The Zoo!

All the kids.
Me and my kids..

Looks like a good time right??.... It really was, but we had 16 kids and 4 adults. Something is wrong with that. It was UEA weekend. We thought since the weather was bad no one would be at the zoo. We weren't the only ones that thought that. It was packed. It was a lot of fun though. The kids had a blast! AND we only lost one kid. Of course it had to be Brooklyn. Luckily it was only for a minute. We were really lucky and found her. She had wondered off looking for a drink. Over all it was a good time.:)

Football

This year was Makade's first year playing football. We put him in flag football with his cousin Kip. He loved it! He did really well. The beginning of the season was a little slow for him, but by the end he was doing awesome. We all had such a great time watching him. He is anxious to play again. This time he says he is ready for tackle football. We will see....

Makade is the QB in the gray in this picture.

Brooklyn loved watching the football games...

Alex's surgery

Alex had to have her tonsils out and a patch put in her ear. This poor girl has been throuh enough. She did really good. The surgery was at primary childrens, she was very anxious to get home and as soon as we did she was ready to eat and run around. The next day wasn't so good.... She is doing really well now. She is sleeping a lot better and loud noises don't hurt her ears anymore. Because of that we call the surgery a great success.

We went to Bear Lake again this summer. It was such a great time. We all stayed in condo's. That part was great. The first couple of days that we were there the weather was really bad. We went swimming at the pool at the condo. The rest of the week was perfect. We had such a great time playing on the beach, riding on the boat, skiing, wakeboarding and tubing. We all had a great time and can't wait until next time...:)

Girls Birthdays!

Brooklyn on her 2nd Birthday.. We celebrated Brooklyn's birthday at Bear Lake. We had so much fun celebrating her birthday there. A week after we got back from bear lake Brooklyn was potty trained... Yay! Brooklyn is such a fun girl. She is always making us laugh. Everyone that meets her instatly falls in love with her. We are so lucky to have her in our family. We love you Brooklyn!
Alex had her 4th birthday. For her birthday I got Faith, her best friend, and took the two of them to get pedicures. They absolutely loved it. They are such girly girls. Alex is such a sweet girl, when she wants to be. She definately has a lot of attitude. It is great. We feel so blessed to have her in our family as well. We love you Alex.
We ended up having a combined party for the girls with our families. Everyone came over and we had cake and ice cream. We had such a great time celebrating with everyone. Happy birthday girls.

First Day of School....

Alex

Makade

Okay, I have been such a slacker on posting. These next few posts will be a little back tracking. These are the kids on their first day of school. Makade is in 2nd grade now and Jaxon is in Kindergarten. They are both really enjoying school and love their teachers. Alex started preschool this year. She is loving it.
