our suburban! Bertha is her name. Maggie calls her
"Su-Bertha". It's very cute! Anyway, 1 suburban named Su-Bertha +1 tired daddy getting out of the suburban to open the garage door + forgetting to put the suburban in park =
Oops! Thank goodness for insurance!
We went and saw Shrek 4 in 3D. It was a cute pic and I LOVE this pic of my family in 3D glasses!
Daisey has been growing her hair out for years but decided she wanted to chop it off to her chin. She looks so big!
Before:
After:
Father's Day! They gave him an awesome handprint fish card (instructions) and a tool belt full of cool "daddy things" including a flashlight, batteries, nails, a pencil, a notebook and lots of candy! Basically I let them go crazy at Family Dollar!
They sure love their Daddy!
And last, but not least, new cows! Last year's were Tom and Jerry. The year before the cows were named Pinky and The Brain. This year the kids have named them Ren and Stimpy! Haha!

Chickens and Bunnies and Bears!

That's right! Baby Animal Days had bears this year! The kids were super excited about the bears. Then they were super disappointed when they realized that they couldn't hold them! The bears were very sleepy and very cute! This is the best bear picture I got. Look at his little tongue hanging out! Don't you just want to squeeze him?
As always there were chicks and ducks and bunnies to cuddle. They pet the cows and sheep and ponies. And Mommy fell in love with the cutest little piggy you've ever seen! If Daddy hadn't been there we probably would have come home with Little Miss Potbelly!

The pony rides are always a favorite! Isaac was a little disappointed that he had to take off his cowboy hat and wear a helmet instead. I have to say he still made a great little cowboy! Maggie's face turns to sheer delight when she sits on the saddle. She's still a little nervous about it though and wants her daddy by her side. Daisey always looks natural on a horse. Just watching her ride make me want to move to the country and buy a ranch. Then I decide that sounds like a lot of work and riding horses once or twice a year will have to do.
As we were leaving I had to snap this picture because this is what Spring in Utah looks like. Snow and flowers....both at the same time. Pretty huh?

Blog Slacker Catch Up

Yes, I've been bad. I've neglected my blog baby and I apologize.
So, today is what I call "the last 3 month blog catch up". Enjoy!
February
Snowman!

I turned 30! That's really, really, really old...just ask my kids!
Look what Robert and my dad made me for my birthday! Fantabulous!

100 Day at school, 100 hair clips, 100 dots
Happy Valentine's Day!


Val's Happy Birthday Sock/Gum wreath!


March
We went to visit my sweet Grandma Roush in the hospital. She was in a terrible car accident but she's a trooper and is improving every day.
We love you Grandma!

After nearly 3 years of waiting our good friends, Brynn and Eric finally got the call that their adoption process was final. Their family is complete at last and we're so happy for them!

Welcome home Omar and Marisol!


April
Happy April Fool's Day! The kids like to play jokes all day long! I like to fool them with food and this year we had chicken nuggets, corn with mashed potatoes and gravy? April Fools!It's ice cream and caramel!

Mother Nature's April Fool's Prank! After a week of beautiful Spring weather we woke up to this!

Our niece, Kristi married her sweetheart, Taylor! She looked absolutely beautiful! I don't have a picture of the happy couple yet. But, I do have a picture of the clock we gave them. :)

Easter!











We thought it was about time we traded our little Neon in for something bigger for our growing kids. So we sold Celine Neon and bought a Suburban. It was kind of a bittersweet moment when I watched our Neon drive away but we're enjoying the Suburban.


Look who got glasses! Doesn't he look distinguished?

Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" was awesome!

What's better than spending the morning with your honey in a hot spring pool of relaxation?
Nope, I got nothin...
