First Grade field trip

Samantha's first grade class went on a field trip to a farm in Logan to see what life was like in 1919. They had a great time miling cows and learning how to make butter. The only sad part was that it was snowing!! I am so ready for summer!!

Okay I am so happy that Zach is now at the finger food stage!!! I love that I can put him in the high chair and just let him go to town! I love how messy he gets too.

Weekend at Grandmas

This past weekend we went to Salt lake for a bridal shower for our new aunt to be Bree. Uncle Jon is getting married on May 15. We are so excited. We spent the whole weekend looking for clothes for the wedding. Sam is going to wear a beautiful pink dress that Bree got for her. As for the boys Alisa and I went to EVER store in South town mall looking for bow ties and dress shirts for the three babies and for Connor and Ray. I can't believe how hard it was to find anything. I guess dress shirts are out of season. We finally found three matching dress shirts for the babies at Gap at Fashion place mall. But we did not have any luck with bow ties or anything for Connor and Ray. So on Monday after Sam got on the bus the boys and I went to Logan to begin the search again. I went to a children's specialty shop and SCORED!! Yeah they had bow ties. As we were looking at the ties Connor dropped some on the floor, so of course I told him to PICK THEM UP. As he bent down he started screaming. I casually hugged him and asked what happened. And then I looked at him and noticed that his eye was bloody. AAHH!! After examining it closer I realized that the metal rod sticking out from the wall had poked him in the eye. I was pretty sure that it was okay but we still ran over to the insta care to make sure. Everything is okay the Doctor said he will just have a bloody eye for like two weeks. YEAH!! Anyway we had a wonderful time visiting Grandma and Grandpa.

Yummy chicken

Okay so i have the best new dinner idea. You take chicken strips and roll them in ranch dressing and then in crushed gold fish crackers. Then bake them in the oven for like 15-20 min. and whalla dinner that kids love. Just had to share.

Trip to California

We recently took a trip to California to visit Ty's parents. The kids loved going to visit Grandma and Grandpa, going to the beach, seeing Las Vegas, playing in St. George, but most of all they loved getting out of the cold and seeing the sun again.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter!!! We had a wonderful Easter. We first had a SNOW easter egg hunt here in Bear lake and then we went to SLC to have a easter egg hunt with the family. Sam loved the warm weather and decided she would wear a tank top, even though it was only like 60. Connor loved playing with his cousin Ray, they are out of control together. And Zach loved to see his cousin Portor but was sad that his other little cousin Riley couldn't make it, his daddy was at the fire house. We hope all of you had a wonderful Easter.

Our Dollhouse

Okay so I thought it was about time that I put a picture on here of our dollhouse!!! This is the rental that we have been living in sense August. We moved in here thinking that we would only be in here a month or two. LOL. This is place has two bedrooms and is about 1000 sq feet on TWO levels. HE HE. We have made multiple offers on different homes but have always backed out because it just has never felt right. Which is such a wonderful blessing. The good news is that we are still in the dollhouse and we never bought a home. This is good news because we once again will be moving on to a new adventure. Ty's job at the high school is not quite working out. The school here is to controlling with the kids and Ty feels that the kids are not treated the way that they deserve to be treated. So we now get to create a new adventure and move on. At this point in time we dont know where life will take us. Maybe to SLC, Logan, or California? We are looking at all of our options and seeing what is the best opportunity for our family. Well I hope you all have a greater sense of gratitude for your homes after seeing our cute dollhouse. However this has been such a wonderful experience to live in this dollhouse for so long becasue: we are all together all the time (there is no room to go anywhere else), we have realized that we don't need all the stuff we have (everything is still in storage), we have spent more time as a family then we ever used to (there is no where to go up here in the winter so you get to stay inside all the time), we have saved money by not eating out (the resturants are only open on the weekends up here in the winter), and most of all I will never take for granted the little things in life like a dishwasher, a garbabge disposal, a garage, supermarkets, firemen and paramedics that are sitting there waiting for me to call (everything is volunteer up here, which kinda scares me). I am so grateful for all of the wonderful times that we have had up here in Bear lake but I am definately looking forward to a new adventure.

Sky Johansen

Okay so I finally figured out how to get pictures on to a slide show. I have been wanting to get these pictures on here for forever. I had these pictures done of the kids by Sky Johansen. She is amazing. You can check out her website at Skyjohansen.com . I am so thankful to have these beautiful pictures of my beautiful children. I will cherish them always.
