Cabin-Memorial Weekend

Carden - 10 Months

Since he is a couple days shy of 11 months, I figured I better post his 10 month post:)

This boy is the happiest and easiest kid ever! These past 10...almost 11 months have been very wearing on me, having 3 kids is no easy task. But I am so grateful every day for Carden and what an easy baby he is! Now...he is not perfect...he has been my worst sleeper...but from the hours of about 8 am to 8pm...I have a little angel baby that helps me get through those hard days. I love this boy so much and he brings so much happiness into our home! Parker and Ryler are just as obsessed with him, as the day he was born and can't get enough of him each day. 

I love this sweet baby boy!!!

*Oh...and he is WALKING. I can't believe my little baby that was JUST BORN is walking. Makes me sad and happy all at once. He is just growing up so fast, I want to freeze time...but I love watching him grow and learn!

37th Anniversary

My parents anniversary was last week and was the first one my mom would be spending without my dad here with her. That morning, my sister Kylie, my mom and I went to the temple to do sealings and it was a really special experience. I loved being in the temple with her and could feel my dad close by. That night, all of the kids and grand kids met up at Aloha Kitchen( my parents favorite) for dinner and to celebrate our wonderful parents and the choice they made 37 years ago. It was an emotional day for me, wishing my dad was here to celebrate with my mom...but how grateful I am for my parents and all they have taught me.

Fishies

I love my 3 little fish!!!

Wings

This kid could eat wings for breakfast, lunch and dinner IF I would let him!

Bridal shower for Aimee

Aimee is getting married!!! Crazy! I am so happy for her and Sam and the Clouse's hosted such a fun bridal shower for her!

Preschool Graduation

I can't believe how quickly this year flew by! Usually by the last month of preschool, I am counting down the days until summer...but I feel like I didn't even have time to do that! It was here before I was ready! I think graduation went well, we had a great turnout of family and friends and the kids were adorable!! Parker "officially" graduated too! I can't believe he will be moving on to kindergarten. This was one of the craziest/busiest years with 3 kids at home and teaching preschool so I am looking forward to next year and I know Parker will love kindergarten...but at the same time, I am sad that he will be heading off to school, I know I am gonna miss having him around and since he has never done anything without me...not even primary or preschool(since I am with him for both), it will be an adjustment for both of us! I love my sweet Parker boy!!!

Ryler

My sweet RyRy...
 
doesn't like ANYTHING hot.
not his food.
not his bath water.
Nothing.

must put his own shoes on.
no help is wanted.
and if you tell him his shoes are on the 
wrong feet...
YOU are wrong.

has trouble pronouncing all of his letters.
but does NOT like it if you do not 
understand him,
so listen very closely.

has been potty training for an eternity
and is sorta
kinda
finally
getting it.

refuses to take naps.
most of the time.
must sleep with his blankies
his blue one
his green one
and his special one.
yep...all three.

 is always itching,
but won't let you touch
his eczema with medicine.

he must open the door, 
if someone else gets to it first
a meltdown is sure to come.

he may push me to my limits, 
but he has taught me
PATIENCE.

he is the first to wake
every single day.
he plays quietly
always letting me sleep in.

he is so ticklish
and has the best laugh.
his smile lights up my world
his dimples melt my heart.

he is a smart cookie
knows more than most 
kids who are older than him.

he is a puzzle genius.
he can put a puzzle together 
faster than me.

he gives the best hugs 
and the smooshiest kisses.

he loves primary
sitting quietly every week.
he says the sweetest prayers
and has a testimony.

 he loves to help me
help Carden
help daddy
and sometimes even Parker.

he loves his grandmas 
and grandpas
his cousins and 
playing outside.

he is very organized 
and likes things clean.
he finds happiness 
in the littlest things.

he loves to share
and is always kind.
 he takes care of his toys
and loves to draw.

he is obsessed with animals
but rarely will touch one.
he loves trash packs
he loves the ipad
 he loves Caillou.

he has the sweetest and 
softest heart and has taught me
how to better
LOVE.

Last t-ball game

Parker had his last t-ball game and did great! He got to play 1st base and catcher so he got to be in on the action! I am so proud of him for playing with a group of kids that he didn't know, he made friends and did a great job this season! They had a pizza party and cupcakes after the game and passed out their pictures. The trophies were supposed to be there but weren't, so he will get that later! What a fun season, with sooo many fans at every game supporting him! I think he easily had the bigger cheering section:) the coach said something about each kid and I laughed that he said "pound per inch...Parker had the hardest hit of everyone on the team. You look at him as he walks up and you might think he is small, but then he would whack that ball so hard!" haha

Water Day

I can't believe how fast this year of preschool went!! I have loved it and will miss this group so much! All 12 are moving on to kindergarten! We enjoyed a water party, before our last day of school---graduation is tomorrow!!

Mothers Day

On mothers day we went to Tanner and Chaya's for a yummy dinner and enjoyed time as a family! It was also Matt's birthday this year, so I made him a Reese's Oreo icecream cake or dessert. It was such a wonderful day and I am so thankful for my wonderful mother and mother-in-law and I love my hubby so much and hope he had a wonderful birthday! I am sooo grateful to be a mom of 3 adorable boys and couldn't have asked for a better day!

A Mothers Brunch

A good friend of my dads, who also manages the Hilton invited our entire family down and fed us the most amazing all you can eat buffet, honoring all the mothers! It was delicious and such a joy to be together as a family and I am so grateful to have such an incredible mom!!!

Best Dad

Yes I took this picture in church...don't judge me! I was just laughing when I looked over and saw my most amazing husband with all 3 monkeys at church. He is the best dad in the world!

Chipped Tooth

Can't really tell but we discovered that this boy somehow managed to chip off the bottom of one of his front teeth!? Luckily it's not really noticeable and he is so chill, we are not sure when it even happened?? Love this boy!! My little Matt junior!
