June fun!!!

Our little princess got to play soccer this summer!! This was her very first game. I did not pick out her shin guards her daddy let her pick out pink ones! If it was up to me they would have been black not girlie pink! Its okay though I think she looks flipping cute with all this pink on!!

This was her soccer shirt! It goes all the way down past her knees its awesome!

They did a 30 minute practice right before the game. It was just a neighborhood soccer "league". There were probably about 6 teams or 8 I can't remember but they rotated each week so they always played a different team.

Notice that little girl in the pink in the front in the middle of all the green!? Thats my girl! If you look closely she is pushing the other kids out of the way! Go Madi!!!

Our little Casen about 2 months old.

You would think summer would mean less of this........ With a baby with asthma its never ending I swear.....

My 3 boys!

Cuddling Casen! She loves to hold him and he likes her for the most part! He gets really irritated with his older siblings after a few minutes.

He loves his daddy!!

Madi loves this dress! I got her matching silver sparkly shoes to go with it too! My little Weston is such a stud in his church clothes! Too bad they don't make zip up ties cheaper so he would leave it on!!

2 Months old

Nick's friend came down from Idaho with a bunch of his horses and he heard there was little kids around so he brought his therapy pony so that the kids could ride him!

A long day of swimming and riding the pony!

Casen't blessing day!

Petting the pony! I couldn't believe my kids did so good with him! They honestly weren't afraid of him! Which anyone that knows my kids knows that they are usually chickens! Especially Madi!

Weston's turn to ride the pony!!

Random

So today Weston found some change and some dollar bills on our counter! So the little stinker grabbed the coins and was trying to hide them from me so he could put them I'm his piggy bank! So I told him they were mine and he told me "no I had them first!" So I took the dollar bills and had them sitting on the couch next to me, Wes walks up slighly takes them and precedes to start shoving them into his piggy bank! I grabbed them from him and said "Weston stop jacking my money!" His response very clearly and kind of irritated with me "I'm not jackin' your money mommy!" I think someone taught him the whole "finders keepers rule" because when it comes to any money laying around he will take it and refuses to give it back! (dont worry I took my dollar bills back lol but let him keep the coins!)

Enjoying the warmer weather

Strike a pose!! This is how he wanted to sleep while Brett was holding him!

My handsome little man in his Michigan beenie!

Looking at this picture I now understand why people ask if they are twins!



Brett's parents came in town a few weeks ago and so all of Brett's sisters and his parents and us went up to the falls up Provo canyon and played and ate lunch! It was so much fun!



We decided to make lunch and bring it to the park and have a picnic with the kids! It was so much fun and some very well needed family time.

Keeping watch over the kids!

They had these huge tires you can climb on as you can see and Brett and the kids had so much fun on them!

I love these three! Casen was sleeping in his car seat by me the whole time which was nice.

Handsome little man!

Our beautiful princess!

Baby smiles



I love seeing these little smiles when he is sleeping! He does these cute little laughs too when he sleeps! It makes me wonder who he is talking to on the other side and what funny stories they are telling him!! This is what makes the middle of the night feeding well worth it!



So far behind!!!

My baby girl turned 4!! Poor thing didn't get much of a birthday though... We hurried and did a little "party" with just the 4 of us. Grandma was awesome and brought over a cake and some dinner to us earlier for Madi because I was only 32 weeks pregnant and having contractions regularly so I was staying on the couch trying to get them to stop. Well they didn't and right after Madi was done opening up her presents Brett and I were off to the hospital!

A month before I had him so I was about 31 weeks pregnant here.

This was my present for my birthday from my amazing husband!!! I LOVE my new car! I have never wanted a mini van! In fact I have always sworn I would never ever ever have one!! Well here is my Chrysler Town and Country and I take back all the mean things I said about mini vans because this one is amazing!!!! Thank you so much babe!!!!

Easter with the kids!! I have to tell you these two both weigh 33 pounds and are just about the same height! Lately everywhere I go everyone asks if they are twins!!

Look how long her hair is! This is Easter at Renee and Bridgette's (Brett's sisters) apartment! They did a little Easter egg hunt for their boys and Madi and Weston the kids loved it!!

Later that day at grandma and papa's house! Those are my cute little nephews! Kai was so cute with his bunny glasses on! He refused to take them off!

The race was on with the 4 grand kids! Weston followed Kai around a little but mostly he and his daddy went Easter egg hunting! Last year he would run up to the other kids and steal eggs out of their baskets! This year he caught on to finding his own eggs! He kept getting distracted though wanting to open them and eat the candy!

Our princess!

The traditional adult Easter egg hunt! I was on bed rest and was told by everyone I couldn't compete..... But at the last second my brothers gave me a bag and let me participate! Let me tell you though they still love to tease me because they decided it would be so funny to give me the bag with a huge hole in the bottom of it! I didn't even realise until all of my eggs fell out everywhere!! Thankfully my mom had my back and brought out a bag with no holes in it so I could actually keep my eggs!

