Here are a couple pictures of our trip to Nauvoo! We had an amazing time with my parents and Rick's Family!

!3 little 10 year olds for Mac's 10th birthday. It was so fun!

We love having the cousins here! We had a picnic at the park with Nana and cousins...then we blew bubbles and went to the candy factory for gelato.

JESSICA'S SHOWER WAS SO FUN!!

SHE IS LAUGHING..BECAUSE SHE GOT SOME SILKY DRAWERS....JESS ALSO SHOWED US HOW HER HAIR BOWS LOOKED WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE!!

COUSINS ARE IN TOWN! P-A-R-T-Y-!!!

McCall our sweet, funny and confident little girl. She never stops amazing us with her home performances.

So this picture is so Macky....just a cool cat with a plan! I can't wait to hear what his plan is each morning when he wakes. I don't think his mind ever shuts down!

I can't believe how grown up my little girl is getting.....when she is at school I still picture her as a little toddler so you can imagine my surprise when I look at theses pictures that were just taken....and she is a teen!

This smile makes me so happy....I can't go a few hours without making him laugh (only for selfish reasons) so I can see his smile!

Krew got a bike for his 3 year old bday and stryker who doesn't walk yet is trying it out!

NOW THAT IT IS SUNNY THE BOYS AND I WERE SETTING UP OUR FURNITURE ON THE PORCH AND GETTING THINGS READY TO PLANT OUR GARDEN AND FLOWERS. THEN I HEAR KREW SAY....STRYKER THAT IS NOT GOOD TO EAT IT IS DIRT....STRYKER WAS SO PLEASED WITH HIMSELF. WITH MUD ALL OVER HIS FACE AND HIS BIG WHITE TEETH THAT WE ALL LOVE.

HERE IS IS A FREEZING APRIL DAY. THIS WEEK MCKYNA WILL BE GETTING HER PATRIARCHAL BLESSING SO ERIK AND I TOOK HER TO THE TEMPLE TO DO BAPTISMS FOR THE DEAD. IT WAS SUCH A SWEET EXPERIENCE FOR US ALL.

WE POPPED POPCORN TODAY AND THE TWO LITTLE BUDDIES WERE HAPPILY EATING. I LOOKED OVER TO SEE KREW KINDLY SHARING HIS POPCORN, STRYKER HAD SNARFFED HIS ALL GONE. BROTHERLY LOVE.....

CAIREN AND HER KIDS CAME TO VISIT WE PLAYED EVERYDAY! WE LOVE HAVING THEM WITH US AND WERE SO SAD TO SEE THEM GO. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY SO WE LET THE LITTLE MONKEYS PLAY AT THE PARK.

IF I CAN NOT FIND KREW FOR MORE THAN 2 MINUTES I KNOW IT IS TROUBLE. TODAY I FOUND HIM IN THE TUB WITH HIS BIKE HELMET ON. HE MAKES ME LAUGH EVERYDAY! THANKS HEAVEN FOR THIS LITTLE BOY!

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT STRYKER IS ONE....ALL DAY KREW KEPT SAYING IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY ALSO SO.....I HAD TO GET A PRESENT FOR HIM AND A CAKE, I DID'T WANT HIS HEART TO BE BROKEN. IT WAS AN EXCELLENT DAY!

It is FINALLY Spring! I have not posted in SOOOOOOOO Long. I have so much to tell. For srping break we went to the movies, the aquarium and cleaned,cleaned,cleaned. My kids thought I was the MEANEST MOM EVER!(that was a quote from my Macky Doodle!) But now we live in a somewhat organized home. Which make me so much HAPPIER! Here we had srping showers and I looked out back to see the girls who are 11 and 13 dancing in the rain!

You can imagine how our meals went with 5 adults and 6 children. This is krew drinking the salad dressing. While my back was to him cleaning up the floor from Stryker. My mom thought it was so funny. We had a great time shopping,playing games, wokring out together in the mornings and strolling around the park. Next girls outing will be without the little people we love so much.

We were trying to have a movie night. And the little kids were suppose to be all snuggled in their beds.

It Was so beautiful and sunny there. We had a great time visiting and watching the little kids play at the park!

I thought it would be fun for all the sisters to go to Vegas to visit Cairen. So Mom Meggan and I flew with the three babies. And met up with Molly, Cairen and their 3 babies. Oh it was CRAAAAAZY Fun! Krew as we were getting ready for take off said, UMMMM NANA WE ARE NOT HIGH YET! We aere still on the runway.

It was such a great get away. We played games, visited and ate.

Erik, Stryker and Cynthia

McKyna and Austin

Erik and Jeff took the kids on a ride during a snow storm it was FREEZING cold! Look at Jeff's mask so funny! His face will be warm for sure.
