Family Home Evening at the Mesa Temple

We went to the Mesa Temple with our good friends the DIPADOVAS! We were able to see the most beautiful paintings I have ever seen... "The Reflections of Christ". Google the title to see the collection... you won't regret it!
We had a fun chillin' with R homies!
The view was wonderful by the fountain in the front of the Temple.

The kids were resting while watching a movie. This was probably the only time they were all laying down... every 10 seconds (no lie!)... one of them was coming out for something to eat or drink. We were wondering where all of the snacks were going. :)

Kennedy is SIX Months Already!!!




We just went to the doctor for Kennedy's 6 month check up and here are the results:
16 lbs 11oz which is 50-75% for weight, 90% for her head and height. She received 4 shots and one oral vaccine. She was pretty good..but the tears were strolling down this time. She is such a good baby I hate to see her hurting ... especially when I was the one holding her down. Anyhow, everything is great. She will have eczema her whole life and the runny nose is still going strong. We got a new inhaler and up the amount of Mucinex that she gets daily. I think that the basket next to my bed (which is Kennedy's) is over flowing with medicines, creams, inhalers, powders, and everything else that comes with a baby.
Overall - we love our "Pretty Girl "and enjoy every moment of it!

Grant's 4th Birthday Party

Party Time!!!

Grant trying to destroy the Pinata!!!
Great friends... Shari & Holly!
Carter, Kalia, Ty & Suzie... AKA the Baker Bunch
We had a wonderful birthday party at the neighborhood park for Grant's 4th birthday. He had a Spiderman cake, we had a water balloon toss...don't try that with a bunch of 4 year olds!, and then we smashed a Spiderman Pinata! That was the best part. The kids really did a great job destroying that lil sucker! We let them play at the park and had pizza too. It was a very full and eventful 2 hours. Thanks to everyone that came ... Grant loved everything!

Pics after church



We thought that Kennedy's dress was so cute that we had to take several pics!

Carter Lost a Tooth

I was brushing Carter's teeth and all the sudden his tooth went flying down the sink...I had no idea it was even that loose. Good thing this happened after the wedding he was just in. The tooth fairy left $2... is that a cheap tooth fairy or average?

Merry-Go-Round

Here is Grant riding the merry-go-round with his lil girlfriend Kylee. After I took this cute pic I turned around to look at Kennedy and this is what I found...


Sometimes she falls asleep with it over her eyes in the car. I guess she figures it is her only option...

Trip to California for Nicole's Wedding

We have just returned from California. What a full month we have had. Grandma RaRa came for a week, then Barbi and Paige came for a week, then Grandma Suzie came for a week and then we all flew to California for Nicole's wedding. We had a great time! It was a full fledge family get together. Aunt Shirley came from Las Vegas, Aunt SheShe came from AR, Joel from San Diego, Jayme and Charlie from AR, and then us, Grandma Suzie, Grandma RaRa, Aunt Sharon, and Josh. It was a full house! We had people sleeping on 3 different couches, 3 blow up beds, the floor and 3 regular beds. It was a good thing Josh had such a large home to hold all of us. Carter and Grant were ring bearers in Nicole's wedding. They had little tuxes on... it was so cute. They did a great job. Nicole was a beautiful bride! It was great seeing family that I hadn't seen in 10 years or so. Everyone looked great. We had a wonderful time but it is always great to get back home to your own bed. Our next thing to do is get TAXES done. YUCK!!!
