On the 3rd day of Summer Vacation

Dallin decided to give himself a haircut, even though Mom has told him repeatably no one should ever cut their own hair. SO . . .


Daddy shaved it all off.

He was a little surprised.

This is going to be a very long summer but it should make for some good blog posts if nothing else.

I will try to keep my scene of humor and my camera ready.

Love you all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHANE!

Shane turned 4 this past week. I am amazed at how time flies so quickly.
He is still super cute and loves to snuggle with me. He loves his big brothers and playing games. He is really smart and I love the little things he says that catch me off guard so often. He is a sweet big brother and loves his little brother they play very well. We will be looking at pre-school's for next year and he is very excited to be going to school like Jared and Dallin. He knows a few of his letters already and how to count to 10. He is one smart cookie. He is always singing a song as he plays, his favorite is "Teach me to Walk"
This year we didn't do anything really spectacular for his birthday. We got him a cake and had a mini party with his cousins on Friday, then another on Monday his real birthday. He loves all his presents and wants to go fishing for his present from Mom & Dad. We will go soon.

German Chocolate Cake Yummy!

Presents! ! ! !

A microphone for singing our songs

Batman Imaginex Car that goes by its self.

We went to Old Chicago for Pizza and milkshakes. Per the Birthday Boys request.

Shane picked out this Cake, he loves Cars.

Mothers Day

For Mothers Day we decided to go to the Sylvan Dale Ranch for a picnic. It was a beautiful day and perfect for a day out. Apparently we weren't the only ones that had the same idea. There were a lot of people out. The Ranch was offering free horse carriage rides so we took the boys. Then we walked around a bit.

I feel so blessed this Mothers Day as I think of my wonderful boys. Yes we have our trials but all in all the Lord has blessed me with 4 beautiful little boys and a great husband whom I love and adore. Jared and Dallin made me some priceless gifts at school, I love them.

I was also able to talk with my Mom and Grandma and tell them that I love them and appreciate them.

I'm not good at writing the things that I feel. I am much better at taking pictures, so . . .

Having some trail mix as we wait for the horse ride.

Big horse.

Horses at pasture. This is what beautiful means.

This is the Canyon. We live 2 miles from here. I am one lucky girl.

Liam my sweet little boy.

The trees are blooming, Spring is here.

Dallin & Shane walking, A rare moment when they are actually getting along. :o)

Little brother pushing two big brothers on the swing.

Now this is the way to travel. Liam with his little legs just couldn't keep up with his brothers.



I just realized that I am in none of the pictures taken on Mothers Day. Oh Well. :o)
I hope all you had a wonderful day.
Love, Christina
