My little firefighter

We borrowed this engine from my father in law. We have a neighbor that fights fires in California so we borrowed a hat from him. Kynzee enjoyed herself and so did I. What a fun kid. I love her cute smile. She has been so fun. Love my kiddos!

It is definatly time!

I have been away for awhile. I need to get back on track, before too much time goes on. I thought it would only be natural to post our Halloween this year. I decided we would all dress up. Something that doesn't happen to often at our house. The kids enjoyed it and we had fun trick or treating with them. Steven had his costume removed before we stepped off our property. He did leave on his wig, then got wind blown and decided it was a pain to have long hair.

We began the festivities at 5pm, and was back to the house by 7pm, in the shower @ 7:30pm, dinner eaten by 8:00pm, and off to bed. Oh a PERFECT HALLOWEEN!

Labor Day Fun

Kynzee when she hasn't had much of a nap. She is still cute, but you can tell she needs some sleep because her smile is missing. She really loves her own bed at home! Kylee blew plenty of bubbles.Kynzee was loving the bubbles and she found it to be entertaining too! Great sitter for mom as well!

Here is Kylees newest buddy. Her name is Lilly and if Kylee had her way we would have adopted this little feline this weekend. She held her a lot!

Steven talked me into going with him on a mountain bike ride. I will just say NEVER again! It was dangerous. You would have thought he might have wanted me to die. I know deep down in his heart he still loves me. Thank goodness I lived to tell about it.

The boys took a crazy four wheeling trip. They also made it back in one piece! Boy, have I ever seen them more dirty? I don't think so! They took one lucky girl and she held her own! Go Breeana.

Washing up after four wheeling.

Kylee couldn't decide which one was funnier! Riding the wheeler, or playing with Lilly.
The boys were so great with my girls! They would ask them if they wanted to go for a ride. Saundra and Paul you have great kids! Love them to pieces.

Finally a little ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's ! Steven was faking but is that not a precious picture?

Many great memories made this summer! We have enjoyed our new trailer a lot. We are so lucky to have people that want to camp with us. We really enjoy the company and time we get to spend with family and friends.

Rootbeer 4 Sale!

For those of you that missed out on Rootbeer Thursday afternoon. You missed the best deal of the YEAR!!! No joke. Kylee opened her own rootbeer stand. With a great idea from mom. A helping hand from dad. We made the best rootbeer for Kylee to sale, and boy was she excited! Kylee sat down with mom to write out a list. ( I wish I had a picture of the list). She went to the store with dad in the morning to gather the items she needed. Including a brite poster! Dad and Kylee brewed up the rootbeer. Mom wrote on the poster. Kylee gathered her up some tables, cleaned them off with a bunch of 409 cleaner, and she was set to go. Her stand opened at 1p.m. and closed at 6p.m. and she fared pretty good. She had a lot of tips and she loved every minute of it. She was busy all day. She closed shop, came in for dinner, and feel fast asleep at 7 p.m.. We are so proud of her. It was HOT! I mean really HOT! But she said her rootbeer was staying ICE COLD! We had her count her own money and she learned alot from one day of hard work. We will have to do it again someday. Don't miss out next time. She has a little thank you for each person that gives her business!

Celebrating August!

Well everyone, it is August, a pretty amazing month here at the A house! Both of our daughters celebrate special days in this month. We are so excited when August rolls around. We have lots of amazing people in our life. We always reflect on them during this month of August! It took many special people helping us along the way to get our miracles in our home! We love them all!!!! My little miss Kylee, will be 5 years old. She has completed a year of preschool. She is currently in gymnastics at Utah State, and enjoys it to the fullest. She moved up in her class and goes for 4 hours a week to gym.

She is quickly learning how to read and she is a bright little gal. I can't even believe five years have gone by so fast. She will start school in a month. I am pretty sure, I will miss her while she is away! She is such a funny little character. Independent when it is her idea. She is a little beauty queen and loves to be a princess!

She loves movies and popcorn and enjoys her friends in the neighborhood. She adores her dad and loves to spend time with him. Her favorite thing at night is to snuggle with mom. She can't head to bed before she gets that time in! I like it too it makes my day complete. Love you bug! You are AMAZING to me!My sweet dream Kynzee, is almost ONE! How did this year travel so fast? I so wish I could freeze time, because she has been a complete joy in our lives! She is so full of fun and smiles. She never hardly has a stinker day. I think the only time I have noticed her unhappy, are the teething moments.

I just love waking her in the morning she greets you with a big smile and a delicious hug. She is a busy little bee! Her favorite thing is grabbing the letter magnets on the fridge and crawling from one end of the wood floor to the other just as fast as she can go. It is funny to watch her.

She gets a big kick out of Kylee, and loves to tease her dad. She gets so excited to walk she takes about five steps then makes sure she has your attention before starting over. We laugh and play til we are pooped out. Then she goes to bed so gracefully. She is a great sleeper and has never had a problem sleeping in her crib. She is honestly a little dream baby. I wish I could have more of her. I would take ten if I could.

Happy Birthday girls! Dad and Mom love you and cherish you. You have made us whole. We look forward to all the special days ahead of us.

A little summer outing!

Family time was wonderful this weekend, except for the weather could have cooperated a little better! Some of the favorites at the zoo!

This guy was having a bad day! I guess they have brought another gorilla in to his habitat and he isn't happy about it. His observationist said it could take years before they can actually put them together. For now he can smell and hear him. He, I guess was in a state of depression from what the lady told us. She was writing down his behavior every 3 minutes.

This guy put on a show while we stood there. Swinging from all the trees and carrying a sheet with him. It was pretty funny.

Kylee was so excited to see Zuri! She was quit happy she was out and about. Is Zuri a girl?

Kynzee just happy to be at the zoo!

Temple Square was great. It gave me a window of opportunity to think about my talk, I have to give on Sunday. Scary not much time to prepare!

A little family photo for fun! Thanks Jillian and Brandon for putting together this little trip! You two are so organized, and we had a lot of fun.

Love this picture of Kylee she has one just like it only a few years younger!

Cherry Hills, we actually made it in the pools for a little over 5 hours. What a surprize the weather fought us the entire time. Bracken is such a great cousin for my girls. Endless hours of him and is brothers entertaining children. Your all awesome boys!

Last but not least my two favorite girls in the world. Those smiles speak a thousand words!!
