4th of July - 2009

We have gone to Riverton every year since we have lived in our home for the 4th. They have rides, food, music and crazy people everything a carnival should have and we have such a blast! This was Kamryn's first year and she was alot of fun she loved the fireworks and clapped through the whole show, which I have to say was by far the very best fireworks display they have ever had... way to go Riverton! Kalli rode her first pony, Riley went on every scary ride imaginable, Jett made his yearly appearance at the ride with the blasting music a gal threw up on the ride but don't you worry Jett still went on he says "only comes around once a year gotta make the best of it" and I love to just people watch seriously way more fun than any ride plus the older I get the more the rides make me sick. It was such a fun night thanks to our friends who put up with us year in and year out. There is nothing like the 4th of July, we are extremely proud to live in this country...Happy Birthday America!!

Clayton Productions 2009

Kalli joined a singing and dancing group this past year called Clayton Productions and what a year it has been. She has just loved every minute of it and my how she has grown. We started out the performing season at a cute little old folks home and traveled everywhere from Park City to Wheeler Farm. They did a cute medley of the good old shows on TV like: The Adams Family, Three's Company, Cheers and Happy Days with the grand finale of "In the Faces of the Children" (written by the owner himself). She took with her cute, cousin Ava and the two of them just eat the spotlight right on up. Kalli you were a shining star!

Going Private

So after a night out with friends and watching Oprah on the DVR I have decided to take our blog private. There are way to many creeps in the world and will not take any chances of anything happening to my family. So if you would like to view our blog please leave a comment with your email or send me an email with your info.

Kamryn 6 months

I just had to share these cute photos my brother in law took of Kam. She is already 6 months old and the light of our house, it is so crazy to think how we ever made it without her. We knew someone was missing and oh how she has filled that void. It is such an honor to be a mother to my 3 amazing kid's, I have never known such joy then to watch them all play and interact with one another. Kamryn loves, loves her brother and sister and they love her just as much back.

What she is doing:
1. She can sit up on her own, oh, how she loves that.
2. She LOVES sweet potatoes and pears.
3. She screams and I mean SCREAMS, this is how she communicates - the mad not as funny!
4. She grabs everything in her view, so look out if she gets ahold of your hair.
5. She has 2 teeth, OUCH!
6. She smiles at everything.

Thanks so much Lamar for taking these amazing pictures of our little Kam.

What?....

Jett and Riley went to parent teacher conference last night and I have been irritated ever since, what do you think? He has always done really well in math but the teacher says he is falling behind so Jett proceeds to tell her how we have been doing his homework and obviously we are way off. This is the way Riley is being taught to do subtraction and addition problems...the only word I can find right now is WHAT?

Just so you know this is what the teacher wrote out on the back of the paper, I am not making it up.

The letter...

So Riley comes home from school yesterday and tells me he wrote Jett and I a letter but the catch is we can't read it until we are together. Jett comes home and we open it to find this, as we read it we were cracking up. He keeps pleading with us for a cell phone and even tries to talk my Mom, Dad and sister into changing our minds. Sorry buddy but you are only 8, but we sure love you!

Riley's special day!

On the 28th we had a big event in our home, Riley was baptized. It was such a great day and everything went so well. He had asked Jett and I to give the talks and wanted Kalli and Ava to sing. However, we did hit a minor snag for a moment he broke his arm on Wednesday playing soccer at school but lucky for us they now do water-proof casts, yay!
I can't believe how quickly 8 years has flown by,it makes me sad but at the same time it is so much fun to watch him grow and develop we could not be any more proud of our Riley he is such a wonderful boy in every way.
