Happy Birthday to me!!!

I always think your birthday is just another day, but the people that love you sure make it a great one!!!

Yesterday I turned 29, scary I know!

I went to lunch at Fredricos with my mom and got to do a little shopping, while my dad babysat the kids. It was a good time. Thanks mom and dad.

Then for dinner Kirby and the boys took me to Olive Garden. My all time favorite place to eat! It was so fun. I was spoiled with gifts and extra special attention but the best gift is my little family. I am so grateful for that gift each and everyday. I Love you guys!

I am a lucky wife and mommy!

No Brakes!!!

Kirby giving every ones bike a tune up.

Ready to venture down the hill!!!

Sunday after church, we had planned a long awaited bike ride to grandma and papa's house. Kirby and I both have children seats attached to our bikes so of course Lacey would be in one and in my mind Rusty would ride in the other. Bryce has no choice but to be a big boy on his bike! (Which he was totally good with!) But, Rusty insisted on ridding to grandma's on his own bike with training wheels! So we started from our house. I know what were we thinking!?!

Bryce I guess, got in a panic and forgot to use his brakes! He peddled forward instead of back! Ahhhh, he came down the hill full speed out of control! At that moment I felt so helpless watching him but unable to jump off my bike because Lacey was behind me.. So what happened you ask???

Well, Daddy to the rescue!! Kirby grabbed Bryce's bike just in time and saved him!!! Amazingly enough it didn't slow him down he wiped the tears from his eyes and jumped on his bike without a minutes hesitation!

We did make it to grandma and papa's with only one crash from Bryce and Rust, and ditching Rusty's bike in Franklin! It was all in all very enjoyable! Next time we venture to grandma's we will be a little more prepared..

Papa ended up driving us home with our bikes in the back of the truck. Thank goodness!

What a great adventure!! We look forward to doing it many more times, so heads up grandma and papa!!!

That Time Again

Great fun, I'm not sure why Rusty's shirt was off. Silly boy!!!

Bryce and Rusty showing off their flashy eggs!!! Rusty showing his tonsils! Wish he would do that for the doctor!:)

I can't believe how fast the years go by. Easter is just 2 days away! For the last week the boys have been counting down and begging to color Easter eggs. So tonight I cleaned up dinner and we colored eggs. It was fun. I must still be a kid at heart because I had to color one of my own, the boys thought it looked like a speckled frog! It was green with red speckles. They have great imaginations! It was such a good time.

HAPPY EASTER!!!

To Smart!

This is one of Lacey's cute things. She's a little smarty! Moms can say that right?! If she hears someone say bye, whether it's on the phone or at the door she gets her little dainty wave going! She thinks she is so big!! Kirby captured this video the other night. She is definitely a girl, she is already multi-tasking. Climbing the stairs and waving!!!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub! (3 in the Tub!!!)

Bath time has been a little crazy. Since Lacey loves bathing and splashing she doesn't want to miss out on tubby time with her brothers! So with a wet mommy and 3 clean children later, everyone is happy!:) Bryce and Rusty are so good and patient with their little sis. Almost to good, she gets anything and everything she wants by a simple high pitched squeal!!! The doctor always says you can't spoil them the first year, so hopefully were safe for 1 more month. It's just a lot of LOVE!!!

One of my favorite things is to bath the kids, lotion them up, pull their jammies out of the warm dryer, dress them, wrap them in a cozy blanket, and give them some mommy attention one at a time in the rocking chair. They all love to be pampered and feel special to get mom all to themselves.. Nothing better.

Spring?!

For everyone that lives by me, it sure can be confusing if spring is EVER going to come! We were outside enjoying the weather a few days ago and BAM, we were hit with snow again.. Here is a picture of my tulips! The poor things are probably confused if it was the wrong time to grow!

So for now we will keep on waiting for those summer days to come. We are definitely ready!!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Fun times with the kids!

This picture doesn't do it justice but it was yummy, promise!

Lacey enjoying herself at the park!

Bryce and Rusty showing me how they can pump!

We have had such a great time celebrating green day! Monday for family night I made a pretty good dinner, I have to admit! Baked chicken, baked potatoes with green sour cream, and steamed broccoli. The kids thought is was so cool eating a green potato!:) Even though it was a day early! We even got to enjoy our sweet little cousin, Kylee, what a cutie!

Then on the real day we took off to Logan with some friends and ate lunch at Cafe Rio and after got to enjoy a wonderful day at the park! It was the first time this year, does that mean spring is here?!? We had a fun time in the sun. Can't wait to spend everyday outside. We sure did enjoy it!

10 Year Annivarsary!!!

Kirb threatened me not to put any pictures of just him, but I couldn't resist! Sorry babe:) Love this picture. Bryce and Rusty giving daddy a workout!

Say cheese!!! Mommy and Lacey did swim, but Lacey was not real fond of it! So it didn't last long.

What a great ride we have been on for the last 10 years! We are loving every minute of it! The big day was actually March 12. I couldn't stop thinking about our wedding day and how much we have learned, grown,(in the gospel) and changed. All for the good. Our marriage truly gets better everyday. I love the man I married!

So to celebrate, we decided it would be a family affair. We went to Logan and stayed in the Crystal Inn. The boys adored the elevators and of course the swimming pool. We decided to make a pie run around 9 o'clock that night and we each got our own piece of pie! (yummy) It was a great little excursion.

No, it was not romantic, or a second honeymoon that's for sure, but we love to celebrate with our kids. Their were some years we wondered if we would ever get to have a little family on earth. They are each such a miracle and a blessing that was so greatly wanted. We are so blessed...

Yes, we will still have a little getaway all by ourselves. So get ready grandma!!

I am so grateful for my husband and couldn't survive a day with out him! He keeps me going. Along with our sweet kids. I am so grateful for the priesthood in our home and all the blessings we have seen right before us through it. The gospel is a great part of our lives. Kirby is such and great example, husband, and daddy! I Love You, babe.

Tooth Fairy Time

What the heck! My children are growing and changing right before my eyes!! Bryce is not even 5 and a half and lost his first tooth!! How do children grow so fast? The other night we were eating taco salad and Bryce chomped on a chip wrong, I guess, and it made his gums bleed.

The next morning Bryce said, "Mom my tooth just popped!" A few minutes after that he was holding it in his hand! He was so excited about the tooth fairy coming and wanted to brush it so it was shiny for her!!! I think he made out pretty good with his first tooth. He got 5 bucks! He was so excited and couldn't wait to tell everyone. He said make sure you blog me so everyone can see how big I am. He is already trying to pry out another tooth so he can get even more money! So I guess the tooth fairy better be ready with some cash!!!

OH BABIES!!!

Here is our momma cat. (That's her name) She came to our house as a stray little kitten and has definitely blossomed into a big cat! Growing up I had cats that would have babies all the time and I think it is a good thing to let your children see. The boys are so excited about having little baby kitties. Last night we found a good sized box and made mom cat a little house and we even put her favorite rug in it. So we shall see in the next few days (I think) some little kitties!

If you would like one let me know it will be on your doorstep in a couple months!!!:)
