Soccer and Field trips

This last week the boys each had another field trip, Spencer's was with the Science club. Joe got to go with him. They had a good time hiking the trails and seeing the "nature" at the museum.


I went with Brigham to the zoo. We had a good time. :)


Playing "cowboy"!


Saturday we had the soccer party at our house. The boys had a great time. Joe made some awesome pulled pork and brisket.


Brigham with his blue frosting smile and cute trophy!


This face is something else! :)


Coach, Brigham, Joshua, Tyler, Spencer, Meba, Colby and his dad Jason. We were missing Antonio and Tate. Fun boys!!!


Lucy enjoying her frosting!

We had a fun week. School is over on Thursday. The boys are sad and excited.

No more bottle

I took Mary's bottle away one week ago today. She didn't fuss at all! Yea! She is such a joy to have around. Yesterday we went swimming with some friends and she LOVES the water and is a little crazy. I could barely hold onto her, especially after 2 hours. We also had a fun ward breakfast yesterday. I didn't take any pictures but wish I could of got a couple. Spencer got our friend pretty good with his super soaker that changes the direction it is shooting. She got right next to him thinking he was going to get me and he had made it shoot sideways and got her. It was pretty funny. :) We had fun with lots of different friends over the weekend. I didn't take any pics. :(
Last night I got to help out with the quad's that were born in the other Wylie ward 5 months ago. They are all home now and 3 of them are still on oxygen. I got to feed the one that isn't on anything. She is a cutie and was really easy. They also have a 2 year old girl. So 3 girls and 2 boys. If you think your life is crazy I can tell you more.... I think the mom is 25 yrs. old.
Anyway Joe is with Spencer today on another field trip. This one is with the Science club. I think focusing on my marathon and training for it really helped to my adjusting to being away from family/friends. I am finding myself being very very excited for July to see everyone.

Field Day 2009

Here is Spencer's class at one of 15 stations for Field Day. I volunteered all day at the sponge toss station which is right before this one. So the kids would get all wet and then go to play dodgeball or something with marshmellows in flour. So messy, so fun, or so the kids said!




Spence cheering for his team.


He is so cute, this pic makes me laugh.


Relay race.


Brig and I on lunch break.


Brig with a bunch of friends and a huge cheetoh he was proud of.


I am not really sure why he is the only one over there.




Doing his relay. They had a blast and thankfully the weather was perfect. It waited to rain!

King Tut

Spencer making his own creation to display at the Dallas Museum.


Spencer with part of his creation.


Joe and Spencer on their outing to see King Tut's treasure from his tomb on display at a museum in Dallas. They had read a book about this over a year ago (Spencer's first chapter book) and when we found out we were moving here we heard on the news this is where the exhibit was coming next. They had a great time!

Conversation with Lucy

This is a pretty good conversation other than she was talking silly because I was taping. Ever since the Jack Black Yo Gabba Gabba she has been talking about Jack Blax being her friend and coming for a visit. So I was surprised when I asked her if he was going to come over and she said no. Now she visits him in Gabba Gabba land. Great---maybe???

Happy Mother's Day!

So in Primary the boys made me coupon books. I love them and had to laugh at Spencer...each one had some stipulation or deadline.


He about died when the Primary President suggested feet too!


This was the first page in the book. After Joe gave him a couple of scenarios he told me to ignore this one ;). That isn't 50 cents either. :)


This is Brigham's sweet present.


Spencer was very excited about this gift, the rose is hooked to a pen so I won't lose it!


We had the Rigby's over for dinner. Joe made delicious pulled pork sandwiches, potato salad, and baked beans. The Rigby's brought over banana split stuff and we had a feast. We all had a great time.

These are the flowers I got this year, they are going in a pot out front, hopefully I can keep them alive.

This was the best I could get of all of them blowing me a kiss!


Cute kids! I LOVE being their mother. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to raise them even though it is daunting at times. I had a wonderful day. I really missed seeing my mom, Grandmas and sisters this weekend. We typically would go for pedicures and breakfast/lunch on Saturday. This year they went w/out me, and it was sad! I am so grateful for them.
My mom is the best! I love her so much. She has taught and continues to teach me a great deal. I am so glad I get to be her daughter! I also have wonderful Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers. They have all taught me different things and I appreciate and love them. My sisters are wonderful mothers as well and I am grateful to be in their family.

Brig's Barnyard Moosical

Brig in his latest nervous pose, his picture is in the top right corner of his pig flying.


Brigham's musical was tonight. He did AWESOME! He is really good at memorizing words and singing! He has been very excited for this too. Joe was able to meet us there even though he is technically at a training conference. Sorry the recording is just with our regular camera and Lucy was on my lap so it was a little crazy!!! :)

The Boys

Joe got to be the Watch Dog dad at the school yesterday. He was busy the whole day helping in the boys' classrooms, eating lunch with them, helping in the Smart lab, etc. They all enjoyed it. It is a cool program.


My cute boys!


Last weekend was Father -n- Sons, an outing our church does for all the guys. The boys had a great time, Joe managed it alright! It was muddy, really warm all night, lots of spiders and bugs, and a good time!


Spencer way into the fire making process. Ty Jarvis by him.


The boys in their gross shirts. Spencer created his a while ago. When I told them to get ready to go camping they went and got their jeans and long sleeved shirts (the stuff they wear in UT to camp) and then shortly realized that is was not going to be below 70 the entire time. That night was unusually warm too. Thankfully they managed to miss the huge storm.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

This was last year, but Happy Birthday Gpa Great!


Gpa and Gma at Mitch's motorcycle races.


This was in 2006, there are 4 more babies now.

I used to work for my Gpa cleaning stalls. He was a horse trainer and raced horses in Wyoming, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, etc. He loved to give us treats. He is a kind and wonderful man. I am so happy he is my Grandpa. We all love you Gpa!

Brigham's first Field trip

Cayden, Logan, Brigham, Colton. They had a good time.


Looks pretty comfy!

He was most excited and nervous for the bus. The buses were so late though they missed the imax movie we all had to pay extra for. :(
He had a good time though, I was glad I got to go with him.
