Back to School!!!

I am so ready to send them to school!!! Only three more weeks today!!! They are all ready to go. We don't need a thing. I packed up their stuff yesterday after we went shopping for the rest of the school supplies. I don't need a thing! I don't think I have never been prepared this early before!!! Usually I get it done the week before. What does that tell you? Good bye summer vacation!!!
I love to shop for school supplies!!! I love to go to Walmart and browse their isles and get the supplies we need. I want to buy it all!!! And I would if I could. I did however buy 40 spiral notepads for .5 each. So many good deals!!!

My Super Great Find!!!

I was at Target yesterday getting the last of Rhett and Kaylee's school supplies. As I was making my way back up to the front of the store I decided to skim through the clearance, and I found this monkey pot holder! If you know me at all, you know Ethen is my little monkey. I also needed more pot holders or oven mitts(my other ones are burned through). However, there was no price on it so I went and found someone to look up the price. And to my surprise, it was only .74!!!

My Little Man

Last night I went to the grocery store, and got back a little late. When I went upstairs, I found my kids all watching t.v., so I promptly had them brush their teeth and get ready for bed. Well, when I was helping the kids swish their mouthwash, I looked over at Ethen, and he was trying to put Kaylee's shirt on. He was so cute, I had to take a picture to share with all of you!!!

Grateful

My baking and cooking canisters just waiting for me on the counter to use them

Starting Fresh

There's something about a fresh notebook and a brand new pen. What to write; a story? A plan? Or just another shopping list. I don't know. It seems like the options are endless and I am up for the challenge!

Grateful

I know it has been a couple of weeks, but our computer is dead. I mean dead. There is no coming back from this. I finally have access to a computer to upload pictures and make new posts. So here are my gratefuls for the week.

I am grateful for:

• My husband getting a job where he is home before it gets dark
• Getting a phone that works anywhere in the house
• Going to the temple with my husband
• Being able to cook for my family
• Watching my kids act all crazy--kids just being kids

Rhett's 3rd tooth is out!!!

We finally pulled out Rhett's front tooth! It only took about a week of working on it, but we got it. Now all we have to do is put the tooth under Rhett's pillow so the tooth fairy can bring him his money!

Happy 4th Birthday Breyonna!!!

Happy Birthday baby girl!!! I can't believe you are four years old!!! The time keeps passing by too quickly. We love you so much and are so blessed that you are ours.

For Breyonna's birthday this year Gramma and Grampa sent us to Sunsplash in Mesa. Breyonna had so much fun!!! We started out on the slides with the tubes. Brey liked them a lot. Then we went down the other slides, but Brey didn't want to go down those. So I took the girls to the kid section and played for a while. After that we went to the wave pool and it was real crazy in there! Justin and I kept on dropping the kids during the first set of waves. But by the second set of waves we got it down. Then we went back to the tube rides and finished off the day with going around the lazy river. That was chaotic all on its own!!! I couldn't keep all of us together. Justin had to sit out because he was burned pretty badly so I was all on my own. That was our day at the water park. We all had so much fun, and Breyonna had so much fun!!!

Rhett got Brey these wings

Grammy got her this doll from Enchanted

Kaylee got her this bride doll that also came with a groom and flower girl

Grammy got Brey this cradle, and Ethen got right in. Then he was so desperate for a passie, he tried to suck on the pony's!!!

Brey got presents from her aunties and uncles too, but this year was kind of unorganized, so there was no official party. She loves and appreciates all of her presents.

4th of July

Falling Asleep

We ended up eating dinner pretty late this night, and Ethen wasn't too hungry so he just sat there. When I went to try to feed him again, he was asleep! My precious, precious boy how I love you so much!!!

Happy Fathers Day

For Father's Day we went to Home Depot to make the craft for the month. It was fun! The kids each made a boat for Justin.
