ETHAN'S FIRST SOCCER GAME!

Ethan had his first soccer game last week, and he did great! He almost kicked a goal! It was pretty hot outside, so the kids decided to have a snowcone and man were they huge! We had lots of fun watching Ethan and we cant wait to watch is next game!

FIRST DAY AT A NEW SCHOOL!

Alexia and Ethan started their first day of school this week, and they are loving it! Alexia is into iCarly and Ethan is still into Star Wars. Alexia got new iCarly glasses and Ethan got new Spongebob glasses, i'm sure that if they made star wars glasses Ethan would have gotten them! Ethan obviously takes after his Dad! They had a great first day and they are both making new friends which I am so grateful for! Here are a couple of pictures I took of them on their first day, which I was running a little late to getting them off to school, go figure!

UPDATE!

Wow it seems like so much has gone on in the past couple of months! My poor blog has been neglected! Where to start? We moved up to Utah a couple of months ago and we are loving it! The kids started school, and they are enjoying every minute of it! Ethan is playing soccer again this year, and he loves it! He has had quite the improvement from last year! Olivia starts preschool next week and she is very excited about that! We signed Olivia up for gymnastics, she cant wait for that start, she is on a waiting list. Alexia is still playing the piano, she has made some new friends at school and is really enjoying it! Kaeliana is doing great we are working on potty training with her, hopefully that will be a success! Mya is growing like a weed, I cant believe she is almost 10 months old already! Jason is loving his job, he works very hard and I am thankful for that! We love and miss all of our family members and we hope all is well with everyone!

Memorial Day Weekend

This year for Memorial Day we went camping with family up at Manti! We stayed right across the street from the Temple, and it was gorgeous! We went fishing, made cute crafts, and rode in paddle boats, which by the way are alot harder than they look! I lost my wedding ring also, I was devasted, but my awesome and amazing husband went to look for it and with the power of prayer was able to find it in the dark, and in the mud! Thanks babe you are the best!

May Day Dances!

The kids had their annual May Day dances a month before school got out. Ethan's dance was the months in the year. Alexia danced to La Bamba with her cute homemade poodle skirt that her teacher made, which is also my aunt! She did an awesome job! They both did great and were so cute out there dancing away!

Easter Pics

This year for Easter we went up to Utah and had some fun with the kids! We had an Easter picinic with Aunt Tricia, Uncle Chard, Teancum, and Tarren! The kids had a blast looking for eggs and coloring them as well! Thanks so much for awesome time that we had, we love you guys lots!

GOOD TIME AT THE FAIR!

We took the kids to the fair this year and man was it cold! The wind blowing and raining but we still managed to have some fun! They got their faces painted and rode the rides in the cold cold wind!

FAMILY UPDATES

I thought I would post what we have been up to lately. Jason is still working (thank goodness!) I am coming to a close as PTA president, woohoo! We have been slowly going through our stuff to either give to DI, throw away, or sell. We are planning on moving when the kids get done with school. Ethan wasn't to excited about moving but when he found out we were going to be closer to Teancum and Tarren he couldn't contain his excitement! Alexia got her retainer last week, it is a bright pink that glows in the dark, she is pretty excited about it. Ethan is starting to read, and we are so proud of him! Olivia and Kaeliana are my little helpers throughout the day or at least they try to be! Mya is growing so fast, I cant believe how time has flown! We hope all is well with everyone!

GOOD TIMES AND THE DENTIST

Last week we went to the pediatrician for well checks for Olivia and Mya. Olivia got four shots and Mya got a cocktail of shots! They received books for their suffering. A little later that afternoon Alexia and I had dentist appointments to get our teeth cleaned. We both came out with no cavities ya! The kids picked prizes out of the treasure chest and we took a picture of Kaeliana wearing her prize that she picked all by herself! We are doing great! Alexia and Ethan had jump rope for heart today at school, and they had alot of fun! Alexia's teacher is teaching her how to sew on the sewing machine. She has been sewing together patches and she is doing an excellent job, she even irons the seams open! She has an amazing teacher who happens to be my aunt!

MORE FUN AT THE PARK

PIZZA AND THE PARK

This past Saturday we went to the park and had pizza! The kids had a blast playing at the park and eating pizza! Ethan brings home a different book every week that he reads, if he passes it off he gets a coupon for a free personal pan size pizza from pizza hut every month! He was so excited to present his coupon and receive his pizza! We have a collection of coupons! It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed it! The kids had pizza all over their faces, but that didnt stop them from being adorable in front of the camera!

ALEXIA'S PIANO RECITAL

Alexia had her second piano recital last night. She did a great job! Her teacher likes her students to memorize their recital pieces. Lexi played two songs and nailed them both! She is such a good piano player, her teacher is always complimenting to us at how good she is! We are so proud of her!

OLIVIA'S BIRTHDAY

We celebrated Olivia's birthday this past week, and we had a lot of fun! We decorated the table with Tangled, and we watched The Princess and the Frog! The next night we watched Gnomeo and Juliet, and had a lot of fun! She got lots of clothes and some fun toys too! She got a few dress up clothes, she loves to dress up! She is growing up so fast! Before I know it she will be going to school! We love her so much, she is such a special little girl! Here are a couple of pictures that we took of her on her special day! If you cant tell she is pretty excited, she had oreo cookie all over her face!

10 Years Ago Today

It has been 10 years ago today since my Dad passed away. I miss him so much. I miss the smell of his cologne, I miss his smile, I miss the sound of his voice, I miss the sound of him whistling. I miss the way he gave his big bear hugs. I wish more than anything that my kids could experience those big bear hugs and spending time with him. I know that they spent time with him before they came down to me. Showing them pictures of Grandpa and telling them stories just arent the same as having him here. Today is a very hard day!

VALENTINES DAY

I hope that everyone had a great valentines day! We had a great one up until Kaeliana puked everywhere after we put her to bed. I think that she had too much to eat! Alexia and Ethan had class parties which they both had fun at! Olivia had her class party on Wednesday and she had alot of fun! Jason surprised me with a dozen red roses when he came home from work on Monday and they are beautiful! Here are a few pictures that we have taken of the kids, enjoy!
