April Haircuts, Block Parties & Birthdays!

You know when you think your child finally understands something (like using scissors on hair) and then you wake up to this?

March Family Madness!

March is a really busy month for our family. It starts with our anniversary. We throw in a lot of family birthdays, Spring Break and end with my birthday. It makes for a full month! Here are some of our highlights:

John and I celebrated 19 years this year. We were able to visit the Phoenix temple and do some sealings. The highlight was being able to sit in the celestial room for a long time and just talk.

January & February 2015

I started a new herbal protocol on January 3rd. It has been not the greatest of months for me. However, I did want to blog while I still remember most of it.

Rebecca is a REALLY smart little girl. We were at Costco, and she said, "MOM! Look at these steps!" She then ran over to the toilet paper and noticed that they looked just like...steps. I had to draw the line at climbing them however. 

December: Weekend getaway, Christmas & Fun!

So one night Thomas was up late. The next morning, he woke up and his hair did not look right. Apparently he thought it was getting too long, so he cut it. 

November Blessings!

November was full of scout campouts, family reunions, Battle of the Books, reports and lots of fun! Not to mention Thanksgiving. Here is how our November went:

Taylor completed his first competition for Battle of the Books. John was able to make it since I was unable to. 

October Blur...

This picture is how I felt pretty much the entire October. We had general conference, fall break, Arizona State Fair, Temple Open House, Halloween and a lot more! Here is pretty much our month.

Last 3 Weeks of September Minus Eagle Project

So I know I am way behind with blogging. I need to break this up a little though. We have been busy with Jonathan's Eagle Project, Fall Break, State Fair and school. Add on top of that work, every day life and not feeling well and that is pretty much our life.

Rebecca had a hard couple weeks with mommy separation and pre-school. I think it was harder on mommy though than her. She is doing better now, but she still asks if I can go to pre-school with her.

Scouts, Pre-School & Colds...

It is hard to believe so much time has gone by. Our family was hit hard by a cold and put John and I in bed for a week! I don't recommend that. Our kids were great though. This post will be mostly pictures:

Back in the Swing of Things...

With the boys back in school, we are back to a routine which is nice. That also leaves lots of time with this adorable little girl!

First Day of School Pictures!

Wednesday was the 1st day of school for the boys. I also have Rebecca in Pre-School this year, but that will not start until September.

End of the Summer!

It is already August and school starts on Wednesday for my boys. We have been really busy around here.

Here is a quick update. One Sunday, my parents were going to make breadsticks for dinner. My dad put the frozen bread dough into the fridge overnight and when they pulled it out after church to make them, it had expanded just a little...

They were the best breadsticks my kids had they said. :-)

Swim Party

I don't know how I missed the swim party we went to, but somehow I did. Last weekend we went to a local pool to celebrate John's Aunt Nansi's birthday! Our kids had a lot of fun too. Here are pictures from the night:

Happy Summer, Swimming, 4th of July and Fun!

Sorry it has been a while since I last did a post. I have not been feeling well, so this takes a back seat unfortunately. I am grateful that I have pictures to help me remember what has happened.

So Rebecca loves to put glasses on. She thinks she is being funny when she does it. We got Jonathan some new glasses for school and she tried on every pink pair of glasses that there were plus more!

Scout Camp 2014

This year both Jonathan & Taylor were able to go to scout camp. They went to Camp Raymond which is near Flagstaff. John went up the first two days and then ironically my brother's troop was up there the same week and so they got to see their uncle the last two days! Here is their troop:

Picture Catch Up Post

Yes, it has been a little while since I last did an update. Since it is summer, things are more laid back and repetitive, so not much going on. Here are some pictures for the month.

Rebecca's birthday. I caught her playing the piano and singing before church.

Summer Vacation - Day 6

Last day! We decided to spend today letting each child pick the ride they wanted to go on again. We also wanted to get another family picture:

Summer Vacation - Day 5

Welcome to Day 5. Today we went to Legoland! We told the boys last time we went to Disneyland that next time we came, we would take them to Legoland. Jonathan was already starting to wonder why we were going to a "kid" land, but Thomas and Taylor were excited to go.

Before we even made it into the park, we went to buy our tickets and someone asked us if we were buying tickets. I told her yes, and she said her daughter could not make it so she gave us their adult ticket that she was going to use. That was very kind of them. 

We made it in and after traveling for almost 1 1/2 hours we were tired of sitting. We were ready to do a little sight seeing. 

Summer Vacation - Day 4

By Day 4, the kids knew the morning drill. Thomas decided to stuff an entire doughnut into his mouth. Not laughing on the other hand was a different story...

Summer Vacation - Day 3

Day 3 we started out at California Adventure. We decided to go on Toy Story Mania first. They look so happy to be there, don't they?
