Happy Birthday, David!

It's my hubby's birthday today. I won't divulge his age, but he's older than me. We had a great day today. We started off with breakfast and than took Princess P and Kellie's suggestion of going to see the water falls up Middle Canyon. Kellie and Matt tried to explain, but we couldn't figure it out and didn't want to hike all over the place so we found a trail and took off. We hiked up hill for about 2 hours. Yeah with little ones that was not so great. Dawson was pooped about half way, my shoulders were killing me from carrying Cora in the front carrier and we were hungry. However, we were determined to get where we were going. A nice lady had told us of this hike with an old mine at the end and darn it we wanted to see it. So we kept going and Dawson kept crying and then Cait started into the whining and I was tired, I think Dave was still the only one that was determined. We kept going and walla we were there. A huge snow bank and a beautiful stream ended our nice hike. Dave found the mine and he and Cait took a tour. Finally we were on our way back down. I carried Dawson the whole way down and realized then that the reason his feet were hurting was because his shoes were too small (they grow like wild fire). And when we finally made it to the car the chillens were out like lights and I was about to fall apart. Dave loved it though and he was all that mattered today. I bought him a GPS that unfortunately didn't have a signal until we were almost to the top, but once it did get one it was kindof fun to play with. It doesn't have any good maps on it yet. I am afraid that it will just get thrown to the side and forgotten. Oh well.

But Happy Birthday, Love. You are the greatest and I hope that you had a wonderful day and that you didn't get too much of my pampering because I have to do it again tomorrow for Father's Day. I LOVE you so much!!

I just need to share

I was thinking that I didn't write down when Cora actually got up on her hands and knees to crawl. It was Sunday, just in case you were curious. I have a calender that has stickers for big milestones for Cait and Daws, but not for Miss Belle. Therefore, the blog is my little calender. She will be one next month, can you believe it? She went to a well child checkup yesterday and is fit as a fiddle, except for the cold of course. She gained back the pound she lost (17 lbs 12 oz) and she is still 27 inches. She is pretty average, but the Dr. didn't make sense when he was telling me her %'s. I guess we will see next well child. She is also actively pulling herself up and making a mess. She pulled out all of the wipes yesterday, and was loving it. She growls when you take something away or if she wants something and you won't give it to her. I love my Miss Belle, just so you know.

I've been Busy!!!

I have wanted to paint my living room since we moved into this house. I have pleaded and pleaded and done everything I could think of to get David to let me paint that room. Well, now we are throwing the idea around about selling our house and buying a new one. So now that we are leaving I got to paint my living room. I think that is just not fair. But anyway. I didn't have my nephew today so I sent my children to my mother-in-laws house for the past two days. I was up with David at 5:30 yesterday morning to get on with the project. I pretty much painted nonstop from 5:30a.m to 9 p.m. I got all the walls painted and only one small wall needed the second coat. So I got up not quit so early this morning and finished. It is now 3:50 p.m. and I just finished putting the room back together. I was a little worried about the tan color on the wall because it looked really yellow at first, but now I really like it. I know you can't fully enjoy the beauty of it unless you had seen my living room before, but trust me it is leaps and bounds better than before.

Okay in the pictures it looks really yellow, but it doesn't in person.

Home At Last.

My cousin Bryan has been in Iraq for the last year and he returned home today. We had a little party for him at his granparents house. I just wish to extend to him my gratitude for him and his sacrifice to serve our country. I am glad that he was able to return saftely as well as the rest of his unit, which alot were from my home town. So Welcome Home and we love you.
I suprised him with the picture, so he looks funny, forgive him.

My friend had this on her blog and I have always wanted to know who I would be. I am suprised by Snow White, but whatever.
You Are Snow White!

Pure and trusting. You are a gentle soul who can get along with just about anyone. Everyone you meet instantly falls in love with you. How can they resist? You have a pure, lovable nature that's irresistable. Just don't trust everyone who comes across your path.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

I have a hard time with teh everyone falls in love with you, I have seen that not to be true, but once again, whatever.

Going Private???

So tonight I attended a fireside for the youth in our ward, with a guest speaker who is a part of the task force against child predators. I was really thrown by the ways that people, the wrong people, get a hold of personal information. So I have decided that I am going to go private. I have most of your email addresses, but not all so email me with those, by Friday I will be going private. I wish that I didn't have too, but I really am terrified of the world we live in today.
Thanks to all of you

Slip and Slide Time, oh and the zoo again.

Monday was the perfect day to bring out the slip and slide. Cait has been asking since December when she could play in the S n' S again. I kept telling her daddy's birthday (June 14) because I thought that would be the warmest day, but I was proven wrong. So we played, okay they played and I took pics and video. Cait has gotten much better at the S n' S since last year and Buddy will finally run through it, he even slides a bit.

Today we went to the Zoo with Aunt Heather and chillen's. It was great fun, I love having a pass.

Here are the cousins, you know Cait, then there's Joseph, and Samantha, Aunt Heather is right behind them. I can always count on Miss Belle looking at the camera, when you say cheese she smiles and looks at the camera. She's such an attention hog.
We are sooooo big, okay one day, we hope?
