All I want for Christmas is my 3 front teeth

2008-12-18T11:00:00.005-07:00

We had a very eventful day yesterday. It started out good but turned very quickly. Dawson had his Kindergarten Christmas program in the morning which was very cute. After that we went to Walmart for some groceries then to McDonald's for Lunch. As Dawson was getting down from the table to go play he slipped and fell hitting his mouth on the bench. As we rushed to the bathroom he was bleeding uncontrollably so I decided to take him to the emergency room then they sent him to a dentist which had to pull 3 of Dawson's top teeth. In all Dawson was very brave and still in good spirits. He was excited this morning when he woke up to find the Tooth Fairy left him some money.

Park City

2008-11-19T10:52:00.002-07:00

On Oct 26th we went to Park City for a few days to stay in my moms time share. It was really nice there was an activity room for the kids were they played games, made crafts, and played with toys. The outdoor pool was heated so the kids got to swim, but it was still to cold for me luckily there were 6 hot tubs. It was a quick fun getaway.

Trick or Treat Street

2008-11-03T21:22:00.005-07:00

The Saturday before halloween we decided to try the Trick or Treat Street they have in at the South Town Expo Center. The place was decorated like a village and the kids walked around knocking on doors, It was really fun. They also had little games, and crafts for the kids to do. I also liked that is was indoors (so the weather was nice), and it was not crowded at all.

My little Ballerina

2008-10-21T14:45:00.003-06:00

I walked into the living room the other day and saw kennedy dancing around with superman. she had changed into her ballerina outfit and had Superman by the arms spinning. She tried to get Dawson to dance with her but he refused. I guess it is time to put her in dance lessons.

Bad Hair Day

2008-09-11T08:45:00.004-06:00

When I got Emma out of her crib I just laughed, her hair was sticking straight up.

This is how I did her hair yesterday. This is my first baby that has had hair and It's so much fun. Especially now when she is my only little girl with hair.

School

2008-08-28T08:33:00.003-06:00

Well today is the third day of Kindergarten and its a struggle like I thought it would be to get Dawson out of Bed and ready for school. I pretty much have to drag him to the bus stop. But the good thing is as soon as the doors open he gets on with out a fight, thank goodness. And surprisingly I love School my mornings are a little calmer now.

End of First Day

2008-08-26T17:03:00.004-06:00

12:00 rolled around and I was anxiously waiting for the bus to arrive. I was hoping that Dawson had made it on the bus and that he had a great first day. At 12:20 the bus pulled up and Dawson got off with a smile on his face, what a relief.

First day of Kindergarten

2008-08-26T09:23:00.002-06:00

I can't believe it!! Dawson is going to Kindergarten. He was so excited, he was up early ready to head for the bus stop. It was so hard a part of me wanted to follow the bus to school to make sure he was alright, but I didn't.

Hair Cut

2008-08-26T09:15:00.003-06:00

If you can't tell who the pictures are, it is my little girl Kennedy. Yesterday she found scissors and I'm sure you can guess what happened. She cut her hair, she had cut it so bad that the only thing that could be done was to shave it. I couldn't believe it, I was so upset. I told her from now until her hair grows she has to wear headbands so people can tell she is a girl. I even thought about getting her ears pierced.

Thanksgiving Point

2008-08-26T09:05:00.003-06:00

On August 20th we went to Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. They have a really cute Farm there where the kids can pet and learn about animals. They got to ride on a Pony, Kennedy was a little scared at first and had Dad walk with her, but Dawson loved it. From there we went over the the dinasaur muesum, it has alot of hands on activities that the kids love.

Sleeping Baby

2008-08-26T08:36:00.005-06:00

I finally moved Emma into a crib. It was hard for me because she is my last baby and I didn't want to let go. There is something comforting about your baby sleeping in your room, but she had grown out of her cradle. I had layed her down for a nap and later went to check on her and had to grab my camera. She looked so cute and peaceful. she loves to cuddle with her blankie. She is transitioning fine to the crib

Emma is 5 months now and is rolling over.

Blessing Day

2008-08-26T08:20:00.003-06:00

On August 3rd Emma was blessed by her Great Grandpa. There will be more pictures to come, when I was downloading the pictures from my camera the computer crashed and all my pictures were deleted off my camera and were not copied to the computer. I was about in tears and I remembered my mom brought her camera. So as soon as I get copies from her I will post them.

In Memory

Ferron Reservoir

2008-07-11T21:06:00.002-06:00

we had so much fun camping and fishing at Ferron Reservoir this last week. Fishing was awesome, in 3 days time we caught 60 fish. We went on trail rides and just enjoyed the outdoors. We were sad the week was over, but glad to come home to a shower.

4th of July

2008-07-11T18:05:00.003-06:00

Our Vegas Vacation

2008-06-21T15:47:00.002-06:00

We took a Vacation to the fabulous Las Vegas. We stayed in our time share condos, my sister, her husband and my mom, her husband stayed in a room a couple doors down from ours. We spent each day by the pools and just relaxing in the warm weather. Dawson and Kennedy both loved swimming but Emma didn't like the water much. We took the shuttle to the strip for dinner one night but mainly we just stayed in the resort. We had so much fun!!

Preschool Graduation

2008-06-21T14:54:00.005-06:00

He did it!!! On May 21st Dawson graduated preschool and is now moving on to Kindergarten, I can't believe it!!

Dawson

2008-06-21T14:39:00.003-06:00

Dawson is finally old enough to play sports. I signed him up for soccer last fall to see if he liked it. The first couple of games he liked but then you could tell that he was not interested. So this spring I signed him up for Tball, he likes it better. It is so fun to watch 5 year old's play. When Dawson is not standing on his head or throwing his mitt in the air he is pretty good. He has 1 game left this season and so far he still likes to play.

Emma

2008-06-19T13:59:00.002-06:00

Emma is getting so big too fast. She is 3 months old already. She is so much fun, she is starting to coo, laugh and is full of personality. She was born with hair like her dad, it sticks straight up and she hasn't lost any of it. She is such an easy going baby, thank goodness!

The Zoo

2008-06-18T23:05:00.003-06:00

It was one of the first nice days in May and daddy surprised us by coming home from work and taking us to the Zoo. This was Kennedy's first trip that she really new what was going on and was excited to see all the animals. Ever since then when she takes a bath she plays like she is a crocodile.

New Playset

2008-06-18T16:32:00.002-06:00

We bought the kids a play set for this summer hoping that it would keep them entertained. They don't play on it as much as I hoped but I'm still glad we got it. When they do play on it they have fun. Eventually we would like to put curbing around it and add the playground bark.

Dawson's 5th Birthday party. The family came over, had dinner and cake and ice cream. Dawson and Brad went to the Monster Truck show a few days earlier for his birthday and Dawson loved it. It is all he talked about he even had to have a monster truck birthday cake. It is hard to believe that he is 5 years old.
