Silly Kids

One day Kade came up to me looking like this. I wonder if he wants to look like this someday.
Jord was planning on taking the kids on a father and son outing. He told the kids it would be when he got off work and they would head to the mountains. I was inside getting everything together for them to go and was wondering where Ben went. I looked out the window and this is what I found. I felt so bad for him when I saw him waiting patiently for his dad to come home to take him fishing...

Porter is always pulling these pouty faces. He seems to get his way with his brothers when he pulls this face. So it happens quite frequently..

Day Camp with the Scouts

I got the privilige of taking the scouts to Krub Sout Hollow. It was a really nice day and it went well considering I had 10 scouts go that day. Thank goodness for Annette Scott who helped me with the boys. They learned alot and passed off so many requirements.
Kades favorite part was the obsticle course he ran through it about 5 times. I thought he would be tired but was determined to make it through it as many times as he could.


Go Kade

Keep Moving!

They learned so many things but one thing that Kade remembered was the first aid part. They learned how to put together a turnicate where they carried an injured person. He went home and put one together himself and showed my sisters girls, so they spent the afternoon carrying each other around. I'm just glad he learned something.

I'm glad we survived the day with boys, they were good and got involved in every activity.

Summer Days!!

Stephanie and Tony invite us down to Utah every year to hang out with the kids and take them to Lagoon. It wasn't very warm this year since we went in June but the kids were not going to leave without a swim in the pool.
Porter is always trying to keep up with his brothers and will not settle for staying behind, so he took the plundge along with them. Dosen't he look so cute in his boxers and winnie the pooh life jacket!! What a STUD!!

We had alot of fun at Lagoon it was such nice weather not to hot and not to cold, but towards the evening it down poured so hard that everyone tried taking cover in the show shelter. Tony, Steph, Tia, McKayla, Porter, Maddie, Seth, Savannah, Benson and Kade.


Ready to take a ride on the train through the zoo...

I think this was Porters favorite ride. He is so happy being with his favorite cousin McKayla. He cried "My Mickey" for days after we left.

Benson was such a sport, he went on all the rides he could and rode them like a champ. I think he was scared but never let anyone know.

The weekend before we went to Utah Jordan really wanted to take the boys camping. We went to Birch Creek and took the kids fishing. Grandpa Bob was so good with Benson who wouldn't leave his side for a minute. I think he said Grandpa more than a 100 times.

Porter and DreAna played in the creek pretty much the whole time. Since I didn't take there swimming trunks the boys went in there boxers.

Turning 8!!!

I can't believe I have a child that turned 8 and was ready to be baptized. Kade has really shown how grown up he is. I was really worried that he wasn't going to be ready or want to get baptized, but when the time came he was actually excited and said to us that he was ready and wanted to follow in Jesus' example.
Kade with his dad on May 1st 2010 getting ready to finally be an official member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints.

I was so proud of Kade I had tears in my eyes the whole day..I'm glad he is such a good example to his little brothers.

A little Brownies and ice-cream after the luncheon

Even though we had a party for Kade on his baptism day he insisted on having some friends over on his actual birthday. I picked up the kids after school and let them play at our house for a couple of hours.
Dustin, Britton, Branson, Keefer, Kade, Alexa, Sidney, Brenden, Vanessa, Brynlee, Straton and Joel.

Opening some presents. He insisted on getting ice skates to play hockey but he settled for a hockey helmet instead. Since there is not any snow or ice to skate.

I just made a simple cake since it was such short notice.

Little Monkey!!

So this is our new and improved little Porter. He climbs everything like shelves downstairs to get a game or movie. My so called organized pantry. The other kids would scoot the chair over to get something, not Port he found a new way to get what he wants.
The other day I went into a bookstore and behold he went straight for the bookshelves and climbed right to the top and started throwing books on the floor. Unfortunately we had to leave before he made an even bigger mess.

Ben finally lost his first tooth..

Benson finally got his first loose tooth. I think when Kade was his age he had already lost 4 teeth. Benson was pretty excited that he finally has a loose tooth.
I let him wiggle on his tooth for about 3 weeks, and when his new tooth was half way up behind his baby tooth. Kade and I decided it was time for it to come out. Benson was a really good sport when we pulled it and very excited about the tooth fairy comimg for the first time.

Easter/Conference Weekend

Since Easter Weekend fell on the same weekend as Conference, we decided since it was snowing and cold that we would hang inside and work on conference packets. The kids actually enjoyed listening to the speakers and tried there hardest to complete every page. Of course Porter just colored all over his packet.
Boys at work coloring and enjoying hanging out with the family.. Kade took on the challenge of learning the Prophet and Apostles names in order. He mastered it to.. Good Work...

With Conference going on, you can't forget Easter and the boys love this Holiday as I do. We colored eggs on Saturday night and the Easter Bunny hid them around the house that night. It was way to cold to be outside. Porter loved everything he got in his basket and would run off and hide so he could eat all his candy.

When the boys woke up on Sunday Morning, Benson came straight to our room to tell us the Easter Bunny came. He also proceeded to tell us that he thought the Easter Bunny peed on our carpet. When we asked him why, he said there is a warm spot on the carpet. I'm glad he has a good imagination and keeps us laughing with the things he says.

Here is Porter when Dad took his Easter Basket Away. I know Port Easter Candy is my favorite also.
