Red Cliffs


My mom, sister, brother and I decided to take the kids and head up to Red Cliffs for a picnic and let the kids play. It ended up being a super fun day for the kids. We brought our neighbor boy with us to help entertain the kids. First thing the kids ran straight for the creek. They played a bunch just running up and down the creek. We ate lunch and then did the small hike up to the pools. I think the kids had so much fun! (these pictures are way out of order)

Collin pretty much sat on the sidelines the whole time and just watched the other kids play. He's a bit of a chicken when it comes to water.

Camden isn't much of a camera kid so he would only give me this silly smile.

Collin zonked out on the way back from the hike. Yeah, that's me that carried him the whole hike!

Camden wanted to cool off his head in the water.

JUST DANCE!

Ashtyn is finishing up dance for the Spring session and she has done so good! At first she was super shy and hated parent days. She would just cry and wouldn't dance but now she is so much braver! I took some pictures of her out in our yard in her costume. The costume and makeup is definitely the best part of dance for her!

(These pictures are no professional, and I tried to photoshop them. A couple turned out a bit crazier than I intended. But I am learning!)







I can't wait for her recital on Saturday. Hopefully I can get some cute pictures!

GUESS WHAT?!!

Most of you already know...but we are havin' another BABY!! It's a little insane to think we will have 4 kids but I suppose we will survive. I am due Nov. 17, right with my other 3 kids, halloween, and my birthday. It is gonna be CRAZY that time of year, every year, but should be fun, too!
So far my pregnancy has been going good. I miscarried back in November so I have been super nervous that it would happen again, but so far, so good! I am almost 14 weeks and finally starting to feel much better! I was REALLY sick this time, especially from weeks 6-10, then it's slowly gotten more manageable. Thank goodness for Unisom and B6. It has literally saved me. One day I didn't take it and I was so sick and threw up a ton. It was miserable! It's good to be sick though, cause it means I am still prego, right?! Anyways, that's our big news so everyone pray for us to have a GIRL. I am dying for a girl and we really can't fit 3 boys in our tiny bedrooms, so it just makes sense. We will be happy with either boy or girl......but really it has to be a girl, right?

Easter 2011

It's about time that I update this blog, eh? Well, we had a fun easter this year. I didn't take very many great pictures but here are a few I did get! The weekend before easter Coral Canyon does a huge easter egg hunt. Our kids really had fun even though it lasted about 1 minute flat!

On your mark, get set, go!!

Ashtyn and Camden Easter morning after their big hunt! They loved that the easter bunny hid both plastic filled eggs PLUS our homemade eggs!
