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.

Bear Lake 2009

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.

Jaxon had such a great time in preschool and will miss his teachers and friends, but he is soo excited to start kindergarten.
Makade did very well in 1st grade. We were very lucky and got a great teacher. He is excited to start 2nd grade.
Okay, so I am so far behind on my blogging. I am going to try and catch up over the next little bit.
I figured I should get these pictures posted since school is starting back up next week already.....

Happy Birthday Makade!

I know this post is sooo late. Makade turned 7 in June. We had a great day. He got the bike he wanted and we had a party with all of our family. He wanted brownies and ice cream instead of cake. It was a great time.
We feel so blessed to have Makade in our family. He is such a good kid. He is so sweet and a big help. He is always making us laugh. We love you Makade....
