4th of july fun

We went to some 4Th of July celebrations. Wyatt got to the first bag on the slick pole. He did awesome. He is normally a shy boy, I did know he could climb, but to do it in front of everyone, he surprised me. I love watching him in action. Wyatt is a great kid. We enjoyed some hamburgers and listen to some bands play. Haily got a star on her cheek and some stars in her hair from one of the booths. Fun times.






Snake anyone?

We found this snake between our house and our neighbors. I was proud of the kids they did what they are suppose to do and run and come and tell us. Luckily it was just a garter snake. We kept it for a while, but it wasn't eating so we took it up the canyon and let it go. It was a pretty big one. Fun time for the boys, horned toads than a snake.


Bryce and Zions getway

Of course i always do the pictures out of order. We went to Bryce and Zions with my parents and my brother David and his family. It was a lot of fun. So this was our very last hike of the week. The kids did great, but Clayton gave up on this hike. It was SO funny! Josh was working with the boys with some carving. They thought that was cool, but probably not as cool as them catching 5 horned toads.

We took one home, and just this past weekend took it up our canyon to let it go.

Lunch after the toughest hike we did. My mom even finished it...yeah mom! It was one of the most funniest hikes ever, because we all wore matching shirts..that the Chinese people thought it was so cool. And they were amazing by how many kids we had. They kept taking pictures of us.









Camp fire time!


Junior Ranger program. We did one at Bryce and Zions


Another hike we did.







Fun in the the mud and stream by our cabin.




Some wide life

The weeping rock..i think that's what its called..it was pretty cool.

3 + 3 = Crazy

We have been way busy, especially now. I don't even know why I'm taking time to post this. There are so many things being neglected...but not the kids...just house stuff. The kids are having a blast. We took on 3 more kids for about 10 days. It is fun and crazy at the same time. I still haven't completely unload groceries from this morning...lol. I have a new respect for ladies that have babies super close together. 6 kids under 7 is a crazy experience. Love them lots! I'm loving caffeine and candy this week too. Time for quite time! Maybe?!?

PJ Party!

Hailey turned 6 this year. For her birthday she wanted to do a pajama party. We had so much fun doing hair and nails and playing games. She got a new bike for her birthday. And she had some of her best friends come. Two girls weren't able to come, but they were missed. Hailey is growing up so fast.

Graduation time

Hailey graduated from Kindergarten. This is her teacher, Mrs. Wride. She is wonderful, she was Wyatt's kindergarten teacher too.

I got to do some funeral flowers for Josh's grandpa's sister. I love the purple and yellow together.

Wyatt had his first grade program too. He did a great job, he is growing up so fast.

Fun in April

We have been staying busy. Here are just a few things we have been up too. We made nests. A friend of mine did this with her kids and i thought it was so cute. It did take my kids like 2 days to eat them. It was way fun.



Jake and Zack(Josh's twin brothers) came home from their missions. Here is the clan waiting for them...it was a LONG wait. Plus we got pulled over that night...LOL.

We did our first fishing of the season. Clayton caught the first fish, on his little fishing pole. Our friends the Biglers came with us.







Of course we had an Easter egg hunt in Grandma and Grandpa Smiths back yard. It was a lot of fun, but a little cold.

I have some blogging to catch up on...but for now, this is what i have been up to. Boy have i been tired! I think more so than with the last 3, but i don't remember. And the baby is actually due Dec 7th..i have no idea where i got November. So, I'm almost 11 weeks. I have a long ways to go. But I do hope the tiredness will pass soon. Plus, I'm getting a little rounder faster..but that is to be expected this is my 4th. So, i will catch up some more in the next few days. I can't wait for summer..time with my kids and not babysitting...YES!

Out of the mouths of babes!

Today, Clayton proceeded to tell one of the little girls i babysit that I'm pregnant.
"My mom has a baby in her tummy and she didn't even eat it"
So cute! Love you Clayton!

Cute isn't it?

So we have really cute kids, its amazing that babies start out looking like this and become something so much more appealing...LOL. So this is what my baby looks like right now at 7 weeks. Isn't it cute!?! But there is definitely a sweet spirit growing there! Can't wait. So we will have a November baby, hopefully as long as everything goes well(there is always a little worry) I have a hard time keeping it a secret for a long time.
The kids are so excited! So here is to 7 weeks...may i not get nauseated at night and i will get plenty of rest...lol.

Band aids anyone!

So Wyatt in the last 5 days has had; a busted lip, a cracked head(no stitches required), some rode rash, and a cut finger. I think he is following in his dads foot steps. There are always war wounds from playing outside. Good thing it doesn't stop him from going right back out there.
