Livin' it up

"The days are long and the years are short."

This is the story of my life with kids.  They make life worth living however, I'm grateful for them.  Here are some randoms from the last month or so...spring break, hair cuts, friends, scouts, etc. 

We are truly blessed. 

Ethan's 2nd grade school picture.  He's so handsome.  And he wears his USU sweatshirt almost every day to school.  I didn't buy any pictures this year, but this was the cutest one! 

Alex and Triston got haircuts.  Alex's was most dramatic.  Cute boys!

A boy and his cat!

Ethan's lemon tree produced three lemons this year and made delicious lemonade. 

I've really, really, really been missing my mom and Vickie this past month.  I can't snap out of it. 

Jackson, Alex, Triston and Ethan doing Meditation?! Yes they are!

My little bobcat is almost done with his wolf requirements.  

He loves scouts and I'm enjoying being his leader.

Jackson, Ellory, Jada, Ethan and Tanner and Jackson's spring break party. 

Kedzie got to ski one run this year.  We'll try for more next year.  She's awesome. 

Burt chillin' with his tongue hanging out!

As the kids have aged, the little kid playground had to go.  We can now roast hotdogs and marshmallows in our own backyard with the touch of a button

Travis wearing Kedzie's glasses! I love this man so much. 

Spring Break at Chuck E Cheese's.  It's tradition!

Cleaning out the closet is also a tradition. 

Another year until we get to go into the Ft. Collins Temple, but it's coming along so nicely!

The Ft. Collins Museum of Discovery was a lot of fun

Soccer on Saturdays is probably my happiest time of the week these days.  My boys are good and they are happy and it's beautiful and sunny.  It's just so much fun.

She's growing up and she's beautiful and wonderful and kind and caring.  

I just can't believe I get to be her mom.  I'm so lucky!

Karen went to China last month and bought Kedzie this amazing costume.  She wore it all afternoon singing Chinese songs that she's learned in choir.  She was so thrilled with the gift.  It's beautiful.
