Trying to Catch Up - - - More to Come Hopefully Sooner Than Later

So I have been a very very big slacker when it comes to blogging over the last few months. Here are a few events that have happened since I was more on the ball. I will have to do even more when I can find my camera charger & download some more pics.

Tereck turned the big 31 back in February. We had a fun surprise party for him. There is sure getting to be a ton of candles on there. It was a little flaming inferno!!! JK babe.

Alexis turned 8 in March. We were in the process of moving that week so she didn't get a big party this year so next year I PROMISE. She still had a fun time and got lots of good stuff. I can't believe that she is already an 8 year old. She is such a big helper especially with all of the goings on this year. I don't know what I would do without her.

Lexi's last day of 2nd grade at Woodland Hills in Idaho Falls. Thanks for a great few months Mrs. Cousin.

Kamrie turned 4!!! Holy cow how is that even possible. She had a really fun party at my mom's house. We even got to have Uncle Darren & Aunt Adrienne and their kids & Uncle Nate & Aunt Kristie & their kids there. She has turned into quite the comedian and she keeps me laughing all the time. I wish I could have just kept her 3 for a few more years. I am not looking forward to her going to school in less that a year and a half. SO SAD!!!

BEST BUDDIES!!! Since the day we moved, not a day has gone by that Kamrie hasn't asked to play with Emma & Mia. They are so darling to watch play and they get along so well. I think they could play every single day together and never get sick of each other. Kamrie hasn't had a problem adjusting to this move at all thanks to her little buddies.

Here are a few pics of our cute boy. He is still a little turkey and it's a darn good thing he is sooo cute or I may have traded him for a nicer version some days. No no not really, he is actually doing a little better since we got tubes in his ears last month. He is a very busy boy and has also not had a hard time adjusting to our new town.

ALEXIS IS GETTING BAPTIZED

OUR HOUSE SOLD!!!!

So this post is exciting and sad all in one. We got an offer on our house last Saturday night and then we did the counter offer back & forth game. We finally agreed to a price on Monday and we are already close to closing. It will probably happen next week sometime. Sooooo stinking fast I can't believe it. I am happy yet on the other hand I am going to miss Idaho Falls and the life that we have had here. It is definitely bitter sweet! Here's a picture of our beautiful home that we worked so hard on. This pic was taken last winter before we moved in, thus the pretty dumpster to the side. On the bright side we got to enjoy almost an entire year here. I know I was completely spoiled rotten and I never needed anything this nice. I know that I could live in a box and still be happy as long as I have my family. I am just counting my blessings and I am so grateful for my family and that Tereck found a great job that he is really enjoying. OK that's all I'm going to say about that right now because I am already almost in tears.

Ryker had a great 1st birthday party. He was so fun to watch with his new 4-wheller and of course the cake. He got all sorts of new fun things for his birthday.

Blocks
Tool Set with a handy dandy screw driver, hammer & drill
Baby Leap Pad
Tonka Roller
Cute Summer Clothes
A Grandpa Steve outfit (Levis & Plaid Shirt) I can say that because he (Grandpa actually picked it out)
Little Cars & Semi
4-Wheeler
He is definitly a spoiled little turkey but a very cute one at that. We had a really fun party followed by a fun evening with some friends. Ryker got to play in the snow with his sisters for the first time. He quite liked it for the first little while until he bobbed his face in the snow a few times and than he was ready to call it quits. All in all he had a really fun day I think. I just can't believe that my baby boy is already one years old. What a fun addition he has been to our family. The girls just giggle at the funny new things that he is doing daily. He has really decided that it is time to take the walking thing seriously the last few days. They are really getting a kick out of that. I love the way they interact with him and dote on him a little to much sometimes but that's ok. Thanks to everyone for making it such a fun day for our little guy.

This was his latest comedy show for this evening. Tereck this is for you! Sorry you missed it but I thought you would like a laugh anways!!!

"PEEK A BOO"

The other morning Lexi missed the bus and so I was hurrying to get somewhat ready before I took her to school. Ryker climbed into the tub because it is his new favorite place to hang out. He started playing peek a boo and actually saying boo with Lex. It was so darn cute. After I got home I decided I had better get this recorded for daddy to see. Kamrie was having a good time in the tubby too. She is hilarious. Just the other day we were getting out of the car. Kamrie had been asleep since we had picked Lexi up from dance. Lexi was being sweet and trying to wake her up nicely. Kamrie still had her eyes shut and then burped in Lexi's face. Well not actually burped, but her favorite little fake burp. Lexi proceeded to say, "Kaaaammmmrrrriiieeee, your breath stinks," Kamrie busted up laughing and while still laughing said, "I know . . . that's because I didn't brush my teeth!" What a nut she is.

CRAZY PICTURES

My Aunt Marianne went downstairs the other night to this on her porch. They finally had to put this "little" ha ha creature down because it wouldn't go away. They tried for an hour and a half to get it to leave with no luck.
