Zack - Zack - My Baby!!!!

There is nothing better than sleeping children!!! I absolutely love watching my kids sleep, not only because they are not asking for anything or fighting, but because I don't know what it is but they are sooooo cute when the are asleep. The other night we had a pretty late night, my sister and her family was up here so we met them at the Draper temple Open House and also went to the Sportsman Expo and then back to their hotel and swam until 11:30. When we got home the kids were exhausted so the big boys went down stairs and hung out and went to sleep and this is where we found Zack he had gone upstairs and tucked himself in our bed on my side (he said he always has to be on my pillow and my side, which I love) and fell asleep it was really hard to take him to his bed I just wanted to climb in bed with him and snuggle but he really isn't the easiest child to sleep with so I had to get a picture because times like these are times I will cherish. We had a blast at the Expo and the kids love to see the Temple and love to be with their cousins.

Arizona - Baseball - Arizona

My little Kaden in his height of Glory. I am so glad that he gets the opportunity to be able to play the sport he loves with such a fun team and especially having his dad be one of the coaches and in one of the funnest places to play in the world. This place is so cool, it is several fields and they are replica's of the major league fields all throughout the world and his favorite being "Yankee Stadium" but in little league size. It was so cool!!!!!

Kaden's Team!!!!!
My little Zacky! He wants to be just like his big brother's.

This is in front of the "Big league of Dreams"


This is at the M&M world in Las Vegas.

We went to a Mariners and Dodgers Spring Training game. Zack's favorite Baseball team is the Mariners, he was hoping for Echiro but he never played in this game.

Us watching Kaden's game at the "Big League of Dreams" in Arizona. We had a blast watching those games!!!!!! We sure missed Hunter, he stayed home so he wouldn't miss so much school but we all missed him bad.

My Volleyball Gal!!!!!

This year Shelby wanted to try Volleyball, so we were sitting at a High School volleyball game and a lady came up to us and wanted Shelby to play with them on a volleyball team so she decided to try it this year and she has loves every minute of it. This is their first tournament and they did awesome!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

Shelby my precious and only little girl, you are the light of my life! I remember the moment I laid eyes on you I knew that you were very special and that you would be my best friend. I hope that it never changes, as the years go by and you get older not wanting to be by my side at every moment of the day will come. I know I say that somedays I just need my space but really I don't I would be lost without you strapped in my overalls because I couldn't hold you anymore (I had to get something done) I never want that to end. You are my little sweetie and my light when things are dark. I am soooo excited for to become a Young Women but you will still and always be my little girl. I love you so much and I am so blessed that you came to me.

Happy Birthday!
My Love..........

Justin I hope you have a wonderful Birthday!!!!!!!!

I hope everybody is having a wonderful New Year, the kids are back in school and life is back on track all though I really miss sleeping in and also I miss the kids just hanging out around the house.

BUT.... let me just tell you what I did today I made little loafs of bread for dinner tonight and let me tell you my MIL gave me all the makings to this new thing, I am telling you what I am a bread making fool, I have made breadsticks, bread, cinnamon rolls all kinds of breadsticks sweet and cheesy and I have made them all in 1 hour or less. It is the best thing ever I love bread and so does my family, tomorrow I am making Calzones for dinner. It is soooooo easy and my family loves the bread, I am so excited. My MIL found a lady here that made this up and she came to her Enrichment night, the lady has a DVD on how to make different things and it is amazing. I used to think that bread is so hard and it kinda overwelmed me a little, my mom used to make bread but it took all day to make it and so that scares me alittle I remember having to push it down and push it down, with this you only raise for 25 minutes if that and cook for 25 minutes. I can't say enough good about it.

I started making these loafs around 12:50 today and was done and the mess cleaned up by 2:15 and I also talked on the phone half the time. I am really not trying to brag but it really is easy and if I can do it you can. The 2 on the right got a little out of hand but oh well. now I just need one of my friends little loaf pans.
