My BABY is FIVE !!!

Today is Bryce's fifth Birthday--For all of you who went to Nursing School it seems like yesterday he was hanging out in class with us. I just can't believe how time flies by. I couldn't have been blessed with a better little boy. So here are a few things I just love about Bryce
--He is a big helper, he loves to help me with the baby and washing dishes.
--He is very kind-hearted. He is always includes other children. He often finds little kids at
lagoon and invites them to ride with him so they won't have to ride alone :)
--He is independent. One day I think I will be a little more excited about this one since it makes
me a little sad he doesn't need me quite so much anymore.
--He is a great big brother. He makes sure to include Kira and is always helping her.
So, Happy Birthday, Bryce We love you!

Sunday adventure

Now that everyone is feeling better, we decided to mix things up a bit and stray from our usual sunday dinner. We all took the four wheelers for a ride up the canyon to roast some hot dogs and s'mores.

Home sick

Kira and I have had the stomach flu. So, since I can barely make it out of bed, I decided I can sit and redecorate my blog. I'm just sitting here sipping gatorade and blogging, what a crummy day.

A case of the cold

A couple months ago I purchased a doll for Kira. Of, course I had to buy the doll that says momma and daddy when you squeeze her hands. She also giggles when you squeeze her tummy and sneezes when you squeeze her cheeks. So cute, right? Well last night Dollie got a serious case of the sniffles or allergies. She sneezed all night long. I couldn't figure out how to turn her off. The sound maker is sewn in to her belly and she doesn't un-velcro like other sound making toys. At dinner we all got a kick out of the sneeze interrupted conversation. Needless to say at about two AM Dolly found herself shoved in the corner under a very large blanket. And, yes, she is still sneezing this morning. Kira and Bryce get the biggest kick out of it. They both keep saying "bless you" everytime they hear the sneeze. It is so funny.

The two best Dads ever!

Since Trever is home alone with all of the kids today, I thought that the least I could do was take a minute during my lunch break to tell him how awesome he is. I am amazed by his 'fatherly' skills. He has never once hesitated to change a diaper, in fact, I don't think I have ever had to ask him to. He has always been selfless when it comes to the kids. I remember when Bryce was born and I was in nursing school, Trever would wake up for every feeding and bring Bryce to me, then take him back to him back to his crib. Never complaining about his interrupted sleep. There have also been countless sleepless nights or rough nights while I'm at work, but he just finds a way of handling it all. Yet, I hardly ever hear a negative word about it. I am so lucky to have him as a father to our kids, and our kids are so lucky to have a Dad that is so involved and takes such good care of them! I also must add a note about my own dad, because he has taught me so much about how important dads are. He never missed a softball game, cheer competition and yes, even Drillteam competitions. I was always so glad to see him in the stands! So to all the Dads in my life--Love ya.

LAGOON ! ! !

We spent Monday and Tuesday at Lagoon. We had a blast. I love watching the kids get so excited about the rides. They just love lagoon. I think it is my favorite place for the summer. Hopefully next week the weather will be warmer so we can visit Lagoon-a-beach.

Pigtail Pain!

Kira absolutely hates to get her hair done. This morning for church Trever had to hold her and keep her busy while I attempted to put her hair in pigtails. As soon as we walked in the door she wanted them out. I have several pictures of her either with one pigtail, pulling on her pigtails, or the "after pigtail hairdo"
