So......

Well this is how I've felt this week! On Sunday our computer got a virus and it stole all my pictures :( I've lost this past years pictures! (because I procrastinated getting them developed and also getting a flash drive as a back up) Not my smartest move yet. But most of the important stuff birthdays, christmas, halloween, easter, kindergarten graduation are on my new best friend MY BlOG! Thank goodness for this small miracle. Yeah another lesson learned the hard way. Apparently that's the only way I learn. (Yes Mom you were right!) Now on to taking tonz of pictures to make up for the lost ones. DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Havin' a Good Time

We've been having lot of fun this summer already, and much more to come too. The kids have played and played and played. And at the end of the day they just crash! Usually in very unusual places. Especially Zoe as you can see in the pictures :)

They have been pirates and searched high and low for treasure!

We've had many tea parties :)

Like I mentioned before, fell asleep wherever!!!


For memorial day we hosted a very fun family cook out in our back yard. We will for sure be doing this much much more this summer. Yummy food and excellent company :)

And what is summer fun without STAR WARS BATTLES! Thank you uncle Morgan. You're the best to entertain these little monsters :)

They have pretty good moves don't they?

I had to put this on here. Morgan has to take breaks every now and again to text someone ;)

And most recently Zachary completed swimming lessons!
He did AWESOME this year. I told him this was the year he was going to take off and swim. I said he was to big for his tube and he needed to just DO IT! And he did! I'm so proud of him
way to go Zac :)

Kellin, Kelsey and Brandy are just great! The kids all love them and they are so good with them.



Zachary showed us how he can swim from the four to the four all by himself :) Kelsey told him "Zachary when your Mom comes on the last day to watch she will be so surprised she will faint!"
He got all worried and asked if I will be okay? (I think he was thinking about when I fainted on him and his Dad after I had the girls and we had to rush back to the emergency room! Not a fun memory for any of us.) So we reasured him I would be fine, just surprised he could swim so well ;)

And after swimming was over Grandma treated us to an ice cream (a much needed large coke for she and I) The girls were excited because they were feeling very left out because they wanted to swim in the pool too!

Wiggle Car Races

We have these awesome wiggle cars! You sit on them and wiggle the wheel back and forth and that makes you go forward, then when you want to reverse you spin the wheel around and wiggle it again and you go back wards. They are a blast and any one can do it.
The other day my little brother Morgan was bored and came to visit, and usually with him something entertaining always comes up :) He and Zac started racing, it was so funny! They would push each other over and run things over, they even weaved around the girls. Fun was had by all.

Now every day the kids want to know if Uncle Morgan's going to come race ;)

KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION :)

YAY! We have survived Kindergarten:) Apparently when you've learned the chicken dance you get you'r diploma. Just kidding, I say this because I believe at all kindergarten graduations they do this dance. ( I did when I was in kindergarten) Zachary's graduation was this past Thursday. It was cute and he did a very good job. I'm really proud of him. Kindergarten was a bit of a struggle this year for both of us. He survived getting his bee turned (getting in trouble) for flipping the lights on and off, (I blame this on the electrician father!) scaring other students in the bathroom (cool echo) yelling in the bathroom (again the echo) jumping off the swirly slide, and not going down on his bum (because it was fun he tells me :) and many other mischievious things. He was kicked out of school and had a fun parent/ teacher/ principle meeting ( like the second or third week of school ) But.... WE HAVE SURVIVED and Aunt Mannie you better watch out because first grade here we come!!!!!! (We're so excited ) Now on to fun things like SUMMER:) :) :)

Gotta Love T-Ball

T-Ball has been a lot of fun this year. I find myself coaching Zachary's team. Which has been very interesting. Zac was way excited, which made me happy :) Probably because I'm never able to go with him on school activities because of the girls. But so far I've been able to arrange for the girls to be taken care of while I help Zachary's team. This year we've decided he does best to throw with his left hand, and bat with his right. We need to get him a new mit. He was taking off his mit before he would throw the ball! Weird child, I can't figure him out ;)

Zachary was a very attentive first base man!

What a cheeser.

Part of our cute little team. Five of them were gone.

One, Two, Three, SWING!!!!!!

Way to go Zachary.

I can not win !

LITTLE S#%*S!

I can not win with these two. I'm very proud to have very smart kids. In fact I brag about it a lot. But there are some days I wish the weren't so quick!

Case in point: The loft.

They scoot the bar stool over and climb right up. AND WAVE HI!!!!!!!!

I'm done trying to save their sweet little heads from falling off of things. If they are so smart then they are on their OWN!

Mother's Day!

Cleaning and scrubbing can wait til tomorrow, for babies grow up we've learned to our sorrow, quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep, I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

What can I say I love being a Mom!
The ups the downs the good the bads. It's all I've ever wanted :) I hope all you Mom's had a wonderful Mother's day filled with all the things you love, because I sure did.
We went to St. George this Mother's day to see Jared's Dad on Saturday and his Mom on Sunday. Only Zachary got sick so we had to come home early on Sunday. Poor guy has the stomach flu again :( Any way we had fun at dinner and going to the park. I forgot my camera and left it at the room so I have no pictures ( I figured I would get lots on Sunday!) any way I'm sure Grandpa John took lots.
I'm so thankful for my Mom and what a wonderful woman she is. She has taught me a lot and still has to hold my hand on my journey through motherhood. I love you Mom.
