LOGAN...

What can I say... Logan is the best!! He is such a strength to me! He is always taking good care of his mom, his sister and has little brother! We are all thankful for him! He is such a good boy! He loves life, and lives it everyday to the fullest...he wears me out!! Here he is with a butterfly he found at Grandma's! Isn't it beautiful!
Hide Race Baby!! That's right! For anyone who doesn't know what the hide race is... the rider has a rope with the hide tied on and races to the other end of the arena where their partner is waiting by a barrel to "jump" onto the hide. Our little neighborhood was inspired!! We now have weekly hide race "practices!!" The kids each get their turn to ride around the yard on the saucer! I don't let my kids "jump" on, but they love to ride!!
We love our fun group of neighborhood kids!! We had a big sleepover and watched a movie outside after our little BBQ!! We never have a dull moment in our little apartments! It's great for the kids to always have each other! Logan, you're such a great friend! You have so many great qualities, and sucha strong testimony!! Always hold on to that!!
Logan...Mommy Loves You!!

TAYVI...

Oh, sweet Tayvi Rae!! She is truely my "sunshine on a cloudy day"!! She is a Fiery, energetic little girl!! She is always on the go, and never wants to stop! The only time I can keep up with her is at night...when she's sleeping! Here she is on her bike...she loves to ride!

T.J. is our favorite neighborhood horse!! Our WONDEFUL friends, the Cologies, are always so willing to let the kids go for rides! Tayvi is such an animal lover! She can't see a horse, puppy, kitty, snake, lizard, horney toad....or anything else that moves without wanting to pet it, hold it, or love on it in some way!! I love her shy little smile in the pic!

SOOO much PeRSoNaLiTy!! Never a dull moment with this little girl! Here she is with her friends at our neighborhood BBQ! She is definitely entertaining!!

Here she is with her Cousin and Friend Angelina
Tayvi Rae... Mommy Loves You!!!

CONLEY...

Conley is now 9 months old!! He is such a sweet little guy, and so FULL OF LIFE! He is my little "Einstein"...

He is very much mobile now with his own version of the "army crawl!" He can definitely get where he wants to go, which is where ever the kids are...he loves his brother and sister! He is growing up too fast...he won't let me feed him anymore. If I put a piece of food in his mouth, he will spit it out, pick it up, and do it on his own!

But, as always, he is always so happy!! I am so thankful for my sweet little angel! He is truely the "calm" in my life! Always ready to give loves and hugs! Conley...Mommy Loves You!!

Summer Lovin'

I have been preping myself lately for summer to come to an end. I'm not quite sure that I'm ready for things to change :( Logan will start Kindergarten in 10 days...that's right, my baby boy is off and joining the world on a learning adventure! Tayvi is also going to be going to school, however, her's doesn't start until September (Much to her dismay). She would head off with Logan if she could. She loves to be everywhere he is. Well, in hte name of summer...we went on a mini vacation this past week to Provo. Thursday I took Logan and Tayvi school shopping with my mom...Thanks Mom for your help trapesing the kids around all day!! And thanks Dad for bringing Conley up with you! I am so lucky to have great parents...did I ever mention that?! Well, Thursday night the kids and I stayed at a hotel with some GREAT friends...

Dannette, Bryan, Chandler, and Ruby. They met us there from New Mexico and we had an AWESOME day at Seven-Peaks water park on Friday!! The kids had a great time playing in the pool, going on the BIG slides, and playing in the pull-string showers!! Even Conley went on the big slides! It's so much fun to watch your kids do things for the first time...watching the kids come shooting off of the slides into the pool was the best! There's nothing like an ear-to-ear WET grin! Thanks to great friends for helping all day with the kids...even I got to go on a few of the slides! Needless to say, we had a blast!

In fact, the kids woke up Saturday asking to go again that day! LOL! My kids are just the BEST!! I couldn't ask for better kids...calmer maybe, but really what fun would that be... They make my CRAZY LIFE worth it all!
