Cooper's new ride...not really

I thought this was such a cute picture of our little man! He loves to ride anything!

Jaxon's Preschool graduation

I can't believe my guy is going to be in kindergarten. He is so excited to go. He is such a good boy (most of the time) and a great learner.

Bray and gymnastics

So Braylee has been taking gymnastics since September and absolutely loves it!!! Here are some pictures taken last Friday at her meet.

Halloween fun!

For Halloween, we went to our ward trunk or treat where Brandon and Braylee received awards for their costumes. Brandon won for harriest legs and Braylee won for scariest costume. We had so much fun. We went with our great neighbors and decorated their trailer where we also won for best trunk. We then took the kids for traditional trick or treating. Here is a glimpse of our fun. Brandon was supposed to be Cher and I was supposed to be Sonny, but it turned out that he looks like a transvestite gone wrong and I look like my dad did in 1972. Anyway, enjoy....

Give me a minute mom!!

So everytime I have put Cooper in his high chair to feed him the past few days, he has decided to poop. His facial expressions say it all....I couldn't resist. The top one is the calm before the storm.

Jaxon and soccer

So Jaxon decided to play soccer this fall and guess who his coach is. That's right folks, it's me. Who would have thought that I would be a Utah soccer mom (just waiting for the minivan :) Anyway, he has enjoyed it and has done a lot better than he did at the first. Here's a few shots from a game. The bottom picture is Jaxon trying to get up from getting knocked down and me cheering him on. Sadly this happens a lot during the games. He doesn't understand that they are trying to take the ball from him.

crazy weather

Gotta love going from 90 degree weather down to 50!!! These pictures were taken Monday. My great neighbor Wendy and I decided why not one last hoorah with the pool. A little crazy with the pumpkins around.

Crazy Cooper!

Here are a few funny shots of Cooper recently. Dad and Braylee have been having fun with him.

Crazy Hair Day!

It was crazy hair day for Braylee's school. Here she is with her friends that she walks to school with. Yes that is Braylee's real hair, she loved it!

Jaxon's first day of preschool

Jaxon started preschool today and it's awesome because it is only 6 houses away. I can walk him there in 5 minutes, love that! He was sooooo excited. He has been asking everyday when he can go. He walked out of school and said I already have homework mom! I am hoping he stays that excited all the time.

1st grade...here I come!

Well, my baby is officially in school all day. I have mixed feelings. She is such a great help to me around the house and I think her brothers are going to miss her terribly. I can't believe she is ready for this. She is soooo excited and can't wait to start. Today is the day. She had her outfit all picked out last night and folded neatly by her bed. She looks so cute.

Fun in the sand

We enjoyed a fun day at a new reservoir about 20 minutes away. Thanks Maria for the find. The kids had a ball. As you can tell, they got quite dirty too. Braylee loved to be buried in the sand and Jaxon just love to play with it. Cooper was a trooper and hung out under the tent. He is such a good baby.

80's Flashback!!!

We threw an 80's party on Saturday night. We had so much fun with our neighbors. Everyone came dressed up and had a ball. Here are a few pictures from it. And yes, Brandon picked out his own outfit, I had nothing to do with it. I personally think he looks like a pedophile but that's just me. The top picture is Nate and Kristy; Next is Steve and Wendy; Kristy and I; Brandon and I. Both couples live near us.

I can sew!

O.k. so not really but I am learning. With the help of my sister in law, Michelle, I am learning to sew clothing. She is amazing with a sewing machine so I am learning from the best. This was my first attempt a dress for Braylee. She loves it and that's all that matters. I think in the process though, I was great comic relief for Michelle, she on a few occasions, asked me what I was making as I was starting to stitch down the wrong seam which would have ended with me sewing layers shut. Anyway, it was fun and I can't wait to learn more...

Jaxon's birthday!

Jaxon turns 4 on Tuesday but we had his party with family on Sunday. He wanted a Superman cake and this is what he got. As you can tell by his face he was pretty happy!

Cooper's 1st haircut

As sad as it was, it was time to give Cooper his first haircut. He just sat there in his chair as quiet as could be. I told Jaxon to pay attention because it is a chore to do his hair.

Kindergarten graduation

This took place on May 29. Braylee is officially on to 1st grade. I can't believe it. I am so not ready for the all day school thing, I missed her too much during the half days. Jaxon starts preschool too. I am just not ready. Anyway, she had a lot of fun with all the songs she had to sing, she was teaching Jaxon everyday. Here are a few pics...
