Preschool Graduation





















2 months





I am so glad Katera found the camera on her Ipod since that is about the only pictures I have lately. It's hard to take care of three kids and find time to get the camera out. The top pictures are of us in the exam room waiting for the doctor to come give him his two month check up. He weighed 12 lbs and is long and skinny! The next one is of him all wrapped up in his towel after a bath.





These are silly pictures I found on her Ipod. What a funny kid I have!

Swimming

After school on early out Friday I decided to take the kids swimming. We got permission from a hotel manager to swim at a hotel. Kelsey, Kenzi, Quincee, and Jade came with us. Nixon is too little for any swim suit I can find so he swam in a onesie. Even the swim diapers are way too big on him. He did really good in the water and the girls were glad to be out of the house. It is really hard to go anywhere or do anything fun for the girls with a little baby around. We sure do love him though!

Walkin' on Sunshine

And don't it feel good! Yeah!



It was decided that for Mother's Day this momma needed some sunshine. The only place to find it these days is in St. George. We spent the weekend just bummin', shopping, and playing in the sun and water. I took the girls to a splash park with Kacey and the boys while Jason took care of Nixon. Treyven caught a lizard while we were there and was the center of attention. There are not many pictures because the girls are stinkers and won't pose or stop long enough for me to get any.












These are the picture and letter that Sekoya gave me for Mother's Day. They also went shopping with their dad and got me a new flat iron for my hair.

Once Upon a Time....

.... was the theme of their spring dance recital. Sekoya danced to Kids in America and..... Katera danced to Funky Ballerina and Mickey Motion. They both did wonderful and were so fun to watch. Katera was a little nervous before it started, but you couldn't tell once she got on stage. My girls are such performers! They got to have their picture taken with the "Princess" and received trophies at the end. They were so excited to have those trophies!

My little dancers













Here are the professional photos taken of the girls and their dance classes. They sure loved dance this year. Their teacher Miss Kim is so fun and full of engergy.

Blessing Day

Nixon's blessing day was great. It was weird getting him ready and not adding a pretty bow to his head! It completely threw me off! He looked so handsome in his white outfit and I even caught a little smile! Jason did such a great job with the blessing. I told him they keep getting better each time. If we had any more kids he'd have it perfected. After the meeting we went home to sloppy joes for lunch. Grandma Sindy made a pretty fruit bouquet to go along with it. We were so glad that Great Grandma Carol was able to be here also.

Easter













































Easter was so late in April this year I thought we would be safe to plan outdoor activities. Wrong!! We were only going to go to the hills close by and have a picnic with a little four wheeling and shooting guns. We woke up Saturday morning to rain/snow flurries! What the crap is mother nature thinking? I am so sick of the cold wet weather I could just scream. So we settled for lunch at my mom's and a egg hunt in her yard. It did warm up a little by the afternoon so we went up by the water tank and rolled and threw eggs. This was my first time ever doing this, but it is a big tradition with people around here. I still don't understand the fun in it. After that Mom took the kids to the movie- Rio. Friday we had dinner at Mom's and then colored eggs. It's amazing how fast four kids can go through four dozen eggs.
