A summer must

When the days are hot, evenings a little hotter and the nights warm you must have popcyles.  So this night we had popcyles while we rode bikes, rode scooters and played outside. 

Sweet treats,

Morgan's 4th b-day party.

Morgan is FOUR !!!we celebrated with a party at the park

Almond cupcakes + cream cheese frosting +

 pink food coloring + park +  friends =

an perfect park party for a girl turning four.  It was a fun morning. We played at the park, opened presents, had cupcakes and juice.  After we stayed for the free lunch in the park.  I love seeing my kids have a fun birthday and getting to celebrate with friends.

Morgan and Jason having fun

Allen boys 

what a loving sister making Jason smile...

Morgan loved her birthday and it was perfect timing.  Trevor had already gone to Utah to start his job with the state in Vernal, Utah and we knew that we didn't have much time left to play with friends in Burley. 

Love you Morgan.  I love how you ...  snuggle, love your sheep blanket, have a sweet personality about you, are just precious, are quick to help, still take an occasionally nap, are just the perfect you.  I can't believe you are four already.  Love you my sweet little girl.

Wishes,

Morgan can ride a "big" bike

 Trevor got out Katie's old barbie bike and put on the training wheels for Morgan.  She loved it and was racing down the side walk with in a few tries.  Of course everyone had to ride.  Jason loves helmets even if he is not riding his bike.  Zach would still rather run than ride a bike but that will change some day.  It was fun to finally have nice weather to ride outside and get some of their energy out.

Wheelies,

Arizona - two

It was such a fun trip that we hated to see it end.  I love seeing all the cousins play together, swim together, Just Dance together, just be together.  I love that my children loved the time with their cousins and as soon as we got home were asking when we could go again.  Even with the the two day car trip... a definite do again VERY soon.  These are what make life good.

love

Arizona - first half

For the last week of school, we skipped it.  We went to Arizona to see cousins we haven't seen in years and Hailey was graduating from High School.  Crazy she is this old enough to graduate.  We had a blast and loved every minute of it.  We got to see Archer's end of the year performance, where there for Grace's 6th birthday, swam and swam and swam and lots of fun times too.  So here are pictures to help show all the fun we had.

                                              At Archer's end of the year program.

By the pool, we swam everyday and they absolutely loved it!!!

Fun in the bubble -  actually on the bubble.

Dancing

Jennifer can you open the can of baked beans... Yes, no problem. 

Well it turned into a problem.  Thanks to nurse Merri i was taken care of at home. 

Pressure, blessing, liquid band aids and Merri = one handles finger.

Katie's Birthday

Katie had her friends from school and church over for a few hours of fun.  They ran around outside (because it was a remarkably warm day for April) and had a blast.  We then made bags, had cupcakes and presents.  Katie had a great day and I can't believe she is nine already.  Where have the years gone.  They have seemed to just flow by so quickly that I don't remember enough of her growing up.  I feel I have not documented all the wonderful things she has done, has become... she is growing into a beautiful young women.  She makes wonderful choices, is a perfect Katie Elaine.  She is not perfect but she is perfectly her and that is perfect for me.  Love you Katie Bug and one day hopefully these pictures will surface but I have been having trouble with uploading and keeping pictures lately but I love you none the less.

Always my Katie Bug

So Sad

So Sad... my computer still won't upload my pictures, BOO!!!  I took my memory cards to walmart, first mistake, and had them make a cd of my pictures.  Who knew the only pictures that would come home on the cd were the ones I had printed.  I had hundreds more I didn't want in print that day but really wanted.  So once again walmart photo has failed me and taken pictures of my memories away. (They lost the hospital roll of film when we had Katie.)    So BOOOOO Walmart Photo I will not return for anything of importance again.  Our relationship was shaky to start with and now ---- well I just can't say where we stand.