Seriously how can you look at this picture and not laugh!! This is one of those fake stick on mustaches! Brett and I couldn't stop laughing at this kid! He is such a goof and loves to be center of attention! If he isn't then he will make it that way by doing something goofy and silly!!



Look how cute these two are! She is such a big helper and Brett is so good and patient with her helping her and teaching her! They were putting the Easter eggs in boiling water to get the "shrink a dinks" to stay on! They are buds and love to have fun together. In fact both of my kids are stuck to his hips as soon as he walks through the door. Seriously I couldn't ask for a better husband or daddy!



After 4 weeks on bed rest and a short active labor our baby boy Casen Jay was born April 16 at 1:22pm! He was 4 weeks and 2 days early! He weighed 6 pounds 1 ounce! This is the first time Brett got to hold him! It was only for a second because they had to take him to the NICU because he was early and having a little breathing problems. Brett was an amazing support through the whole thing and while I was in the "observation" room he was so funny and kept me up and walking around and laughing! After all the funny weird things I kept doing and dancing and jumping I'm surprised he didn't put me in the psych ward after Casen was born!

These two are in love with their brother! Casen had to stay in the NICU for about 5 days...... It was hard going back and forth trying to balance being with Madi and Wes and being at the hospital. Thankfully I have an amazing husband that took care of them and me and everything at the house and anything and everything in between! He didn't complain once! He did all this on top of working full time and going to school! My mom would take the kids during the day when Brett was working and I was at the hospital and as soon as Brett got done working he would grab the kids spend some time with them and go to bed and start all over the next day not to mention trying to find time to come to the hospital to see Casen. Let me tell you how excited we were though when we were finally able to bring Casen home! We were both emotionally and physically exhausted him even more then me! Somehow we made it through that long week (it seemed forever!!) and are settling in at home very nicely.

You don't realise how big your "babies" are getting until you bring a tiny new born home!

So handsome! He looks just like his daddy and big brother!

Weekend get away and Valentines Day!

The beginning of Feb. Brett and I had a weekend get away just the two of us down to St. George! My bestie watched our kids and even cleaned my house! We ate out, hiked around, he sat in the hot tub while I put my legs in and we just relaxed! It was nice to just get away together!!

I lived in St. George for about 6 + months and never "hiked" Dixie Rock so this is us on top of it! It looks over the whole city it is way pretty and I'm sure is absolutely gorgeous at night especially with the temple in the middle of the valley.

This is me about 25 or 26 weeks pregnant. I don't look like that anymore!! I'm glad we went down when we did because if we had waited a couple weeks it would have not been fun walking around and hiking around like we did!!

My cute mountain goat husband!! I was jealous he got to go to the top of this rock because I was eye balling it and decided it wasn't very smart to go up it with a belly!!

Look how hot my hubby is!! He kept having to remind me I couldn't do all the things that I could have if I weren't pregnant. So we had to find the easier paths to climb up and everything..... I'm glad one of us was remembering I'm clumsy and could easily fall on my tummy! I just wanted to hike up the hardest paths just to prove I still had it in me!

Here is the gorgeous St. George Temple where Brett and I were sealed! My grandpa was able to seal us which made our special day that much more special. I have always loved this temple it is just so beautiful and has so much history involving my family. You should see it at night it just glows! 

Our two beautiful babies!! They are such goofs together! This was on Valentines Day!

Standing outside aunt Desi's house!!

Yes my son is a total ladies man!! He gave the girls chocolate flowers!! Madi gave aunt Desi a bouquet of flowers!

This is going to be in their wedding video one day!!!!

Last week grandma and papa Reeves came in town so we had a ton of fun hanging out with them for a week! Then Madi was sick and had a high fever Mon-Wed. and now Weston woke up this morning with 104 temp!! Yay for sickness!! I want it all to go away and to have both my kids healthy again!!!! Not to mention the end of Jan. Weston was in the hospital with severe asthma which was so excited with a hyper 2 year old! It was nice though because we were the only ones on the pediatric floor so Weston got to run all he wanted and flirted with the nurses. He is doing amazing now with his asthma he just has to take an inhaler twice a day. We are slowly but surely getting prepared for this little boy to come into the world! I am 30 weeks pregnant so we have about 6 more weeks before we have to make sure everything is in order. The best news of the week is is that my birthday was on Tuesday and my amazing husband got me a new car!!!!! We have been needing one for so long just haven't been able to get one! So on my birthday we went and test drove and bought a Chrysler Town and Country! Everyone that knows me knows I have been completely against a mini van!! But lets be honest they aren't bad and the new body styles are a lot nicer then the ones they used to be!! I am so excited though and love it!! I am bumbed I haven't been able to drive it much the past couple days because the kids have been sick and we are hibernating but that's okay we get to drive it down to Lake Havasu City, Az soon so that will be nice having a big car instead of the little car I used to have! This is my second car ever!!!! I have had my Cavalier since I was 16! Yay for a new car!!! Anyway I hope all is well with everyone!!
