Brianna

So in July my baby girl turned 3. It is so amazing how fast they grow up. It seems just like yesterday I was brining her home. We had a fe of our friends over for cake and ice cream. I made a Minnie Mose cake for her and she really loved it. Then the next day which was really her bday we had her open her present which was a bkie and she loves it.

So I know it has been awhile, a few things have happened since my last post. Taylor had her dance recital and she did really good. The costumes were awsome. Lisa from church made them.

Then sometime in the middle of July my kiddos decided to play barber shop. I was downsatirs folding laundry when Taylor said mom Ben cut my hair, well I went upstairs and talylors pig tails were cut off. So I had to take her to the salon to get her hair cut. She looks really cute, it did take a little bit of time getting used to it, but I really do love it now. Not really much I can do with it but she really likes it. 1 day while she as in the tub she did ask why her hair was so short. I told her to think about it and then ask again, she has yet to ask again.

The last month

So this last month has been kind of busy. Ben as in baseball and he had practice 2 days a week and games 2 days a week so we were pretty busy there. Ben had a lot of fun playing baseball. At 1st he was really timid of the ball, we worked really hard to get Ben so he wasnt afraid of the ball, finally he got to the point where he wasn't. His coach was a great coach, the 2nd to last game I asked if Ben could be put on a base and he qas able to play 2nd, he was awsome at it, he got a kid out, he as really excited. Our last game as cancelled due to a huge thinder and lighting storm. Ben was really sad, he told me he was trying not to cry in the car while e ere heading over to pizza barn. I was sad for him.


Ben also had his last day of school on May 29th. He passed with flying colors and is excited to go on to 2nd grade. Cant wait to find out hat teacher he got.


Taylor has been in dance and she just finished her dance recital. She did great. Her costum as really cute. A lady from church makes all the dance costumes, she does an awsome job.


Taylor has also learned how to ride a 2 wheel bike, unfortunatly because of the street we live on the kids dont get to go otside a whole lot to ride bikes, but she is doing really good.


Taylor is starting kindergarten next yr and she is so excited. We are going to work more on her letters and sounds starting this week.




Brianna has been Brianna. She is such a sweet little girl very passinate and caring of her bother and sister. If they are sad she will go up to them and gie them hugs.

So we had a great Easter the Easter bunny didnt really hide any eggs but he hid a little bit of candy. The kids had an Easter egg hunt in Utah while they were visiting their granny and papa. After church we had ham and we also made resurrection rolls. It was fun.

Whats going on in my life

So after my dear friend asked me what was goin on in my life I decided I better post. (Thanks Elizabeth=))
Actually nothing much has really been going on. I go and play volleyball mon, wed and Fri it is really fun. Last week I didnt feel very well and the week before that we had pink eye. It was horrible. Then Brianna ended up with cold sores and Bryan was also sick. I hope and pray that we are all better now.
Taylor is still doing dance and she will be having her recital on June 6 I am so excited to see how well she does. I need to decide what to sign her up for next yr. She ill either do Jazz 1 or beginning ballet, not quite sure yet. We are waiting for K registration. we will be asking for the afternoon class because I just think it will be easier.
We signed Ben up for baseball again, and cant ait for it to start. I need the warmer weather. I am so sick of it being cold here.
One day i ill get Brianna potty trained. She decided she did not want to do it so she just quit She loves Dora so I am tryin to bribe her with a Dora DVD but who knows. Today I asked her when she was going to start going on the potty again and she said never. One day I will get her.
Spring break is coming up and the kids will be going down to UT to visit thier Granny and Papa. They will be there a few days the I will meet my mom in Wendover to get the kids. It will definitly be different with 2 kids gone. I plan on orking ith Brianna those days that they are gone but we will see what happens.

Taylors Birthday

So I know I am really late in posting this but I need to post about Bugs Birthday.
Well she turned 5 on Jan 24th and we did a birthday party for her. Well e invited everyone in her primary class which is 10 kids (no Joke) then she had to invite 2 kids who used to be in her primary class but moved 1 ghirl in her dance class and 2 girls she plays with at the school when we pick Ben up. So with siblings, and all the kids we had 20 yes 20 kids here at my house. We started off making pizza and while that was cooking we played pin the tail on the donkey. Ater playing that the pizza was done so they all enjoyed thier pizza. After that Taylor got to open her presents, she got alot of fun ones. On Fri I went to Wal Mart and bought a package of foam activity things so they all put those together. It had the alphabet in the package so Fri night I put thier names in a baggie. i think they all had un. Then thier parents came. I made a purse cake for Taylor and that morning I had to run to Smoths to pick up another cake. The cake I made her only did 18 servings but it turned out really cute. The cake I bought was also pretty cute it was a frog cupcake cake. I did decide after that day if Taylor has that big of a party again I ill see about doing it in the gym at the church. Taylor did keep telling me how much fun she had.

Wow what a month

I know I need to post pictures but my computer has been really slow so as soon as we get it sped up again I will definitly post picture.
So to start off Ben had his 7th birthday on the 11th of Jan. I cant believe he is growing up. Well I decided to do a birthday party for him even though I had a show on fri. night and a bridal show and a show on sat. So I did his party from 11-1 we did homemade pizza and i let the kids make thier own individual pizas, I think they really enjoyed it. Then we played a few games and then I had them decorate thier own cupcakes. Then at 1 Ben and his friend got picked up to go to his friends bday party at 1:30. He was busy that day. My friend picked Ben up for me so that I could go and do the shower and she took him to where I was. Then after I got home I saw that my show for Sat night was cancelled due to know one coming. I was kind of relieved.
Also that same week we got a call from the Stake Presidant to go and visit with him and Bryan also got a new calling, he is now the Elders Quarum President he was able to get him some good counslers so I think everything will be great.
This last week we had some friends invite us for a date night, well we went on Mon and I was worried about going case that afternoon I got a call from the school telling me tht Ben threw up in class (2nd time this yr) and I called the babysitter to see if they still wanted to come over and he was totally fine with it. So right befor we went to dinner I put Ben to bed and told him if he needed anything to just holler. Well we went to dinner at Wingers and we went to go and see Bride Wars, I really enjoyed the movie. I thoght it was pretty cute, They did leave it open for a sequal so we will have to see what happens.
The on Wed the 14th we celebrated our 9th Anniversary, we didnt do to much Bryan got a new tv and I got a very pretty flower arrangment. Teh that night we just ordered pizza from Papa Murphys it was very good. Then Wed Brianna got sick yet again, she had a fever so I sniggled with her till she feel asleep, she was doing a little better yesterday but she feel asleep about 3 yessterday and she slept till 7:30 this morning when I woke her up. She is doing much better today.
I hope you all had a great week!!!

New Calling

So 2 weeks ago our wards were split and on that night they told our primary presidant that they were going to release her. Well I got called as the primary secretary. I have never been in a presidency calling before so this is going to be really new for me. I am pretty excited though, we will be having sacrament only next week and then the next week we will have the regular schedule.
