May

Scubba max.  He is such a wet little boy in the mornings.  I have to wash his clothes and his sheets and all the blankets every morning and almost when he naps also.  He pee's so stinking much it is crazy.  I don't know when he is going to start to hold it in at night but I think he holds it in all day just so he can let it go all night long.  I don't know how he sleeps through it when he is wet as a fish either.  It is so sick.  

Mia came and stayed with us for a few days and we were so happy to have her.  Lizzy and her get along so well and just have so much fun and laugh about everything.  I love it and there is no drama between them and that is the best part. Lizzy really wanted to try on fake eye lashes when mia was with us and they kept them on for like five minutes.... I guess they didn't really love them. 

Mia is such a animal lover.  She is so good with animals too.  She is such a sweet heart. 

Max is in love with getting the eggs for us.  He loses a few of them and Ryan bought some fake eggs that are suppose to keep the hens from pecking at the eggs and he has lost all six of them.  We have no clue where he put them and it has been over a few weeks.   

I turned 35 this year.  I had a great birthday!  Ryan took me out for a date and we found some tree's for our house and ran around and shopped for a while.  He always asks me why it takes so long when Sheena and I go to town and I think he found out why... half way through the date he said... "maybe I should have sent you with Sheena"  ha ha.  We went and ate at the Tandori oven and it was good.  After that we went home and the kids were so excited to have us get home and had been calling and calling.  When I walked in all the lights were off and I could hear Max saying, "Shhh shhhhhh shhhh"  and everyone was laughing.  As soon as I walked into the living room they all yelled, "Happy birthday" and threw down a ton of balloons they had blown up.  They had done a lemonade stand that day to earn money to go and buy me a present.  So Mia and Liz rode their bikes to the store and got me a card and a stuffed animal and some high chews.  It was so sweet and they were all so cute .

They decorated the house for me also and cleaned up. 

another round of the dentist for Adison. 

Ryan took his mom for a flight for her birthday.  She loved it.  

We played human fuzball for mutual and it was a lot of fun.  Alexis was a great little scoring machine 

and this is what 35 looks like.... I am not sure what keeps changing but I sure don't look as young as I once was.  I am really starting to feel older too.  Especially when I see how old my kids are all getting.  

I was able to go and watch Brad and Sara receive a award for best in state rental properties.  They have done a amazing job with their subdivisions and just keep going. 

It was a black tie event and was very fancy.  Everything looked amazing.  

Summer came along and was able to put her beautiful prom dress to use on more time.  

She had me crimp her hair and I said if It takes me over a half hour we have to get pictures of it.  

These cute girls got twin dresses.  They look so cute together in them!

random things

Alexis showing off at mutual.  She thought it was so fun until I pushed on the brakes a few times.... ha ha.  J/k  she loves to have fun

Me and the kids at a soccer game for Brytlee.  

Max thought it would be a fantastic idea to put a ton of lotion in his hair.... not so fantastic after all.  Dang it

We thought it would be fun in the month of May to basically live at the dentist office... ugh .  We had a bill of about 3000 bucks and it was not fun at all. Adison had eight cavities herself, lex had one, Ryan had one, Lizzy needed a new sealant, and we all had our cleanings.  It was fun.  

Summer came and stayed with us and we went prom shopping for a dress with her and her friend Tyler.  We had a lot of fun.  I really loved the moo moo from the dI the most. 

The girls all went to the temple and did baptisms for the dead.  It was fun for Alexis to get to go with her older cousin.  They are really starting to hang out and have fun together.  A funny story.  Alexis said, "I think it is so awesome how Chase and Alex waited four years before they had a baby, that is what I want to do."  I didn't really think anything about it and just said that is good.  Then at the temple we saw some couples and she said, "oh on my honeymoon I am going to be so hyper and party all night long!"  I told her that was a little inappropriate and was joking and she looked at me and said, "mom I told you that I was going to wait 4 years before we do that."  We all about died laughing.... ohhhhh that girl is so sweet I love it.  I hope she doesn't stop thinking like that for a while.  It was great cause when Tyler walked out of the temple and saw another couple she said, "oh I bet she is so hyper right now!"  it was great

We went and ate at a creepe place and the girls all loved it.  I am not sure if they liked the food or the cute french boy that worked there. 

Max went shopping with me to Lees and he loved the cute little shopping cart.  

Round one of Adi.  She had to go back four times.  I as so amazed at how good she was.  She just let the doctor do everything he needed to do and didn't complain or fuss at all.  She was fine with being numb after for a long time too.  She kept coming to me and saying, "mom, my face is sleeping."  Then after a few hours she was so excited and came to me and said, "mom it woke up!!!"  It was so cute. 

Ryan had his teeth done at the same time as adison and Max didn't like them picking on his dad.  He didn't want to leave his side.  

This is the face of pure happiness.  I love it!!!  I got this car for Christmas and with all the sales and deals I only paid 9 bucks for it.  Best deal ever.  The kids have loved it and are having a blast with it.  

I took the kids to the park and it was so fun to see the smiles on their faces.  They are so much fun right now and are just happy to do whatever.  They are both just so sweet and I love being with them all day.  I am so lucky I don't have to work and I get to watch these kids grow in front of my eyes.  

I took The other kids to the creepe place after a soccer game and they didn't love it as much.  Ha ha

they did love the swings 

I was able to make a trip home to see Britton be baptized.  He is such a sweet boy and just always has a big smile on his face.  

This was a sweet Text from Alexis that she wrote me on mothers day.  I wanted to make sure I could keep it.  Ryan took me out on a date for Mothers day and we got some Mokaheta!  It is my favorite.  

The girls found grandma's halloween lipstick and had fun playing with it.  I am loving how close these two are getting.  It makes me so happy when they are happy and getting along together.  

Our cute little neighbor Shelby.  We all love her and she is with us a lot.  She is a really sweet girl.  

Max is so funny.  He loves to go for walks and even enjoyed riding in the bottom.  

Ryan got his pilots license and he fly's every chance he gets.  I am still not in love with the idea and do not really want to fly with him.  I just feel like it is a huge risk and I can not leave my children without parents.... Ryan is mad at me and thinks I am an idiot. I know so many people that have lost their family members and friends in the past few years that it makes me so nervous and I just get a huge pit in my stomach  when he flys.  

This little boy is for sure mine.  I remember my mom telling me that I would sneak a whole brick of cheese and then hide it under my bed, and then forget about it and then it would be gross and moldy when she would find it.... he loves to eat cheese by the brick and I can't help but think he is so funny and cute when he does it.
