Spoiled Kids

This is a small sampling of what my kids' lives were like while we were practically living at grandma's. This  picture was taken at McDonald's. I'm pretty sure that grandma took them there at least twice per week for the whole 2 months. I never heard them complain!

Just one little midnight trip to the grocery store. It looks like every kid got their own cart!  Last week Shaersti said to me, "Mom, isn't it awesome that you didn't get very sick this pregnancy?" That's how I know that grandma covered my butt!

Dixie Round-Up Rodeo

We LOVE the rodeo! Anne especially- she is pretty sure they do it just for her birthday.  It is one of our favorite things we do all year long. A big thanks to grandpa who gets tickets then goes early to save us all seats!


Anne got to take a ride before the rodeo started with one of grandpa's hook-ups. 


Cheer Camp

This year Grandma Jill paid for all the little girls to do the Desert Hill Cheer Camp and the loved it. Aren't they all so cute in their outfits? I didn't get pictures of them doing their cheer because they were too far away (and I felt like crap).




10th Anniversary

This year we celebrated our 10th Anniversary. We had all these huge plans for a grand vacation and  we ended up in Brian Head. I am not complaining. I was starting to get sick and we had a fabulous weekend together. 

On the morning of our anniversary this is what I woke up to. I have the sweetest husband  ever! He found out that  year 10 is the year of aluminum. He used Mountain Dew cans and made these amazing flowers. I still have them in my bedroom. It's probably the coolest thing I have ever gotten! I am grateful for my husband every day of my life. He is by far my best friend and typically the only person who understands me. He is an amazing dad, too. The best decision I ever made and will ever make was to marry him.

Peach Days

We went to Peach Days again this year to listen to my dad play. It was lots of fun! Not sure why I didn't get a picture of my dad- sorry dad!

This was the free craft with Home Depot.


Back Among The Living

It is the beginning of December and the last posts I did are from August. I have been so sick with this pregnancy! I would be incredibly ungrateful if I didn't let my mom and my husband know how thankful I am for everything they have done for me over the past 3 months. I couldn't be having my 5th baby if I didn't get so much help from them; and I am amazingly grateful to be getting a 5th baby! Now I am finally back to normal life, feeling great, and I'm going to attempt to catch up my blog with whatever pictures I have from the past few months. It could be a slow process!

And One More Makes 5!!!


Ten tiny fingers and ten little toes

Brown hair, tan skin, and a Fuller nose.

Boy or girl we cannot say,

But we are due on the 2nd of May.



Crazy... I know! I wasn't thinking about being pregnant at all. Then on Sunday night Scott asked if I was late. Funny... I was. Since when does a man pay attention to that? I bought a test on Monday and took it on Tuesday morning. Darndest thing... it was positive! We are hardly even pregnant and I don't feel any signs yet so it's hard to believe. But, we know how sick I get so I am spending this week de-junking and organizing my house and trying to get some systems in place to make it a little easier on all of us. I am excited and will be even more so when we are though the "hell" of the pregnancy!
