Aspen's Preschool Program




Aspen with her friends Brittany, Angela and Astin.

Aspen has accomplished her 1st year at Preschool. Her teacher does a cute little program at the end of the year. They sing and do actions to the songs. It is so cute. I am so proud of her being such a good girl in school. Her teacher had her hands full for this class with mostly girls and I swear half of them had a name that started with "A".

Fun Day Muddin on the Wheelers

Are we cute or what?
My kids love their little Berkley!

Crazy boys livin' on the edge trying to get each other wet or dirty!

We had so much fun with our friends Brad and Shay 4wheeling and her cousin Jessica, and of course our kiddos! (Funny that Jesse's sister Shae is married to a Brad and we have friends that are Shay and Brad) The girls drove the ranger up the mountain and then we switched around on the 4wheelers. The boys went through the huge mud puddle but while I was driving a wheeler by myself I definiteley got muddy. My one shoe was pretty much soaked because I got stuck in a puddle of mud. We had fun getting some sun and away from the world. I am so grateful for good friends who understand me and can talk too and not be judged. I love my BFF Shay.

Aspen's Dance Recital








Aspen's Dance Recital was this weekend. She did such a great job! The theme was how "Unique" every girl is. Her classes' dance was the Princess dance. Oh how so fitting to my sweet little princess Aspen Bailee. The girls danced to "A dream is a wish" the remix. It was my favorite little girls dance and of course they had the cutest costumes. She had 5 performances in 2 days. It was great! She was so tired by the end. Most of her fans came to the 8pm show on Friday night and when I got her from back stage she said "That was awesome, I did sooooooooooo good, Mom!" Oh how cute is she?

Mother's Day!

This poem I received from Dalton, it is so true. Here's to all you great mom's!
My mother's job is sometime's hard, and I heard her say, "The hours are long, and if I could, I'd like to change the pay." Her profession has variety, and I will tell you now about the many hats she wears--and why and when and how.
My mommy's a nurse who fixes patches, all of my hurts and my sores and my scratches.
My mother's a chef who fixes each dinner, fit for a king---a blue ribbon winner!
My mom's a chauffeur who drives pretty slow, but gets me where I need to go.
My mom's a detective, and no one is greater, at getting the truth from me sooner or later.
My mommy's a gardener and works really hard, planting and weeding and grooming our yard.
My mother's a maid--at least that's what she said-'cause she cleans up the house and makes every bed.
My mother's an angel--a queen in disguise--who teaches the gospel with tears in her eyes.
Today take these hats off, and please wear no other. Let me do your work, to show
I LOVE YOU, MOTHER!

"The Boys" Jace, Cohen and Keegan



This past weekend we went on a 4 wheeling joy ride in between Manti and Sterling. The kids had so much fun with their cousins. We went in the "red hills" and went by Gunnison Res. The kids threw rocks in the water and saw a few fish jumping and swimming at the very top of the water. Dalton enjoyed finally getting to ride his 4 wheeler. He is so obedient while driving it. I wish he was like that all the time, but I guess he just a normal kid. What a great outdoor adventure. I love 4 wheeling, but hate the dirt in my hair. It was a blast though!

Big D and CoCo's Room Makeover

BEFORE
AFTER


So when we bought our house three years ago we loved that it had a boys room already done. But after awhile I got sick of a wall that I couldn't hang anything on. So ta da! I love to change things and come to find out Dalton didn't really like the baseball diamond anyway, his favorite sport is basketball. Dalton likes sports and Cohen likes anything that goes vroom vroom. So I had this lady paint the basketball, baseball and football. Then I got some canvas and whipped up this train, plane and automobile(truck). The choo choo is really funky looking but that's okay with me, because I free handed it. Jesse never knew I could draw, hello I have known him for over 12 years. I still need to do some finish touches but here is the almost final look!

Big D The digger boy!




Jesse was tearing out our neighbor's driveway on Saturday, so they could have a wider one and so it wasn't all crumbled. Jesse went to town and of course Bid D aka Dalton had to have a try. I can't believe how well a 6 year old can run a machine so big, his daddy has taught him well. He followed Jesse's instructions so well and got the last big portion of the driveway up. He lifted that whole piece up by himself. He is a lucky boy, every little boys dream is to be in a machine that can dig. Aspen and Cohen of course got to help too.
