More life around here...


Alayna's first grade end of year program. It was darling. 

Caleb and Grandma Lou enjoying all the singing at the program. 

Ben being a good little baby there too!

Alayna with one of her teachers. 

Right after the program we ditched and went to Trafalga...pretty much a tiny weeny place. I've never been before and let's just say it was way smaller than I would have ever thought. Also, there were no crowds. Which made our experience even better. 

A little water boat ride.

Another little ride.

Caleb and Everett waiting for a turn. 

So excited to ride on the airplanes.

Loving it!

Jake's turn to fly!

Oh, the tricks and secrets this momma told us! But in the end the surprise of BABY GIRL was hands down the greatest surprise of the century!

One proud Grandma. My mom loves little girls. She has dreamed that we would all have only girls. But oh, how we have all loved our boys! All ELEVEN of them! But finally she was blessed with her 5th grand baby girl. 

Proud new parents. 
 Cute baby girl, Oakley Grace. Welcome to the worlds greatest family!
 Messy baby Ben

Our newest niece.

Proud Aunts.

With all the sunshine around here we have been spending TONS of time outside. The kids can't ever get enough of playing with their dad when he's home, especially on the swing set.

Life around here...


Benjamin is a side sleeper...pretty much he's adorable! I've never had a baby that sleeps on his side. It's really darling. Oh, look at those chubby cheeks!

Some soccer Saturday's are colder than others!

Jake and Isaac turned 5. Which means we through a GIGANTIC 5 YEAR OLD party. Jake dreamed up his party. He dreamed of a bike party at the water park, with a bike parade, pizza and ice cream sandwiches.

Isaac loving his party.

Between cousins and friends this turned out the be around 25 kids. WOW.  It was the best party yet!

The bike parade.
 

A few favorite new birthday gifts.

Happy Ben, enjoying his highchair.

One chubby baby!

Jake's new 5 year old bike. What a great surprise!

Adorable Caleb.

Happy Mothers Day to the most amazing wonderful mothers in the world! I can't imagine my life without all of you by my side. You are truly an inspiration and strength to me. I love you all!

Kid Pictures...There are a lot...because they were SO darlin!


Well, thanks to a darling neighbor who introduced me to FotoFly in Draper, I decided to take my FOUR monkies in for a photo-op. I could hardle wait to get the photos to post them for the world to see! Let's just say I loved it. I'm so glad I braved the experience all on my own with these four bundles of joy. They turned out so darling. Each little personality. I'm totally pleased and would refer ANYONE there. Ok, I know I don't have to post all of these pictures, but I am doing it for the grandmas, great-grandmas, aunt's, uncles and cousins that don't get to see these beauties as often as they should. Seriously, SO CUTE.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Yes, he really is this darling and SUCH a handful. It's a good thing his little smile melts me!
 
 
 
 
 

He is as sweet as they come.
 
 

Our only princess.
