Pre-School Graduation

So now that you have graduated from Pre-school what do you want to be when you grow up? "Um... I think a Dinosaur!"

Look who's 8!

Look who is 8 years old! Wow! It has been an exciting month planning my oldest boys
8th Birthday Celebration. We had to change the baptism date a couple of times to work with daddy's work schedule but we did it. It turned out to be such a fun experience. We were able to plan a private baptism that turned out so great. It was a lot of work but worth it. We are so proud of his decision to be baptised and he is such a great example to his little brother and sister. He truly has always had such a special spirit about him and now with the Holy Ghost as a companion.... watch out! He will be a great missionary someday. We had a big celebration after with all of our family in our backyard. It was such a great day. Happy 8th Birthday!

Women of Steel Triathlon

Swim 300 meters - Bike 11 miles - Run 3 miles - Finished 2:03

Ok....so we have trained for months; swimming, biking, running, working out, getting babysitters, pushing kids in strollers, getting up early,leaving kids and family's to train for this triathlon...you get my drift. Anyways, the day before the big day I get deathly sick! Really, really, really sick. I lost 5 pounds just on Friday. Well, do or die I decided to risk it all and go anyways. Thanks to all my cute friends that pressured me into doing this in the first place, offered up the most sincere prayers for me. So with no energy, nothing in my body, I went and finished the race and live to tell about it! Wow! It truly was a miracle and I am grateful that I got to complete the race. I guess it was all in the journey of it...but had I not been able to complete the journey would have made me sad.

Appendicitis!

Our little "big" boy got sick over the weekend; throwing up, fever, ect. I had a funny feeling that it might be appendicitis because those are so commonly misdiagnosed. But the Doctor talked me out of it and said it might just be the flu. I went all weekend with a sick little boy, DJ was out of town. Finally on Monday I got another feeling that something was wrong so I took him to the Dr.'s and said this is what I think it is....mother's intuition!They sent us to the hospital for an ultra sound and as soon as they did it we went straight to the ER for an emergency appendectomy! He did so good and is such a tough little kid. Good job buddy! Really, who needs your appendix anyways!

Look who is 5!

Happy Birthday to you! All he wanted to do for his 5th birthday is take some friends to the park and ride scooters. He had a Star Wars cake and donuts. We played some games and opened presents. Big brother gave him that awesome spiderman costume! WOW! We went and had pizza for dinner and went home. What a fun birthday! Happy 5th birthday to my little boy.
