The Zoo Again?..

I know you would think my kids would get tired of it, but they never do, so here we are once again...at the zoo!

A Day at the Park...

Wade has a bunch of cousins here in the Salt Lake area and we all (well at least the females) got together with our kids to play at the park for an afternoon. (2 Aunts, 7 moms, 12 kids)

Anna, Layla, Crew, Marley, Miriam, friend of Marley, Kennedy, Jacob, and Claire.

Swimming Lessons (Anna)

This was Anna's first year of swimming lessons, and she cried a lot the first session, but she is doing much better session and it has done wonders for bathtime and the washing of the the hair process.


Right after getting dunked...she did not like this.

Summer Soccer...

New Camera...

Wade decided to get a "graduation" present for me too...I guess because it was a hard 2 years for all involved. Anyways, its a Nikon D5000 and I have absolutely no idea how to use it, so I have been playing with it for the last few months trying to figure it out...I am getting a bit better, but I think I am just gonna have to take a class...oh well, hear are some of my "play" pictures...

I Can't Believe I have a Kindergartener...

I know these are way late and that they are hard to see, but you can click on the collage to see the pictures closer. I will try to be better about posting.

Graduation Day (Finally)...

So after 2 very long years, Wade graduated with his MBA at the U of U. We are all very glad to be done and to move on with life and we are very proud of our "Man of the House" and can't wait for him to reclaim his position in our home. Awesome job Wade, we love you so much!

Computer Class Graduation...

On April 28th Jacob had his computer class graduation, he was the only one who was hesitant to get up there to be recognized by his classmates, but Ms. Marj is very kind and very persuasive and got him to get up there without conflict.


Ms. Marj, probably one of the nicest ladies I have ever met, lovin' on Jacob.

Princess Jewels...

So we went to DI (basically a Goodwill for those not from Utah or Idaho) to get rid of some stuff and somehow the kids conned us into looking at the toys and we came home with a truck and a Disney Princess game with jewels, so here is the fam. being pretty pretty princesses! PS I didn't get a picture of it, but when Jacob put on the clip-on earrings, he put them on the top of his ears so he looked kind of alienish. Anna, however, knew exactly what to do with them.
