A Fun Last minute Get away!

We had such a great time visiting the Guthries this last weekend! Sloane BBQed in the Australian hat in the Rain! We had some yummy pies, they were so yummy! We went to watch the Joseph Smith movie in the Joseph Smith Memorial building, while Jenny watched our two youngest, A Big Thank You Jenny! Before the movie we ate at the Lion House and that was fun. I even got to stop into Bountiful and see my two uncles and aunts on our way down to Salt Lake, we love them. The kids got to ride the four wheelers, go to Cracker Barrel and get slushes and the BEST french fries EVER!! We went on our traditional date night, first we went Shopping for the Men for father's day, and of course they spent money on us too because we couldn't leave the mall without stopping in on the Big Bath and Body Works Sale! Then we went and ate at our favorite place the Blue Bird res. it is over a hundred years old with a cool old soda counter just like the olden days, they have great food but best of all they have the best Chocolate truffles. And last but not least we went and saw the movie The A-Team, it was so good we all liked it! We hung out and talked late nights, the kids helped Mike paint and they enjoyed that because they got to have a paint fight. We "Cleaned the Sinks" and the kids loved that and got real messy along with a stomach ache:) We enjoyed our last minute trip sometimes those are the best! Thanks guys!

Looky Looky at what I can do!

He's so cute when he tries to hold his own bottle and he's doing a great job at it and we are so happy that he's learning how! He's eating a lot more these days and so we can't wait until he gets good enough at it to do it all on his own!

Getting use to our family bike rides...

JR loves going for a nightly bike ride and everyone this year has something to ride and it has been so fun! We are lovin' the new park in Verona and the Bathrooms!! The best part is the new bike and ect. trail that goes around the soccer field past the new park, we are so lovin' that, great exercise and you don't have to worry about cars or crossing streets, and if you see friends out in their back yards (like Sloane did and talked their ears off) than you can wave or stop and talk. Too fun! The first night we went out Danny boy didn't like it so much he cried the entire time but the second night he didn't cry until we were going home, guess he was having too much fun (No just kiddin' he was tired!)

My Happy Helper in the Kitchen!

Shell and I tried out a new recipe and it was a hit! It's called, Ginger and broccoli chicken. It was so good except next time I will use fresh Ginger instead of powdered and I will add a little more honey to make it more similar to P.F Changs Ginger chicken, my Favorite!!! I also taught Shell how to make the rice and her daddy was impressed at how great it came out (he's picky about his rice). :) We made Steak soup tonight with homade bread, Yummy! That is my favorite soup ever, the recipe came from my childhood resturaunt that was down on the water front, right on the water, I miss that resturaunt.

Our cute Baby is Six Months Old!!

This is our little bundle of joy! It has taken six months for him to be joyful because he cryed most of the time and did all the way up until about a week ago, that was the longest six months of my life! He loves to sit in his bouncy chair and play with his rattles, toys, ect. and he smiles and laughs for anyone that walks by! He's got to dye for eyelashes they are super long and his eye's are big too, you just melt when he smiles at you. Just look at that smile! I know he's got a big mouth, he gets that from his dad, ha ha!:)

Super fun Memorial day!!

We took the kids to see the movie Alice In Wonderland at the dollar theatre and we all loved it!! I don't normally like Tim Burton's stuff but since the story line is weird anyways it was perfect! We all liked the movie even Sloane. Then afterwards we went to deseret book and the kids picked out a father's day gift for dad and then we went to The Golden Spoon for some Frozen Yogurt, it was Yummy! Then later that day we had a BBQ and invited the Winn's our neighbors, the Fullmers and the Flecks. It was a lot of fun and we had FIFTEEN kids all together here and they were all amazingly GOOD! The food and company was great and we all had a great time, and the sun decided to make an apperance since it's been hiding all week with lots of RAIN, ughhhh. I feel like I am back in Washington. It was a great day!

An Award for the kids

All week long the kids have been coming home with awards, this is one of the many reasons why I LOVE their school. All of our grade schoolers came home with an award for passing things off this year which is a big acheivment, and the Hawaiian Princess even got an award in Middle School for getting a 3.8 GPA, she got all A's except Math but she did great in that too. We are so proud of all our children trying so hard to get good grades in school and passing things off. Way to Go Kids!!
