Ten Years Ago
I was attending Beauty School in Federal Way living at my parents house, waiting for Alex to get home from his mission so I could marry that boy.

5 Things on my to do list today
1. Run and Pilates
2. Clean the closets
3. Clean the hardwood floors
4. Weed outside
5. Make dinner, the kids want pancakes

Things I would do if I became a billionaire
I would pay my Dad back for our brillant business we started. That would be the best thing ever. I am so grateful for what the Lord has blessed my family with, I would probably just help people, family, whatever. I think I might go to Hawaii for a little bit, love, love, love that place. I never get enough sun, I love the sun.

5 of my secret bad habits
1. I workout too much
2. I spend to much money at target, I get introuble every month
3. I love peanut Butter way to much I eat it way to much it is my weakness.
4. I am not a good mother until after I get my run done, wish this wasn't the case.
5. I don't know anymore

5 Places I have lived
1. University Place
2. Provo, Utah 4 months, hated soooo much I had to come home
3. WOW that is it I have not lived anywhere else. Does that make me a sad person. Well maybe that is why I want to get out of this state so bad, I have been here way too long I need to get out of here!!!!

Jobs I have had
1. The limited (summer in high school)
2. Dad's office
3. Puget Sound Medical Supply
4. A salon for just a minute, I enjoy doing my own this in my own salon better. We have the salon downstairs it is more relaxed and people bring their kids for my kids to play with. Much better than working outside the home for me. I want to be a mom first and a working girl second.

Weeding

So it is that time of year again. We have started to work in the yard. The weeds are trying to take over. We all went out together yesterday and started what feels like a HUGE task. The kids really helped a lot I was a bit surprized at their positive attitudes on weeding, that makes me a happy Mom when we all work together.

Barrett the bike riding boy!!!

Barrett decided today was the day he was going to ride a bike. He went outside with Ryan and returned with his fun information that he was a bike riding boy. We were all so excited, so we went out after dinner and all watched the Barrett Boy ride bikes. Great job little buddy!!!

Oddessy One

More Spring Break fun. We went to Oddessy One with the Aunt Courtney and cousin Lillian. The kids had a great time and were absolutely pooped when we got home. Which I was extremely happy about. Sometimes they have so much energy they kill me. So finally Spring Break is over and we have returned to normal life with our normal routine, we like our life that way. The older kids are happy to be back in school. And the little kids are happy to have their nap time again. And so am I.

Sunday Fun

After the first seesion of conference we headed over to Mimi and Papa's for some lunch and good old family time. The girls had Hot Chocolate with Aunt Rachy. We came back over after the second session and the girls talked Aunt Rachy into a dance party. They got dressed up in her old dance clothes and had a blast. What a fun time with the Auntie!!!!

And another one bites the dust

Banks was playing outside at Mimi's house and oops he bit the dust. He was really upset and thought he was going to die. Bless his heart.

Happy Anniversary

I cannot believe we have been married for 9 years. WOW!!! That is a really long time. We have a wonderful life together with 5 adorable kids. Life doesn't get much better. We love our family and spending time together. We have been through a lot in the last few years and we feel truly blessed to have each other and a place to call home. I love you Alex, you are my everything. Happy Anniversary!!!

A Busy Day

Baby Napping

Seriously though why when Banks is sleeping and I ask the older kids to be quite and go downstairs they sit right outside his door in the dining room and talk and laugh. To bug that is what. They bug. And sure enough they woke little man up. Talk about annoying.

A day at the Zoo

We had an action packed day....WOW....the ZOO was a ton of fun with the kids, Mimi, and Aunt Courtney. We had a blast looking at all the animals especially the elephants, Kennedy's favorite, She really wanted to see the monkeys and elephants. THe fish were amazing, HA HA HA!!! The playground was a favorite, we all loved the slide the best. What a fun Spring Break for us, the sun is even shinning, super duper cold outside but fun.

A Day @ The Park

The kids have Spring Break this week. Okay so what am I supposed to do with 5 kids in Washington weather all week long.....So we braved the winter weather and went to the park. We really had a great time. Lots of fun and lots of laughs. Ryan even fell into the duck pond. Poor Ryan, she was a good sport though. Kennedy decided the ducks were boring and moved onto feeding the seagulls. She is a funny lady. The boys love to climb the tree that is there. We had a lot of fun but didn't last long it was soooo cold!!!!

Cookie making fun

Here we are Sunday sfternoon making cookies. I thought it would be fun to make something, so we decided to make peanut butter cookies. I love to make cookies and treats now because I don't have to worry about eating them all anymore. I have 5 other people that love treaty treat treats!!!

Snowing?

Ok, I forget, what season have we just gone into....SPRING RIGHT? Well not where is fabulous Washington, it is seriously snowing where. THe kids were shocked as was I and Kennedy asked if we could go skiing in the snow. Oh, my we really need spring to come fast. I am really really ready for some warmth.

My 2 Little Duckies

These little ladies had a really great time with eachother yesterday. We had a busy day and were on the go, but we did find some time to be silly and make fun memories. I hope that my kids will love their cousins as much as I do!!!

Yet another HAIR PARTY!!!

We had a super fun hair night tonight despite all the interuptions from my kiddies. Thanks for a great time ladies.

Nintendo DS

Since when do 2 and 3 years olds play NINTENDO DS. Kennedy informed me "Mom I am really good" WOW!!! She seriously thinks that too. I was actually just happy that the girls were being nice to eachother and not fighting like they usually do. GOtta love them though. They really do love eachother.

Looking for a Ball

Here she is looking for her Ball. Princess Kennedy is all dressed up with no place to go. Kennedy loves to play dressup and be the princess whenever she gets the chance.

Easter at Mimi and Papa's House

Easter Morning

Here are all the little chicks before church...my little Easter Eggs. They are so cute. We always look so nice just before church and as we get out of the car to go into the building we loose it.
