Better late than Never

So there was a day back in early June when we had Hunter's last T-ball game, Haley's team party, and Hunter's team party.  Maybe it's taken me so long to blog about it because I'm still trying to recover.  It was a long fun day with some very excited kids.  It is always fun to see them get so excited about getting trophies and just celebrating the fact that they worked hard all season!

Hunt ready to hit at his last game.

I still think he looks like a bobblehead.  He's so small!

Yep that's my kid!  He's not going to let that first basemen stop him!

Harm's little girlfriend Hannah.  They are a mischievous little couple!

This girl LOVED playing softball and can't wait to play again!

At the Red Sox party Michael surprised me with some gift cards and flowers to say Thanks for being the Team Mom.  It was so thoughtful and sweet!  I'm a lucky girl!

The Many Faces of Harm

This little 3yr old is such a character!  He keeps us laughing, yelling, and wondering constantly.  There's never a dull moment when Harmon's around!  He's just so cute I can't help but show some of his sparkling personality :)

Yep that's my boy!

Summer Fun

When you live in Las Vegas you don't go outside without being in the water.  Soooo this is how we started the summer off when trying to stay cool.  As  you can see the kids are in heaven!

Forever Family

We had a special trip to the St. George Temple on Friday night with all my brothers and their wives.  It is such a special event to gather in the temple with those you want to spend eternity with.  It was the first time we'd been together in the temple since my youngest brother Cameron got married.  My Mom has been requesting this to happen every year on her birthday and it's been tough to get everyones schedules together.  It was also nice to have some time with Marc as he's leaving for Iraq next week with the National Guard.  We'll be praying for his safe return home everyday!  Troy also needs a few prayers as he was just called as the Bishop of his ward.  He'll do an amazing job and I'm sure it will be a great learning experience for him!  Cameron is starting a new job and David is trying to finish their new home and my parents are also trying to get into a new home after loosing theirs to a fire.  So as you can tell an escape to the temple is just what everyone needed to escape from the pressures of life for a while.  Michael and I just enjoyed getting away and remembering our wedding and thanking Heavenly Father for our 4 little monsters :)

Sorry David and Becky--I got distracted and didn't get a picture of you two.

The Grad!

Wow life happens so fast!  Hunter just graduated from Pre-School which means he is READY for Kindergarten.  He is so excited and has loved every minute of pre-school.  He has learned so much and is ready for school EVERY day.  Let's hope he doesn't change his mind next year when it actually happens :)

Samuel, Karly, and Hunter

As a baby Hunter used to cry hysterically anytime anyone sang anything.   It didn't matter if it was church, home, or in the car he would scream everytime you sang.  Just this year he decided it was okay to sing and now we can't keep him quiet!  He sings in the tub, car, and when he's playing by himself.  He's to funny!

Cute little Grad!

This is a scary bunch.  I have a feeling they are going to get in some trouble together when they get older!

The Characters

So my kids would be completely content with just meeting the Characters at Disneyland.  They don't mind standing in line for an hour if it means they get to meet Micky, yet when they get there they don't say a word.  I think they get a little star struck!  Here are a few we met during our time at Disneyland :)

Fawn the "Animal Fairy" 

Hunter was VERY excited to visit Pixie Hollow, more excited than Haley--to funny!

Haley was chosen to be the Ambassador for the Princesses.  She got to announce their arrival at Ariel's Grotto

Look at that grin on Harm!  To cute!

Haley was majorly Bummed she missed Minnie--we were soaring over California instead.

Tigger was BY FAR our favorite character!  He's a HUGE Red Sox fan and we were all decked out to go to a game that night.  I wish I had on video our time with him.  The kids were laughing hysterically because he stole their hats and put them on his ears.  Then he tried to walk away because the photographer was a Yankees fan.  It was so fun!

SPRING BREAK!!!!!

Spring break was spent in the "The happiest place on earth" this year and it truly was a happy place.  We spent 4 1/2 days playing in the park and had a Blast!  It was Harmon's first trip so it was so fun to watch him discover new things and take it all in.  He was a little nervous at first, but by day 2 he trusted us a little more.  We discovered he has a fear of heights, but we slowly are changing that.  It was a fun trip and I could post a hundred pictures, but here are a few for your viewing pleasure :)
