All his hard work pays off...

He and his dad have been working hard at his badges and rank advancements. Sloane even went to scout camp for a whole week to help him earn as many badges as he could and tonight it all payed off at the Court of Honor when he was awarded with the most badges, Fourteen!! He was so excited and tells us a lot how he can't wait to earn his Eagle award. We are so happy for you our wonderful Dash boy!

He's a planner!

Every night this cute boy lays out his clothes for the next day. He's mister organized and it cracks me up when I go into his room and find this laying on the floor with his socks included!

My Happy Helper...

I got so much done because of this lovely lady;) My good friend Laticia came over and offered her time and talents to my project.....Shhhh it's for Christmas! I love making gifts every year for the kids. Thank you so much,  you saved me a lot of time and it was fun chatting the afternoon away!

Cute face!

This cute face melts our hearts! He is getting close to WALKING!! He's going to be one of those small midget boys that are walking around and you think to your self that he's too small to be walking! He was practicing today going back and forth between the couch and ottomen and he got so excited for himself, it was too cute! He's only 9 1/2 months old!

Obsessed....

This is where you will find JR almost everyday sitting yes this CLOSE (I hope the sitting to close to the TV will ruin your eyes thing, is just an old wives tale) He has to have his cars with him every time he watches this movie and he has to watch it at least three or more times a day or he will have a fit!!

What I have been up to lately...

Canning, Canning and more Canning!! These yummy peaches were given to me by my good friend Gale who gleened them from the LDS orchard and they were so fun to can! I have canned tomatoes from our garden and then lots and lots of Jam! I even have my own raspberries from our yard this year that I am going to can! I love canning so much that my family thinks I am nutty! But in turn they have a happy mommy and reserved food!

Violets 8th Hannah Montana Pajama Birthday Party..

The Hawaiian Princess Made this party fun! She made up a Scavenger hunt for the girls and they all loved it! Then "Hannah" Made a special appearance and EB Boy believed that she was really Hannah Montana, it was too funny! We had ELEVEN SCREAMMING girls here and they had Pizza, Root beer, decorating cupcakes and more! They all had a blast!

First day of Preschool

As you can see by the look on his face he wasn't happy that he didn't get to take his coloring box home with him, as a matter of fact he threw a fit right there, Ughhh!

EB boy is lovin' preschool!! Me and five other ladies are doing co-op preschool for our kiddios and it's too fun. EB boy looks forward to it! It is three days a week, Mon., Wed., And Fridays and he's always getting up and getting dressed and ready to go and excited! We made up a schedule of things to teach and we take turns and it's a fun and learning filled two hours for them.

Labor Day Weekend.....

We had a fun weekend with just the kiddios! We took them up to Black Lake Canyon to go swimming and play in the sand and that was quite the adventure....On our way up there, we ran into a hay bail truck that caught on fire and so we sat and waited for almost an hour but the boys were entertained by the firetrucks! So then the patrol officers told us of another way there so us and the rest of the line of cars turned around and went the other way that was told to us by the officer. Well on our way there we were stopped again, this time a logging truck had tipped over and logs were everywhere, so are we meant to go? So we turned around and by the time we got back on the main road again the fire was cleared and we went on our merry way to the lake. Then on the way home we stopped at the Golden Corral for a bite to eat, we love eating there with the kids because it's never a waist of food! Sloane put up the tent and left it up all weekend long and the kids loved it, movies, popcorn, pillow fights until midnight, and M &M's !! We also stayed up late playing all sorts of games with the kids. It was a fun filled weekend, we love being with the kids they are so fun!!

Danny Boys New Life!

As you can see from his hat this is his new life! Sloane ordered this padded helmet all the way from Jerusalem to keep Danny boys head from slamming against our hard wood floor. It scared us a couple of times when he hit the floor hard and then turned white and then wanted to immediately fall asleep. So my protective husband looked online and found this cool helmet to protect his sweet head.

Hailey Comes to visit!

Hailey Wanted to learn how to make hommade jam, We made Marion Berry jam and Strawberry jam,Yummy! She chose to do that over going shopping, What a happy cooker!

We had so much fun while she was here! Sloane took the kids to Black Canyon and did some Jet skiing, and then took them to float the river, they had a blast! I took them to the mall and yes, ALL the kids!  We also went to the park were they have splash pads and they had fun! It was a fun time just like it always is, we love having our cousin here for a visit every summer!

Oh my he's Crawling...

Our Baby is Crawling and standing against furniture Ect. He loves to be free to move about while daddy tries to put him in something to keep him contained to keep him safe, he loves his baby. He loves to sit on his knees and we think it's too cute!
