ooops

So I really have been slacking on updating my blog because my camera had a little accident. A couple of weeks ago my brother and I took the kids fishing up at Canyon View Park. It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it, but some how my camera slipped out of my hands and fell into the pond. I thought that I could just let it dry out and everything would be o.k. but that was two weeks ago and the darn thing still won't turn on, so I guess until I am able to find another camera there won't be any fun pictures to look at. I am so sad because I love blogging and love taking pictures of my crazy kids.

Art City Days

Last weekend in Springville was Art City Days. Jonah and Anna were riding in the parade with Grammy and Papa. So Chris , Elan and I sat on the sides watching. It was a lot of fun to watch Elan. He liked the floats and the firetrucks and oh yeah the candy!!!!

This was one of Elans favorite floats. I think he just liked the pretty girls on it.

Elan anxiously awaiting the next float

Anna and Jonah had so much fun waving to everyone and throwing candy to all kids

And of course what would Art City Days be without the carnival?

Anna on the cars too!!!!

Harley Rides with Papa

These pictures were taken about a month ago, while the kids were spending the night at grammy's and papa's house. Papa has a Harley Shop in Springville so they stopped by to visit and papa took them each on their own Ride. They thought they were so cool to be able to ride the Harley. Thanks again Rick, The kids loved it.

Topsy Turvy Flowers

This year was Anna's First year of dance. She didn't really show a whole lot of enthusiasm the whole year, so I didn't really think that she enjoyed it. But boy did she show me When it was her time to dance She got up on stage and danced her little heart away and did such a good job, I could not believe it. I guess we will be signing her up again for next year.

T-Ball Time

It's T-ball time!!!! Jonah is so excited that he is finally old enough to play t-ball. He plays twice a week and loves every minute of it. His team name is The Wildcats, pretty ferocious name wouldn't you say?

Look at him. He's a natural

nice swing

waiting patiently for his turn to bat

Anna'a Preschool Program

Today was Anna's Preschool program. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by, and how much she learned this year. She is growing up way to fast. She did such a good job singing all the songs. We are so proud of her.

what a scary lion

Anna's Preschool Class

Fishing With Grandpa and Grandma

While Chris and I were gone to Lake Powell the kids spent a couple of days grandma and grandpa. My kids love spending time with them. One of the days grandma and grandpa took them up to Canyon View Park for a picnic and some fishing. It looks like they scored on the fish. Grandpa said that Jonah could cast really well and even caught one of the fish without any help.

Anna even caught one of those fish

Elan caught two

Those are some pretty proud faces. Thanks again mom and dad for making these memories with our kids. we love you very much.

Lake powell Trip

This weekend Chris and I were able to Take a trip to Lake Powell with the Masseys. (Adults only) Isn't This place so gorgeous. This picture was taken from the cave that we found to camp in. It was a little bit of a hike up to the camp but it was well worth it.


The water was still a bit cold but that didn't stop us from enjoying it. Chris has got the surfing thing down.
This is not a very good picture of me wake boarding but I am still a beginner so I don't stay up on the board very long. Chris snapped this picture right before I fell to show our kids that mom is getting a little better at the sport.

Look at that handsome husband of mine. He bought that hat while we were down there. I love it. The Hat mysteriously disappeared a few times though because Dave didn't much care for the cowboy look.
Here we are once again at our camp site. What a great trip!!!!!!!

Spring Soccer

Spring soccer was an adventure for us there were some games where we were sitting on the sidelines in our full winter gear, and then there were days like in this picture where the weather was just beautiful but we loved it. Jonah had a great team and had a lot of fun playing.

Jonah's coach was so great. He was all about making sure the boys were having fun, and making each boy feel like they were an important part of the team he even bought each one of the boys a metal with their name and name of the team engraved on the backside.

A Wonderful Day

Friday was a wonderful day. My friend Missy and I were able to go to the Provo Temple . (thanks Missy for asking me to go ) Man did it feel great!! All of my worries were left at the door and the peace that I felt was amazing. After the Temple we went to Lunch at one of our favorite restaurants The California Pizza Kitchen, did a little shopping and got some Ice cream. I hope that we can try to do this kind of stuff more often. Thanks again Missy, it was awesome.

All dressed up

It is very rare that you will see all of my kids dressed up with their hair combed and no dirt or food on them. I snapped this picture early enough in the morning before they could do any of those things. Aren't they so adorable!!!!

An Afternoon at the park

It was finally warm enough on Saturday to go outside and play , so we spent our afternoon at the park. I think the kids really enjoyed themselves.


Elan has no fear and likes sliding down the slides headfirst.

Anna is the cautious one, taking each step slowly to prevent any falls.

Jonah being the crazy climbing monkey that he always is!

Soccer anyone? It was fun to see Anna and Elan try to keep up with Jonah.

Happy St. Patricks day

I know it is a little late, but I had to post these pictures. On St. Patrick's day, we had a little leprechaun visit our house. He never showed himself but he left some pretty obvious tracks so the kids knew he had been there. The kids had so much fun finding all of the green tracks and it was fun to hear where they thought he came from.



After the kids had taken a bath and we were getting ready for bed, dad called them down stairs to see what he had found. The leprechaun had left a little surprise for them. A piece of his gold. WOW did they feel lucky!!!!!!!!!!!

The Circus

N0, I don't mean our house, although I would call it that sometimes. A couple of weeks ago our friends invited us to the Jordon World Circus. The kids had so much fun. Jonah liked the clowns, Anna liked the performing poodles, and Elan liked the big elephants, But I think that they would all agree that the cotton candy was the best!!!!!

Pretty in Pink

This last Sunday when we got home from church Anna went straight upstairs to change her clothes. After about 15 minutes Chris and I were starting to wonder whether or not we needed to go upstairs and see if she was o.k. when who did appear it was our sweet little Anna all dressed in pink. She had gone upstairs and found a pair of pink tights, pink skirt, pink shirt, and her pink gym shoes. (Can you guess what her favorite color is?) She was so proud of herself, and even commented how well she matched. I can't believe how independent she has become lately, wanting to comb her own hair, brush her own teeth and even make her own bed. Our little Anna is growing up too fast it makes me so sad.

The Rock Band question

How do you know when you have played too much Rock Band?? Well I guess it's when your two year old stands up on the couch, puts his hand to his mouth like he is singing into a microphone, shakes his little hips, and belts out the words "say it aint soooo". Elan has seen us play Rock Band a little too much and I guess he thought that he needed to join in all the fun.

Happy Birthday Jonah!!!

I can't believe that Jonah is already six years old. where has the time gone? For his birthday we went to Jumpin Jacks, he had so much fun jumping on all the blow up toys and hanging out with all of his friends.

Here we are!!!!

Finally I learned how to blog to all those out there who have been bugging ..
