Mojo turns 6!


6 years ago I looked into this face and fell in love with his handsome face! Today he turned 6 and what a fun 6 years we have had! From learning to walk, talk and pee in pot (and not on his sister anymore:) to preschool, baseball, swimming and video games. I still love his handsome face even more now if possible. What joy, laughter and good times he has brought into our lives! I look forward to the many years that we will have in the future and watching him grow up to be a man!

Happy Father's Day!




I am grateful today for a husband who grew up without a good example of what a father is, and yet he has become a great father! We love our daddy so much! Joey's says his favorite thing about his dad is that "he help's me with video games' Layla says her favorite thing about her dad is that "he pick's flowers for me to wear in my hair" Mom is grateful that daddy works so hard to give us a good life full of the things we need and want, that he let's me take the kids to church so they can learn how to return to live with their Heavenly Father again and that he tries to understand what I go thru every day and balances me out when I am teetering on the edge of insanity! We Luv you daddy!

Unbelievable strength!

Joey showing his unbelieveable strength for a 5 y/o!
Must be in their blood...Layla is so strong also!! These kids are so silly.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Last week was Lisa's birthday. We celebrated at home with some family fun. Cody cooked us some good steaks on the bbq and then we partied it up with some sillyness that is always to be had with the Cool kids around. We just wanted to let grandma know how much we love her and appreciate what she does to help us! It's an amazing appreciation and understanding that we come to have as we become parents ourselves. So thanks again Lisa and we love you SO much!

Tiny Dancer











Last nite was Layla's first dance recital. She was so excited! We got her ready by putting on some makeup(she thought she was such a big girl!) and curling her hair. She looked so adorable in her costumes. When it was her turn to dance she was so shy and forgot most of the dance steps but we thought she was the cutest one on the stage. She said she had a fun time and loved that everyone came to see her. We got some pics but on the stage there wasn't enough ligt for them to turn out. And I haven't been able to upload any videos ( I think they are too long/big). All in all it was a special day for her and our family! It brought back memories of my dancin' days! I can't wait for all the many more recitals to come!

Class of 2023!


I know, I know 2023 is a LONG time away, so I'll just focus on preschool class of 2010! Last week Joey had his preschool graduation. He was so excited, kept counting down the days. I sat there through the program (a bit teary-eyed) thinking... where has the time gone. I know it's only preschool but I feel as if high school grad and his mission are just over the horizon :/ It was such a cute program and I loved seeing all those kids we are around all the time so much that they feel like family! I am happy to say that Joey is one popular kid. There have been so many times that the mothers will tell me " my daughter won't stop talking bout Joey!" or "my son thinks Joey is the coolest!" I hope he continues to be a good friend to everyone as he grows up! After the graduation, we were sitting on couch and Joey says " I can't believe I graduated!" so cute! I just love that ltl "Mojo" I could'nt downloaded the video, it's too long I guess! Kindergarten here we come!
