Welcome the chicks!!!

Meet the newest members of the family! Yes we are raising chicks!! They will one day go live at the Kaysville house, but until they start laying eggs they call the basement home. The kids love them so much and are super excited! Dasiy the dog wants to eat them! Hopefully they will love their temporary home and soon be enjoying their real home in Kaysville, outside. I can't wait to eat the eggs because they are WAY better!

Keeping kids busy!

I thought I should show you all what it is we have been up to! Well Ryan is busy playing indoor soccer and loving it! He loves defense the most. He takes after his dad with that one, because I always had to be the one making the goals! Aubrey, well lets just say she is obsessed with ballet!!! Everyday we have to wear tights and a dress and walk around the house in our ballet clothes and shoes. Thanks to her cousins she has a pair for play and a pair for class! She is doing great and she is going to be a sugar cube in her recital in June! They are putting in Beauty and the Beast!( they dance to the song sugar, sugar!) I will post more pictures of dance when I go in and get a couple of good ones! Spencer is busy with Clayton Productions, no pictures because we do not go and watch him. They really don't like you to and there is no where to watch. He is loving the singing and dancing and he practices at home and he will be preforming a number of times in late May and early June! He finally gets to show off some of that stage-fright!!! Yea right! Emily is busy eating tables!! This was the other night at dinner, while the rest of us were eating she thought she should too! She is getting so much fun, she giggles at everyone and has a great big smile! She is working on her rice cereal (when I remember to give it to her) but she can hold her own bottle now so that is just so much easier and less messy!!!! ( you moms have all been there so don't laugh). Tyler is staying way to busy for all of us to keep up with so just imagine him on some crazy beach somewhere relaxing and that will put him as far away from the truth as possible. Business is good so that makes him busy!!! I am grateful to be mom of this crazy bunch and we are only going to get busier so heres to moms everywhere being pulled in a million different directions. Life is good!

Girls Trip!!! Washington DC

So my mom had one request before she came home from her mission and that was to have ALL of her girls come out and visit!!! I guess that was not that hard of a request to fullfill!! Vacation, No Kids, No cooking and No husbands!!! OK! So we went! We spent a small amount of time sightseeing and sometime in the wax museum I hung out with a few of the Presidents there! Breanne got cozy with George! We went to a movie and ate a ton of popcorn and treats! We went to the culture event and had wonderful food cooked by Daddy! Wow have I missed that! I can not wait to get invited over on Sundays again! We also spend plenty of down time talking and laughing together. Tons of fun was had and I made me so grateful for loving parents and loving sister that I know will always be there as sister should!!

Just hanging out!

Emily has turned into such a great little girl. This is her laughing and showing off her red hair. It has not gone away yet!!! I am just waiting for it to grow a little longer! Aubrey loves to play next to Emily and show her how to do things! I love my little girls!

Daisy and her friends!

Our babies

Aubrey
Spencer
Ryan
Emily
As time goes quickly by I thought I need to take more pictures of Emily. You always have a ton of your first child and then it gets worse from there. I am trying really hard. However today I wanted to reflect on all my babies.. Here is a shot of each of them around 4 months old. They are little clones. Everyone says that we have a mold and that is the truth... I love each of my babies and want to cherish each day I have been given to be with them...

Emily blessing pictures

Thanks to Shilane, I was able to get some wonderful shots of Emily in her hand made blessing dress. (thanks Nana Dallas) I loved the dress and love looking at my daughters all dressed in white and can not wait for the other white dresses they some day will wear!
