My Baby Brother is Engaged

Yesterday my baby brother got engaged to Jessica. We are all so excited for him and LOVE Jess to death. We are so happy to have her in our family, she is a sweetheart.

Zach proposed to Jess at the park across from my parents house. He had a canopy set up with a table, candles, and her favorite desert. It was raining and so PerFect. Of Course my sisters and I snuck down to watch, and I did get some great pictures. My whole family were at my parents house ready to congratulate the cute couple.

Marley Dance Recital

Well, another great year of dance. Marley did a great job. She looked adorable in her costumes.

Memoral Weekend

Last weekend we went camping with my family at Sawtelle. It was the first camping trip this year and we loved it. We went with my parents and my brothers and sister. My parents had their 35th wedding anniversary on Sunday, that is a lot of years. It rained that day but it was beautiful. The kids played hard, riding their bikes and going on bear hunts. They mostly all get along really well and this trip was great, I don't think we had any melt downs. These cousins are the best of friends, and they absolutely love each other. Cory was the fire master, he built the fires and put them out. Koen loved to just hang out and was so good. Piper loved the painting and making necklaces. Boden loved riding the powerwheels and playing with the bo and arrow that uncle Heath bought. Marley was a good entertainer to the little girls. She played so well with them. She was awesome.

The Girl Can Sleep Anywhere

I love nap time for my kids but when they reach a certain age they wont go to sleep at night when I want them too, and so I end up taking away nap time. I like my time a night with all my kids asleep. Well since I have taken Piper's naps away I seem to find her all over my house asleep on the floor. Poor little girl just wants to sleep and her mean mom wont let her.

Boden's Preschool Graduation

Boden Graduated from preschool last week. He did such a good job in his program. It was really cute. He is such a good boy and I can't believe he will be starting kindergarten in just a few months. My boy is growing up.

Koen is 4 months old today. I just can't believe how fast that has been. He is just the best little boy. He is always happy, and yes he does smile all the time. He likes to be held, which is A OK with me. We love him sooo much.

Our little Garden

We have never planted a garden before. But some reason this year we wanted to try a little mini garden. The kids planted tomatoes, cucumbers and cantaloupe. So well see how green our thumbs are after this, and see if we can make this work ... we had fun anyway.

Cory's Law day run

Cory ran in the Pocatello Law day 10k run. He did great. He beat his goal and ran it in 54 min. I took my camera to get a good shot of him finishing, but was a little to late and got the back of him instead of the front. I tried to get another one and, well, he was a little annoyed that I had to have a picture. Anyway, great job honey.

Looking annoyed at me after I said smile.

WooHoo the finish line.

My Pirate

Arrrr, It was pirate, princess day at pre-school. Yea for Boden, he picked to be a pirate.
