Billy Ray Rocks!

Ok, so it is Halloween time and my hubby, Jason, is always a good sport and gets into the spirit of the holiday. This year Savannah wanted to be Hannah Montana and so Jason decided (actually we decided for him) that he was going to be Billy Ray Cyrus. You have to watch the video below, I promise - it will make you smile for the rest of the day!

Ok, I'm really sad I can't turn it so you can see it right side up. You'll have to turn your head sideways to get the full effect. I should have held the camera the other way when I was recording. I can't figure out how to flip it. Anyone know? I am special.

She's Home!

Well, she finally made it home! Thursday my little sister, Jana, came home from the Eugene, OR mission. I can’t believe that is has already been 18 months. We got to go to the St. George airport and welcome her home. Jason and I barely made it there in time. In fact, the plane landed before we even got there. There was a livestock truck that wrecked on the freeway and we got stopped up in that mess for a bit. We did get there in time to see her get off the airplane. These pics didn’t turn out great. The sun was shining and ruined all my plans for good pictures. We are glad to have Jana back home! We missed her a lot!

The Whole Fam!

Aunt Jana, I am so excited to meet you!

As you can see on the right hand side of my screen I am counting down the days until my little sister, Janalee, will be home from the Eugene, Oregon mission. She will be flying into the St. George Airport on Thursday evening. We can hardly wait for her to meet Leah!

Ava's first field trip

Ava had her first field trip last friday with Mrs. Woolsey's preschool class. They went to the fire station on 800 west and to the new safety house. It was really cute and a good presentation for the little tikes. I was glad she was able to go and learn about fire safety.
They even got to sit in the big fire truck. They could have probably fit their whole class on that front seat! This was everyone's favorite part was seeing the fire trucks.
Ava and her best friend, Ashlin.
This "firefighter" was actually one of the dad's who came with his son to the field trip. They said that once they put all of their gear on it weighs about 60 lbs. Yikes! Glad I'm not a firefighter.

She did it, she rolled over!

My little Leah girl rolled over for the first time today. I walked in the kitchen to put something away and when I came back this was how I found her - she wasn't too impressed, but after the first time she just couldn't stop! She rolled over 5 times today. Awww, she is getting so big!

Autumn Leaves Are Falling!

We drove up to Cedar Mountain this afternoon to see all the beautiful fall leaves. First we stopped up at kids pond and the kids talked us into letting them fish for a little bit. I just happened to have their poles and tackle box in the back of the van so we let them. I was glad they didn't catch anything today! Fishing wasn't really in the plans. After kids pond we drove up by the "C". I was sad because all the red leaves are gone and it snowed up on the mountain this weekend. The yellow leaves were still pretty though. I love Cedar Mountain!
Jason told the kids to do a crazy dance - they have so much fun when he is around. Fishing at Kids pond.

The kiddos and me!
Can you tell I really like pictures?

Cassie, I finally made a blog!

Ok Cassie, it has taken me this long, but I finally figured out (I think) how to make a blog. This will be a fun place to keep updated with my friends and share cute pics of my kids. Hope you all enjoy!



Savannah -

Savannah is in first grade. She is such a sweet girl. She just lost her first tooth. Here are some pics below of the joyous occasion.

This was before Jason pulled her tooth. She was a little scared. She even made us say a prayer.

Nurse Jason got some lidocaine to put on her right before he pulled the tooth.Screaming!
She was finally happy when it was all the way out! Nurse Jason looks like Charlie Manson in this pic!



Ava -
Ava is a sweet 4-year-old. She is in preschool and loves it. Everyone that meets Ava loves her. She misses Savannah when she is at school. They are best friends. Here are some pics of Ava on her first day of school.


Isn't she cute?!?

Meet Baby Leah -

This sweet little girl was born June 27. She is such a sweet addition to our family. We are so happy she is here! Everywhere I go people comment about how much hair she has. That is the first thing they say "Look at all that hair!" I love it!



Freakin' Cute!
