New Love

So first he had his john deere tractor, then his hot wheels and now he's movin' on up again...time for a "real" bike!

He loves it so much, he is always asking if he could ride it places....to preschool, to someones house, down the block to get precious, anywhere and everywhere......

we were getting ready to pick hales up from preschool, he asked if he could pick her up on his bike, i was like, hmmmm, sure...he was soooo excited! nat and i hoped in the car and he raced us to go get her :)

can you tell how much he is lovin' it!

it was fun, we were just driving along side of him and i had to snap a quick pic....he was too cute!

Play time with Dad

is there anything more fun?
the kids love jumping on davids back for a ride....if they catch him on the floor they are all over him yelling giddy up dad giddy up....its too funny!

****they're all getting so big!****

My green beauties

gotta love holidays with kids, they get so excited!

mainly because of all the fun treats :)

You do what you gotta do...

this is before church...on this day, the kids would not let me get ready, so we did what we had to do :)

what are we going to do when we have the 4th? we got the computer, the laptop, the ipad.....guess we'll have to get the ipad2 ;)

Natalie

this little 20 month old is a riot!
she keeps us as well as her brother and sister on our toes at all times
she is pure comedy....
she eats anything off the floor (still!),  she is an expert gibberish talker,  she can twirl for hours when she hears music, she HAS to be in the middle of everything-no leaving this one out! she loves to cuddle (when shes sad) she has her mom and then dad days, she knows what she wants, she will eat you out of all  your chocolate and candy, she loves her milk and her blanket, she loves princesses!, she adores all shoes (tylers, haileys, moms, dads) she loves meeting new kids her size, shes getting acclimated to nursery thanks to her wonderful nursery leaders, she still has her mullet, she doesnt like me doing her hair, she loves sunglasses, she still goes by the name "chunks", hailey calls her "natty", she will eat pretty much anything and loves dads lentils lately, she is a wild child, she is fast and will run off to whatever she wants to see, she thinks its funny that im 9 mths pregnant and she is faster than me and teases me about it :), she wants to be just like her older siblings and loves playing with them and chasing them, she loves animals!, she has the cutest smile and the funniest personality, i still call her the baby, she brings such joy to our family and we are lucky to have her here with us!

Here are some funny pics of the little chunks:

*classic picture of her "teasing" me :)

Happy Birthday Babe!

Yesterday was Davids brithday!
we started by letting him sleep in, then jumping on him to wake him up and we had pancakes with peanut butter waiting for him and some cute videos from the kids, then we had a great time going to the primary presentation at church, then dinner and games with friends!
I think he had a good day :) hope we made it special for you....we love you!!!

here are some reasons why we love David so much!

enjoy!

 because hes always there to teach us how to bowl and get a strike!

 because he takes us on rides in cool go karts

 because he does fireworks with us, even if we get home really late, but he promised his son and the neighbor girl he would :)

 because he helps out at our birthday parties

 because he plays with us in the pool

 and catches us off the slides :)

 because he takes us on father son campouts when its cold and rainy, but he knows that they'll have fun anyways

 because he does things to make us laugh

 because he reads and spends time with us

and mostly because he can handle the 3 of us!!! :)

and mom too ;)

and we love him for all that and more!!!

Happy 28th Birthday David!!!

while the boys are away....

this one got kinda bored without her partner in crime and decided to catch some zzzz's after gymnastics

 and this one tried to fake cry her way out of trouble, when caught in the bathroom.....lol

 but no worries....she was back to her mischievious little self in no time :)

Father Son Time

David and Ty went on a motorcycle trip w/ daves parents, grandmother and granddoc, uncle steve and aunt sue ellen, aunt inajane and cousin west

here they are before leaving the girls and i

they're a little too excited to be leaving us, dont ya think???

david said tyler had a blast and tyler said that too :)

they had some long 6+ plus hours on the bike and david said he couldn't have asked for a better riding partner and so did everyone else! ty was kinda sad that they never did camp one night, but i guess they pulled into places kinda late, so they just got hotel rooms. he never wanted to get off....they had a van that grandmother and granddoc were in and they had room for ty just in case he got tired and wanted to jump in to sleep or watch a movie.....but nope not once!! well, david did say he did ride in the van once cause he was falling asleep and after a lot of coaxing from the van party, he went in the they told david to get out of sight so he wouldnt change his mind :) lol

but he couldnt stop talking about it when he got home, he told me a bout all the beautiful leaves and the colors and about how he would tap dad on the back if he needed to fix his helmet straps so they wouldnt be wacking him in the face or if he needed to go pee :) only the necessities, haha

they drove down to moab, then onto colorado and went through cortez, durango, did the durango loop, mesa verde national park....yeah talk about road warriors...i'll have to get some more pics from aunt sue ellen, im sure she has some good ones!

what a fun trip for them!! glad that ty got to go! 

how cute do these boys look on the bike together, huh?! too cute i tell ya, too cute!!!!
