It came and went

Well, she is now officially One. We had a BBQ and had both our families here. Talk about a full house. She's so cute. She barely touched her cake at first. I had put a candle on it and lit it, well she thought she needed to touch the flame then ended up burning her finger. Poor thing. She is fine though, and it didn't blister (thank heavens). Once she calmed down from crying and finally tasted the frosting, she loved to eat the frosting. Then I took her and gave her a bath. I got lots of pictures. I am So excited to get them back so I can Scrapbook them. What a cutie..

Getting ready

Well, In a few days, my baby will turn ONE. I can't believe it. It is amazing how fast this last year has gone. The rolling over, sitting up, starting to crawl, eating solid foods. They just dont stay small long. Her teeth have come in so fast in the last 3 weeks, 4 of them have come in. She is so much fun, and such a good baby. Her brothers just can't get enough hugs from her, even though she resists most of them. She gets so excited to see them when they've been gone, even if it is just to a friends house. I guess we cherish the moments while we can.

Family Reunion

We just had our annual family reunion at a local water park. We had SO much fun. My Dad is so wonderful to take my baby so I could go have fun with my boys. My Mom my sister and I went and played Miniture golf, it was SO hot and lots of fun. There were a lot of families that traveled from out of town to be there.
The last evening we have a raffle, Everyone brings stuff and raffle it off. I won 5 different things, including a rocking horse made by my Uncle. It is Beautiful. I wanted to win SO bad, and I DID...

Its so good to see family when some of them live so far away.

Mirror Lake

We took a nice drive to Mirror lake on sunday. It was SO beautiful. It even rained. We haven't had rain forever. I got some of the cutest pictures of my kids. They had so much fun taking off there shoes and playing in the lake. Tommy actually fell in and got all wet, so he complained quite a bit. We walked around the lake, it took about an hour and a half. It was so peaceful, and it was fun to talk to all the fishermen who were fishing. when we got done we went and ate some chicken we had picked up before hand. We ended up eating it in the car because of the rain. On the way back down the canyon we stopped at some falls along the way. It was so nice, and the kids really didn't fight too much in the car.

My kids survived

Well, My kids survived there swim lessons. I was so proud of Thomas. He just jumped right in, and didn't make a big deal about being wet/splashed. Adam did very well too. he can float all by himself now. They really wish they could start lessons again in the next session, but they are full.
Katrina was really good about sitting there and playing with toys while the boys swam. during the last week, I'd let her out of her stroller and let her play on the ground... Both kids passed there class

Mowing the Lawn

My husband is so good at mowing the lawn. We own an acre of land, and he just gets out there and uses a push mower. Our neighbors on both sides of us have offered to let us borrow there riding lawn mower, but he just says "no thanks". I gave up on mowing the lawn about 7 years ago when my allergies were so bad that I couldn't breathe for 2-3 days after I was done. I finally told him that I couldn't do it anymore. I cant mow the lawn once a week, then take 3 days to recover from it. He says it's good exercize, and who doesn't need exercize?
