HAPPY HALLOWEEN

SEVEN YEARS OF BLISS

WOW the last seven years has flown by...probably because time flies when your having fun!!!
I have been so blessed to be married to Darin. He is such a great husband and father. I've never had so much fun, laughed so hard or been happier. Being married to this guy and being a mother to his children is what it's all about and way better than I ever imagined.
Thanks for all the great memories sweetie.

Cute Kids

Just some fun pictures I took.
The background...wrapping paper.

I love baby pix...so fun!

Sweet Jason

Rebecca and James were good sports...aren't they sooo dang cute!

The kids got their BYU gear on and were playing outside...I love Becca's cheer outfit. Those kids have so much fun playing together it's great. Truly a wonderful time for them to bond and become great friends....I hope they are old enough to always remember the good times they had. It's sad that someday they won't be close enough to play all the time.

OATS, FLOUR, & RICE...OH MY!!!

Saturday the kids were cooking up some fun ..... so they thought. In the storage room we found four little white ghosts, a plume of white dust and a snow covered floor ready for skiing. Oh the fun they must of had!!! Just think about it .... the pouring of white fluffy flour from one bucket to another, mixing and matching white and brown rice, adding a dash of oats, and stirring. The imaginary meals they must of cooked up in their new white chef's kitchen. And then after a hard day's work... recreating in their white snow field by throwing snow balls at each other (I wonder who won) and cross country skiing through 4 inches of fresh powder between buckets of flour and bottled water as if they were passing through trees in a forest. Well that's what I would do... I wonder what they were thinking, I asked but they didn't give me a straight answer, "just I don't know."

Kids have such wonderful imaginations don't they...too bad us adults have grown up and have gotten too old to play such games and think of such fun. Oh the joys of childhood, no worries, right...oh until it's time to get back to reality, clean up and do jobs to pay back their $100 adventure to replace the two bucket of rice (rice is really expensive now), 2 buckets of flour and oats.

I didn't get mug shots of my kids because I hurried them off to the bath....

Chores for all

I think it was more fun than work to wash the windows...they really enjoyed spraying the Windex and washing it off.

The baseboards however were a lot of work, Cameron hated that job.

Oh, I think I learned my lesson too....Lock the Storage Door!!!!

In the moment I didn't want to take pictures but I'm glad I did. It's good we can laugh at it now(sigh).

Another Photo Shoot

I've been waiting all summer for Jason to be able to sit so I could take pictures by this cool blue truck...I want to blow up a huge picture and put it on canvas for their bedroom. I'll try to edit a few more and post them shortly.

"Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments.{or if I could enter here-the basket-head mother syndrome} She said: “The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. . . . I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less”(Loud and Clear [2004], 10–11).

Cameron's First Day of School

Cameron is our handsome 4 year old who loves to be the life of the party and make everyone laugh.

I hope he makes his new teacher Miss Julene more happy than frustrated. The great thing about preschool is that there is no pressure just lots of fun...reading....music....laughter....art....playing in the backyard....watching plants grow....learning to be nice.....learning to play well with eachother and no fighting....eating healthy snacks....field trips....friends!1st day of school....handsome as ever...I love the red hair...how did we get so lucky to have a red head?

"Can't be late hurry...hurry...hurry...." This will probably what we say every Tues and Thurs at 8:30 a.m.

Bye boys....
Dad is the lucky one to take Cameron to school ....I'm sad, I think I'll miss my little punkin' boy.
(I know it's only preschool, I don't know how I'll do when he goes to kindergarten.)

Aunt Tammie, left, is the helper this year...Miss Julene, in the middle, is Cameron's teacher ...and Aunt Carrie, on the right, was last years tutor. This year she gets off to be a mommy to sweet baby David.
