Dandelions
















We, for the most part, LOVE Dandelions:)





Now, i realize that a lot of people hate them and probably curse me for having them in my yard. For the fact that they blow into their yard.

But...

I think they are really pretty and my kids LOVE to pic them. An man do we get some big ones under our tramp.

Some times the simple joys in life are the best, why get rid of them.;)

Turning 8,isn't it great!:)





















I am blogging out of order, but i have a few that i have missed.
Like Jessens 8th Birthday.
On April 29th Jessen turned that special age of accountability. He had planned a swimming party, but it snowed, so we changed it to a sledding party. They had a snow ball fight and then hot chocolate while waiting for adam to come home to take them to sled. They all looked frozen by the time he came for them, but they all still wanted to go sledding. It was a fun time and he had a great turn out.
Then on May 8th he was baptised a member of The church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. It was a very beautiful day and they program turn out wonderful. I gave a spotlight on him and a Book of Mormon to him, with mine and Adam's testimony's and tried not to cry... but was not successful. My mom and sister also gave wonderful talks. He was given a white towel with his name and baptism date on it, from the Primary.He thought was was neat.

I love seeing that sparkle of happiness in him and felt very grateful for what a wonderful boy he is.

My baby is growing up to fast!





Zeke turned 8mo on April 26th, and he is changing so much every day! I love and enjoy to watch him grow and learn new things, but it is also hard to think that he soon will be a toddler and not that little baby anymore....He brightens my day:) He is my little MOMO, Zeke E,ZekeElwin..we love him so much.
so hear are some pictures of him and the changes that he is making.
He got his two bottom teeth, which was a while ago.
We pulled out the high chair, (he loves that)we should of done it earlier. And he just gave up the Binky one day,(about 7 1/2 mos.)I was hoping that he would at least keep it tell 9mo. but that is what happens when you think you have it all planned out.
And after much debate, i cut off all of his long dark baby hair on top. it makes him look so much older.... why are changes so hard sometimes.. These posts are mostly for myself, so i can have it printed off for my journal. I don't mind if people read it, but it might be full of boring facts. lol

Wow, it's been a looonnng time....






I have thought about my blog a lot over the last 5 months, and thought about blogging but it just seems to much work to do it.lol.. and a part of me says why blog no one reads it....and so the time with a new baby has flown by and i have spent my computer time (aways holding the baby) on Face Book or researching and looking at my latest hobby (the last 4 mo's)which is rabbits. And i have started making piggy banks again lately. (adam so kindly gave me one of his pottery nights at the High school so i could get out.) It has been fun to make them again, and i can feel my creative juices flowing...i really enjoy making them and selling/giving them away.

And zeke has just gotten so big right before my eyes. and now he is just to hit his 7 month mark and i am asking myself where has my lil'baby gone?

I kinda like having a blog even if it is just for myself, and the thought of someday somehow printing it off so that i can count it as my journal and have those memories saved,but i am not sure how to do that, if you have any idea if it is possible would you (if their is a you out their) tell me how.

Life is going pretty good for us, just the usually ups and downs mostly.. we did take our first family vacation sense i was pregnant with the twins... and well it was a lot of fun, it was also a lot of work! But a very good learning experience for us and the kids. we didn't go very far, just to st.George but it was so nice and a lot of fun. we mostly swam in the hotel pool and visited family and some good friends. We also seen the Dino museum, which i think my kids were a little young for. We also went to snow canyon and the kids played in the red sand dunes, which the loved.

Well hopefully i will blog more even if it is just for me to be able to look back at them, which i do enjoy quite a bit.... good night.
