What we have been up to........

I regrett to say I did not take pictures of any of the other kids, so it looks as if Cayden is my favorite, but what we did was play play play!!!! Because of the last couple of weeks being so hectic, I promised my kiddos that when it all settled down I would spend some one on one time with each of them.

Cayden wanted me to play ..... you guessed it TRACTORs out in the dirt!!!! What was soooo COOL was that Mike( a while ago) welded him his own screeners so he can dump his tractors in these TWO different sized screens, exact replicas of the ones the big boys use!!!!! These are the diierant piles of dirt we made with them, it was actually ALOT of fun!!!


on Saturday we all went to the park to celebrate Amberlee's birthday, and again Cayden was the only one I took the camera out for, you'd think it would have been for Cyrene, she was wearing a cute little summer outfit.... I took a picture of her later when we got home and before I changed her into her pj's.. i will post it next!
Colby and I played with his collection of HotWheels and Camber and I played stuffed animals, plus each of them had a night where they stayed up later than the rest to watch T.V. with me.
Carlie had her spring break this last week and we bagan the work on pulling the plug ( the binky) on her she did really well she still gets it for naps and bedtime, but the rest of the day we remind her of what a "BIG GIRL" she is and she seems really undersatand and agree with us.... I thought it would be a nightmere of a week ,but it all went quite well!!!!!!

This week is e new adventure...... starting some new ways to communicate with Carlie, doing school EACH day with the kids, except Friday, because we are headed to Bullhead to visit my parents and run some errons, Then on Saturday I get to go to a neat Relief society fireside, where Del Parson will be sharing his presentation on the stories behind his artwork, so i'm really excited to go.... and then that night we a have a youth fund raiser dinner so the YW and YM can raise $ for camp. These are ALWAYS so fun we allready paid for our dinner, and i'm going to make....yup.........lemon bars to auction off..... busy, but fun week!!!!

Wow, Cayden is so lucky to have top of the line construction toys; even custom mad ones! It sounds like a fabulous week with your family! Keep having fun!

I love Del Parson! He spoke to my ward Relief Society when I lived in Cedar City. He has an amazingly sad story, but inspiring. I can't wait for you to go, you'll be balling your eyes out!!! And it will change how you live! I want to come!!!!!! I'm coming to Kingman today to stay with you!

Amy your kids are so cute! I just love them! I was wondering if you could email me some pictures of Carlie and I. I know there was a few we took together. Also here is a website you should check out and send to ALL of your friends and family. It's a website Randy put together and he did an awesome job!
