A couple more picts. of John

I just liked these picts alot too so I thought I would throw them up. These are pictures we used for thank you's for his birthday party:

My little boy is not so little anymore!

These are John's 5 year photos I snapped of him and one I grabbed of Taylor because I couldn't leave him out. I can't believe how grown up both of them are. John officially started kindergarted and is loving it! I let him ride the bus home and he loves that too! He is all of a sudden afraid of being alone, being in the dark, and afraid of monsters. He used the word "whatever" for the first time the other day- that was fun! He loves to be Taylor's rule enforcer- which is also fun :). He is on a soccer team and is doing amazing! His last game he scored three of the four goals! He wants to start basketball next and I not too sure he will be as good in that sport- I will keep my fingers crossed for him though. Anywho just had to brag on my growing boy for a min.

Family Vacation August 4-7

Wend Day 1-
~Traveled to Lehi
~Stopped to have a Picnic in Nephi and stretch our legs
~Checked into our hotel
~Headed to Sandy to have dinner at the Myan
(Watched people dive off rocks at the Myan- the Boys loved this- didn't so much love the food which was very expensive)
~Boys kept requesting we go back "home" meaning the hotel and go swimming.
~So rented a red box
~Went to get into the pool and 5 min. in saw lightning so we moved our swimming into our hotel room. Kids got into the tub with their swimming suits and swam in there.

We got hit by a major hail storm- pretty crazy- we thought our cars windows were going to be knocked out but luckily they held up.

~watched a movie

~went to bed

Day 2 of our fun coming soon...

A Mom's Favorite Thing...NOT!!

I got a call today from "Lins Market" saying that John had won the Coloring Contest he entered in and to stop by the store for his prize. So I was thinking a bag of candy or a balloon... Yea not exactly:

John's Coloring Contest Prize! This thing is not light either- it has to be at least 20lbs! John can barely carry it, pretty funny to watch actually! :)


Don't worry we made sure "Chick" the chicken (the name John gave it) was safe on the way home! :)

An amazing video for moms:

An amazing video

This is an amazing message I came across while reading LDS LIVING magazine. We really need to appreciate our bodies for what we have- we need to try to recognize the devine role of a mother. I just have to say wow- I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did.
