Christmas Day

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Happy Birthday to Jackson. He turned 9 years old yesterday. It seems like yesterday that he was a newborn baby, how could that be 9 years ago? From the beginning he was such a sweet mello easy going baby. He is such a sweetheart even now, he is so loving to me and to his sisters. I am so blessed to have him as my son. Last Friday we had a party and he invited 9 of his friends to come over for a "late over" it was alot of fun!!! We had pizza, played games, opened presents, watched a movie played the wii. I was so impressed by his friends. It made me so happy to know he has such great friends.

Rivalry Game!

The kids all decked out in their UTAH gear! Ready for the Big game!!

Dave & Jackson on the field after the game!

This year we had 2 season tickets to the Utah games. Most of the games I let Jackson go with Dave because it is hard to find anyone who wants to watch a baby for 6 hours. All year I had told Jackson he could probably go to the BYU vs. Utah game because I am definitely a fair weather fan!! Well it was nice weather and I was torn a little because my mom had offered to watch the kids. But in the end I decided that it was too big of a pain to take the kids to Logan and I couldn't disappoint Jackson. They went and had a great time. He was so excited and I was glad he was able to go. After the game they stormed the field and got some pictures with some of the players, and some of them gave Jackson some of their gear. We are so excited about the win a whole year of giving a hard time to all our BYU fan friends!!!

Pizza & Bowling - Good times!

Last saturday we went to my neice's birthday party at Fat Cats. It was so fun, most of my family was there and we took up 5 lanes. We had such a great time. I am so glad my kids are close to their cousins, I never was growing up.

Brinley had surgery!

On Tuesday Brinley had surgery at Primary Children's Hospital to have her tonsils and adnoids out. She has always snored very loudly and has had strep quite a few times this year. On Tuesday morning we got there at 8:00 am and we were back home all done by noon. That hospital is so great! I am so glad there is a hospital like that so close to us. They are so great with the kids there. While there we saw a few sad cases that just make your heart break, and make you so grateful for such healthy children. Brinley was such a brave girl and was so amazing she didn't cry once. When we got home and gave her the lortab for the pain, and about 20 minutes later she was buzzing all around the house. It hyped her up!! It was quite hilarious. She was running up and down the stairs, moving furniture, jumping, doing somersalts, etc. She is not normally such high energy so it was funny to see her that way. I am so grateful that everything went so well. She is such a little angel and I feel so blessed to have her as my daughter.

Back home - taking a nap

GO UTES!!!

Today we took Jackson, Ashlyn, & Brinley and went to the Utah - Colorado State game. Utes won 49 to 16. Dave's cousin Lauren babysat Payton for us. We had a great time and the weather was beautiful! We have season tickets, but we only have 2 so we have to usually decide who gets to go. So it was fun for us all to be able to go. The seats are pretty good too 21st row near the endzone. Thanks to Shannon and Brandon for letting us use your tickets!!

3 Months Old!

What a fun little girl!! She is such a happy baby and such a good one too!!

Jackson & Payton

Jackson is so protective and loving to his sisters.

I am so glad my girls have a big brother like I did.

Professional Pumpkin Pickers!!!

We had a very fun night last Monday picking out pumpkins.

Thanks for inviting us Uncle Mark, Aunt Amy, Ryker and Brecken.

Cast is Off & Flag Football

Ashlyn got her cast off this week. The doctor said it had healed great and she will not have to have surgery YEAH!!!! She was not real happy in this photo because it felt so weird. Her arm had been in that cast in a 90 degree angle for 4 weeks so it was a little bit of an adjustment for her. She still can't straighten it all the way. When they took the cast off we found out she had a nickle that had fallen in her cast at some point - it was pretty funny.

Jackson is playing flag football this year. It has been fun to watch. His favorite position to play is quarterback. Most of the kids on his team are kids from his baseball team so he has had a lot of fun seeing his buddies again. Lets hope the weather stays pleasant for a couple more weeks!!

2 months old

It is amazing how fast kids make the time go by. The more you have the faster the time goes too I think. I can't believe that Payton is 2 months old today. She has brought so much love, fun, excitement, joy, and patience to our family. I love seeing how each of the kids love her and she loves them too. She is starting to smile which is so much fun. I don't know what we did without her!!! Our life has been so crazy since she was born, but we have enjoyed every minute of it. Well we could have done without a few of the doctors visits!!!

Welcome Baby Whitney & Payton's Blessing

Congrats to Kim and Rich on the birth of their baby girl on Thursday Sept 4th. She is so adorable and has tons of hair as you can see from the photos!!
