Ditch Day For Mom And Boys!!!AWESOME

Ok, so every year I try to surprise my kids with a special day. They have no idea when its coming or what were doing! This year I told them this morning that I was picking them up at school at 11:00 am for a special day. All morning they asked what are we doing, where are we going? and so on and on and on lol... Sean told them we were going to the DENTIST. Which we wern't but it was funny. So I picked them up and first I took them to lunch at Native New Yorker, they love wings... Then the Surprise, we got Spring Training Tickets from a friend for the Kansas city Royals vs. The Texas Rangers game... IT WAS SO FUN!! We really had a great time, the players were awesome and took pictures with them and autographs it was just so fun! We had great seats, a little warm since were hitting the nice summer wheather (NOT) but then around the 3rd inning we snuk over to the shadey seats and oh it was so much better. You have to watch the Surprise Dancers that check your tickets for your seats, they are like police men with a taser gun. But it was a wonderful day, one the boys I know will remember and I will too...

Surprise pride help a neighbor day.

These are random pictures through out the morning

We had our Surprise pride day and it was a great success. For as long as we have been living in Surprise 10 years now, they have done a Surprise pride day. The boys so look forward to this day, and it is so heart warming to know that they like to do things for other people. We painted houses ,pulled weeds, mowed lawns, removed garbage,trimmed bushes, it was a busy day!It started off with the Bishopric breakfast and it was also a great success. Heres some pictures of the Rewarding Day!

My babies in Colorado

O my gosh! I miss these guys so much. I wish they lived here sooo bad.Is Carson not the cutest little guy you have ever seen? That boy just melts my heart! Jason and Nikki produced one cute baby! But then look at them their adorable. These pictures were taken on Valentines 2009 and she sent them to us. It seems like in every picture they send, baby Carson is always laughing or smiling. I am dretting the day Jason leaves to Afganistan, he loves that little Carson so much. We will just have to pray for his safe return. Nikki is a good little mama,you can tell by how happy Carson is. I love my little family up their in Colorado!

Family Snow Day

Ok this was the best trip ever. Last minute we decided to go to the snow,found a cheap rate at the Comfort Inn and went for 2 days. We havent had a family vacation in so long, I said you know what we are out of here, and OFF we went, FLAGSTAFF here we come! We had a wonderful time. The boys on Friday snow-boarded for the first time at Sanfrancisco Peaks, even Sean did-he couldn't walk for TWO days but he did it. They all actually did really well. It was scarey to see my boys on the ski lift, but they acted like they were Pros. By the time 4pm came in the afternoon my boys were beat and ready to go relax in the hot bath and eat a good meal.Neither one of them had ever slept so good in their life.I love times like this when it is so spontanious and you end up having the best time ever. I have to say it was actually one of my favorite family vacations,second to the BEST which was over Thanksgiving at Coronado Island in San Diego,that was a fun trip too! I think any time you can just get away for a few days is Wonderful..I am so grateful for my family, and thank my Heavenly Father everyday for them!

Logan Turns 11

I make the cake by myself... I was so proud of that little football field cake..

Oh my Gosh it's so crazy to think my baby is 11! Time with these precious babies is going by way to fast. I wish I could just turn back the clock... We celebrated his Birthday on his actual birthday Jan 23rd and he had about 15 of his friends over, we played football and had a huge jumper in our front yard. He had a really good time. Logan is such a joy to our family,we don't know what we would do without him.. He keeps us laughing and crying at the same time.
