Super busy weekend!!!!

We have had the busiest weekend!!! Friday Olivia danced at the scarecrow festival. She was awesome!!!quite the little dancer she's become. It was fun to see her shake it and groove it...After her dancing we hung out with My sister's Hus, Alex and all the kids and the rest of Utah that was there too. Everything we tried to go on was about a hour wait, so imagine trying to stay in line with 7 little kids, not fun! But after some crying and kicking and screaming from just Addison we had a wonderful time.

HALLE FRIEND PARTY

On Saturday we had a little party for our little angel, Halle she got to invite 3 friends and we took them to lunch Halle's favorite Chick Filet! Then we were off to Jungle Jim's, they got ride the rides and they had a great time, It's so fun to see Halle grow into a little girl, she is the sweetest thing. She loves to whisper in our ear, I love mom and dad so much!!! Goes to bed with a smile on her face and wakes up with a smile, truly what more could we ask for. I hope that she will always be this happy and it makes being a mom so easy and fun!! Life is so simple when you are 4, just play and eat and sleep. I need to be more like her.

FAMILY PARTY

On Sunday we had our family party, yes another one!! Mom and dad are very tired to say the least. It's fun to be able to get together with family and celebrate birthdays. We are so blessed to have such wonderful extended family. Halle was excited to get more presents...

kids are off track

The kids are off track...

The kids are off track and I'm trying to make it fun for everyone. Last week I let the kids invite some friends over for lunch. Olivia invited Karlee, they both hated the lunch I had made so I had to make them something different, picky, picky girls. They got a creative made up a play and preformed it for me ( Karlee is very good at the German accent) Olivia just laughed when it was her turn to speak. Cade had Maxton come over, they got a long so well, they watched a movie and played video games, I know boys and video games it's a shocker!!! Halle had Natalie come over and they played and watched the little Mermaid, that is Halle favorite movie right now, we watch once a day, I love to hear sing Ahhhh, Ahhh. You know the song. And cute Addison just followed all of them around. She was a little sick, had a tummy ache, so If any of kids caught her flu, sorry.... I love having the kids home all day and get to hang out with them and see them enjoy just being kids. That is what makes me smile.

On another note, seriously can football season just be over.... holly crap, my sweet sweet husband is playing on 3 football leagues and is so competitive that I was watching dancing with the stars and he changed the channel and thought I would not mind so he could see how he was doing in his league. He won both games so now he is feeling like the man!!! just silly If you ask me.

Cade just turned 7!!!!

Cade just turned 7!!!!

Our little Cade just turned 7 years old! I can't even believe it... Seems like time goes by so fast and I don't feel like I'm old enough to have a 9 year and now a 7. I still feel like I'm 25 so that would make me 14 when Olivia was born... hmm Anyway back to Cade, we had a Magic Party. We hired a magician. The kids loved him, he was very funny and very entertaining to the adults too. It's great to have family so close and share these wonderful times with us.
Cade is the funniest little kid. He is one of those kids that will say anything that is on his mind

(so if he offends you, I'm so so sorry in advance). Very sweet to his sisters, loves to play, loves his books and is a very good artist, he likes to make comic books. Poor kid has 3 sisters that yell, fight, punch and scream at him and he usually never fights back. I love him for that. I'm so lucky to have such a sweet little boy he makes everything so fun and is such a joy to have around.
